Category: Chakras
Posted by: tinabensman
Are you there Higher Self? It's me, your lower self!
Being able to access your true purpose, talk to the god of your choice and having a clear head are all signs of a balanced 7th chakra. A chakra is an area where particular frequencies gather. The part of your body that collects the seventh chakra's choice of energy is located immediately above your head, where a crown would sit (hence the nickname - crown chakra.)
Ok, so now you're surviving (1st chakra), you're comfortable with your emotions (2nd chakra), you've accessed your personal power (3rd chakra) you are completely compassionate (4th chakra) you can express yourself freely (5th chakra), and you can now perceive neutrally (6th chakra) a connection to your true purpose can be manifested.
We all have one! Do you know what it is? With a balanced 7th chakra, your reason for coming to the earth is accessible to you. You know why you're here, and you know how to take advantage of your abilities to fully express, learn and grow into a more evolved being.
For some people these are two seperate entities. For others, they are the same being. Whatever you believe, a balanced seventh chakra allows you to fully connect with your higher self, God or any higher being that you believe in. This makes the answers to your questions readily available, miracle healing possible and the feeling of unconditional love a constant part of your life.
Remember that a chakra is an area were certain types of frequencies gather. All things in this world have a measurable frequency. That includes material objects as well as unseen things like thoughts and feelings. The 7th chakra attracts and is attracted to frequencies around 480Hz. This means that anything that resonates with that frequency, and that you accept as true, will influence the area of the seventh chakra.
If your seventh chakra is overstimulated you may be overly spiritual and not paying attention to your body. Remember, we are on this earth to learn something and the body is the vehicle we use to get there. While it is important to access your spiritual side, neglecting your bodies needs will make it nearly impossible to get anything accomplished for your spirit. Another way the 7th chakra can be overstimulated is through intelligence. You can over intellectualize everything you come across instead of being neutral.
An understimulated seventh chakra may result in confusion, slow thinking, poor cognition or the inability to learn new things. The connection with anything spiritual may not be a priority or even something you believe it. You may be completely in your body and not accept anything that you can't experience with your 5 senses.
Because everything has a frequency and frequencies are influenced by what's around them, if your energy is unbalanced, the results can show up physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Here are some issues you may have if your 7th chakra is unbalanced:
Headaches
Anxiety/Worry
Psychic Attack
Mental/Cognitive Issues
Schizophrenia
Immune Disorders
Balancing your 7th chakra will allow you to have a stronger connection with your Higher Self and the spirit world. Some easy ways to balance your seventh chakra are found below.
Instead of 'Dear Abby' or other popular advice columns, practice asking yourself when you need guidance. You might think it's silly or not real, but do it anyway. When you're going through a questionable situation, relax your body and mind and simply ask the question to Your Higher Self, God, or any other spiritual being you believe in. You might get an answer right away, it might come to you later as inspiration, or the situation could just reveal itself as you're working through it. The more you practice, the more clear the answers will be.
We spend so much time honoring our bodies by keeping them clean, dressing them, exercising, eating, etc., but there is a lack of time spent on your spirit. Meditate, honor and spend time listening to your spiritual side. Your body is only half of your entire self. Devote time to the other half of yourself.
There are many practitioners that specialize in balancing chakras if you're having trouble doing it yourself. Do a search for "energy healers" in your area to find one. If you're in the Madison, WI area, I work through intense energy issues using vibrational energy healing. I can shift the energy of your system and basically give you a clean slate.

Crystals and gemstones each resonate at different frequencies depending on their connection with the earth and where they came from. In general, violet or clear stones are great for balancing the seventh chakra. However, I suggest when you're looking for a stone to work with you, don't go by the books. Feel your way to the perfect stone for you. Set an intention in your mind as to what you want to work on. Then hold or put your hand over the stones you're choosing from one at a time. One of them will stand out to you, and that's the one you should pick. After awhile your energy may shift, and then at this time find another stone that matches what you need.
