The 7th Chakra (Sahasrara), means ‘thousand-petaled’ and is all about super-consciousness and transcending the human condition.

• This energy centre controls our connection to spirit, and our sense of universal consciousness, wisdom, unity and self-knowledge.

• Association with the colour violet reflects the Crown chakra’s link to spirituality and enlightenment.

• When right and left sides of the brain merge, the mid-brain goes through a sudden awakening, as all the ‘lights’ get switched on.

• This leads to the experience known as Mahamudra, the Great Gesture arising from the ultimate orgasm with the universe.

• Such experience takes us beyond duality into oneness with all that is.

• We move from personal love, into universal love.

• The Crown chakra stores energies amassed through kind thoughts and actions, faith, meditation and prayer.

• Here we are able to transcend the material world and commune with the divine.

• Sahasrara is aligned to seek an intimate relationship with the universe.
