The Crown Chakra – ‘Sahasrana’

The Crown chakra is associated with the pineal gland, brain and central nervous system, it is the body's primary co-ordination center, the meeting point between our body and ego - the universe and our soul.  It maintains a connection to universal sources of energy and with the world as a whole, it is through this chakra that the life force is circulated from the universe into our lower chakras.  

When the crown chakra is balanced it allows us to see our true nature and to accept the self as a part of the universe, it is where the mind can achieve stillness and where we will find fulfillment in the union of knowledge, being both the knower and the object of knowledge.

It allows us to move beyond the limits of our ego and to experience a knowing that all of creation is interconnected at a fundamental level, the crown chakra is both a receiver and giver of energy and consciousness. 

If the crown chakra is not balanced we may find that we experience a fear of trusting the natural flow of life, an unwillingness to change or an inability to connect with any spiritual life force.  We may even experience a lack of focus and direction, boredom, frustration and lack of joy that might result in migraines, melancholy and loss of self.

The crown chakra leads us beyond materialism to the true nature of life which is abundant in joy, purpose and curiosity…
