Crown Chakra
The
crown chakra relates to consciousness as pure awareness. It is our connection
to the greater world beyond to a timeless, space less place of all knowing.
When developed this chakra brings us knowledge, wisdom, understanding,
spiritual connection and bliss. The crown chakra represents the underlying
consciousness that is the basic operating principle in all of the chakras.
