Chakra Seven: The Grand Finale

Yes, indeed.  This is where yoga and our chakras ultimately connect for the big payoff.  Chakra Seven,  Sahasrara, is located at the top or crown of our heads, and means “thousandfold.”  The element it represents is thought, and it is said to produce bliss and true knowledge.  The color associated with this chakra is a radiant, pure white, and as we are supposed to meditate in silence to elevate this chakra, there are no sounds linked to it.

The yoga posture used to stimulate this chakra is the simple headstand.  If you are unable to do a headstand, the traditional seated yoga position, the full lotus also works well.  To do this pose, simply sit on the floor, legs folded up onto your knees. To engage the top of the head where this chakra is located, simply lower the crown of your head to the floor, that should do the trick.  I think a headstand is easier, myself, and I am pretty uncoordinated! 

The concepts of selflessness, devotion, inspiration and greater understanding are all connected to Chakra Seven, so it is an important one.  Give it a try, meditate quietly and pass through to an enhanced sense of place and mindfulness. That’s the goal.  Sounds simple enough, but it takes some time to truly connect and feel the transformation through this path.  But it’s all a processs.

Carry on, and Peace.
