Soul Star 8th Chakra, Higher Self, Awareness, Consciousness
What is the soul star chakra (often called the 8th chakra) and what does it have do with our consciousness awareness, our higher consciousness?
The Gift Of Early Waking
I awoke in the early hours of this morning, just after 4am, as I often do. In the past I would become agitated if I couldn’t return to sleep, fretting about ‘not getting enough sleep’.
But now I take these early morning waking hours as a gift, a chance to just lie and be with myself. A chance to allow my soul, my consciousness, to wander freely in the realms of the spirit. I often meditate during these wee hours of the morning, going deep inside myself to find some of the answers I am seeking.
We Are A Soul With A Body
From the many books and youtube videos I have watched, I have become aware that we are not a body with a soul, but rather a soul with a body. When I first came across this concept, it fascinated me, but it also struck some chord deep in my body that said ‘there is truth in this, pay attention’, it resonated with me.
In the last year I have become aware, within myself, that we do not live in our physical body or in our physical mind, but rather dwell outside it, connected to it, but not actually in it. Our consciousness (the ‘I’ in ‘I Am’) rests somewhere in the space approximately 6-12 inches above our heads. The physical body is the ‘me’ that we think we are, but the ‘I’ is where we truly are. The ‘I’ that is our consciousness, that is aware of our mind thinking our thoughts, the ‘I’ that is the watcher of these thoughts.
Have you ever asked yourself “what made me think of that” or, as a thought comes into your mind say “where did that come from”? Who is it that is doing the asking and who are they asking?
When you become aware of this process, become conscious of every thought that comes into your mind, you will begin to see that there is a watching awareness inside you, watching these thoughts come in and leave. This awareness is the real you, you are this awareness and not the thoughts themselves, which are merely creations of your physical mind.
Conscious Awareness
This morning, as I lay comfortably at rest in bed, I allowed my conscious awareness to rise out of my physical mind and come to rest somewhere above and slightly behind the crown of my head. It – ‘I’ dwelled there and watched various thoughts float through my mind. It/I did not engage with any of them, merely watched them come in and leave again. Sometimes a thought would trigger an emotional response and then my awareness would drop down back into my head and try to attach itself to the thought. I realised that this was how my mind tries to regain the number one spot in my being, by sending in emotionally resonant thoughts (bad or good) and try to hook ‘I’ into attaching to them.
I have had this sensation/knowing of conscious awareness many times, of being the I that dwelled in the energy field outside the physical body. But never this vividly, never this solidly felt. It was a wonderful experience, full of peace, a sense of being at rest, at home, That this is my true home.
The 8th Chakra Soul Star
What is our 8th chakra, also known as Soul Star chakra?
Your soul star chakra is located approximately 6-12 inches above your crown chakra (on the crown of your head). Contained within this 8th chakra is your connection with source/creation/God and is where your higher self resides. It contains the wisdom and knowledge of all your past lifetimes and also the conscious and subconscious experiences of your current lifetime.
When you connect with your high self you feel closer to your source, your creation, God and this connection can bring a deep sense of peace, love, oneness with universe, oneness with other people, oneness with all that is. It can also allow you to find your purpose in life, your soul purpose and the reason why you are on this planet and living this life at this time.
Your soul star chakra is the bridge between you and the everything that is. I personally feel that it is our connection to God, the principle and law of creation itself.
Connecting With Your Higher Self
When you connect with this chakra, you connect with your higher self, that self that can see all that was, is, will be. It can bring you an immense sense of being loved and supported, clear seeing of your purpose, where you are going, a knowing of your soul purpose.
This connection with higher self gives you a deeper understanding of your life and of life in general. Your life can become more meaningful and your path forward can become clear.
Without connection to our higher self, we can only see things from within the limits of our physical mind. This limited seeking will only allow us to make limited decisions and is often biased by the dictates of this material world, media, peer pressure, those with power and authority. It’s limited.
When you are faced with life challenges, your higher self can see the bigger picture. The limited mind is like a chicken running around on the ground, seeing things from a chicken’s perspective. The higher self is the eagle soaring above, looking down at the chicken and also able to see for miles around. Higher self can see where the root cause of your challenges lie and can also see ahead to where the solution can be found. These clear seeing higher perspectives are far out of the reach of the physical mind.
Activate Your Soul Star Chakra
Those of you who are used to meditating will find this easier than those who are not. But even to the novice, this is something that becomes easier with practice. It may take some time but it is worth it.
- Find a quiet place where you can sit or lie comfortably and not be disturbed,
- Close you eyes and take long deep slow breaths in and out, making your out-breath at least 50% longer than your in-breath,
- Bring your awareness to the slow rise and fall of your chest, feel the air gently enter and leave your lungs, the sensation of the air as it passes your lips,
- Bring awareness to all the muscles in your body, from head, to fingers, to toes, allowing each muscle to relax and loosen and fall,
- Now bring your awareness to the crown of your head and imagine a ball of luminescent white light resting there,
- Allow this ball of light to rise above your head and sit 6-12 inches above,
- Imagine this light getting stronger and brighter,
- Imagine the light opening up to reveal a radiant centre full of beauty and power,
- Then, quietly in your mind, ask to connect to your higher self and feel yourself being pulled up into the ball of light.
When all 7 body chakras are in alignment and flowing freely, you will find it easy to access your 8th chakra. Chakra energy healing can help unblock and balance your chakras and open your soul star chakra. It may take days and sometimes weeks to start to feel the benefits of a chakra clearing treatment. You will start to notice small changes at first but these subtle shifts in your energy will increase over time.
At this point your experience will become personal to you.
I like to keep these experiences to to myself.
I have found that, when I try to tell someone, to explain it, the sense of connection is lost. It seems to be lost in the telling, so my advice is to keep it as a beautiful experience between your and yourself.
I wish you much love and light, Geraldine
