thirdeye12 Just as the first (root) chakra connect us to Mother Earth, the seventh (crown) chakra connects us with the Divine. Martha Graham famously said:

“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.”

Keeping the channel open is communing with the Divine, however you see that Source of All. Our crown chakra is this portal to divine inspiration. As we open our seventh chakra and allow Spirit to enter our lives, we rest in this place of communion, of being part of the whole. And from this Source we receive our life force – that spark of uniqueness – our true essence.

When we are on our path, when we are living a life on purpose, full of joy and gratitude, we are in this space of communion. We are living the life we are meant to live.

Following your purpose in the deepest sense means that you are not concerned with the shoulds of the world. You’re not concerned about how your gift is being received. As Martha Graham says, you’re business is to express it – that’s all.

This is the state of Grace — when your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, words, and actions are outward expressions of your life’s purpose. That is the joy. As you come to know, deep within your soul, that you are living a life full of inner purpose and meaning, you radiate this joy out into the world, affecting everyone around you.

As you raise your frequency to match your unique purpose, you raise the vibration of the thoughts and feelings you transmit into the world. Think of that. As you think and feel joy and love and enthusiasm, those thought-forms travel from you to others around you. As other people pick up those vibrations, they will begin to match that higher vibration.

Your true mission in life is to express your unique gift—and to share it with the world. Opening and balancing all seven body chakras in the symphony of joy – allows you to be this beacon. To share. To be. To express.

Namaste.

Unlike the other six chakras, the seventh chakra is not a wheel; it’s a ring of energy, sitting almost like a monarch’s crown, on top of the head. Not surprisingly, it is sometimes referred to as the “crown chakra.” This energy center is your connection to the Divine. However you see that Source of All, this is your space of communion. When the seventh chakra is vibrating in a match with the Divine, you are vibrating in a state of knowing your own Spirit.

The work we’re doing together is about removing foreign energy from your seventh chakra, helping you to shine brightly, to stand in your own truth, and to become comfortable in your own skin. Being seen for who you really are, and sharing your personal light with the world, is the focus of the Chakra Clearing for Prosperity program.

Our experience of being who-we-really-truly-are—the thoughts and feelings that resonate and vibrate within us—is called our life force. This life-force energy permeates our whole being, radiating from the chakras and out to the physical body. By removing foreign energy from our chakras, we release tension in our body, allowing our life force—our chi—to move freely, bringing balance and harmony to mind, body, and soul. When we imagine popping a Golden Sun and feel that energy course through our body and aura, we are actually filling in with more of our own life-force energy.

This life force energy I believe is a glimmer of the Divine that resides within each of us. We are all connected to one another and to the Source of All. We are sparks of the Eternal Flame and as such we are never alone.

Meditation offers us the opportunity to explore this connection to the Divine. When we meditate, we open up the link between the conscious and unconscious minds, allowing us access to All Knowingness. There are many ways to meditate. One is not better than the other. Pick one that works for you. Commit to spending time each day connecting in with this energy of All. The following is a quick meditation that you can do anytime to feel one with Source.

The Energy of Home

As you sit in meditation, imagine your crown chakra vibrating in the color gold, the highest vibrational color. Sense a gold beam of light coming down from the Divine, kissing the top of your head and filling your crown chakra. Feel your whole body and aura come into alignment with this vibration of love, compassion, and grace. You are vibrating in a match and filled up, from head to toe, with the energy of Oneness. Ask that your life force, your chi, be brought into a harmonic with this vibration. Feel energized and filled to the brim with life affirming energies. You are one with All and as your life force moves throughout your body, you will maintain that connection.

Sit in this energy of “home” for as long as you would like. When you are ready to return to your day, thank the Divine and watch as the gold beam of light disengages from your crown chakra and moves back up into the cosmos. Know that you many connect to this Source Energy as often as you would like.

Loving-Kindness

You are never alone. We are all connected to the Universal Source and because of that, to one another. We are truly our brother’s keeper. What touches one, affects the whole. Your thoughts, your feelings, and your actions radiate from you and are received by others. You are involved in humankind, whether you are consciously aware of it or not. Choose to be a conscious creator of love and kindness.

No man is an Island, entire of itself;

Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;

If a clod be washed away by the sea,

Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were,

As well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were;

Any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind;

And therefore, never send to know for whom the bell tolls;

It tolls for thee. ~John Donne, Meditation XVII
