Crown Chakra (repost)

[Guest guest]

I kept gamely sending the other posts... did they get lost in the

shuffle, or does anyone have any questions or comments?

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

This is the seventh in the series discussion regarding the

energy centers or chakras.

 

The Crown Chakra

 

Location: Top of head (opens at top of channel opposite root)

 

Glands: Pituitary (sometimes Pineal)

 

Body Parts: Central Nervous System

 

Sanskrit Name: Sahasrara

 

Element: Thought

 

Color Vibration:Violet and White (containing all colors)

 

Keynote Vibration: B

 

Focus: Understanding, bliss, cosmic consciousness, enlightenment,

divine purpose

 

Stones: amethyst, diamond, clear quartz

 

Incense: lotus, rose, spruce

 

Foods: Fasting

 

Affirmations:I know, I understand, I am one with all creation, I

am in harmony

 

Disorders: The crown chakra has far fewer noticeable dysfunctions

on the physical level, although certain types

of cancers and aneurysms that have the effect of expanding

consciousness might qualify. For the most part, a

disorder of the crown chakra would manifest in a blocked state,

either a denial of the spiritual nature of being or

an inability to accept transcendent concepts.

 

It might be noted that infants " come in " with a well expanded

crown and root chakra, and that the other

energy centers develop naturally as the child matures. Since the

crown and the root are both conduits for

entrance of energy into the field, the root usually bringing in

the deeper vibrations of earth energy while the

crown brings in the higher vibrations, they can be considered to

be like the poles of a magnet... both necessary

for the correct balance and flow of energy throughout the

system. It might also be noted that the aspects of

spirituality that illicit the strongest fear response are usually

those that threaten the root (i.e. death or near

death experiences). Terminal illness is an opportunity for

expansion of the spiritual center and a softening of the

roots, preparing for release and transition. Seen in this way, a

person with such a challenge can transcend the

physical aspects and move into an accepting, peaceful place, a

true healing, or wholeness.

 

Exploration of soul purpose and greater life goals are a function

of this energy center. Beyond a place of

" thought " or " imagination " , this is a place of " knowing " .

Meditation (sitting or moving), releasing attachment to

personality fixations and desires, acceptance of the myriad

aspects of " I AM " that include communion and

blending with a higher power/creator, openness to sacrifice in

order to accomplish higher objectives and

exploration of spiritual potentials that reach past traditional

religious experience are all ways that this knowing

can be incorporated into being. In this mindset, the past and

future are conceptual aspects of an ever present

now, and as such have less relevance to decision making or

focus. Like the eye of the storm, an open and well

functioning crown chakra can behave like a shelter from the

buffeting crises of incarnate existence.

 

Balanced with gentle temperence from the root, the crown chakra's

influence can be boundless and expansive.

The crown is the apex of chakra development, but is not meant in

any way to replace the functions of the other

centers. The crown can help a person in recognition of how their

skills, experience and knowledge can assist

them in personal growth. The crown can help a person find " zen "

in the simple and necessary tasks of living, or as

the old expression goes, " Before enlightenment, sweep floor, cook

rice; after enlightment, sweep floor, cook rice. "

A deeper form of pleasure and satisfaction emerges, leading to a

greater understanding and acceptance of

potentials and limitations.

 

A vivid symbol of the crown chakra is the full moon, manifesting

a reflection of the sun in purity and wholeness.

 

Some animal representations used for the crown are the twin

snakes, Ida and Pengala, which represent the

movement of kundalini, and the dragon, emperor of the lizards,

whose medicine is mastering the dreamtime.

I think that everyone has been effected by this. I personally am having

flashbacks of things that I did not give myself permission to mourn! We are

all going 'through' something similar, and or very different. We need to be

speaking our thoughts so it will help others to heal as well. Rose

We OWN the space we 'stand' on, and must declare our sanity, sooner or later.

We must learn to reach out to one another, and to give love, that is so

needed now. Tensions are running high, and we will see alot of 'feelings'

--hopefully expressed, and net held in. We must help others to feel safe

enough to do so.

God help those who help others.

Thank you for reposting these...I think we're all just

a tad distracted at the moment. I, for one, am going

through the motions but my ability to concentrate has

been effected.
