Chakra Series: Crown Chakra

The crown chakra, known as Sahasrara in Sanskrit, is the seventh primary chakra and is located at the top of the head. It is associated with spiritual enlightenment, universal consciousness, and a deep connection to the divine. This chakra governs our ability to access higher states of consciousness, transcending the limitations of the ego.

When the crown chakra is balanced, we experience a sense of unity with the universe, profound inner peace, and spiritual fulfillment. Conversely, when it is blocked or imbalanced, it can result in feelings of disconnection, spiritual skepticism, and a lack of purpose.

I Tolerate it Nice to be here nice to see everybody I Woke up at 5 a.

M.

.

This morning to an earthquake If you weren't all such deep sleepers you would have felt it,

Too Yes,

It's interesting I've been feeling this like rising of energy over the past Few days,

And I I was actually I I mentioned to Alexis a few different times over the past few days It's like I feel like there's an earthquake coming I guess like there's something in the collective field and it Needed to be released So yeah welcome to the last day of the chakra series series We made it go team We are at the crown chakra you guys know where the crown chakra is So if you think about it the baby right that they have the soft spot on the head The soft spot on the baby's head that would be where the crown chakra is You could almost think about it as if when this child comes into You know into this life that that they're still kind of connected to that other place Right and then as the head slowly over the year starts closing they more and more become like a dense physical being The crown chakra Is the the top of the bodily chakras There's some that think that there's three more chakras above that one even But the crown chakra is the place that has to do with Spirituality it has to do with all of the things right like above the body And the way that I learned it,

It's actually the chakra for purpose Because if you think about this as being the top of my physical body and everything above there is the immaterial Everything above us is the immaterial planes Why did why did my body take on a material form?

Why am I here?

Because I'm here Why did my body take on a material form?

Why am I here?

What is this incarnation about?

Why didn't I stay up there in the immaterial stuff?

Why did this form into a person?

So the sense of purpose why am I here?

The Crown chakra also dealing with spirituality and a lot of cultures There's a bit of almost like a hierarchical sense to it.

Like if you go to Asia And people bow right when you bow it's you're taking the highest point and you're bringing it lower When you go to India,

Right they bow at the feet of the guru I'm taking the highest point of my body and putting it to the lowest part of your body Right,

So it's also kind of seen as this place of honor,

Right?

There's a reason why we wear the crown up here,

Right?

It's this regal symbol the highest part of me this is Kind of like a showpiece people also like have cool haircuts like me,

Right?

They they do stuff up here,

Right?

But yeah,

So this the sense in the sense of purpose is what we're gonna be looking at this evening and You know,

Why why am I here?

Why are you here?

What is this about?

I think sometimes when we talk about The why am I here and the purpose and we can kind of get a little abstract because Obviously,

You're already Fulfilling your purpose,

Right?

You could never not be you are you are doing the thing this incarnation is supposed to do and even if you're like,

But I'm like lazy and It's like well like well for whatever reason this incarnation was supposed to have like a dash of laziness in it,

Too Right.

It's like we're we're a soup and all these little ingredients were put into it And we all have our own kind of like idiosyncrasies and their own lessons to learn We're also all vessels for our past and for also like the generational past When I lead retreats on the very first day,

I begin by saying,

You know,

Well,

Why are we even here?

Before we move forward.

Why why'd we even come into this room together?

And if you could get to that why and then trace it back you'd realize it's actually a why that's been built from your entire life,

Which also has been built from the lives of your parents and their parents and their parents and Then there's also all of society's kind of interweavings and our our cultures and our religious organizations If you believe in past lives,

There's even a tangential story of your own reincarnations So We are already filled with All of this stuff all of this information all of these energies Looking to be resolved looking to be cleared looking to be released looking to be channeled If you really want to figure out your purpose Honestly,

You can look inside You know,

What are the things that light you up what are The things that you know that others don't or what ways can you support other people?

Every one of us has lived this life in a very unique way.

We all have a unique set of experiences We all have a very specific vibration of frequency that no one else on this earth has ever had or ever will have You know,

We all have our own unique flavors of wisdom From our own experiences that no one else will ever have So everyone here everyone ever is Incredibly valuable is an important piece of the puzzle has something to share that nobody else in this entire planet would have to share and so it's kind of just about getting in touch with with that and also giving yourself permission permission to to shine Permission to be seen to be heard to take up space Allowing myself the ability to do that it's kind of the opposite of imposter syndrome as it were Spirituality what I learned in the monastery Conversely can also be a place to escape There's a lot of people who dealt with severe traumas in their life And not knowing how to deal with those traumas.

They instead escape out the crown Right.

I have a number of friends who are you know,

They talk light language for a living or connect to angel guides But you know their bedrooms a mess You know that Sometimes if the lower chakras are too painful or too constricted or too confused our way of functioning in this world is to to run away from all of the lower chakras that we don't know what to do with and that are just too painful and We'll escape instead into spirituality And then you know,

We could call that spiritual bypassing right spiritual bypass For myself in the monastery,

I went out there and now I'm doing this path of coming back in to what it What is it like to be a person again after being out there for so long?

And so like every chakra The crown itself it can be connected with related with utilized in a way that supports our journey or in a way that's a Continuation of us not looking at ourselves not working on ourselves Continuation of us not looking at ourselves not working on our themes not Not really facing not facing what there is to face So in tonight's journey,

We're going to be Allowing ourselves just to feel you can even take a hand just kind of Run little circles like that Over the top of the head just the palm facing down And just seeing if you even feel it without touching your head Do you still kind of get a sense that there's something up there?

Is there a Little bit of a magnetic feeling a little bit of a buzzing or a little bit of a pressure on the top of your head Even though you're not touching it Right,

So that's the spot right up there And more than asking the question of why am I here We're going to shift that into the statement of I am here I am here That's enough I'm here to do whatever it is.

I'm already doing I'm here to do more of that to be more of myself to give myself fully to this life So I invite you all to get comfortable As you get comfortable I invite you to take a really deep breath In through the nose all the way down into the belly out through the mouth This is your opportunity to rest to receive Maybe for some of you the only time in your entire week that You let go of trying to force or control or direct your energy This opportunity to allow Something beyond your mind to be in control And with the eyes closed the eyes relaxing We begin to relax also the muscles of our face Relaxing the jaw The head itself And even just setting the intention to relax the brain What is it like when you Give your brain the Command to relax Allowing the mental the psychic energy of the mind to just pour out of the head down into the earth Relaxing The shoulders the arm Down to the hands and fingers Without moving the hands seeing if you can feel all ten of your fingertips Breathing into the heart softening the heart the chest And softening into the belly Breathing into the back Down into your hips Down your legs and feet All the way down to your toes The whole body relaxes Feeling the ground beneath you Feeling the space around Allowing Your attention to rest on the top of the head and the crown chakra Imagining The crown of your head is opening And I'm like the shape of a bowl And at the very edge of the universe Place where the universe is forming the very edges There's a shimmering golden light the light of creation That light travels through time and space Entering into this room Connecting in to the top of your head A Shimmering golden light Say it's healing.

It's vibrant And is encoded with all of the information that you need About why you are here in this life About what you are actually here to do The shimmering golden light Asks your thinking mind If it would kindly release its beliefs and stories and limited perceptions To receive something Bigger More impactful More aligned with truth The universe wants you here right now at this time This life To be holding The frequency Of you And all that it asks It's for you to see yourself As perfect just as you are And exactly where you need to be All of our senses of shortcomings Of not enoughness We're never ours to begin with Inadequacy is an illusion And every time you think you've fallen off your path That is simply when things are about to get good For we are here to learn To grow to evolve And to share Feeling the space of the room around you Feeling the space of the room around you noticing you can feel the ceiling and the walls And now expanding that up into the sky above this building Just make-believe see if you can even feel some of the clouds up there And allow yourself to travel farther up into space Heading towards the source of this light heading towards the edges of creation Connecting with the source of the light Seeing what it wants to do And As we imagine connecting to this light You can ask the light show me why I'm here You See what you are shown Oh Oh Taking a deep breath Release it Feeling your body Here in this room Some deep breaths into the body Beginning to gently wiggle your fingers and your toes Giving yourself some gentle good morning stretches When you're ready coming back completely You can open the eyes
