The seventh chakra or Sahasrara connects us with universal energy: from it the Light of knowledge and awareness of one’s being, of serenity and perception of the Oneness in the Whole is channeled.

The expansion of consciousness and the understanding of reality that derive from the opening of the seventh chakra takes place through a path of connection with oneself and with the force that flows through the channels of the body, from the base of the spine to the top of the head.

In fact, all matters relating to Enlightenment belong to the Sahasrara chakra , that is, the harmony between the individual rhythm and that of the Universe, a state of compassion in which the suffering of separation from all things is canceled.

Through the awakening of one’s enlightened part, the human being experiences the effects of the expression of the innate potential of life: Renewal (creative healing capacity), Perfection (dynamic balance or completeness in its totality) and Openness (influence on the environment) .

How to open the seventh chakra?

Working towards the opening of the seventh chakra means developing and rebalancing it . There are no simple or immediate solutions, we start from a profound choice and from an effort and a continuous exercise of self -improvement and self- realization .

You can begin to make contact with your spirituality in many ways, for example with a meditation enhanced by a rock crystal or other stones for the seventh chakra, which can be held in the hand or arranged in a circle around the body, with the tips pointing towards the center.

We can recite a mantra or help with creative visualization. Remember to unload and rinse the stones under cold water after use.

Meditation means observation and inner listening : the observation within ourselves starts through the breath. There are some effective exercises of oriental tradition, for example those prescribed by Kundalini yoga , focused on postures, breathing and flexibility of the spine.

Rudolf Steiner, founder of anthroposophy , also talks about the development of the chakras in the book How to Know the Higher Worlds (1909), providing a series of daily practices that require considerable application time.

Director’s advice: things to avoid

Some actions to be avoided are almost temptations to resist, attitudes that deviate from the path towards the opening of the seventh chakra. Let’s see some of them to look out for:

– Expecting miracles
– Relying on inexperienced hands and without professional ethics
– Pretending to become what you are not
– Being impatient
– Not following your intuition
– Being afraid of change
