Restoration of the chakras

Centuries-old Indian practice has shown that stones and minerals have a strong effect on the work of the chakras. At the same time, certain stones are suitable for each chakra.

The main chakra stones are several healing stones and minerals. They have the most powerful impact.

In addition to them, there is a whole group of energetically active stones, with the help of which procedures are carried out for cleansing and restoring the normal functioning of the chakras.

All healing stones are listed below - for each chakra.

If the chakra is not sufficiently supplied with energy, then this always leads to physiological and psychological problems. The energy balance in the body is disturbed, general malaise is felt, diseases appear. Such an unhealthy state is helped to remove healing stones, which are created by nature and charged with a certain energy. During the chakra cleansing procedure, the stones give off their energy through vibrations, and take on all the negative.

If you work with stones for cleansing and restoring chakras, it is necessary to carry out the stone cleaning procedure in time - after each use, the mineral must be cleaned of negative energy and charged with positive. The strength of the effect of the stone on your body depends on how correctly the cleaning will be carried out.

2. talismans and decorations;
3. stone massage;
4. charging water with stones;
5. stone for the night.

It is known that stones have certain vibrations and their own unique configuration of subtle bodies. By placing a precious or semi-precious stone at the active point of a person's energy (chakra), the energy field begins to change under the influence of the stone's field. Direct contact of a person with a stone allows you to change the vibrations of cells and energy fields. Meditation is the deepest form of communication with the stone. Use basic chakra stones while meditating. The easiest way is to hold the stone in your palms in front of a specific chakra. Meditation time - no more than 15-20 minutes.

2. solar plexus chakra - belts;
3. heart chakra - pendants;
4. throat chakra - necklaces.

Bracelets on the wrists are a universal decoration that affects all chakras, so they can be worn at all times. If you wear a bracelet on your left hand, the main effect of the stone will be directed to the person himself. If on the right hand - on the people around him.

To activate the chakra and remove the blockage, a massage is done using healing stones. Stroking the energy centers should be soft and safe. To amplify the impulses, you need to lightly tap the stones on a hard surface. During the massage, the stones of the chakras are slightly heated in warm water.

The healing water charged with precious and semi-precious stones helps to cleanse the chakras. To charge water with healing stones, it is necessary to use not ordinary dishes, but a separate thicket purchased specifically for this procedure (preferably made of glass). A ceramic and porcelain bowl is also suitable. The stone is poured with purified (preferably spring) water and left overnight. If you admire a crystal in a glass bowl of water for half an hour, you can quickly relieve stress and headaches - this process also has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the chakras. Charged water is drunk in the morning, washed with it, wiped with energy centers.

This is the highest level of enlightenment, the deepest level of love for everything that exists in the universe.

How to work with stones:

Why did emperors and other crowned persons wear crowns adorned with precious stones? The obvious answer is for majestic beauty and confirmation of your high status. The non-obvious answer is to clear and restore the Crown (crown) chakra. Most likely, they did it purely intuitively.

The crown chakra includes a person in the energy of the planet and the Universe, controls his thoughts and actions. Purple, golden and white stones, carefully selected, charged and properly tuned, are able to open the parietal chakra, change consciousness, thoughts and actions.

It is not necessary to wear a crown to work with Crown Chakra stones. It is enough to put a stone on the top of your head during meditation. It is quite difficult to hold it in the palms above the head during meditation - the hands get tired. But if you are well developed physically, then this is ideal, since the chakra is located just above the top of the head. You can also place the stone in front of you at a close distance exactly at the level of the Crown Chakra. You can put a stone at night on a pillow over the parietal part of the head.

Decorations and talismans:

To develop the Crown Chakra, wear a ring with a suitable stone on your thumb - the finger projection of the Crown Chakra (Sahasrara). If you often wear a ring with rock crystal, amethyst and other chakra stone on your thumb, this will have the most beneficial effect on consciousness, increase energy in the crown center.

Vishuddha is the fifth chakra, which, like a bridge, takes a person to higher levels of consciousness. It is associated with communication and creativity, and because of its location, it is also called the throat chakra. In this article I will tell you what the vishuddha chakra is responsible for, what are its manifestations on the human physical body.

Translated from the ancient Sanskrit language, vishuddha means "purification." Ether is considered the element of the fifth chakra. 4 lower elements - Earth, Water, Fire and Air - are purified here to a substance of a higher plane, which dissolves in Ether.

According to the Hindu tradition, the movement of the primary elements occurs as follows:

• the element of the Earth (root chakra) dissolves into the element of Water (sacral chakra) - while a person gains the ability to smell;
• the element of Water is transformed by the element of Fire (associated with the solar plexus chakra), which turns into steam - while the person begins to feel the taste at the level;
• the element of Fire rises higher and connects with the element of Air (heart chakra), setting it in motion - then the person begins to experience tactile sensations;
• finally, the element of Air rises to the throat chakra and is completely cleared in the Ether, while hearing becomes available to a person.

Blue is associated with the fifth chakra. The image is a circle containing 16 blue petals. Each petal has one Sanskrit letter written on it, which symbolizes the positive qualities inherent in the chakra.

Inside the large circle is a triangle pointing down. And inside the triangle is a small circle, which is a symbol of the Moon and Ether.

What is Ether? It is a single field of subtle vibrations. To connect with this element, it is important:

1. spend some time alone and in silence, so as not to clog your auditory perception with various “tinsel” (constantly playing music, the sound of a working TV, etc.);
2. communication, because without it a person feels lonely and withdraws into himself, while communication must be positive and sincere, otherwise the energy flow of the throat chakra will be limited.

Location of vishuddhi and its meaning

Find out where the throat chakra is located. In the photo below you will see that it is located at the base of the neck.

The bottomless radiance of heaven, the feeling of magnificent freedom, the inspiring symphony of the heart, which blurs the line between the earthly and the Divine, the gentle music of the soul.

All this is a unique blue chakra - a symbol of purity, a unique lotus flower that blossomed at the morning dawn and absorbed everything beautiful and perfect.

Through the throat chakra we express our thoughts, bring our best ideas to life. Through it comes the acceptance of life as it is.

Vishuddha is insight, seeing the very essence without illusions, creative ecstasy. The revelation of the most beautiful thing that is in a person - creative abilities, creation for the good in Divine Love.

The fifth chakra, pale blue in color, is the engine of human talents. With its help, the best music, poems and paintings are written.

It gives the works of art that “zest” that makes the creations ingenious. Vishuddha is a surge of energies, an overunderstanding of meanings, the disclosure of one's true self.

The throat chakra is responsible for:

• inspiration;
• moral beauty, the beauty of thoughts and speech;
• honesty;
• manifestation of oneself as a person;
• cleansing - purity of thoughts;
• communication with other people, one's own "I" and the forces of the Universe;
• expression of thoughts and ideas through creativity;
• hearing - external and internal.

It is with the help of vishuddha that a person can get in touch with the Higher powers or open a channel for receiving universal information.

It also allows a person to see what is happening inside him. Through it we express what is happening in our soul. Tears, laughter, joy and love are all the fifth chakra.

Vishuddha is the lowest of the three upper chakras. 5 chakra - there is a heavenly gate to another world, where time and space no longer have power over us.

Through the “Divine Eloquence” bestowed by the throat chakra, we are able to go beyond any external restrictions and unite the spiritual and material worlds in our essence.

How does a healthy chakra work?

A harmonious throat chakra makes a person confident in himself and his abilities. He is not afraid to make mistakes and does not adapt to those around him, changing his opinion to suit them.

He is not afraid of obstacles - this person evaluates the situation from the point of view of universal laws, and from each, even the most difficult case, he gains invaluable experience.

To move forward not for the sake of achieving the goal, but for the sake of the path itself - this is the true meaning that opens up to the owner of a well-developed vishuddha chakra. For him, both the material and the spiritual are equally valuable.

Such people serve for the benefit of others. They are interested in self-knowledge, knowledge of the world and the laws of the universe. What this person has learned or felt, he expresses through creativity.

Often, for no apparent reason, such talents are discovered in a person that he did not even think about - poems flow like water or beautiful works of painting with amazing stories are created. This is the work of open vishuddha.

These people, as a rule, do not require any praise for their work - they enjoy creating for the benefit of others.

When the fifth chakra is fully open, people not only freely communicate with their own kind, but also know how to listen to themselves and their own body - they are able to control their thoughts, changing negative thinking to positive.

Shifting responsibility to others for what they have done or their lives is not in the habits of people with a healthy blue chakra. They are well aware that they are the creators of their own destiny.

They are looking for answers to all emerging questions not in the outside world, but inside themselves, realizing that they are an integral part of the Universe, the wisdom of which is used with amazing ease.

A person’s thoughts and his words are a strong energy that is directly related to the quality of our life and health.

People whose 5th chakra works correctly freely control their emotions, preventing the most destructive ones from manifesting themselves - anger, resentment, envy, jealousy and anger, turning them for their own good, transforming their manifestations into unconditional love.

They live not according to the dictates of the mind, but according to the inclination of their heart. Listening absolutely calmly to what others say, they remain at their point of view. They are not ashamed of what they think, however, they do not seek to impose their opinion on others, respecting the freedom of choice of everyone.

Throat chakra imbalance

First of all, people with blocked vishuddha are dissatisfied with the world around them and the attitude of other people towards them. It always seems to them that they are being treated unfairly, they try to blame everyone and everything for their troubles and misfortunes. Depression and depression are the essence of people with a diseased chakra.

Such people are complete zeros in creativity. Not knowing how to create anything themselves, they criticize the creations of others. The beauty of the magical playing of the violin is inaccessible to them, “stupid verses” do not inspire them either, and hatred for those who do good for others knows no bounds.

Pride causes these people to exalt themselves, belittling others. They can't properly express what they're thinking. And negative emotions, such as envy and resentment, splash out over the edge, complicating an already unenviable life, and hardening it even more.

A person whose fifth chakra is blocked cannot express himself in anything. The only thing that is available to him is to throw mud at those who create and create. By humiliating others, he exceeds his own importance. It is easier to belittle, to prick more painfully than to create something.

Problems in communicating with other people and with oneself are the main sign of an unbalanced chakra. A person is not only afraid of life, but also experiences the strongest fear, remaining alone with himself.

He tries to draw attention to his person, imposing his opinion on others. His ego is great. In everything, such a person seeks only profit - to go over the heads of others for him in order to achieve any goal is as easy as shelling pears.

Winding up the non-existent, sucking problems out of the finger, as well as insincerity in everything are characteristic of individuals with a sick vishuddha. Melancholy and annoyance, disappointment and dissatisfaction with life are constant companions of the closed 5th chakra.

Such people often have problems with the speech apparatus, the result of which is stuttering. For them, there is no golden mean - they are either overly talkative or withdrawn into themselves. Roughness and harshness, cruelty and aggression are common manifestations of chakra blockage.

The owners of unhealthy vishuddhi hear only what is convenient for them to hear, distorting everything that happens in their favor.

They are not able to see their inner world, and even more so, to determine their true life purpose. If the universal laws were revealed to them, then such a person will never dare to implement them in his life.

Alcoholism, drug addiction, suicide attempts, escape from reality, hatred of others and oneself, the thirst for violence and submission, the desire to destroy everything beautiful, self-doubt and fear of communication - these are the main aspects of the problems that were created by the disease of the Vishuddha chakra.

Vishuddha and the physical body

The throat chakra is responsible for the following organs of the physical body:

• ears, throat, nose;
• neck, vocal cords and thyroid gland;
• teeth and jaw;
• lungs (their upper part);
• arms and muscles.

Throat diseases - tonsillitis and bronchitis, rhinitis, sinusitis, including allergic rhinitis, sick teeth and weakened immunity, lung and ear diseases, poor hearing, stuttering, oral diseases and bad breath, thyroid diseases - these are just some of the physical problems that occur when the fifth chakra is blocked.

The most effective method of healing this chakra is to stay in nature for a long time and contemplate the beauty of the blue sky. Frequent visits to beautiful places will bring peace and tranquility, as well as fully open the beautiful blue chakra under the beautiful name of vishuddha.

Chakras, colors and minerals...

Chakra literally means "circle", "wheel" or "disk" in Sanskrit. In the context of yogic practices, this word is often translated as "whirlwind", which reflects the idea of ​​chakras as whirlwinds of psychic (cosmic, vital) energy - prana. As a synonym for the word "chakra" the word "padma" (lotus) is used.

In the yoga tradition, the chakras are associated with the nadi system (a kind of analogue of the circulatory system in which prana circulates). Nadis are the conductors of prana, while the chakras are the centers of its concentration and a kind of "relay", the process of "opening" or "purifying" which accompanies the stages of a person's spiritual development and bodily recovery.

Closely related to the chakras is the Tantric concept of Kundalini, whose "awakening" and "rise" through the chakras, from lower (Muladhara) to higher (Sahasrara), is accompanied by a radical spiritual evolution.

In addition to Hinduism, the concept of chakras is used in some systems of Buddhism and especially Tantra and yoga, in many modern occult systems, as well as in special symbolic images (chakra yantras). Chakras are also mentioned in Islam.

The concept of the existence of chakras is characteristic of traditional Indian medicine and some other types of non-traditional, alternative medicine (reflexology, acupuncture).

Chakras are multidimensional objects penetrating all the subtle bodies of a person, these are special structures of energy bodies, with the help of which the energy-information exchange of an individual with the environment and the accumulation of energy (prana) are realized.

Life is a circulation of energy, energy flows through the human body along energy lines (meridians), and is concentrated in energy centers - chakras. Chakras are a kind of accumulators and at the same time generators of Qi bioenergy of life. Each chakra corresponds to the energy of its order (its frequency) certain vibrations, such as color (wavelength) or the sound of a special mantra (frequency of sound vibrations).

The lower chakras (from the first to the third) resonate with the lower frequencies of the earth, and the upper (from the fourth to the seventh) respond to the high-frequency vibrations of the Cosmos. Thus, the human body is considered as an open system included in the common energy system "Earth-Man-Space".

There are seven main chakras, each of them is responsible for a certain area of ​​human life. Each chakra has its own color, and each chakra is associated with a certain part of our body, as well as certain characteristics and aspects of our life.

Chakras feed on the energy of colors that we see in our homes, in nature, food and clothing (including super-actively they perceive the energy of stones, minerals and crystals).

Color is one of the important natural and healing components that constantly affects us (lack of daytime color causes depression and increases the number of suicides, and chromotherapy is a treatment with color). White is the mixture of all colors in the visible spectrum, while black is the absence of any reflected color.

About black color you can readin our article "Selection of jewelry - advice from our designer" - link, and details aboutsymbolism of color - in our brochure.

Color affects almost everything in our lives - from the choice of clothes, interior design to mood. Realizing at least the psycho-emotional componentthis effect, you can lift your mood and thereby increase comfortof my life and for oneslightly improve the world as a whole.

You can purposefully use minerals that match the color of the chakras to open them. If you have a weak chakra and you feel a lack of energy in it, wear stones of the color corresponding to the chakra as jewelry for its gentle and non-violent opening.

This is a gentle, harmonizing and safe method of direct influence on the chakras, which you can safely practice on your own.

Ancient Indian medical texts speak of extremely important energy centers in the human body called chakras. Chakras are of paramount importance for human health and are one of the fundamental elements.
In Sanskrit, the word "chakra" means "wheel". Although initially this term denoted a variety of things, including the solar disk of the supreme god of Hinduism Vishnu and the universal law of being Buddha (dharma chakra), the tantric doctrine and Ayurveda limited the meaning of the word “chakra” to the following: “chakra is a kind of energy cycle through which the exchange of subtle energy between the physical and energy bodies.
A number of modern authors call the chakras "aura nodes" that receive and transmit cosmic energy and countless lower positive and negative energies emitted by a variety of sources: the environment, the collective mind, the home and work atmosphere.
Chakras located along the spinal column - from the perineum to the crown. In yoga and other schools, chakras are called psychophysiological centers in the “subtle body” of a person. Chakras are often, although not quite correctly, called "energy centers" that regulate our interaction with the outside world.
Traditionally, the chakras are described and depicted as a lotus flower that constantly rotates, which makes them look like a fiery wheel or disk, the color of which is different for each chakra. This is where the name "chakra" comes from. The chakras are connected to the physical body by subtle nerve channels called "nadis" and located in the astral body; they are not visible to the ordinary eye.

CHAKRAS AND ENDOCRINE GLANDS

Each person has many secondary chakras, while there are only seven main ones, and they are responsible for the energy balance of the aura. The main chakras are located along the line of the spinal column, connecting the lower (material) part of our body with the higher (spiritual). The endocrine glands are controlled and fed by some major
chakras. The work of the endocrine glands can be controlled by stimulating or slowing down their activity through the control or manipulation of the main chakras. Many diseases are partly caused by malfunctioning chakras.

SEVEN MAIN CHAKRAS

This chakra contains all the shades of the spectrum, but the white color predominates.
Its stones are moonstone, white onyx, pearls, white howlite, rock crystal.

Chakras and energy balance

The chakras are closely related and interact with many external factors. Some of them have a beneficial effect, others disrupt the work of the chakras and energy balance. Each chakra absorbs and emits a certain type of energy necessary for the functioning of the organs it controls.
Incorrect work of the chakras leads to failures in the transmission of energy: its flow decreases, becomes more lethargic and, in especially severe cases, dries up, which leads to dysfunction of the corresponding organs and, as a result, to a serious illness. When energy does not flow harmoniously through the chakras, or when one of the chakras is blocked or opened too wide, an imbalance occurs that manifests itself in all areas of life, including the functioning of the corresponding endocrine glands and metabolic disorders.

In the spiritual practices of Hinduism, the so-called chakras are considered as centers of power and consciousness located in the inner (subtle) bodies of a person. Different Indian sources indicate a different total number of chakras in a person, but seven are traditionally distinguished from this total: Mulandhara Chakra, Svadhisthana Chakra, Manipura Chakra, Anahata Chakra, Vishuddha Chakra, Ajna Chakra and Sahasrara Chakra. Let's consider each of them in more detail.

Muladhara Chakra is one of the most important energy structures of the body. It is in this place that the irreplaceable energy of the body is stored, which is called ojas. The canons say that as long as a person has not exhausted his ojas, he is not threatened by old age, numerous illnesses and death. We get ojas at the moment of conception. Ojas is actively used by the body only during fetal development and growth. Ojas is the basis of immunity (resistance of the body to diseases) and homeostasis (constancy of the internal environment). There is a nadi that connects the mooladhara chakra with the heart. Part of the ojas constantly circulates through this channel, ensuring the automatism of the heart muscle (the ability of the heart to contract autonomously). Ashta Hridaya Samhita says that with every heartbeat we lose a drop of ojas. When extreme circumstances arise, severe injuries and life-threatening illnesses, the body mobilizes all energy capabilities, including ojas. A decrease in ojas by two-thirds leads to old age. Its exhaustion causes death. The body constantly uses for its needs the energy received from external sources - light, air, food, etc. Any residual energy in a transmuted form enters the muladhara chakra. If in certain circumstances the reserves of this energy are not enough, then ojas is attracted. Thus, the muladhara chakra is a guarantee of the energy stability of the body. Therefore, it is associated with the primary element "earth". It is localized in the region of the coccyx.

Svadhisthana Chakra is the center of accumulation and transmutation of energy, which, like water, can take three states of aggregation: accumulate in the muladhara chakra (solid), be used during sexual intercourse (liquid) or transform into creative potential (gaseous). Therefore, the svadhisthana chakra is associated with the primary element “water”. In the first case, the accumulation of energy leads to the protection of ojas and the possibility of maintaining youth for a long time. But for this, the water must turn into ice. This means that one has to conquer sexual desires at the level of the mind. He must completely lose lust. This state can be achieved only as a result of a systematic, long-term development of spirituality, self-improvement, as well as the study of certain spiritual practices. Yogis and holy sages are examples of this.

In the second case, the energy provides mainly the process of conception and partially passes to the opposite sex. There is a kind of energy exchange between a man and a woman. In men, as a rule, pingala (yang nadi) dominates, and in women - ida (yin nadi). Sexual intercourse leads to the alignment of the work of the main nadis, however, at the cost of large energy losses. Imbalance of sexual relations, sexual perversions or too active sexual life lead to general energy exhaustion and excessive consumption of ojas with all the ensuing consequences.

In the third case, the energy is transformed into creative. To do this, a person must “burn” with some idea. Under the influence of fire, water boils and turns into steam. Any materialization of intellectual ideas, accompanied by inspiration and high activity, leads to the “boiling” of sexual energy. It flows through the sushumna to the upper chakras, which ensure the functioning of the cerebral cortex. People in this state tend to naturally reduce their sexual desires. If a person does not use and does not transmute his energy in one way or another, then the overload of the Svadhisthana Chakra leads to numerous diseases. This chakra is projected in the region of 4-5 lumbar vertebrae and spreads its influence mainly on the pelvic organs and kidneys.

Manipura Chakra transmutes and accumulates the energy received in the process of digestion and respiration. Under the action of certain enzymes of the stomach, pancreas and small intestine (jatar-agni - “digestive fire”), food is divided into the so-called “clear juice” and “turbid sediment”. The “transparent juice”, passing through the liver, turns into a race (blood plasma and lymph), and the “cloudy sediment” is excreted by the large intestine. Rasa, accumulating glucose and fatty acids, delivers them to all tissues of the body, where, under the action of oxygen, ATP is synthesized (the main energy substrate of the anatomical body). The remaining glucose is utilized in the form of glycogen by the liver and muscles or converted into fats. All these processes are under the control of the manipura chakra. The energy of this chakra provides all the physical activity of the body. It is the center of the primary element “fire” and governs all types of agni. In other words, it controls the entire kinetic energy of the organism. Manipura is located in the area of ​​the solar plexus.

Anahata Chakra- its energies are mainly connected with the activity of the heart. Man is an open biological system. He constantly exchanges various types of energy with objects of the surrounding world, including with other people. When we strive in our interaction with people to show benevolence, sincerity, and try not to harm, not to use violence either in thoughts, or in words, or in actions, we have the opportunity to develop the full potential of the anahata chakra. Hypocrisy, indifference, self-interest, immorality do not allow the lotus of the anahata-chakra to open and the fires of the heart to manifest. Each person needs to develop the high activity inherent in this chakra, which people call cordiality. But, unfortunately, in our age, people, especially city dwellers, communicate with each other at a very low, heartless level. Walking down the street or being in public transport, we do not perceive the people around us as individuals, so communication is often filled with lies, pride, indifference, hypocrisy, envy and anger.

Anahata chakra is closely connected with the cardiovascular system, and its reduced activity often leads to cardiological problems. However, if your interactions with people are built correctly, then you will always experience the joy of communication, not suffering. Since the sphere of communication is connected with the primary element “air”, the anahata chakra is considered the center of this element. It is projected in the region of 5-6 thoracic vertebrae, slightly to the right of the sternum.

Vishuddha Chakra sublimates the energy received when the sense organs come into contact with the outside world. Feelings are at the level of the “subtle” body, and in the physical body they have their own organs: eyes, ears, nose, skin and tongue. When the senses come into contact with objects: light, color, sound, smell, etc., the energy of external objects affects the energies of the body. It is this energy that accumulates in the Vishuddha Chakra. The energy received in the process of perceiving the surrounding world is no less important than the energy of breathing and digestion. Without this energy, the normal functioning of the neuroendocrine and information systems of the body is impossible, just as a computer cannot function without electrical energy. For example, when direct or reflected sunlight hits the retina of the eye, a complex biochemical process of converting light energy into energy of the nervous system takes place. Various types of art, manifested in society, are designed to harmonize a person through appropriate sensations. Thus, the manifestation of human creativity in all areas of life is very closely related to the activity of the vishuddha chakra. Since feelings are the main source of information for a person, the primary element “ether” has the strongest influence on this chakra.

Vishuddha Chakra is projected in the area of ​​the thyroid gland. On the one hand, it is associated with the sense organs and subcortical areas of the brain, and on the other hand, with the mental body (manas and indriyas).

Ajna chakra transmutes and accumulates energy, which contributes to the process of logical thinking (active analysis and synthesis of information). This center ensures the functioning of the cells of the cerebral cortex, which is the receiving device of the vigyana-sharira (human intellectual body). Ajna chakra receives energy through the subtle body and transmutes the kinetic energy of manipura, and with great mental stress, also the energy of svadhisthana. Some of the energy can be sublimated and used by the lower chakras. In other words, the process of thinking is also the source of the energy of the body. So, for example, many scientists during active mental work feel a great surge of strength.

Sahasrara Chakra refers to the so-called "egregor center". Egregor is a collective energy-informational field that unites various communities of people into a single system. There are egregors of a family, a city, a country, a nation, a political party, a religious school, a planet, and even the Universe. A person can be under the influence of several egregores at once. Every person constantly, whether he realizes it or not, serves a certain egregor, exchanging energy and information with him. The more time the egregor exists and the more people it unites, the greater its energy power. Becoming a follower of a certain spiritual and religious tradition, a person immediately receives the support and protection of the corresponding egregore. This energy is sublimated by the Sahasrara Chakra and provides the corresponding needs of the body. In the future, egregor requires a person to perform a specific service. At this stage, a person must not only take, but also give something in return. Energy support now depends on the efforts of the person. If he does not fulfill the tasks assigned to him, then the connection with the egregor will weaken. People who selflessly give themselves to the service of an egregore are in a constant energy-information flow, satisfying the needs of their body and mind. Abstract thinking, creativity, meditation and clairvoyance are associated with the functioning of the Sahasrara Chakra. Human contact with the higher forces of nature is impossible without opening this chakra.

The Sahasrara Chakra is projected in the region of the brahmarandra, the place of fusion of the two parietal and occipital bones (the opening of the large fontanelle). This chakra is more associated with the right hemisphere of the brain.

Each person has an individual degree of opening of the chakras and their relationship to each other, which makes up his individuality, his perception of the world of objects and people.
