Well, it looks as though I am sliding in right under the midnight radar and getting this in today, or at least starting it before it is a new day. Speaking of new days, I kind of like to think of the crown chakra as seeing each coming day as new, once the chakra is balanced and open.
Purple in color and located just above the Crown of your head, this chakra is the seventh and final of them all. This chakra allows you to connect to your higher self and intuition and allows you to receive guidance and enlightenment. I also believe it is essential to maintain full trust in whatever you believe in to allow this chakra to remain balanced and open.
Some believe that many do not achieve the full experience of the crown chakra, but perhaps that is because we have programmed ourselves to not trust everything. In this day and age we might think "trust" is hard to come by, or have, in many situations, but is it really? I put the word trust in quotes in the previous sentence, because I am beginning to understand that you can trust in anything and do it with complete faith, however, we each choose what we put our trust into.
For instance, I am single, BUT, in my last relationship I put all my faith and trust into one man, even though I wasn't sure I should, because of certain conversations we had while still dating, before things got serious, so when it didn't work out, I blamed me and said the usual, "why did I trust so much?". Well, as I have grown over the span of time, I realize my lack of trust has kept me out of relationships and opening myself to new men, because it's not the relationship I have to trust, it is me. I have to trust my intuition, and the guidance I am being given, that I am making the right decisions in my life and the path I choose. Once I have that trust then I can listen to, and heed, what my heart says, and I can have faith in the relationship I am in. All of that just flew out of my brain, so if it doesn't make sense right now, perhaps it will later, but for the most part I get it. Believing is trusting, trusting is eventually having faith.
That said, let's move on to the meditation. Sit straight, or lay flat, but keep your spine straight, comfy, but straight. Now relax and breathe in slowly, to the count of five, peace. Exhale slowly to the count of eight, your anxieties. Breathe in strength, exhale worries. Breathe in happiness, exhale anxieties, as you clear your mind. For me, I picture a beautiful purple orb, but it is dim. As you breathe naturally, with each breath, breathe light into this orb, helping it to glow, and when you exhale, exhale the negativity surrounding the crown chakra. Remember, if you have trouble imagining breathing life into a circle, you can use my pinwheel analogy from previous posts. As the orb becomes brighter, begin to watch it spin in a clockwise direction, until it is spinning at the same speed as the previous six chakra's. Pulsating and rotating at the same speed. Now take a step back to admire and respect the work you have done. Your root (red), sacral (orange), solar plexus (yellow), heart (green), throat (blue), third eye (indigo), and the crown (purple) chakra's all spinning together, at the perfect, balanced speed. Not too fast and not too slow.
Remember, as this is the seventh chakra, it too deserves the utmost respect in how it is used and maintained, as this is the most powerful of all the chakra's. In fact, it is fair to say that all of the chakra's, important in their own beautiful ways, deserve to be treated with respect. Treat them as you would want others to treat you. This will keep them, and you, balanced and a balanced you, is a peaceful you.
Until tomorrow...Let your spinal rainbow be as sweet as a bag of Skittles™.
