HEALING THE SEVENTH CHAKRA
crown chakra, is known in Sanskrit as सहस्रार (sahasrara), meaning “thousand-petaled.”
- Balance your lower chakras. As the crown of your energetic body, the seventh chakra is the last to fully mature. By healing your lower chakras, you will indirectly bring your crown chakra more into balance.
- Find a spiritual teacher. Genuine spiritual teachers are rare. However, by persistent and earnest seeking, and with a little luck, you can find a person who will be able to teach you the secrets of the spiritual realm.
- Raise children. Bringing up children in a loving family environment is a wonderful and noble service. It is by far the quickest and most effective way to learn to let go of attachment. Furthermore, watching your children go through their own transformative processes can also help you make significant and positive life changes as well.
- Read scripture (with an open mind). You might be surprised to learn how variegated are the world’s wisdom texts Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Daoism — each offers a unique perspective on human existence that is both uplifting and stimulating to the seventh chakra.
- Pray. Whether you’re a theist, agnostic, or atheist, prayer is the best way to heal the seventh chakra. It is a powerful tool for bringing your desires more clearly into focus and for establishing a direct connection with your true self.
