The Seventh Chakra
The Seventh Chakra
CREATIVITY, VISIONARY, INSPIRATION
The Seventh Chakra , violet uncovers the creativity and artistic talent within each of us. It purifies our thoughts and feelings inspiring us in all aspects of our lives. This radiant vibration connects us to our spiritual self-strengthening our wisdom, guidance and inner strength. Violet is an immensely strong color and is not recommended for everyone; Leonardo da Vinci used it to meditate upon and Beethoven had violet curtains in his window.
On a metaphysical level it is the particle-wave, those substances, such as white light, that display characteristics of both mater (particles) and energy (wave-forms). On the astral plane it is spirit energy – the divine essence of the soul that connects us to the cosmos and to the creator.
On an esoteric and philosophical level it can be viewed as acting force behind universal will of Karma – the flow of energy that keeps the universe in balance.
Sol – The Sun is the focal point of Western astrology for a reason; it signifies who we are, Not just our personal identities, but everyone’s identity within the cosmic plan. It is the point from which the soul (sol) enters the body and it’s astrological placement indicates why it chose to be born. The sun’s radiant energy and gravitational pull are the focus that created our solar system, set it in motion, gave it life and sustain it. Just as the moon revolves around our home, the earth, like all things in this galaxy, revolves around the Sun
