Crown Chakra

The crown chakra is the seventh chakra. Located at the top of the head, it gives us access to higher states of consciousness as we open to what is beyond our personal preoccupations and visions. The function of the Crown chakra is driven by consciousness and gets us in touch with the universal. The Sanskrit name “Sahasrara” is sometimes used to designate the seventh chakra. It can be translated as “Thousand petals”. The crown chakra is most commonly represented with the color white, although it can also be depicted as deep purple. The auric color of crown chakra energy can also be seen as gold, white, or clear light.There is no intellectual knowing at the level of seventh chakra, but there is serenity, joy, and deep peace about life. You have a sense of knowing that there is a deeper meaning of life and that there is an order that underlies all of existence. The "way of the crown chakra" is the way of going beyond the limits of your own ego. It is the way of transcending the ego and knowing that all of creation is interconnected at a fundamental level. A level that some call the "Akasha" or "Zero Point Field", or just "the Field". This is the fundamental level of connection. According to Tantric philosophy, the seventh chakra is both a receiver and giver of energy and consciousness. It receives energy to sustain life and it gives back the personal energy to unite with the collective pool of consciousness. It is the meeting point between finite (the body and the ego) and infinite (the universe and soul). It is the place where time and timelessness intersect and where death and eternal life meet. The thousand petal chakra embraces an attitude of gratitude for one's life. When we realize that everything is interconnected and that we are part of the larger scheme of life, we begin to live with gratitude, faith and trust, rather than filled with fear and anxiety. We are guided by the higher power and we feel divinity from within and from without. The challenge of this chakra is to liberate the spirit - open to the divine - and at the same time stay firmly rooted deep in the ground. The element of this chakra is Cosmic energy, Pure light and source of creation. A human in a balanced and open state of the Crown Chakra is fully aware that true bliss and happiness lie not in any of the experiences available for the ego in the world of time and space but only in self-transcendence. In such a state, the person becomes uninterested in the possible satisfaction of worldly experiences and shifts one’s attention, energy and ambition to the realm of spiritual union. One fully understands that real satisfaction takes place not in strengthening one’s ego but in its diminishing. This person would be naturally inclined to mediation and silence. Meditation would no longer be an effortful duty but the love and passion of one’s soul. A natural, effortless attraction towards scriptures and the words of wise masters would lead the person to the ongoing experience that only this can quench one’s thirst. One would seek knowledge not for gaining more concepts and intellectual broadening, but would rather seek the type of knowledge that promotes greater non-attachment and deeper liberation, including from all known concepts. The level of resistance in mediation and spiritual practice would be very minimal and so, it would be extremely easy to prolong one’s stay in an intense meditative atmosphere such as retreats, fasting, learning from spiritual teachers and meditating. If anything, one would feel at the end of an intense learning a greater thirst and not a need to retire from spiritual engagement and to return to land in ordinary consciousness. There would be an increasing sense of inner satisfaction that doesn’t come from externals, and so the incessant ego drive towards searching in the world would significantly diminish. One would occasionally enter powerful spiritual experiences and would naturally find oneself busy, mentally and emotionally, with spiritual questions and focus. In this state one’s major center of gravity and identity would shift to the spiritual realm. The Crown Chakra deals with the deeper questions which strive to tap into the “unknowable”, as found in death and deep sleep. It invites us to experience states of self-transcendence in which our separate sense of self blends into a greater whole, while keeping a sweet secret in it that on the other side of our ego’s fear of death, there awaits a tremendous sense of liberation, limitlessness and bliss.

The unbalanced and blocked state of the Crown Chakra is characterised by a sense of intense earthly gravity, resistance to the spiritual realm and fear of self-dissolution. This state of imbalance is first and foremost caused by a lower Chakras imbalance – when lower Chakras have still not awakened to their spiritual aspects and potential. When the lower Chakras, especially the three lower ones, draw all one’s attention to psychological and worldly matters, they keep one’s life-force busy and even drain it. Thus, there has to be some lower Chakras resolution and relaxation to allow the force of Kundalini to rise all the way to the Crown Chakra. The presence of spiritual teachers or occasional experiences can make a person, even in a blocked Crown Chakra state, able to open it momentarily. However, as long as one’s major interest and engagement in life are worldly by nature, this prevents the sufficient energy needed for Crown Chakra balancing and opening. There is yet another possible cause for Crown Chakra imbalance and that is a certain trauma that took place either in the spiritual realm, or in anything that is related to an unexpected loss of boundaries of the self-consciousness. An imbalance in the crown chakra leads to spiritual distress. Symptoms of a blockage in the seventh chakra include: Isolation and loneliness; inability to connect with others,lack of direction,Inability to set or maintain goals,feeling disconnected spiritually,neurological disorders,nerve pain,Thyroid and pineal gland disorders,Alzheim headaches, migraines,Schizophrenia and delusional disorders,Insomnia,Depression,Being disconnected to spirit, constant cynicism regarding what is sacred,On the opposite side, an overactive crown chakra could manifest as a disconnection with the body,Living in your head, being disconnected from your body and earthly matters,Obsessive attachment to spiritual matters,Closed-mindedness,Poor coordination,Chronic tension headaches,Exhaustion,

The yoga headstand is one of the harder moves to master in yoga, but once you figure it out, you'll feel like an expert yogi! This move is also one of the seventh chakra boosting positions that will help yogis connect to the world outside of them. The crown chakra sits at the top of your head and serves as the meeting point between the self, so this position essentially joins this chakra to the earth and all that it encompasses.

Cross one leg over the other and place your hands gently on your knees. Next, stay in this position and meditate for as long as needed.

It takes concentration and balance not to tip right over, but once you have it down, it is the perfect crown chakra pose. Trust yourself and your instincts here, allow room for attempts and failures, and eventually for success. After all, that is pretty much the essence of life in a nutshell. This position is also great for tapping into the root chakra,which helps to generate creativity and stability in one's self.So much chakra work with one fairly simple position! It's pretty much a chakra deal.The plow pose is an inverted position used in yoga practice to open and balance out the crown chakra while also stretching out the spine region and the shoulders. If you have back issues or shoulder problems, be extra careful with this one and only attempt a modified version or utilize it under the care of a professional yoga instructor. No chakras will be opening with an injury!This stretch looks about as easy as breathing, but in yoga, sometimes the most straightforward looking moves can end up being the most challenging. Sit flat on your bottom with your legs stretched out in front of you. Flex the feet and hinge forward at the waist. When you are about as far as you can go, take a deep breath and try to easy deeper into the stretch, all the while focusing on your stabilization and your breath. Sink deeper and longer and give that seventh chakra time to do its thing.Breathe, be quiet in your mind, and still in your body. That is the goal of the reclining bound angle pose. Sit on the ground with your knees bent. Ease your back onto the floor and allow your legs to fall open gently. No need to force them to the ground completely; this position shouldn't cause pain and strain. Breathe deeply for several minutes and clear your mind space entirely. Seriously, how good does this one feel?
