by Kaisa Kapanen: The seventh and final Chakra brings all of the other chakras together...

The Sahasrara chakra is our connection to the divine and it makes us experience the deeper purpose of our lives. It is located on the top of the head, and through this chakra we can experience the connection and unity with the universe.

This chakra is represented by a lotus flower with thousand petals radiating white and violet light. The seventh chakra is the point where the body and the ego meet the soul and the universe. Through the crown chakra we receive energy from the universe as well as give it out from us towards the universe. This energy then forms a collective consciousness, a matrix of energies that is interconnected and that influence each other.

When this chakra is open, we can live in peace and be grateful and joyous about the events in our lives. We are aware of the connection between us and the universe, and feel that there is a grand plan for everything unfolding.

If the Crown chakra is closed, one can have a belief that the intuitive knowledge is not available for us. One can be skeptical towards the spiritual world, and only believe what can be seen with one’s own eyes. One can lack the feeling of connection to other beings, and wants to possess material things in life for security.

How to Open the Crown Chakra

The spiritual journey is beginning when the Crown Chakra starts to open. Everyone experiences their spiritual journey differently, some find it easy to deepen into meditation or yoga, and others find other means of getting in touch with their inner quest for a deeper meaning.

Tuning out the noise from outside will help to let the divine information in. Meditation turns the awareness inwards and quiets the mind. When the mind is quiet, we can hear the soul, which is always connected to the Divine Source.

You can also write down any visions you may have. These can be dreams, intuitive feelings, colors and shapes that may at first seem like they do not make sense. But don’t judge these visions with the mind, and try to stay open to their message.

Gratefulness if a beautiful tool to notice all of the things around us that we have. Instead of asking for more, when we are grateful for what we already have, we open the channels for more good to come into our lives.
