Unblock Your Crown Chakra 

Colour: VioletNatural Element: ThoughtSanskrit: Sahasrara

The seventh and final chakra, Sahasrara, is situated at the crown of the head. Sahasrara, which meaning "thousand-petaled," is a representation of the lotus flower of enlightenment. When kundalini energy ascends through all the chakras into Sahasrara, which occurs when Nirvana is attained, it is said to bloom open. The skull, brain, nerve system, pituitary gland, pineal gland, and hypothalamus are the body parts connected to Sahasrara.

We recognize ourselves as being one with the Universe/Creator and profoundly connected to its higher knowledge and guidance when consciousness is flowing through this chakra. When our higher selves and the Divine work in unison, we can achieve our fullest potential and live a spiritually healthy, balanced existence.

You could argue that Sahasrara serves as our connection to the Divine and binds our existence as humans to the unity of all things. The ego begins to disappear at this level of consciousness, and we are liberated from the confines of a "me, myself, and I" worldview. Instead, we see ourselves in everyone and everything.

How to Tell if Sahasrara is Blocked

🤯 DID YOU KNOW?

Outsmart your genes: No amount of sun salutations will make your straight hair curly, but regular yoga and exercise may affect how your body reacts to genetic mutations that cause disease. Researchers with the Resilience project, a study led by the Icahn Institute for Genomics & Multiscale Biology at Mount Sinai, New York, screened the genomes of over a half-million people; they found 13 healthy individuals harboring genetic mutations for diseases like cystic fibrosis and autoimmune disorders- these individuals should be sick, yet have somehow defied their genes. “We believe that environmental factors, such as diet and exercise, may provide a way for the resilient person to buffer disease.” Says Eric Schadt, Ph.D., founding director of the Icahn Institute. We already know yoga lowers blood pressure and stress, factors linked to chronic illness, so stick with your asana for optimal well-being.
