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.
