Formation of the Higher Chakra System – Seventh Chakra
The seventh chakra is known in Sanskrit as Sahasrara, the thousand-petaled lotus, and as the ‘crown’ in English. It is at the very top of the head, thus ‘crown’. This chakra is well-known as the point that a true kundalini awakening travels upward and ignites amazing consciousness within, but it is also the entrance point for prana, the universal energy and the Divine Light. The seventh chakra, as with all the chakras, has two-way energy flow, but the reception of Divine Light energy is of prime importance in my healing work. This is the portal to the Divine and a focus for awakening. The seventh chakra opens in conjunction with the first, or base chakra. As the Divine Light I work with enters, the base chakra serves as a ‘grounding rod’, much as with electricity. There is a resonating earth energy that can be moved up into the heart from our living planet consciousness, Gaia, pulsing in the very core of the earth.
This process of light reception can be activated and ‘called in’, and this Divine Light will replace the old undesirable energies with one of wholeness, guidance and connection with God and higher self. I have been using this technique in every healing session for many years, as it is the most effective I have found for clearing energies and bringing in the transformation of energy and holiness that is such an intrinsic part of the healing process. I call it the ‘Invocation of Light’. This part of a session often seems to be an initiation, and for those that have never experienced such a thing it is hard to describe; it can be subtle yet powerful. Many of my clients describe it as ‘floating on clouds.
A profound stillness and serenity with a graceful over-lighting that defies description enters during the later phase of most of my healing sessions, after the Light has filled the heart chakra. There often is a floating in reverie feeling and communion with the Sacred Divine that allows a surrender of burdens. It can manifest in several ways; as a cone of light coming down all around the client, and as a stream of light directly entering the seventh chakra, often accompanied by a subtle opening and circling movement of energy that has never before been felt. It is usually pure white. Many are in a thoughtless samadhi after the integration of this light, at the end of the session.
Sometimes when one is feeling limited in their meditation practice and blocked in achieving higher states, a sort of cap can be found in the energetic realms, hovering just above the crown chakra and blocking the light transmission; by removing this, they can go deeper. Although much of my healing work is focused on the lower chakras, when I arrive at a point with the higher chakra’s energies, it is a fascinating and beautiful process. I also feel the stream. It lingers and energizes me all day after a session.
It must be noted that no claim should be made by a healer that he or she is the source of healing, for the true Source of this Divine Light is Spirit, and I am a merely the facilitator through which it flows. However, an experienced and expert facilitator is necessary, for we simply cannot see ourselves with our own eye, and the reality is seen through so many veils and mirrors. I still perform sessions upon myself with Divine Spirit as the healer, and enjoy experiencing a few others’ techniques as well. Still, I have found no one practicing my methods since the original mystery school I attended in 1996 -1997 disbanded, many years ago.
I have immensely enjoyed describing my experience in healing using the map of the human chakra system. For those of you that have read this entire set of chakra articles, accept my thanks for your interest.
I invite you to write or text me to set up a free telephone consultation for more information on my energy healing work. I have found that writing on this subject is something I thoroughly enjoy, and hope that you will revisit this site in the future, both to refresh your understanding of these subjects for more articles that may appear.
