Crown Chakra
Also known as: Cosmic Center, "I AM" Center, Sahasrara
Situated: Top of the head
Color: Violet
Parts of the body: This Chakra is associated with the top of the head, the brain, and the entire nervous system
Endocrine Gland: Pineal Gland
Sense: Sense of empathy, unity, experiencing anothers experience as if you were inside them, being them.
Awareness: The Crown Chakra represents that part of our awareness associated with perceptions of unity or separation. Just as the Root Chakra showed our connection with Mother Earth, this chakra shows our relationship with Our Father in Heaven. It represents our joining with our biological father, which becomes the model for our relationship with authority, and ultimately, with God. It's the level of the soul.
When we experiences a sense of separation from our father, we close the crown chakra, and experience a sense of isolation and aloneness, as if they are in a shell, and having difficulty with feeling contact with those around them. Thought processes tend to justify and maintain the sense of aloneness.
The view from this chakra includes seeing the Self as the single mind creating all, and paradoxically, thus joined to all, like a dreamer dreaming a dream and realizing that all that is perceived is just an extension of their own awareness.
Element: Inner Light, which is what we experiences when we are in the deepest part of our being, as a point of awareness glowing with intelligence.
Also called White Light. Metaphysically, this is considered the most subtle element of which the entire physical universe is created.
Brow Chakra
Also known as: Awareness Center, Third Eye, Ajna
Body Mind Associations:
Location: Center of the forehead
Color: Indigo, Midnight Blue
Parts of the body: This Chakra is associated with the forehead and temples, with the carotid plexus
Endocrine Gland: Pituitary Gland
Sense: Extra Sensory Perception, all of the inner senses corresponding to the outer senses, which together are considered spirit-to-spirit communication. These include, for example, clairvoyance (inner sense of vision), clairaudience (inner sense of hearing), clairsentience (inner sense of touch), etc.
Awareness: This Chakra is associated with the deep inner level of Being we call the Spirit, and with what we consider spirituality and the spiritual perspective, the point of view from that deeper part of our being that western traditions consider the subconscious or unconscious. It is the place where our true motivations are found, and is the level of awareness that directs our actions and, in fact, our lives.
It is also from this point of view that we see events in the physical world as the manifestation of co-creation among the Beings involved in those events.
Element: Inner Voiced, the noise we hear inside that is not affected by events outside. Often thought pathological by standard medicine, it is also seen by easterners as a necessary prerequisite to further spiritual growth.
