Chakra Series Blog Sahasrara
Hello and welcome to our final blog of the Chakra Series Blog!
I must say, I love that this final chakra in this series, “Sahasrara” is coming to you in the same week that started off with the amazingly powerful New Moon Eclipse in Aries! A portal of powerful manifestation energies that could potentially launch you into the exact future you’ve been dreaming of! And this is in the same realm as Sahasrara, the Crown Chakra!
I’m excited about sharing what I know about this chakra and what it brings to those who work with it! But first, let’s talk a little about consciousness, manifestation, and where we’ve been so far.
Imagine yourself as a flower…a lotus. Your torso is the stem, your legs and feet are your roots, you could even imagine your roots extending down into the depths of the Earth.
Your roots, Muladhara, are nourished by the waters of Svadhisthana and the flames from Manipura rise up into the air in Anahata, vibrating with sound in Vishuddha and light in Ajna. All of this energy bursts upward, blooming as a beautiful iridescent, thousand petaled lotus flower from the crown of your head, Sahasrara, and at the center of the flower is your personal point of awareness that connects you to Divine Wisdom without separation.
To go beyond just knowing about this awareness and into being this awareness is realization.
The Crown Chakra represents the consciousness that operates all of the other chakras. Only one's consciousness has the ability to see, speak, love, do, feel and live in the manifested world.
The goal of working with the Crown Chakra is to free the consciousness from its distractions and experience the expansive nature of freedom, or Moksha (liberation).
“ Self-realization is the knowing in all parts of body, mind, and soul that you are now in possession of the kingdom of God.”
~ Paramahansa Yogananda
We all have glimpses of clarity and enlightenment.
Imagine you are trapped in an empty yard surrounded by block walls. On the other side is Divine Wisdom…freedom. We want to see this freedom so we jump up to get a momentary glimpse but we land back down on the ground. We jump again, and again, and again, only getting a short glimpse each time. It’s beautiful and we want it.
Some get tired and stop jumping, it’s too hard and we just keep landing back down. There are so many reasons as to why we give up and try to just make do living in the confinement of unconscious manifestation the best we can.
Others find a better solution and build a tool to see over the wall, to get a longer view of the beauty of freedom on the other side. To get longer experiences of Divine Wisdom.
In this metaphor, the wall seems real. It appears to block us from liberation, from freedom, but it is just an illusion of distractions that keep us from reaching the freedom we seek. There are many practices that we can use as tools to dissolve the distractions and get closer to experiencing Moksha. Yoga and meditation are just two of them.
For most of us, it’s only this glimpse, these “aha” moments, then much like the descent of the jump, consciousness descends back down into manifestation. But from the longer views, an awakening begins.
Then as the consciousness descends down, it condenses through the chakras into various qualities of manifestation in and around us.
Manifestation begins in the consciousness with an idea or a vision in Ajna, we then talk about it with Vishuddha, form a relationship with it in Anahata, give it energy with Manipura, nurture it with Svadhisthana and finally manifest it on the physical plane with Muladhara.
As you dissolve the wall (distractions), you then begin to notice your world changing, expanding, responding to your ideas and visions.
If this all sounds like Greek to you, perhaps you missed reading one or many of the previous blogs in this series. Please head over to my website under the “Blog” tab and you’ll find all the past blogs in this series.
