Climb to the Summit and See the Light
(My first and favorite quartz crystal cluster above)
When navigating a difficult mountain hike, I must stay focused and trust I will discover an amazing summit upon arrival. It may not be easy and there will be distractions tempting me to go off course. But I know there is always a reward waiting for me when I get back on the trail.
The same goes for navigating with determination through the lower chakras to arrive at the top, the Crown Chakra. First we must clear, restore, and balance the other six chakras: Root, Sacral, Solar, Heart, Throat, and Third Eye. An ongoing journey of life, not just a destination.
We align ourselves physically and energetically towards Higher Consciousness. Enlightenment, a term we often hear when seeking ultimate and divine connection with a higher power. We all have a name for something bigger than us, this consciousness. What's yours? Maybe God, Creator, Divine, or Universe, for instance.
Glowing, lustrous violet hues form into a pure white royal crown found at the top center, slightly above our head. Our Crown Jewel, Sahasrara (Suh-has-ra-ra) in sanskrit means a thousand petals. We discover incredible awareness of unity, and spiritual deepening or awakening. We feel whole, infinite, and peaceful.
There are many effective methods for harmonizing our chakras and specifically for our Crown. Specific breath practices, yoga poses and meditation are beneficial.
Breathe/Pranayama:
Alternate Nostril Breathing/Nadi Shodhana with eyes closed while seated is my favorite. Seal off the right nostril as you fully inhale through the left, seal the left as you fully exhale right. Inhale right, seal right and exhale left. Pause in between breaths as able. Repeat several rounds, release then notice the shift while in stillness. Works like a charm for meditation, calming stress, and for insomnia.
Poses:
Inversions place your head below your heart, and Yin poses help us stretch while seated when held 3-4 minutes to release tension.
Savasana/Corpse Pose in stillness while lying down challenges us to release distractions and soften the physical body.
Easy Pose, Sukasana must be comfortable to enhance your ability to clear and connect. Gentle stretches first will help immensely.
Meditation:
Gentle breaths with softly, closed eyes.
Visualize the violet to pure white light.
Silent O-M mantra with each exhale.
Guided meditations, and pleasant sounds like peaceful music, crystal bowls, chants, and nature release distractions so we may concentrate inward to notice what divine may reveal for us.
When we have intention and understand that what we seek is attainable with some adjustments we are motivated to align our energy centers and nourish our Crown energy frequency. We feel and see more clearly.
