Energy System Guide

7th Chakra: Sahasrara

(Integration, Deep Joy, Thoughtless

Awareness, Union with the Divine)

Location: In the brain’s limbic system.

Vibrations: Sahasrara vibrations are felt in the center of

the palm.

Associated Element: Sahasrara is not associated with any

one element, as elements are corporeal and the Spirit,

which is the ultimate manifestation of the Sahasrara,

is not.

Associated Color: White. May reflect the ultimate

aspiration of the human condition from an

evolutionary perspective — purity is its highest

manifest form.

Physiology/physical regions governed: Sahasrara governs

the brain

Essential Qualities:

• integration, oneness with the collective

consciousness

• deep joy or bliss

• peacefulness

• spirituality, union with the divine

• the state of thoughtless awareness

• doubtless awareness or lack of doubt

The primary quality of the Sahasrara chakra is

integration and a sense of oneness with all elements of

the universe. It is through Sahasrara that we experience

the connection to the all-pervading divine energy, to

the absolute truth. Sahasrara represents our ultimate

destination, the absolute realization of heaven on earth.

We cannot fully understand the meaning and purpose

of our lives until we are connected to the power that

created us.

Nourishing and balancing Sahasrara improves the

following personality and character strengths…

Character Strengths

• spirituality, including both the private, intimate

relationship between an individual and the divine,

as well as the range of character strengths that may

result from that relationship

• self-respect

Personality Trait Strengths

• inner-directedness/self-directedness (self-

determination, autonomy, reliable, purposeful)

• self-transcendence, self-actualization, self-

realization, self-forgetfulness (enlightened second

nature, spiritual acceptance, strong desire to

spiritually evolve, altruistic acts, helping others

acquire pure knowledge and self-awareness)

• appreciation of beauty and excellence (awe,

wonder, elevation), including renewed

appreciation for life’s daily gifts; deep

appreciation for the richness, uniqueness,

goodness and interconnectedness of all the

elements

Benefits

Sahasrara is the chakra of integration, the ultimate

gateway through which Sahaja is actualized. It

is through Sahasrara that we achieve the state of

thoughtless awareness, which yields the most powerful

benefits of meditation or yoga. Thoughtless awareness

is enabled by the Agnya chakra, but it is the Sahasrara

chakra that sustains it. Thoughtless awareness results

when the Kundalini energy crosses the Agnya chakra

and rises into the Sahasrara to achieve a connection

to the universal consciousness. It is only when the

Kundalini rises into the Sahasrara that we are able to

sustain the state of thoughtless awareness.

As the Kundalini energy rises, it penetrates each of the

other six chakras, ultimately entering the Sahasrara

chakra in the limbic region of the brain. Sahasrara is

represented by a hollow space in which the other six

main chakras can assemble. This space is believed to

have one thousand nerves extending from its periphery.

When the Kudalini energy enters this chakra, these

nerves are enlightened, which can be visualized as a

sea of gentle flames that reflect all the colors of the

rainbow. This energy then pierces the crown of the

head (the area known as the fontanel during infancy)

and unites with the all-pervading divine energy — the

collective consciousness of the universe.

When the Kundalini energy pierces the fontanel area,

it opens a gateway into the cosmos — ultimately into

Enlightenment. As the energy connects your individual

consciousness (soul or atma) to the universal

consciousness (divine power or paramatma), you

are suddenly tuned in to the universal wavelength of

vibrations, which you may experience, physically, as a

powerful pulsation in the crown of your head, fingers

and toes, followed by a melting sensation and a flow

of cool vibrations from the fontanel area (the crown of

your head).

As the Kundalini energy rises and enters the Sahasrara,

Self-Realization occurs. We enter a new dimension

of consciousness that extends beyond the relative to

the absolute. We are able to perceive absolute truth.

We rise above the past, present and future into a

timeless state and experience the pure joy and bliss

of the divine, a unique sensation that most of us

have likely never experienced before. This threefold,

simultaneous integration of enlightened attention,

truth and joy is the ultimate outcome of human

spiritual enlightenment (referred to s Satchitanand, a

much sought-after state of enlightenment according to

ancient Sanskrit scriptures).

This awareness also manifests as a tangible ongoing

sensory perception, which we can experience,

physically, in the form of vibrations whenever we

need to distinguish good from bad, right from wrong,

truth from falsehood. As our human awareness is

united with the divine, we move into the subtlest level

of communication, into collective consciousness.

In becoming vessels for that universal power, we

become one with all other vessels. Every element in

the universe emits vibrations, and through vibrations,

we learn to appreciate the true depth and beauty of the

world around us, including art, nature, other human

beings — the possibilities are infinite. We no longer

have to judge subjectively; we can judge by vibrations.

We are freed from biases, conditionings and the ego-

driven pridefulness.

We’ve all developed a moral code that requires us to

constantly measure emerging situations against our

values. But this new dimension of awareness that we

achieve through Sahasrara tells us instantly, through

our vibrations, what is morally correct. We are able

to simply ask the question we’re seeking an answer

to and the answer comes in the form of a flow of cool

vibrations. This subtle state is conversation at its most

sublime.

Establishing a connection to the universal

consciousness through Sahasrara helps us balance the

flow and pace of our lives. Often, we find that it as if we

are simply being carried along by this powerful natural

energy force and that the outcomes we desire seem to

happen near-effortlessly. It becomes easier to balance

all the aspects of our lives — work, family, health,

recreation and spirituality. Our self-awareness reaches

a whole new level of sensitivity. We’re able to instantly

recognize when rebalancing is required and make the

necessary adjustments. It is through Sahasrara that we

are able to realize that our inner Self or Spirit — all our

mental, emotional, physical and spiritual qualities —

are in perfect unison and perfect alignment with each

other.

Over time, as we meditate with enlightened attention,

we are able to perceive the divine and cease to have

doubts about its existence; we are no longer required

to accept it merely on faith. This ultimately results in a

state of existence known as doubtless awareness — we

are both aware of, and in no doubt of, the existence of

the divine. Doubtless awareness tends to develop and

strengthen progressively through continued Sahaja

meditation.

Because all the chakras are integrated in Sahasrara

when the Kundalini energy enters this chakra,

our physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual

beings become one, and act in perfect harmony.

Contradictions and confusions melt away and we can

lead a fully righteous life. We experience complete

inner calm. We become complete, joyful personalities

who do not succumb to temptations and are not

swayed by the manipulative influences of the ego and

superego. The awareness of the absolute truth becomes

a light that nourishes and guides us in our daily lives.

Ultimately, it is an eternal light that can encompass the

entire world, and you can see the whole world reflected

within yourself.
