Crown (Sahasrara) Chakra
Voice of Crown (Sahasrara) Chakra:
“You are Lucky and Abundant”. “You align to your true nature through gratitude and contentment”.
Introduction:
Known as Sahasrara in Sanskrit, Crown (Sahasrara) Chakra is the top Chakra of the main seven Chakras and is a thousand-petalled Lotus at the crown of the head. It is our link to the universe that tunes us to the highest form of consciousness and the Divine. It is our basis of illumination and spiritual connection, to our higher sense. Expression of gratitude and surrender are the life lessons that this Chakra teaches us. It represents Infinite wisdom. The opening of this Chakra points to the realization of pure awareness that leads to divine communion with the world.

Description:
A person with a balanced Crown (Sahasrara) Chakra is graced with an ever expanding self-realization, self-awareness and self-reflection that empower them to stand out in the crowd as they are freed from the shackles of desire. When this Crown (Sahasrara) Chakra is blocked it results in harmful and unhelpful thoughts that originate from the lack of direction and the resentment that the divine powers have abandoned you.
The seventh chakra is critical to the chakra energy system. The chakra, which surrounds the crown of your head, represents universal consciousness. It has an impact on brain functions such as intelligence, focus, and memory. People often experience spiritual growth, infinite wisdom, and higher consciousness when their crown chakras open. People gain a sense of unity, power, and self-knowledge by strengthening their connection to their spirit or soul.

If you have lost faith in God due to the things that have not happened to you or if you feel disconnected from Ishvara Tattva (the pure light), you will experience limitations and unexplainable restlessness and suffering. You feel something is incomplete, directionless, and unaligned with why are you here. This state is beginning of an imbalance/blockage in the Crown Chakra. Which deteriorates further if you have not been able to forget and forgive the past and unable to understand the importance and value of the only reality – the present moment. This state of negativity and depressive state takes you away from hope, optimism, leads to severe discontentment and causes delusions and related fears.
A tendency to always look life on the negative side, feel hopeless and discontented also blocks this chakra as you cut yourselves off from the source.
Situations with extreme shock where you are unable to come to terms with reality like the death of a close one blocks this chakra.
When a person is controlled by another and forced to live and behave as per his needs, desires and expectations, his chakra is blocked. Withheld information, education that discourages curiosity, invalidation of your beliefs, forced religiosity, superstitions, and blind obedience all contribute to a blocked crown chakra.

When the Sahasrara chakra activates, it improves one’s outlook on life. When Sahasrara chakra is balanced, you have great intuitive knowledge and are selflessly devoted to the well-being of others because you see others as a part of you rather than as something separate from you. You are aware of your spiritual self, and as a person, you are grounded and self-sufficient. Our habits and attitudes have changed dramatically. The ego no longer has control over the Self. Gratitude, compassion, and acceptance are examples of emotions that manifest as our true Self. A healthy Crown Chakra promotes spiritual understanding, peace, and mental clarity.
People with enlightened wisdom and spiritual power have a better understanding of the physical world around them. This can help one maintain a positive outlook on life and overcome obstacles in their daily lives.
If the Root Chakra exists to remind us of our earthly roots, the Crown Chakra exists to remind us to reach for what we cannot describe. The things we just know in our hearts are true. This energy is used in the worship of a deity for some, and the cycle of nature and planets for others.
When your Sahasrara is in balance, you will have an abundance of intuitive knowledge and be extremely wise. You will be aware of your spiritual self and unselfishly decided to devote to the well-being of the others as you see them as a part of you, not as separate from you.
An overactive Crown (Sahasrara) Chakra often manifests as a disconnection with the body, as too much energy is spinning erratically in the top chakra beyond the physical body, leading to a dissociation with the reality of the physical world and a blurred understanding of material things, which causes you to be unsure about yourself and who you are. This translates into a state of being driven by illusions and ungrounded ideas as well as intellectualizing too much. This translates into economic problems as there is a lack of financial responsibility as result of an inability to manage the financial world.
An underactive Crown (Sahasrara) Chakra makes it difficult for the person to take in and retain new information, learning disabilities at different levels are common. Spiritual skepticism and limiting beliefs, closed to new ways of thinking and often feeling hopeless and discontented are often found signals. These happens due to unconscious patterns that repeat again and again ruling over the person, without them being transformed by the conscious awareness of the Sahasrara chakra.
The blockage of the seventh chakra can manifest in the brain, hair, central nervous system, pineal, pituitary, and hypothalamus glands. Instability can express as headaches, migraines, neurological conditions, nerve pain, skin disorders and hair loss. Brain tumors, amnesia, Alzheimer’s, cognitive function issues, and epilepsy are serious physical issues associated with the crown chakra.
Gratitude is a positive affirmation where we focus on what we have and feel grateful for its presence in our life. This is not to say that life is perfect; it does not dismiss complaints, burdens, and inconveniences. But it shifts the focus from lack, negativity, fear and pessimism to feeling happy about the benefits and gifts that are present. This, in turn, allows us to reap more benefits from these. So we can say that gratitude helps us see the completeness in everything and find some measure of kindness in our lives. Gratitude also entails determining where that goodness comes from. We realize that the source of this goodness is not entirely within ourselves. We acknowledge others and even the higher powers who assisted us in achieving this goodness in our lives.
Contentment prepares the way for an individual’s Crown chakra to open. This communicates to the Universe that you are now prepared to live the life of a Creator rather than a dependent. As a dependent on Mother Earth, you earn only enough to meet your basic needs for food, clothing, shelter, and daily living. Just as an individual begins a career after completing his education and thus stops relying on his parents, contentment sends a message to mother earth that “Now I am ready to Create on my own.” Contentment connects a person to the Creator within and opens the door to enormous wealth in his life.
Specific Rudraksha and gemstones when worn as per RRST give the required frequency and color to the Sahasrara Chakra to balance it. Once the chakra is balanced, physical and emotional symptoms disappear and the wearer is empowered to find his life purpose and face life with renewed energy and vigor.

Facing a fear in meditation, brings it into the light of awareness and releases it. So in this technique, a person enters into meditation through use of a meditation music and then brings up the fears to surface and then releases them. You can meditate on one limiting belief at a time for 40 minutes or say the limiting beliefs that apply to you daily for 40 days.
