Sahasrara - The Crown Chakra

Sahasrara (Sanskrit: सहस्रर)
A Thousand Petaled Lotus, Pure Consciousness.



Sahasrara is associated with the element of creation-“The Source”, works with the senses of thought. This chakra has the function of detaching a person from illusion – something essential if a person is to fully understand Sahasrara. Also known as the Crown Chakra, Sahasrara is the last chakra in the Kundalini system. It is also the most important chakra in the system, it relates to pure consciousness and all other chakras originated from the Crown Chakra.

Meditation on Sahasrara is said to bring about the power to do whatever it is one wishes.
This chakra relates to the actions of spiritual connection, wisdom, understanding information and presence. When Kundalini reaches up to Sahasrara, the illusion of self is dissolved, and a person has a deeper understanding and connection to everything and everyone: “One is all, and all is one.”

It is highly uncommon for Sahasrara to be fully opened up – Through history, these people were always Spiritual Leaders or Physicists with forward ideas, but due to the majority of people being on a lower level of understanding, many of these people were tortured and/or killed for speaking heresy.


When Sahasrara is unbalanced, a person may notice or suffer:
-      Confusion
-      Learning Difficulties
-      Over Intellectualising things
-      Disconnection to Spirit
-      Warped vision of reality
-      Dissociation from the body
-      Apathy

To open up Sahasrara and balance this chakra out, a person must first overcome the obstacle of ego and reach a healthy level of selflessness. A person must then find compassion, unconditional love and peace-both inner and outer, as this is what Sahasrara feeds on, and share it with the world.
For the highest powers of Sahasrara to come through, a person must have full knowledge and understanding as to why they were incarnated to this planet.
