The Crown Chakra.
Known in Sanskrit as Sahasrara, the thousand-petaled lotus.
The 7th energy center. Located at the very top of the head.
Sahasrara governs your connection to the divine, to cosmic consciousness, to the vast, luminous intelligence that moves through all things. When it is open, the boundaries of the separate self begin to dissolve. In their place arises a profound sense of unity, of belonging to something infinitely larger than the personal story.
In the Tantric tradition of the Sat-Chakra-Nirupana, Sahasrara is depicted as a thousand-petaled lotus blazing above the crown of the head. Beyond the body, beyond the mind. The seat of pure consciousness itself.
Seed Syllable: AH
The sound of pure openness. Held in stillness or chanted softly to dissolve the boundary between the personal and the universal and open the crown to the infinite descent of divine light.
Color: Violet, White & Gold
Violet, the highest frequency of the visible spectrum. The color of spiritual refinement and the soul approaching its own luminous nature.
White, the pure, undivided light of consciousness before it refracts into the colors of the world.
Gold, the divine ray descending into form. The color of the sacred and the eternal.
Mantra: Om Sahasraraya Namah
An offering of reverence to the thousand-petaled lotus. To the divine consciousness that is your deepest nature and your most luminous inheritance.
Mudra: Sahasrara Mudra
The hands open and lifted overhead, palms facing the sky. Receiving the descent of divine light and offering the self upward into the vast, open field of pure consciousness. The gesture of the thousand petals.
Tarot: The World (XXI)
The archetype of completion, integration, and the soul's arrival at the fullness of its own nature. Paul Foster Case connected The World to Saturn, to the great cosmic dance of the self that has passed through every initiation and arrived, at last, at wholeness.

Uranus, the sudden, liberating awakening that dissolves the structures of the old self and opens the crown to the lightning bolt of cosmic consciousness.

Stones of the crown chakra are typically violet, clear, or white. They carry the refined, luminous frequency of pure consciousness and the divine light that descends through the crown into the whole of the human system.
You are connected. You are held in the light of something vast and loving. The divine moves through you, and you are never separate from the source.
