The Crown Chakra is the 9th major chakra. It is situated on the top of the head. It is represented by a thousand-petal lots that stems from the centre point on the top of our head.
The symbol of the thousand-petal lotus represents Divinity – gentleness, compassion, peace, empathy and above all the beauty of life, even though at times it may seem murky, dark and difficult. A lotus blooms in muddy waters, and we too on our journey through trials, tribulations and lessons bloom in time. With every lesson a petal unfurls. With every victory many more petals unfurl.
The Stem of the lotus runs through the centre of the body with roots protecting the Earth Star Chakra. It connects all the chakras, and yet allows each to function independently of each other, so that we keep learning at varied levels, we keep evolving.
The lotus is the umbrella that protects us from negativity and filters out all grime and filth from around. It is the cradle of our innocence; our soul and spirit. It is where prayers are whispered in silence and spirituality is the guidance. It is the playground of mediation and liberation from all bondages and attachments.
