The Crown Chakra
Gateway of the Void (Seventh)
The
crown chakra is said to be the chakra of consciousness and pure awareness, the
master chakra that controls all the others.
In the language of energy, the seventh chakra is the entry point of human life force itself - an invisible current of energy that endlessly pours into the human energy system, nourishing every part of the body, the mind and the spirit.
A healthy life force has vitality and very clear focus to it. This aspect of focus is very significant because it means that the person has a level of awareness regarding where he or she invests the energy of their life. In other words, it indicates that a person is mindful of his or her personal value and as such, invests energy, time and attention with care, thoughtfulness and wisdom.
The colour for this chakra is a mixture of Silver, Gold and White/Violet. The silver in this chakra is the feminine energy of creation, the gold in the chakra is the masculine energy of creation, and the white/violet light is truth and clarity which give clear vision of the truth and protection.
This centre is our connection to the greater world beyond, to a timeless, space less place of all-knowing. When developed, this chakra brings us knowledge, wisdom, understanding, spiritual connection and bliss.
