Sahasrara is the 7th chakra also known as the crown chakra. It is located just above the crown of the head. The body parts it governs are the pituitary gland and the cerebral cortex. The crown chakra is probably the hardest energy centre to connect with, although this may be different for everybody. When this chakra is balanced, we feel a complete sense of oneness with all that is around us and connection to the divine. Sahasrara represents enlightenment and reaching a pure awareness state, disconnecting of all personal identity. When the crown chakra is out of balance, we can experience depression, lose all sense of joy for life, feeling stuck and dissociated from the world or on the contrary, thinking as a self-guru, putting oneself above others. The following practices can help activate and balance sahasrara. SIRSASANA |
