The CROWN CHAKRA

DEFINITION:

Identified by Yoga as the 'Crown' or "Thousand-Petaled Lotus" Chakra, this Aura-center encompasses the Crown of the Head, upper brain-mass and the ductless glands located within the brain. Associated with "Macroprospectus" in Kaballah.. and 'Cosmic Consciousness' in western Mystical traditions.. this Chakra "houses" that portion of the Self which endures unchanged through time. While the Soul (centered in the Third Eye or Brown Chakra just below the Crown) evolves from Life to Life (or Phase to Phase in our development,) the Akashic "Light Body" can be viewed as one's "ETERNAL POTENTIAL" and "LASTING IDENTITY."

This Chakra connects to THE AKASHIC PLANE of 'indestructable light' of Asian Metaphysics. The Self-Identity which lives in this dimension of Light was called 'the Sekhem' by ancient Egyptians (meaning "the Power" and "the Form",) and may best be translated into English as "the God-Self" of Jungian Analysis. For further information on this, see the Spiritual/Metaphysical Level of this Manual.. as well as the God-Self Phase in the Mental/Emotional Level.

This Chakra and it's 'occupant' the Akashic Self are that portion of us which GOVERNS all lower portions of our makeup. Anytime one finds oneself "obeying a higher calling" or acting upon a sense of 'destiny' which they cannot logically explain, they are following the dictates of the Crown Chakra and it's powerful Authority over our lives.

Naturally, there is NO WAY of over-riding the Authority of this Chakra: the best one can do is "obey" it more deliberately. Any imbalance or trauma to this Chakra indicates that one is being 'controlled' by the Higher Authority of the Akashic Self, and the only real 'solution' to such crises is to LEARN THE IDENTITY AND "DESTINY" OF ONE'S AKASHIC SELF-IDENTITY. See the Spiritual/Metaphysical Level of the Manual for more details on this process.

This Chakra is nourished by the following two Acupuncture Meridians:

CIRCULATION-SEX/Pericardium (Sagittarius) MERIDIAN

The two points marked by an 'x' in the drawings above are Acupressure Massage Points you may use to help balance the energy in this Meridian. A few minutes of light massage here can help a lot! NOTE that if both points on both arms or legs are equally VERY painful to massage, you may have an energy-imbalance too strong for massage-therapy to solve; a visit to an Acupuncturist or your primary Physician is recommended.

TRIPLE-WARMER (Capricorn) MERIDIAN

The two points marked by an 'x' in the drawings above are Acupressure Massage Points you may use to help balance the energy in this Meridian. A few minutes of light massage here can help a lot! NOTE that if both points on both arms or legs are equally VERY painful to massage, you may have an energy-imbalance too strong for massage-therapy to solve; a visit to an Acupuncturist or your primary Physician is recommended.
