The THOUSAND PETALS OF SAHASRARA Sahasrara chakra Sahasrara chakra is represented visually as a lotus. Kundalini rushing to the Sahasrara chakra and opening the brain centre at the top of the brain is the first step towards enlightenment. Liberation means that one does not have to take birth again on the planet called Earth and is free to roam in the astral and causal realms.

The final chakra in your body is known as the crown chakra. One of the more subtle chakras to work with, translated from Sanskrit it is ‘thousand petals’, usually depicted as a thousand petal lotus.

You can imagine the crown to be a pole from a magnet and the conscious universe another. There are many references to our higher selves, our true selves which command our physical selves. This magnet is our connection to that higher self. If the energy flow is not aligned, you will be pushed away from your higher consciousness, and if it is too strong, you will be crushed. Consciousness is everywhere; it is the universe, so maintaining a balance between you and it, is the ultimate goal in becoming your higher self.

Awakening ajna opens unexpected realms of transformation, improving your state of consciousness and the ability to perceive your effect on others.

The crown chakra is the link to divine intelligence, wisdom, and understanding. A person with a balanced crown chakra feels a oneness with a higher universal power, enjoys a spiritual connection to something bigger than the individual self, and is open-minded. A balanced crown chakra allows a sense of peace in the knowledge that life has a deeper meaning than what’s on the surface.

Occult psychology views the mind as divided into the masculine active consciousness and the feminine passive unconscious. The art of mental cre-ation is an alchemical process of impregnating the unconscious mind with a seed or germinal idea, grasped by the consciousness.

Sahasrara means thousands of petals or unlimited magnitude. These unlimited petals are the doors of knowledge. These are doors or ways of liberation. In the Hindu religion, peace is not the ultimate goal of humankind. Vedas say that the ultimate goal is to gain liberation from this cycle of birth and death. The goal of expanding human consciousness is to solve the broader questions of the universe. People believe that once this chakra completely opens up, knowing anything becomes easy. Your consciousness and the consciousness of the universe become one at this point.

People have tried for centuries and have come up with certain guidelines that may help in opening up this chakra.

This chakra is simply a way to connect to the divine force. Even in Vedas, the seventh chakra is not described as a medium to meet any god or deity. It is simply described as a way to unite with the divine force in whatever form it may come. The journey to the seventh chakra is in no way intellectual or religious; it is purely spiritual.

However, you must become cautious that this is the most powerful chakra of all. The amount of energy at this level may become very difficult for anyone to handle if this path opens up accidentally.

There is nothing in terms of attainment that you could get at the 7th chakra. This chakra doesn’t come with mystical powers that charm people. It is simply a door to endless and rare knowledge about higher consciousness and liberation. It is a path on which there is no surety of return. Once you reach there, you may not want to return, or the return may become futile. Once you know what’s there, knowing or seeing anything else may become completely inconsequential. It is a certain path of complete detachment.

The sahasrara chakra is your crown of holy connection to the divine. This chakra sits at the top of the head, where it emanates a bright violet disk of protective light and compassionate energy. “Sahasrara” translates to “thousand fold” and metaphorically describes the multi-petaled lotus residing at the crown. The crown chakra acts as an embodiment of our pure, powerful, and spiritual nature.

The third eye chakra is a powerful energy center within the body and is connected with the pineal gland. The third eye chakra and the pineal gland are both portals to consciousness and clarity of intuition.

An activated third eye chakra brings with it wisdom and vivid, focused awareness. When awakened, the third eye chakra can cultivate enhanced insight and vision, along with the ability to connect with and transcend into a concentrated state of consciousness.

The chakras are the body’s energy vortexes. These energy centers determine how, where, and why energy is flowing within your physical body. The chakras also channel and regulate your etheric body, which is the first layer or aura of the physical body.

Opening the 1,000-petalled lotus of the sahasrara chakra and flooding the being with indescribable bliss.

Kundalini rushing to the Sahasrara chakra and opening the brain centre at the top of the brain is the first step towards enlightenment. Liberation means that one does not have to take birth again on the planet called Earth and is free to roam in the astral and causal realms.
