Chakra Issues: 7th
Patreon 2.28.23
Now we switch to a different application for the chakra system, that of diagnosis. So let’s talk about diagnosis for a minute. Diagnosis is a gift, on the one hand, and a curse, on the other.
When anyone has a collection of uncomfortable symptoms, having a name for them — a diagnosis — can feel like a relief. That’s the gift, a certain reverse peace of mind. The logic goes like this: at least if I know what this is, I also know what it isn’t. This is what makes us say, “My …”
That “my,” whilst comforting is also limiting. That little word “my” changes everything. With that one notion, we own our disease. Do you really wish to own your … whatever symptoms might be yours? Probably not.
That said, we’ll continue with the Main Issues and Challenges for the Violet Crown Chakra.
Bear in mind that these are general, and that they can affect you on four levels of your being: Body, Heart, Mind, or/and Spirit.
The main issues of this seventh chakra are:
Faith
Selflessness
Spirituality
To connect with the Divine
Rather than detail each one, think a minute, Beloved. Are there areas of your life wherein you wonder about your faith in both yourself and your faith in life? About your abilities to be selfless? About your spiritual nature? Where you’re longing for a connection with the Divine but you’re not sure you’d even recognize it when it arrives? Where, essentially, spirituality done in a less-than-healthy way, compromises your integrity — your own wholeness?
Those are seventh chakra issues, and need addressing as soon as you can because these issues are the measure of how clear you are about your place in the Cosmos. (Hint: If you’re here, we need you.)
Two aspects of these issues tend to be sticklers. First, your level of selflessness. Such a misunderstood attribute. It means how much you relate your own experience to that of those around you, not whether you’re Mother Teresa or not. Taking care of others first, as so many of us have learned, misses the point. Unless we, the caretakers, take care of ourselves, we’re on a path of incapacity. Maybe not today, but soon enough. Charity, another word for care, Beloved, has to begin at home. The second is learning how to access your inherent connection to That Which Is Bigger Than You. It’s knowing, as well as you know your own face in the mirror, that you belong here, and that you are as surely a spiritual being as you are a physical one.
If you’re concerned that you have seventh chakra issues, the first, easiest, and simplest thing you can do is make sure you can see a rich violet in your world at all times. [Origami paper works well for this.]
Or, you can wear just such a violet.
Or, you can imagine a brilliant violet light treatment of the water you drink, and take it in that way.
Give it three days of “violet” treatment. Do you feel better? Differently? Good. It’s working. Keep at it.
Tomorrow we’ll have a look at the main issues/challenges of the Rose Thymus Chakra. Have a magical week.
