Speaker 1: Hi everyone, it's Amanda riger Green. Welcome to Soul Session. We're going to talk about the Crown chakra. I've been doing a series throughout all of the chakras, or at least the main seven chakras in the body, the root chakra through now the crown, and the crown is the more mystical and elusive. It's more difficult to communicate and describe the crown chakra functions through the other chakras and systems in the body. It's not a standale chakra. And yes, it stands alone like the others do with a cloud and I'll talk about it. But if you haven't explored the other chakras, and maybe you listen to this one first and then you go back through the other one, encourage you to do so. And especially when I start to explain this, I think you'll see the complexity yet beauty of the energetic systems in the body and how they function for you uniquely at divine being and a human being in the material world in multi dimensional reality. So the crown chakra, the crown chakra, of course in physical space, is located at the crown of your head, the top of your head, and as far as territory goes physical territory. The crown chakra is the smallness. When I was talking about the throat chakra, we know, I'm like, I love the throat chakra. I cover so much territory. It's the throat, it's the sea spine. It's the mouth. It's the teeth, it's the gums, it's the ears, it's the ear drums, it's the nostrils, it's the sinuses, it's your tongue. The crown chakra is just this little tiny point on the top of your head. It's small, it doesn't cover a tremendous amount of territory, yet it funnels in the entire universe, divine wisdom, everything that ever is, was, or will be, past, present, future, and filters them into three D reality. So it's fascinating that this small energetic center is what touches the entire universe, all of space and prime divine, the primordial connection with the universe, our connection to that. So it's pretty fascinating. So, yes, crownshracker at the top of the head. And the simplest way for me to conceptualize that is when babies are born and they have that soft spot on their crown, their literal skull that is not light formed yet that soft spot that's the crown, like right there, and I think it's called the front ont to. Now, when a baby is born, they come from inside this sacred place where they're not breathing air, and we come into the world and there are bright lights, synthetic lights, and there's air, and it's an adjustment with that part of a newborn that is still connected to divine, to infinite, to something that came from and was seeded from another place biologically, intelligently, blindly, uniquely. That's the ground shakra that in and of itself gives you the unique special nature of this chakra and why describing it or explaining it outside out of just the basic metaphysical terms, meaning yes, crown chakra, it connects us with the divine and divine intelligence multiple timelines, different timelines than reality, the universe God. But it also is this place in which we are able to not only associate higher consciousness, but it is this fountain of light and information that we integrated through our body, through our actual physical body and energetic systems. And in the metaphysical terms, yes, it can the color associated with the crown chakra is usually violet, or I think of my cround chakra when I come into that energy and I am focused in that place and space in my body more like divine white light, kind of like diamondy violity, white brilliant stardust is the way twinkling stardust, fairy dust. That's kind of a way that it comes through, or sometimes for me, it comes through in like beautiful gold tendrils that look like DNA, like a column of light through the top of the head. Those are the more traditional ways of conceptualized crown chakra. But one thing you can do just to debate that chakra, and you can do this with the third eye as well, is to just tap, to tap, take your index finger in your middle finger and gently, not knocking on your head like a woodpecker, but just tapping right there on that space in your head and debating it. And I'm doing that as we speak. So if you're watching on YouTube, I'm tapping. If you're listening and hear a little bit of reverb in the mic, I was tapping on my head. But that's an easy way to activate and bring awareness to that area physically. The crown chakra yes is associated with higher consciousness, spiritual insights, universal truth, expanded awareness. But the crown chakra, like I was saying, does not operate in isolation. The crown chakra receives, and that's what makes it stand out a little differently than the other chakras. Not unlike the third eye. The third eye also receives, but it pulls from the intelligence within. And if the third eye is like uploads, while the crown chakra is like downloads, I'm going to repeat that your third eye is like uploads from your cells, your DNA, your physiology, your body, your experience in this timeline, and maybe others, and the crown chakra is like doubt. And that word is used a lot and thrown a lot in spiritual teachings. And there is absolutely a difference, and it's a very nuanced difference. And the more not advanced to you get, the more committed in your consciousness, self awareness and personal and spiritual development, and the more connected you get to your soul, the easier it is to delineate a bit between the third eye and the crown. But the crown doesn't operate in isolation, and a healthy crown chakra needs to riskceieve and communicate through the other chakras in the body. So it needs the rest of the operating system to be functioning, balanced and in full force, open and fluid. And I'm going to go through the crown chakra and its communication with chakra, root, sacral, solar, plexus, heart, throat, and third bite and attributes of each healthy interactions and imbalances, blockages or shadows, and that will help you. And we are only touching the brilliance of what our bodies are able to do, the capabilities and the operating system, and the crown is your special gateway to filter that information, be able to express it, to complicit it. So the spiritual information you are downloading or receiving asks you to move it through your body, your emotions, your voice, your heart, your will, your nervous system, and then it comes in because otherwise the crown chakra is just like ether, so it gets translated or communicated the signal does through your operating system in your other chakras. So let's start with the crown chakra and the root chakra. So as a healthy interaction an operating frequency signal operating between the crown chakra and the root chakra, the crown chakra is receiving higher guidance and the root chakra grounds it into reality third dimensional plane, human operating system, the living experience, the spiritual insight becomes practical, steady and embody. This is also where we feel or experience faith, something so infinite and otherworldly without floating away. This is where your divine intelligence is about grounding it in practically through your human experience. And it's also where we can trust life by taking grounded action by participating in our experience consciously. Also a healthy interaction or expression of round chakra communicating with grout chakra is the nervous system feeling regulated or supported enough to integrate higher awareness, meaning feeling seeing, sensing bigger stories, bigger picture lines, multidimensional time, things that just feel so otherworldly and also fantastic, even beyond the clairvoyance or the imagination, and then being able to integrate it without losing ourselves or even go in a little more. And I will say this as we move into the shadow and the imbalances. And I'm very mindful of this language in terms of the world of mental health. But when I have had the privilege of working with people who have diagnosed schizophrenia. Oftentimes what you can hear in their frequency and see in their frequency and through their processing and communication is a very very open and active crown chakra and even third eye and a root chakra that is shut down and does not want to ground into the practical reality. So an imbalanced crown to root chakra can be things like spiritually bypassing, where it's like everything is so divine and I'm living in this mystical world, but being in my body feels unsafe, like I can't really go out in the world and be in practical reality. I just want to be in the mystical and lose myself in a simpler way, just on the daily which we all of us can experience, especially with as much activity is going on in the world and in consciousness and frequencies shifting in our reality in our physical earth, the human residence, and all of the galactic activity we have going on, especially with solar players and new objects coming into our solar system like three eye out lists, and there's a litany of things. It's feeling unbrounded, spacey, disassociated, or disconnected from practical life. And I will say this on a psychic plane. Often times and many of you out there will probably resonate with this. But in times of acute trauma, acute pain, acute suffering, whether it is in the midst of a car accident or something horrific is happening in your life, or just some kind of acute pain and trauma, we disassociate. And looking back and all of my life experiences and the privilege I've had gotten to walk with people in intimate ways through trauma and psychic rips in their experiences, the crown chakra is like angels that the crown chakra is where that divine intelligence pauses time and space. Like if you've been in a car accident and for some reason, everything in the crash itself and it details of that crash say you should have gone through the windshield and this should have happened, but yet you don't have scratches and bruises where you might have them. Something we disassociate and something intelligent happens as a coping mechanism. And while that that is to me, ground chakra absolutely invides and divine resources and that opening to almost create a bubble around us to protect us, it also gives us this recognition or maybe lack thereof of our ability to disassociate, and then sometimes that disassociation becomes a coping mechanism. And then sometimes that disassociation becomes a coping mechanism. You all know this probably in your you're counseling, your therapy, your spiritual work, that you, oh, I was disassociated, you know, I needed to disassociate, but then sometimes we stay in more disassociated spaces. Round chark also fear survival, survival stress, scarcity of the crown. The root chakra deals with our safety and security, so scarcity instability can block that communication from the crown chakra, the divine intelligence and guidance and conscious connection coming through to be like to not root it in. So stress really really impact the connection that the burnout also between the crown chakra and the roof chakra. So your crown chakra may be oh and active, and in a lot of people it's actually like overly been inactive, but there's a disconnect or some kind of break in the frequency or the signal between the crown chakra and the root chakra. And some of that is just freaking environmental survival stress. The toxins we breathe in and the root can't hold the frequency. A really great way to connect the root and the crown chakra in a physical way, and it's my favorite thing to do, and to me, I feel like when I do this, I connect all of my energetic systems. Is there's this asena, a pose in yoga where you put the palm like your fingers and the pads of your your palms under your feet. So you do a forward fold bend and you put your palms your hand under your feet. And every time I do that, it's one of my favorite things to do. I feel like I am energetically connect bole system. And I think brown to root, crown to root, crown to root, root to rise. So here's another easy one which is just tree, which hands above the head. You can either just stand there with your hands above your head, or you can put the pad of your foot right above or below your knee or your ankle. That's a good one. But also mountain ausina where you just stand all chin up, shoulders back, with your palms open and receptive down by your sides. That's another way to put those chakras. So if you can't touch your toes and you're like Amanda, I can't touch my toes. I can't touch my shins or put the pads of my hands under my feet, Like, what are you thinking about? I can't do that, So okay, don't do one of the other things that I suggested. But to me, that's just that grounding effect of interconnecting that bowing my head in, opening your head up and grown in feeling fully line that connects not just the crown in the root, but all the energetic system. So you can use that for any of these All right, now, let's talk about the crown and the sacral chakra. The sacral chakra connected with the crown a healthy interaction and flow. The crown is receiving this information, inspiration, creative flow, and your sacral chakra gives it and feel it expression, personal expression, divine expression from your own creative youth, something that feels otherworldly in your own creation movement. It's where intuition moves and not only intuition, divine inspiration moves through pleasure and emotion, sensuality, creativity. It's a spiritual connection. When that is interconnected, that feels a not sterile, not formulated, not calculated. It's almost like channel to me, and that's what when you look at artists, and we all are artists in our own way, but when you think of a typical artist, whether it is an actress, actor, musician, sculptor, painter, poet, whatever the artistry may be, there is a point in which the unique creative self expression is other worlds. It is coming from somewhere else, and there's a flow state. So when we talk about flow state, and that gets thrown around a lot, but you know, the feeling when you're creating something or you've come up with a unique idea and you're expressing it or putting the puzzle pieces together to make it real through the expression of your emotion and feeling, and it's pleasurable. It's like you're lit up from the inside out and there's no separation between you and the infinite. That's that's the ground and the sacral chakra. It's also I mean, think about this about bringing you know, biologically bringing a child into this world. Pro creation, think about that, bringing together the masculine and the feminine, and I know today there are so many forms of that and also babies being born in you know, in test tubes and things like that. And I am not taking anything away from that I'm just explaining it in the most primal state of the masculine and the feminine where they come together and from something otherworldly. So I mean, hello, orgasmic like it's a freaking orgasm like that is also a heightened expression of it. I know you were thinking it, so like, of course that's what it is. So it's being able to feel an honor desire without being consumed by it in this shadow expression and the imbalances, which is where we get into addiction, obsession, like hyper focus and insanity down the rabbit hole where we just lose ourselves in the inabilitate inability to be completely satiated and satisfied or with pleasure or emotion, and it's like a bottomless pit that we keep searching for that ends up that we can't fill that void, so we fill it with sex and food and drugs and people and work and fill in your blank That can be an imbalance in the sacral chakra and the crown chakra. Also with imbalances between the frequencies of these chakras and fine tuning them, it can show up a shame shame around pleasure, sexuality, creative self expression being seen being able to creatively express yourself freely emotional expression that really can distort the signal. And also it can come through as blockage, feeling blocked creatively or inspirationally or aspirationally blocked, stop in the inability to move. And I'm not talking about physically moving, I'm talking about creatively engaging and new expression. It can also come through as emotional overwhelm and feel intuitively confusing or chaotic meaning because there's so much intelligence filtering through that creatively, it feels like emotional overwhelmed. That's usually the imbalance that shows up for me. I don't feel mentally overwhelmed. I feel emotionally overwhelmed, And usually that's relationships and interpersonal stuff like That's where I know that imbalance lives for me oftentimes. And one more imbalance here that you might not think of is to me rigidity or dogma, which can also be a little bit of solar plexus and mean I'll talk about that next. But becoming so rigid in your philosophy of life or your doctrine that it becomes dogma and you become disembodied or disconnected from joy and pleasure, and sometimes our hormones just do back to us because we're humans. So the hormones absolutely take part in this, which guess what. The hormones are part of, not all, but a big part of the sacral chakra. So it's just amazing how connected it is. But a healthy crown to sacral chakra is divine inspiration and aspiration that becomes embody that you can feel and move through and express. Okay, the crown chakra and the solar plexus, moving into the solar plexus. The crown chakra again is receiving information, intelligence and guidance, and the solar plexus is what helps us act on our inspiration and guidance and insight with confidence and discernment. So the solar plexus is about action, but through a sense of discernment and confidence. It's where spiritual truth, your spiritual truth or the spiritual truth you are receiving and experiencing, becomes a part of your empowered choice, where empowerment, agency, sovereignty, authority, self leadership, personal leadership, becoming the leader of your own life. Not blocking out your higher self and your conscious contact, but doing becoming the leader of your life in tandem with your higher self, your soul, a healthy expression of the Solar Plexus and the Crown chakra is also a person who really trusts their inner authority and agency without needing out side validation and hello, I can raise my hand for this and most likely most of you all can too. Is in this age where we have had this social media for years and there's clicks and likes and click bait and all of those things, this external credibility really creating an imbalance between the internal credibility, the internal trust, the internal agency, and at the highest level that's sovereignty. The crown chakra, in connection with the solar plexus, also has an era of brace. It's like when great like your humility and your personal power are working together. It's a different kind of strength. It's not ego. It's the healthy use of the ego, which is part of the mighty. I am the Solar Plexus, and it coming from somewhere else and it has nothing to do with pride and show and puffing your chest. It's more it's like the humble servant, the humble leever leader, where everything it feels like grace, grace running through your body and they're working together so your actions become clear, aligned, intentional, inspired, and intuitive simultaneously. I know that's a lot so imbalances you may notice or consider. With the brown chakra and solar plexus functioning together would be giving your power away and we all again, that's another thing I can raise my hand for. I think of the times where I like to think of it as white coat syndrome. Let's say in a doctor's office, and you're in there by yourself, and you go in with your list of questions and somehow you just forget them all. You know, you lose that ability to discerningly ask questions. That's a real simple example. But all the times where you've given your power away, and specifically with the solar plexus, and this is what is very important and relevant relevant right now, is giving your power away to doururus or teachers or system authorities without having your own voice and your own uniqueness within that system. But giving your power and your voice and your discernment away versus owning your own intelligence and then being in connection with and in tandem with inflated ego, which we're human. We all suffer with that, we can and we can suffer from an inflated ego or a deflated ego. Either one, they're different sides of the same coin, the inflated ego, and also like miss superiority, self righteousness, and especially when we're talking about the crown chakra spiritual superiority, I know more than you get guru kind of energy. I know more than you I but with an air of superiority, which we can all experience self righteousness or that rationalization that turns into superiority at some time, that can be an imbalance. Also, doubting your intuitive guidance because of either low self worth or you're afraid of being wrong, Like you're afraid that, like what if you share some intuitive information or you're knowing you're knowing because you're like, uh, let me just water it down around these people. And I have watched and witnessed myself to it a number of times, especially around people religion belief systems, because I am a Libra Sun and Moon, So there's that shadow element of people pleasing or appeasing and not saying my own truth or speaking it just to not have the conversation. So it's not so much doubting, it can be doubting the intuitive guidance, but it's also not having the courage to authentically communicate it, and maybe the avoidance avoidance of those conversations, so doubting your intuitive guidance are knowing or avoiding it. To me, both sides of that coin can ring very true for an imbalance between the crown and the solar plexus. Also, that speaks to the state of the balancing, the optimization, the state of your solar plexus in terms of risk receiving incredible downloads, dreams, insights like doing work on the astral plane at night, and then not feeling or being strong enough, bold enough, true enough, capable enough to act on it, to express it in some way, shape or form. And I don't mean we act on all our dreams. I just mean whatever insight downloads you might be receiving, how do you communicate those and incorporate those through your actions? How do you show up So the solar plexus and the crown chakra communication To me, it's like, okay, Amanda, if I want to start somewhere, because you're already giving me so much, I'd start with the solar plexus and the Crown chakra. I feel like that's the more tangible one. And then also I think if you want an exercise for the solar plexus and the sacral chakra. I think writing journaling and also automatic writing or journaling where you just start journaling or writing and at some point just stuff is pouring out of you on the page. That is an act of practicing and flexing the muscle of the sacral chakra and the crown chakra. The solar plexus and the crown can be a way to practice that is being confidence in what you know, not needing to argue about it or prove it, but looking at the people you attract into your orbit, and are those people that you can talk about your spiritual development and path and knowing and insights with really without judgment or needing to water down or distort or do your co courts hear you and listen. It doesn't mean that they believe the same thing or it's validating you in what you believe. It's just believing in you. So looking at your friendships and relationships and the relationships you have attracted in or vice versa, and which ones of those have that symbiotic relationship. That's a really good indication of ground chakra functioning. That's just a good litmus test and place to start the crown and the heart chakra. Healthy interactions with the heart chakra. If the crown is open to the divine information in all the universal intelligence available, the heart translates it through compassion and compassion without being sucked in and exhausted and imbalanced. It's spiritual insight that becomes loving, relational, humane. And let's talk about that part of it, because this, to me is a little bit of solar plexus and a little bit of heart chakra in action. You think about natural disasters, and I for me, growing up in Louisiana, I've been through a lot of hurricanes and water and flooding and what happens. And you think about those videos you see when we have natural disasters and how people come from all over providing support and resources. And I think specifically of this video. Years ago I saw I was a really bad hurricane that went through and then Houston flooded really bad. But it like all these people lined up with boats and trailers and food trucks and all like coming to provide resources and help, and like, even as I say it, it's like, oh my gosh, that's humanity. We have these awful tragedies and these disasters, and then and then there's humanity. And the reason I say it's hard art chakra, it's where things become loving and relational and humane. Humane is the word and why I was also connecting it because the solar plexus is where I was saying, that's where we take action, you know, that's where we take action with boldness and confidence. And that to me is a demonstration of both of those operating like punctimally and in tandem. So when the human spirit shows, that's through the heart, round to the heart. A healthy interaction between the heart chakra and the crown chakra is also when a person can fold wisdom without becoming either detached or cold. And right now energetically, Pluto is Inaquarius, and one of the greatest shadows of Pluto's transit through Aquarius, which is like a twenty year transit, so we're in an error of the because Pluto will unearth the shadows is being detached or cold. And at its highest, Pluto and Aquarius is about humanity, the future of humanity. So in essence, a lot of this next twenty years is about the interaction of the crown and the heart. So somebody being able to hold a lot of spiritual intelligence without becoming too intellectual, cold, or detached, because sometimes the more you learn and know, the more isolated you can feel, and that creates walls around the heart. So guess what it's important to do To breathe, To breathe really deeply and fully, to put your hand right on your heart, your palm on your sternum, and to breathe to self soothe there. This is a really great way to imagine that you are breathing in a column of white through the top of your head. You're funneling it through and putting your your palm on your curnum and rubbing and breathing. You are activating that intelligence and that channel. So you can hold all of this rapidly evolving information and intelligence that is coming through without feeling mechanical, rigid or hold another Another balanced healthy roun to heart chakra is feeling a sense of unit. It's forgiveness. It's also grace. I know I talked about grace a little bit earlier, But forgiveness interconnectedness, and it's not so much about by passing in that are just letting go of something. It's being able to give and to integrate and a lot of times with higher consciousness coming through your heart, it's like living and moving from a heart centered presence. And we all know people, I would think we all even if it's not somebody you physically know, somebody maybe you see and it's like you can see that they move from your heart because they move you. Something inside of you move when you connect with this person or when you listen to this person's sing. You know, we were talking about the connection of the crown chakra and the sacral chakra, but it's like, eh, something touches something universal within you from somebody else. That's the crown chakra and the heart chakra, and you do that. You do that. Each of us have the ability to radiate and inspire and touch someone's depths. And usually it's not when we're trying to do that or practicing at or performing at doing something like that. It comes through because it's just divinely channeled. So imbalances between the crown chakra and the heart chakra can of course be things like detachment, coldness without any compassion. And again, like I said, red Flag, we're in an age right now where that is definitely a shadow aspect and I have felt myself at times because there is so much chaos going on. It's like, instead of going straight to compassion, I might go to self preservation. Right, Like, there's so much at work and at play here, So look for that just within yourself too, and be honest about it, because that's actually a natural part of the balance that's happening and the transformation that's happening right now. So all of us will feel that, and then we find our resonance again also using and I am such a I will raise my hand for this one using higher truth or like spiritual reasoning, so to speak, spiritual information to avoid grief, for vulnerability or intimacy or emotional honesty. I mean a lot of times when I have something physical going on or like I specifically remember this with my mother when my mother was terminally ill with cancer, and this was a dynamic we had. Is a lot of times when she would say something was going on with her cancer, I would say, well, Mom, you know, that's the solar plexus, you know, and that's because when you were younger. I mean, I would do this to her and it wasn't I wasn't trying to be superior or a spouse. It was my coping mechanism and my way of dealing with the fact that my mother was dying and she had metasthetic cancer and it wasn't stopping. So what was my imbalance there was? Well, Mom, that's just your overactive this and when you were you didn't deal with this trump like you know. And of course my mom and I had amazing conversations and connected beautiful dots to her spiritual path and journey and personal path and journey, and it was incredible. But I know when sometimes in my head I can rationalize or go logical and bypass in the name of something that is more about consciousness and spirituality versus what I'm really feeling, sadness, greed, you know, disconnected, whatever it may be. Another one is feeling really connected to the universe and God and the divine and then feeling totally disconnected from people. It doesn't mean you have to be connected to all people and that all people get your intimacy or your day to day connection. We don't have the capacity for that. But you know what I'm talking about, When it's like I get it, I get all at least truth, but nobody gets me, Like, who are most people you know, and I think that's so human, especially in spiritual awakening. You know, if you're kind of in a wake up stage or you're jumping into a higher octave of frequency right now, which a lot of us are doing. I don't want you to be alone. Find your people, find your community, and the heart is what attracts that. So being able to connect your crown to your heart and follow your intuition, take action solar plexus that will attract in your people, your connections, your support system. And also the crown may be open or even overactive, and the heart may be wounded and shut down and closed. And we all go through phases where we build walls and we shut down and close. But this is a time to remove those bricks and have the healthy energy system and energetic boundaries while being loving and open and connected without the imbalances. And there's a lot that goes on between the crown and the heart chakra, and I think we are really flexing that energy right now, electromagnetically, spiritually, consciously, and also just with this with the speed up of energy all right, the crown and the throat chakra, the crown chakra receives higher information, and the throat it was what gives it languid sound truth. It's where spiritual insight becomes clear communication internally and externally. It's where a person can speak from resonance, their pure tone. I've talked a lot about this in the Throat Chakra episode. The pure tone, the pure note, the true note, speaking from that place, and it being resonance, cohesive, not performative or put on or imbalanced, and and authentic. The voice literally literally becomes a channel for your truth, your wisdom, your coherence, for channeling, for channeling, downloading information and channeling. And if your throat chakra is out of whack, you're saying one thing in your head and saying one other thing externally, then how are you going to channel clearly? Channeling clearly is a hard thing to do anyway, you know, And sometimes it's sporadic and it's hard to control. And it's a muscle and energetic muscle that we are all flexing. And it's becoming really permeable and real through science and discovery right now. But the mystics have on this stuff for a long time. The crown chakra in the throat chakra is the alignments between what is received and like non in your bones and your cells and your DNA, how you verbalize that, give language to that, give expression to that, and of course that is also connected to your sacral chakra, the creative self expression. You see how it's like all of these systems are interconnected. It's like all of these systems are interconnected. You can find some delineations and really don't go into perfect categories, and I don't mean for them to, just giving you spiritual food for your own thought and expression. So imbalances you all can guess. The imbalance is here with the throat and the crown chakra. It's receiving insight and not speaking it intuitive hits and guidance. It's speaking to abstractly or vaguely without clarity, so just kind of in ongoing monologues and you know, far away truths without being able to really practice leer, excessively relate or ground those things in. So it can be very overwhelming too, Like language wise, it can be overwhelming fear of being misunderstood, judged, or rejected, like if you use your voice, if you communicate that you've been having these dreams or these intuitive hits, or you know, for goodness sake, if you have true mediumship abilities and spirits and loved ones coming to your However, that and that also can that can be a lot. But the inability to communicate that or know what to do with it so just being misunderstood, judged, rejected. And we have a lot of that. Many of us have walked through that and walked through that at different junctures in our spiritual evolution. The crown chakra also can be very active, but the throat can actually just block the transmission if your voice isn't open to speak your truth, your experience, your insights. And it's not about explaining or speaking or pushing onto the projection, you know, pushing your beliefs ideas, insights as true says facts. It's not about any kind of pushing. It's about authenticity in that interconnection between the crown and the throat. And one of the things that I mentioned receiving spiritual insight and knowing when and how to speak it. That in and of itself has some ethics attached to it. Meaning let's say you do have mediumship gifts and abilities and you're getting a download or an insight, or there is a loved one coming through for someone else instead of just blurting out that information to someone, asking permission above even that spirit, a quick yes or a no, and then trusting the yes or the no. That's a healthy throat chakra because you get all this information and then you get a no from above the spirit. No, you're not supposed to share that information right now, it's not yours to share and trusting it right there, Or when you receive the darn yes and you're in the grocery store on an airplane, that's a whole story of my life. And then you're like, oh gosh, now I have to talk to the stranger and tell them that their dead brother in law is sitting next to them on the plane. You know, so crazy stuff happened. But then there's the other piece to it, the second door to walk through, as you ask, am I allowed to tell this person? You know? Yes, the answer is and then you say to the person, Hey, I have this gift and ability, I'm receiving some information. Would you like to hear it? And if the person says heck, no, you're crazy, then you say, okay, maybe so, and then you laugh and you go back to reading your book on the plane. That takes a lot of practice. But then you know what the cool thing with it is, once you start flexing that muscle, you don't take it personally anymore. Whatever the divine insider guidance is, it's so clear, it's so clear in the internal voice that you don't go back and forth and argue with the intelligence and the information and the divinity or the message coming through, and that takes That takes trust, and it also does take a lot of courage. I think there's a lot of courage in the throat chakra and also the courage to come from your pure tone, like have the courage to express yourself from your pure tone. The crown chakras kind of amazing, right, Okay, now we're on to the last one, the crown and the third eye. This is the most elusive one. As you're kind of talking like a similar operating system. You've got the third eye area which encapsulates that part of the skull in the brain, and then you have this little tiny font and fountain space of the crown chakra, so they kind of kneld together a little bit. The crown chakras sees the guidance and the intelligence and the third I interprets through intuition, perception, and inner vision. So it's where the download and the upload happened simultaneously. If that's not elusive, I don't know what is you think about. You chew on that for a minute, but I'm going to ground it in and I'll give you some examples. There's also clarity here. I think the biggest function for me personally where I have a gift, and I didn't know I had a gift until I went through the journey I went on in the darkest night of my soul in order to open up to this is pattern recognition, and it is probably one of my greatest gifts. Is I just I see patterns where most people don't see patterns. And I'm not talking about on an SAT test. I am talking about in behavior and perception in reality, and I see it psychologically and energetically and people and I read for them when I read, My crown and third eye like basically just fuse together at some kind of sweet spot where I can just start putting all the puzzle pieces together. So it's also synchronicity and symbolic understandment. Understanding like when you like, I know this is functioning for many of you, especially those of you out there who have lost someone or even a pet or whatever it may be, and you get a sign, whether it's a bird or a butterfly, or a rainbow or a pink sky. A pink sky is for my sister in law and her sisters. Their mom always comes through in a pink sky. And anytime I see a pink sky, I think of her, and I don't question it. I don't think, oh, that's just another pink sky. I think, oh, they're Sherry. They're sherry, you know, like I. It's symbolic. It's it's putting puzzle pieces together, symbolic language, so not just needing to use your literal language. It's the language of symbols. Symbologists are really good at this. They're good at it scientifically and intellectually. But there's also when people who are cryptologists and symbologists and whatnot, they are really good with this function because they use their clayers, their clairvoyance, their their cognizance, their sentience, whatever it may be, whichever Claire is strong for them. And I mentioned this, we'll put this in the show notes. I did a blog on that forever ago on how to strengthen your clayers, which ones you may want to work with, because they're your most natural clear abilities, your intuitive abilities, but they're able to associate and disassociate simultaneously where it's like, ah, that's what that means. They can ascribe the meaning and understand it through imagery symbolism and put the puzzle pieces together, and that when I read for someone, that's the way it comes through. It's clear cognizant to me where I'm connecting my crown and my third eye and it's coming through in images, songs, words, language, symbols, metaphors, people like all sorts of things together and being able to bridge that through for me my front chakra, so somebody can really be perceptive. Perception is also part of this interconnection between the crown and the third eye. Very perceptive without losing touch with reality, and the third eye helps translate what is coming through the crown into insight, into guidance into knowing. So imbalances between the crown and the third eye absolutely overthinking, you're intuition like and that one A lot people tend to do that when they're rowing in their intuition and then they hit a stride like, what did this mean? But how did I get this? Wait? But hold on, this happened and then this happened. But do you really think it means this? I mean that is like, that's just exhaustive. It's like, just don't even go into the intuition. But then at some point you break through that and you get an intuitive hit and you just know. So overthinking the intuitive insights can create confusion, psychic overwhelm, so energetic overwhelmed is an imbalance there. Fantasy, even projection, I think projection, even though projection can come from every single one of these chakras, and projection is so layered to talk about, but I think in the third eye and the crown, we emit a signal and a frequent see. It is the greatest to me, I think, the greatest frontier of what will be proven scientifically literally and also with children being born that have exceptional multi dimensional gifts and abilities that some of us have had to really like flex muscles to attune to. I think children are being born that are so much more evolved in their intuitive insight and ability, and it's a more functioning crown and third eye and active DNA. But the frequency that we give out even without knowing the unconscious and unknowing. So projecting without even knowing something can be an imbalance there. And once you know, once you figure out, oh my gosh, I was projecting that and I didn't even need to. Oh I wish I wouldn't have said that, or why did that even come out of my mouth? Or why did I do that? Once to just the self awareness, it's not about beating yourself up. It's saying, okay, like what is this showing me? Oh, there's something that's trying to communicate more harmoniously. Here. There's such an opportunity with the crown and the third eye because also an imbalance could be your anxiety and your imagination or mistaking let's say some of your anxiety or fear or imagination for actual spiritual guidance, like kind of there are people that I encounter and where everything is ominous like oh that's a bad sign. Oh that's they immediately go to that. And sometimes if somebody's really attuned and it's more like an home and ooh you know what, I might not do that today. It's all in the vibration in which it's communicated. But sometimes and you may have these people in your life. It's always like, oh no, that's a sign, Oh no, you shouldn't do that, so shoulds And that kind of fear like it or anxiety, your own anxiety that you're experiencing, starting to project it out or translate it and interpret it in bad things are happening. So you know what a great way to flex these two muscles is is get into appreciation, just gratitude. Gratitude is like the gateway too, the frequency of appreciation. Getting into appreciation interconnects these two chakras and opens them up. So there's a lot a lot to mak ingratitude less and the gateway that that can open, especially from the cosmos, from the divine, the divine help that is wanting to come through and support you in the way in which you interpret and see the world. And also the crown chakra may be receiving well, the crowntracker is receiving a lot of information, especially if it's open or even like overacted, but a lot of that information can be distorted through the third eye or through the layer of interpretation, especially if you're really stressed, you're overwhelmed, you've got imbalances in other places, which for human we're imbalanced all the darn time. You know, this is like, this is like a juggling act. And I'm not a juggler. I'm not a juggler, and I really I don't know how to juggle. But I watched this guy the other day, like the Intersection. He was juggling fire literally, you know, he's juggling fire sticks, and I'm like, oh my gosh. You know, at some point, you know, he knows how to juggle. He probably didn't start by juggling fire sticks, but at some point he he was a capable enough juggler to start juggling, to light things on fire and juggling them. And there's a point where the skill and the practice and the flex muscle becomes something other. You know that he's like in a trance when the guy is doing that, because he can't be just sitting there thinking about it. He would freeze up. It's when it just happens. It's that flow, and that's what each one of these chakras feels like. It's like juggling fire and it's like, wow, how does somebody then do that? And that's the crown of chakra And it's like of course you're going to get burned sometimes. Of course you're going to drop the balls in life each day and every day it's just picking them back up and learning to juggle and do the dance. And we're receiving so much information right now. Our crown chakras and third eyes really are opening. So remember that the health of your crown chakra, balancing it, opening it, optimizing. It is not just about receiving information downloads and being spiritually open. It's about being spiritually connected and embody. We're in a human experience, we're spiritual beings having a human experience. A crown chakra receives your whole system. Energetic system, your brilliant, energetic physical biological system is what integrates. The root chakra grounds it, The sacral chakra animates it and expresses it. The solar plexuss on it with bravado encourage, the heart chakra humanizes it, the third eye interprets and channels it, and the crown chakra connects it all together. So simply put, the crown chakra is not an escape batch from the human experience. It's the point of connection that allows our higher consciousness, our souls, the Divine God self to move through the human body, human heart, human voice, and the human life with brilliance. We're only here for a short time, and this is what opes us and make it matter, make it count, make the most of it in whatever form that takes for you. Thank you so much for joining me today. If you're looking for incredible conscious community, spiritual community, grounded, practical community that discusses these things, connects, touch his base with no pressure, no stress, just really high frequency. Join my frequency field. It will be open for about the first half of June, and we'll have a three month bundle for the summer month summer in the Northern Hemisphere and where I am here in Ecuador, winter in the Southern Hemisphere. But I'm going to open it and then we're going to close it, so whomever is in that community is comitted or in for the three months, because what we've created in that community is not only conscious and quality, it is such incredible community and friendship and bonds that are building. And I'm really I'm grateful for the ability to participate with these souls and what they teach me and how we grow together. But it's so nice to have that spiritual community where you can come in and integrate your astrology and numerology and experiences and wellness and longevity and then just your day to day you know what the stuff that we deal with and how we come into and sustain a higher baseline of frequency. It's been a whole lot of fun and if that's something that calls to you, definitely checked it out. It'll be in the show notes and otherwise, just keep coming back to Soul Sessions.

Speaker 1: Thanks for listening.
Speaker 1: Hi everyone, it's Amanda riger Green. Welcome to Soul Session. We're going to talk about the Crown chakra. I've been doing a series throughout all of the chakras, or at least the main seven chakras in the body, the root chakra through now the crown, and the crown is the more mystical and elusive. It's more difficult to communicate and describe the crown chakra functions through the other chakras and systems in the body. It's not a standale chakra. And yes, it stands alone like the others do with a cloud and I'll talk about it. But if you haven't explored the other chakras, and maybe you listen to this one first and then you go back through the other one, encourage you to do so. And especially when I start to explain this, I think you'll see the complexity yet beauty of the energetic systems in the body and how they function for you uniquely at divine being and a human being in the material world in multi dimensional reality. So the crown chakra, the crown chakra, of course in physical space, is located at the crown of your head, the top of your head, and as far as territory goes physical territory. The crown chakra is the smallness. When I was talking about the throat chakra, we know, I'm like, I love the throat chakra. I cover so much territory. It's the throat, it's the sea spine. It's the mouth. It's the teeth, it's the gums, it's the ears, it's the ear drums, it's the nostrils, it's the sinuses, it's your tongue. The crown chakra is just this little tiny point on the top of your head. It's small, it doesn't cover a tremendous amount of territory, yet it funnels in the entire universe, divine wisdom, everything that ever is, was, or will be, past, present, future, and filters them into three D reality. So it's fascinating that this small energetic center is what touches the entire universe, all of space and prime divine, the primordial connection with the universe, our connection to that. So it's pretty fascinating. So, yes, crownshracker at the top of the head. And the simplest way for me to conceptualize that is when babies are born and they have that soft spot on their crown, their literal skull that is not light formed yet that soft spot that's the crown, like right there, and I think it's called the front ont to. Now, when a baby is born, they come from inside this sacred place where they're not breathing air, and we come into the world and there are bright lights, synthetic lights, and there's air, and it's an adjustment with that part of a newborn that is still connected to divine, to infinite, to something that came from and was seeded from another place biologically, intelligently, blindly, uniquely. That's the ground shakra that in and of itself gives you the unique special nature of this chakra and why describing it or explaining it outside out of just the basic metaphysical terms, meaning yes, crown chakra, it connects us with the divine and divine intelligence multiple timelines, different timelines than reality, the universe God. But it also is this place in which we are able to not only associate higher consciousness, but it is this fountain of light and information that we integrated through our body, through our actual physical body and energetic systems. And in the metaphysical terms, yes, it can the color associated with the crown chakra is usually violet, or I think of my cround chakra when I come into that energy and I am focused in that place and space in my body more like divine white light, kind of like diamondy violity, white brilliant stardust is the way twinkling stardust, fairy dust. That's kind of a way that it comes through, or sometimes for me, it comes through in like beautiful gold tendrils that look like DNA, like a column of light through the top of the head. Those are the more traditional ways of conceptualized crown chakra. But one thing you can do just to debate that chakra, and you can do this with the third eye as well, is to just tap, to tap, take your index finger in your middle finger and gently, not knocking on your head like a woodpecker, but just tapping right there on that space in your head and debating it. And I'm doing that as we speak. So if you're watching on YouTube, I'm tapping. If you're listening and hear a little bit of reverb in the mic, I was tapping on my head. But that's an easy way to activate and bring awareness to that area physically. The crown chakra yes is associated with higher consciousness, spiritual insights, universal truth, expanded awareness. But the crown chakra, like I was saying, does not operate in isolation. The crown chakra receives, and that's what makes it stand out a little differently than the other chakras. Not unlike the third eye. The third eye also receives, but it pulls from the intelligence within. And if the third eye is like uploads, while the crown chakra is like downloads, I'm going to repeat that your third eye is like uploads from your cells, your DNA, your physiology, your body, your experience in this timeline, and maybe others, and the crown chakra is like doubt. And that word is used a lot and thrown a lot in spiritual teachings. And there is absolutely a difference, and it's a very nuanced difference. And the more not advanced to you get, the more committed in your consciousness, self awareness and personal and spiritual development, and the more connected you get to your soul, the easier it is to delineate a bit between the third eye and the crown. But the crown doesn't operate in isolation, and a healthy crown chakra needs to riskceieve and communicate through the other chakras in the body. So it needs the rest of the operating system to be functioning, balanced and in full force, open and fluid. And I'm going to go through the crown chakra and its communication with chakra, root, sacral, solar, plexus, heart, throat, and third bite and attributes of each healthy interactions and imbalances, blockages or shadows, and that will help you. And we are only touching the brilliance of what our bodies are able to do, the capabilities and the operating system, and the crown is your special gateway to filter that information, be able to express it, to complicit it. So the spiritual information you are downloading or receiving asks you to move it through your body, your emotions, your voice, your heart, your will, your nervous system, and then it comes in because otherwise the crown chakra is just like ether, so it gets translated or communicated the signal does through your operating system in your other chakras. So let's start with the crown chakra and the root chakra. So as a healthy interaction an operating frequency signal operating between the crown chakra and the root chakra, the crown chakra is receiving higher guidance and the root chakra grounds it into reality third dimensional plane, human operating system, the living experience, the spiritual insight becomes practical, steady and embody. This is also where we feel or experience faith, something so infinite and otherworldly without floating away. This is where your divine intelligence is about grounding it in practically through your human experience. And it's also where we can trust life by taking grounded action by participating in our experience consciously. Also a healthy interaction or expression of round chakra communicating with grout chakra is the nervous system feeling regulated or supported enough to integrate higher awareness, meaning feeling seeing, sensing bigger stories, bigger picture lines, multidimensional time, things that just feel so otherworldly and also fantastic, even beyond the clairvoyance or the imagination, and then being able to integrate it without losing ourselves or even go in a little more. And I will say this as we move into the shadow and the imbalances. And I'm very mindful of this language in terms of the world of mental health. But when I have had the privilege of working with people who have diagnosed schizophrenia. Oftentimes what you can hear in their frequency and see in their frequency and through their processing and communication is a very very open and active crown chakra and even third eye and a root chakra that is shut down and does not want to ground into the practical reality. So an imbalanced crown to root chakra can be things like spiritually bypassing, where it's like everything is so divine and I'm living in this mystical world, but being in my body feels unsafe, like I can't really go out in the world and be in practical reality. I just want to be in the mystical and lose myself in a simpler way, just on the daily which we all of us can experience, especially with as much activity is going on in the world and in consciousness and frequencies shifting in our reality in our physical earth, the human residence, and all of the galactic activity we have going on, especially with solar players and new objects coming into our solar system like three eye out lists, and there's a litany of things. It's feeling unbrounded, spacey, disassociated, or disconnected from practical life. And I will say this on a psychic plane. Often times and many of you out there will probably resonate with this. But in times of acute trauma, acute pain, acute suffering, whether it is in the midst of a car accident or something horrific is happening in your life, or just some kind of acute pain and trauma, we disassociate. And looking back and all of my life experiences and the privilege I've had gotten to walk with people in intimate ways through trauma and psychic rips in their experiences, the crown chakra is like angels that the crown chakra is where that divine intelligence pauses time and space. Like if you've been in a car accident and for some reason, everything in the crash itself and it details of that crash say you should have gone through the windshield and this should have happened, but yet you don't have scratches and bruises where you might have them. Something we disassociate and something intelligent happens as a coping mechanism. And while that that is to me, ground chakra absolutely invides and divine resources and that opening to almost create a bubble around us to protect us, it also gives us this recognition or maybe lack thereof of our ability to disassociate, and then sometimes that disassociation becomes a coping mechanism. And then sometimes that disassociation becomes a coping mechanism. You all know this probably in your you're counseling, your therapy, your spiritual work, that you, oh, I was disassociated, you know, I needed to disassociate, but then sometimes we stay in more disassociated spaces. Round chark also fear survival, survival stress, scarcity of the crown. The root chakra deals with our safety and security, so scarcity instability can block that communication from the crown chakra, the divine intelligence and guidance and conscious connection coming through to be like to not root it in. So stress really really impact the connection that the burnout also between the crown chakra and the roof chakra. So your crown chakra may be oh and active, and in a lot of people it's actually like overly been inactive, but there's a disconnect or some kind of break in the frequency or the signal between the crown chakra and the root chakra. And some of that is just freaking environmental survival stress. The toxins we breathe in and the root can't hold the frequency. A really great way to connect the root and the crown chakra in a physical way, and it's my favorite thing to do, and to me, I feel like when I do this, I connect all of my energetic systems. Is there's this asena, a pose in yoga where you put the palm like your fingers and the pads of your your palms under your feet. So you do a forward fold bend and you put your palms your hand under your feet. And every time I do that, it's one of my favorite things to do. I feel like I am energetically connect bole system. And I think brown to root, crown to root, crown to root, root to rise. So here's another easy one which is just tree, which hands above the head. You can either just stand there with your hands above your head, or you can put the pad of your foot right above or below your knee or your ankle. That's a good one. But also mountain ausina where you just stand all chin up, shoulders back, with your palms open and receptive down by your sides. That's another way to put those chakras. So if you can't touch your toes and you're like Amanda, I can't touch my toes. I can't touch my shins or put the pads of my hands under my feet, Like, what are you thinking about? I can't do that, So okay, don't do one of the other things that I suggested. But to me, that's just that grounding effect of interconnecting that bowing my head in, opening your head up and grown in feeling fully line that connects not just the crown in the root, but all the energetic system. So you can use that for any of these All right, now, let's talk about the crown and the sacral chakra. The sacral chakra connected with the crown a healthy interaction and flow. The crown is receiving this information, inspiration, creative flow, and your sacral chakra gives it and feel it expression, personal expression, divine expression from your own creative youth, something that feels otherworldly in your own creation movement. It's where intuition moves and not only intuition, divine inspiration moves through pleasure and emotion, sensuality, creativity. It's a spiritual connection. When that is interconnected, that feels a not sterile, not formulated, not calculated. It's almost like channel to me, and that's what when you look at artists, and we all are artists in our own way, but when you think of a typical artist, whether it is an actress, actor, musician, sculptor, painter, poet, whatever the artistry may be, there is a point in which the unique creative self expression is other worlds. It is coming from somewhere else, and there's a flow state. So when we talk about flow state, and that gets thrown around a lot, but you know, the feeling when you're creating something or you've come up with a unique idea and you're expressing it or putting the puzzle pieces together to make it real through the expression of your emotion and feeling, and it's pleasurable. It's like you're lit up from the inside out and there's no separation between you and the infinite. That's that's the ground and the sacral chakra. It's also I mean, think about this about bringing you know, biologically bringing a child into this world. Pro creation, think about that, bringing together the masculine and the feminine, and I know today there are so many forms of that and also babies being born in you know, in test tubes and things like that. And I am not taking anything away from that I'm just explaining it in the most primal state of the masculine and the feminine where they come together and from something otherworldly. So I mean, hello, orgasmic like it's a freaking orgasm like that is also a heightened expression of it. I know you were thinking it, so like, of course that's what it is. So it's being able to feel an honor desire without being consumed by it in this shadow expression and the imbalances, which is where we get into addiction, obsession, like hyper focus and insanity down the rabbit hole where we just lose ourselves in the inabilitate inability to be completely satiated and satisfied or with pleasure or emotion, and it's like a bottomless pit that we keep searching for that ends up that we can't fill that void, so we fill it with sex and food and drugs and people and work and fill in your blank That can be an imbalance in the sacral chakra and the crown chakra. Also with imbalances between the frequencies of these chakras and fine tuning them, it can show up a shame shame around pleasure, sexuality, creative self expression being seen being able to creatively express yourself freely emotional expression that really can distort the signal. And also it can come through as blockage, feeling blocked creatively or inspirationally or aspirationally blocked, stop in the inability to move. And I'm not talking about physically moving, I'm talking about creatively engaging and new expression. It can also come through as emotional overwhelm and feel intuitively confusing or chaotic meaning because there's so much intelligence filtering through that creatively, it feels like emotional overwhelmed. That's usually the imbalance that shows up for me. I don't feel mentally overwhelmed. I feel emotionally overwhelmed, And usually that's relationships and interpersonal stuff like That's where I know that imbalance lives for me oftentimes. And one more imbalance here that you might not think of is to me rigidity or dogma, which can also be a little bit of solar plexus and mean I'll talk about that next. But becoming so rigid in your philosophy of life or your doctrine that it becomes dogma and you become disembodied or disconnected from joy and pleasure, and sometimes our hormones just do back to us because we're humans. So the hormones absolutely take part in this, which guess what. The hormones are part of, not all, but a big part of the sacral chakra. So it's just amazing how connected it is. But a healthy crown to sacral chakra is divine inspiration and aspiration that becomes embody that you can feel and move through and express. Okay, the crown chakra and the solar plexus, moving into the solar plexus. The crown chakra again is receiving information, intelligence and guidance, and the solar plexus is what helps us act on our inspiration and guidance and insight with confidence and discernment. So the solar plexus is about action, but through a sense of discernment and confidence. It's where spiritual truth, your spiritual truth or the spiritual truth you are receiving and experiencing, becomes a part of your empowered choice, where empowerment, agency, sovereignty, authority, self leadership, personal leadership, becoming the leader of your own life. Not blocking out your higher self and your conscious contact, but doing becoming the leader of your life in tandem with your higher self, your soul, a healthy expression of the Solar Plexus and the Crown chakra is also a person who really trusts their inner authority and agency without needing out side validation and hello, I can raise my hand for this and most likely most of you all can too. Is in this age where we have had this social media for years and there's clicks and likes and click bait and all of those things, this external credibility really creating an imbalance between the internal credibility, the internal trust, the internal agency, and at the highest level that's sovereignty. The crown chakra, in connection with the solar plexus, also has an era of brace. It's like when great like your humility and your personal power are working together. It's a different kind of strength. It's not ego. It's the healthy use of the ego, which is part of the mighty. I am the Solar Plexus, and it coming from somewhere else and it has nothing to do with pride and show and puffing your chest. It's more it's like the humble servant, the humble leever leader, where everything it feels like grace, grace running through your body and they're working together so your actions become clear, aligned, intentional, inspired, and intuitive simultaneously. I know that's a lot so imbalances you may notice or consider. With the brown chakra and solar plexus functioning together would be giving your power away and we all again, that's another thing I can raise my hand for. I think of the times where I like to think of it as white coat syndrome. Let's say in a doctor's office, and you're in there by yourself, and you go in with your list of questions and somehow you just forget them all. You know, you lose that ability to discerningly ask questions. That's a real simple example. But all the times where you've given your power away, and specifically with the solar plexus, and this is what is very important and relevant relevant right now, is giving your power away to doururus or teachers or system authorities without having your own voice and your own uniqueness within that system. But giving your power and your voice and your discernment away versus owning your own intelligence and then being in connection with and in tandem with inflated ego, which we're human. We all suffer with that, we can and we can suffer from an inflated ego or a deflated ego. Either one, they're different sides of the same coin, the inflated ego, and also like miss superiority, self righteousness, and especially when we're talking about the crown chakra spiritual superiority, I know more than you get guru kind of energy. I know more than you I but with an air of superiority, which we can all experience self righteousness or that rationalization that turns into superiority at some time, that can be an imbalance. Also, doubting your intuitive guidance because of either low self worth or you're afraid of being wrong, Like you're afraid that, like what if you share some intuitive information or you're knowing you're knowing because you're like, uh, let me just water it down around these people. And I have watched and witnessed myself to it a number of times, especially around people religion belief systems, because I am a Libra Sun and Moon, So there's that shadow element of people pleasing or appeasing and not saying my own truth or speaking it just to not have the conversation. So it's not so much doubting, it can be doubting the intuitive guidance, but it's also not having the courage to authentically communicate it, and maybe the avoidance avoidance of those conversations, so doubting your intuitive guidance are knowing or avoiding it. To me, both sides of that coin can ring very true for an imbalance between the crown and the solar plexus. Also, that speaks to the state of the balancing, the optimization, the state of your solar plexus in terms of risk receiving incredible downloads, dreams, insights like doing work on the astral plane at night, and then not feeling or being strong enough, bold enough, true enough, capable enough to act on it, to express it in some way, shape or form. And I don't mean we act on all our dreams. I just mean whatever insight downloads you might be receiving, how do you communicate those and incorporate those through your actions? How do you show up So the solar plexus and the crown chakra communication To me, it's like, okay, Amanda, if I want to start somewhere, because you're already giving me so much, I'd start with the solar plexus and the Crown chakra. I feel like that's the more tangible one. And then also I think if you want an exercise for the solar plexus and the sacral chakra. I think writing journaling and also automatic writing or journaling where you just start journaling or writing and at some point just stuff is pouring out of you on the page. That is an act of practicing and flexing the muscle of the sacral chakra and the crown chakra. The solar plexus and the crown can be a way to practice that is being confidence in what you know, not needing to argue about it or prove it, but looking at the people you attract into your orbit, and are those people that you can talk about your spiritual development and path and knowing and insights with really without judgment or needing to water down or distort or do your co courts hear you and listen. It doesn't mean that they believe the same thing or it's validating you in what you believe. It's just believing in you. So looking at your friendships and relationships and the relationships you have attracted in or vice versa, and which ones of those have that symbiotic relationship. That's a really good indication of ground chakra functioning. That's just a good litmus test and place to start the crown and the heart chakra. Healthy interactions with the heart chakra. If the crown is open to the divine information in all the universal intelligence available, the heart translates it through compassion and compassion without being sucked in and exhausted and imbalanced. It's spiritual insight that becomes loving, relational, humane. And let's talk about that part of it, because this, to me is a little bit of solar plexus and a little bit of heart chakra in action. You think about natural disasters, and I for me, growing up in Louisiana, I've been through a lot of hurricanes and water and flooding and what happens. And you think about those videos you see when we have natural disasters and how people come from all over providing support and resources. And I think specifically of this video. Years ago I saw I was a really bad hurricane that went through and then Houston flooded really bad. But it like all these people lined up with boats and trailers and food trucks and all like coming to provide resources and help, and like, even as I say it, it's like, oh my gosh, that's humanity. We have these awful tragedies and these disasters, and then and then there's humanity. And the reason I say it's hard art chakra, it's where things become loving and relational and humane. Humane is the word and why I was also connecting it because the solar plexus is where I was saying, that's where we take action, you know, that's where we take action with boldness and confidence. And that to me is a demonstration of both of those operating like punctimally and in tandem. So when the human spirit shows, that's through the heart, round to the heart. A healthy interaction between the heart chakra and the crown chakra is also when a person can fold wisdom without becoming either detached or cold. And right now energetically, Pluto is Inaquarius, and one of the greatest shadows of Pluto's transit through Aquarius, which is like a twenty year transit, so we're in an error of the because Pluto will unearth the shadows is being detached or cold. And at its highest, Pluto and Aquarius is about humanity, the future of humanity. So in essence, a lot of this next twenty years is about the interaction of the crown and the heart. So somebody being able to hold a lot of spiritual intelligence without becoming too intellectual, cold, or detached, because sometimes the more you learn and know, the more isolated you can feel, and that creates walls around the heart. So guess what it's important to do To breathe, To breathe really deeply and fully, to put your hand right on your heart, your palm on your sternum, and to breathe to self soothe there. This is a really great way to imagine that you are breathing in a column of white through the top of your head. You're funneling it through and putting your your palm on your curnum and rubbing and breathing. You are activating that intelligence and that channel. So you can hold all of this rapidly evolving information and intelligence that is coming through without feeling mechanical, rigid or hold another Another balanced healthy roun to heart chakra is feeling a sense of unit. It's forgiveness. It's also grace. I know I talked about grace a little bit earlier, But forgiveness interconnectedness, and it's not so much about by passing in that are just letting go of something. It's being able to give and to integrate and a lot of times with higher consciousness coming through your heart, it's like living and moving from a heart centered presence. And we all know people, I would think we all even if it's not somebody you physically know, somebody maybe you see and it's like you can see that they move from your heart because they move you. Something inside of you move when you connect with this person or when you listen to this person's sing. You know, we were talking about the connection of the crown chakra and the sacral chakra, but it's like, eh, something touches something universal within you from somebody else. That's the crown chakra and the heart chakra, and you do that. You do that. Each of us have the ability to radiate and inspire and touch someone's depths. And usually it's not when we're trying to do that or practicing at or performing at doing something like that. It comes through because it's just divinely channeled. So imbalances between the crown chakra and the heart chakra can of course be things like detachment, coldness without any compassion. And again, like I said, red Flag, we're in an age right now where that is definitely a shadow aspect and I have felt myself at times because there is so much chaos going on. It's like, instead of going straight to compassion, I might go to self preservation. Right, Like, there's so much at work and at play here, So look for that just within yourself too, and be honest about it, because that's actually a natural part of the balance that's happening and the transformation that's happening right now. So all of us will feel that, and then we find our resonance again also using and I am such a I will raise my hand for this one using higher truth or like spiritual reasoning, so to speak, spiritual information to avoid grief, for vulnerability or intimacy or emotional honesty. I mean a lot of times when I have something physical going on or like I specifically remember this with my mother when my mother was terminally ill with cancer, and this was a dynamic we had. Is a lot of times when she would say something was going on with her cancer, I would say, well, Mom, you know, that's the solar plexus, you know, and that's because when you were younger. I mean, I would do this to her and it wasn't I wasn't trying to be superior or a spouse. It was my coping mechanism and my way of dealing with the fact that my mother was dying and she had metasthetic cancer and it wasn't stopping. So what was my imbalance there was? Well, Mom, that's just your overactive this and when you were you didn't deal with this trump like you know. And of course my mom and I had amazing conversations and connected beautiful dots to her spiritual path and journey and personal path and journey, and it was incredible. But I know when sometimes in my head I can rationalize or go logical and bypass in the name of something that is more about consciousness and spirituality versus what I'm really feeling, sadness, greed, you know, disconnected, whatever it may be. Another one is feeling really connected to the universe and God and the divine and then feeling totally disconnected from people. It doesn't mean you have to be connected to all people and that all people get your intimacy or your day to day connection. We don't have the capacity for that. But you know what I'm talking about, When it's like I get it, I get all at least truth, but nobody gets me, Like, who are most people you know, and I think that's so human, especially in spiritual awakening. You know, if you're kind of in a wake up stage or you're jumping into a higher octave of frequency right now, which a lot of us are doing. I don't want you to be alone. Find your people, find your community, and the heart is what attracts that. So being able to connect your crown to your heart and follow your intuition, take action solar plexus that will attract in your people, your connections, your support system. And also the crown may be open or even overactive, and the heart may be wounded and shut down and closed. And we all go through phases where we build walls and we shut down and close. But this is a time to remove those bricks and have the healthy energy system and energetic boundaries while being loving and open and connected without the imbalances. And there's a lot that goes on between the crown and the heart chakra, and I think we are really flexing that energy right now, electromagnetically, spiritually, consciously, and also just with this with the speed up of energy all right, the crown and the throat chakra, the crown chakra receives higher information, and the throat it was what gives it languid sound truth. It's where spiritual insight becomes clear communication internally and externally. It's where a person can speak from resonance, their pure tone. I've talked a lot about this in the Throat Chakra episode. The pure tone, the pure note, the true note, speaking from that place, and it being resonance, cohesive, not performative or put on or imbalanced, and and authentic. The voice literally literally becomes a channel for your truth, your wisdom, your coherence, for channeling, for channeling, downloading information and channeling. And if your throat chakra is out of whack, you're saying one thing in your head and saying one other thing externally, then how are you going to channel clearly? Channeling clearly is a hard thing to do anyway, you know, And sometimes it's sporadic and it's hard to control. And it's a muscle and energetic muscle that we are all flexing. And it's becoming really permeable and real through science and discovery right now. But the mystics have on this stuff for a long time. The crown chakra in the throat chakra is the alignments between what is received and like non in your bones and your cells and your DNA, how you verbalize that, give language to that, give expression to that, and of course that is also connected to your sacral chakra, the creative self expression. You see how it's like all of these systems are interconnected. It's like all of these systems are interconnected. You can find some delineations and really don't go into perfect categories, and I don't mean for them to, just giving you spiritual food for your own thought and expression. So imbalances you all can guess. The imbalance is here with the throat and the crown chakra. It's receiving insight and not speaking it intuitive hits and guidance. It's speaking to abstractly or vaguely without clarity, so just kind of in ongoing monologues and you know, far away truths without being able to really practice leer, excessively relate or ground those things in. So it can be very overwhelming too, Like language wise, it can be overwhelming fear of being misunderstood, judged, or rejected, like if you use your voice, if you communicate that you've been having these dreams or these intuitive hits, or you know, for goodness sake, if you have true mediumship abilities and spirits and loved ones coming to your However, that and that also can that can be a lot. But the inability to communicate that or know what to do with it so just being misunderstood, judged, rejected. And we have a lot of that. Many of us have walked through that and walked through that at different junctures in our spiritual evolution. The crown chakra also can be very active, but the throat can actually just block the transmission if your voice isn't open to speak your truth, your experience, your insights. And it's not about explaining or speaking or pushing onto the projection, you know, pushing your beliefs ideas, insights as true says facts. It's not about any kind of pushing. It's about authenticity in that interconnection between the crown and the throat. And one of the things that I mentioned receiving spiritual insight and knowing when and how to speak it. That in and of itself has some ethics attached to it. Meaning let's say you do have mediumship gifts and abilities and you're getting a download or an insight, or there is a loved one coming through for someone else instead of just blurting out that information to someone, asking permission above even that spirit, a quick yes or a no, and then trusting the yes or the no. That's a healthy throat chakra because you get all this information and then you get a no from above the spirit. No, you're not supposed to share that information right now, it's not yours to share and trusting it right there, Or when you receive the darn yes and you're in the grocery store on an airplane, that's a whole story of my life. And then you're like, oh gosh, now I have to talk to the stranger and tell them that their dead brother in law is sitting next to them on the plane. You know, so crazy stuff happened. But then there's the other piece to it, the second door to walk through, as you ask, am I allowed to tell this person? You know? Yes, the answer is and then you say to the person, Hey, I have this gift and ability, I'm receiving some information. Would you like to hear it? And if the person says heck, no, you're crazy, then you say, okay, maybe so, and then you laugh and you go back to reading your book on the plane. That takes a lot of practice. But then you know what the cool thing with it is, once you start flexing that muscle, you don't take it personally anymore. Whatever the divine insider guidance is, it's so clear, it's so clear in the internal voice that you don't go back and forth and argue with the intelligence and the information and the divinity or the message coming through, and that takes That takes trust, and it also does take a lot of courage. I think there's a lot of courage in the throat chakra and also the courage to come from your pure tone, like have the courage to express yourself from your pure tone. The crown chakras kind of amazing, right, Okay, now we're on to the last one, the crown and the third eye. This is the most elusive one. As you're kind of talking like a similar operating system. You've got the third eye area which encapsulates that part of the skull in the brain, and then you have this little tiny font and fountain space of the crown chakra, so they kind of kneld together a little bit. The crown chakras sees the guidance and the intelligence and the third I interprets through intuition, perception, and inner vision. So it's where the download and the upload happened simultaneously. If that's not elusive, I don't know what is you think about. You chew on that for a minute, but I'm going to ground it in and I'll give you some examples. There's also clarity here. I think the biggest function for me personally where I have a gift, and I didn't know I had a gift until I went through the journey I went on in the darkest night of my soul in order to open up to this is pattern recognition, and it is probably one of my greatest gifts. Is I just I see patterns where most people don't see patterns. And I'm not talking about on an SAT test. I am talking about in behavior and perception in reality, and I see it psychologically and energetically and people and I read for them when I read, My crown and third eye like basically just fuse together at some kind of sweet spot where I can just start putting all the puzzle pieces together. So it's also synchronicity and symbolic understandment. Understanding like when you like, I know this is functioning for many of you, especially those of you out there who have lost someone or even a pet or whatever it may be, and you get a sign, whether it's a bird or a butterfly, or a rainbow or a pink sky. A pink sky is for my sister in law and her sisters. Their mom always comes through in a pink sky. And anytime I see a pink sky, I think of her, and I don't question it. I don't think, oh, that's just another pink sky. I think, oh, they're Sherry. They're sherry, you know, like I. It's symbolic. It's it's putting puzzle pieces together, symbolic language, so not just needing to use your literal language. It's the language of symbols. Symbologists are really good at this. They're good at it scientifically and intellectually. But there's also when people who are cryptologists and symbologists and whatnot, they are really good with this function because they use their clayers, their clairvoyance, their their cognizance, their sentience, whatever it may be, whichever Claire is strong for them. And I mentioned this, we'll put this in the show notes. I did a blog on that forever ago on how to strengthen your clayers, which ones you may want to work with, because they're your most natural clear abilities, your intuitive abilities, but they're able to associate and disassociate simultaneously where it's like, ah, that's what that means. They can ascribe the meaning and understand it through imagery symbolism and put the puzzle pieces together, and that when I read for someone, that's the way it comes through. It's clear cognizant to me where I'm connecting my crown and my third eye and it's coming through in images, songs, words, language, symbols, metaphors, people like all sorts of things together and being able to bridge that through for me my front chakra, so somebody can really be perceptive. Perception is also part of this interconnection between the crown and the third eye. Very perceptive without losing touch with reality, and the third eye helps translate what is coming through the crown into insight, into guidance into knowing. So imbalances between the crown and the third eye absolutely overthinking, you're intuition like and that one A lot people tend to do that when they're rowing in their intuition and then they hit a stride like, what did this mean? But how did I get this? Wait? But hold on, this happened and then this happened. But do you really think it means this? I mean that is like, that's just exhaustive. It's like, just don't even go into the intuition. But then at some point you break through that and you get an intuitive hit and you just know. So overthinking the intuitive insights can create confusion, psychic overwhelm, so energetic overwhelmed is an imbalance there. Fantasy, even projection, I think projection, even though projection can come from every single one of these chakras, and projection is so layered to talk about, but I think in the third eye and the crown, we emit a signal and a frequent see. It is the greatest to me, I think, the greatest frontier of what will be proven scientifically literally and also with children being born that have exceptional multi dimensional gifts and abilities that some of us have had to really like flex muscles to attune to. I think children are being born that are so much more evolved in their intuitive insight and ability, and it's a more functioning crown and third eye and active DNA. But the frequency that we give out even without knowing the unconscious and unknowing. So projecting without even knowing something can be an imbalance there. And once you know, once you figure out, oh my gosh, I was projecting that and I didn't even need to. Oh I wish I wouldn't have said that, or why did that even come out of my mouth? Or why did I do that? Once to just the self awareness, it's not about beating yourself up. It's saying, okay, like what is this showing me? Oh, there's something that's trying to communicate more harmoniously. Here. There's such an opportunity with the crown and the third eye because also an imbalance could be your anxiety and your imagination or mistaking let's say some of your anxiety or fear or imagination for actual spiritual guidance, like kind of there are people that I encounter and where everything is ominous like oh that's a bad sign. Oh that's they immediately go to that. And sometimes if somebody's really attuned and it's more like an home and ooh you know what, I might not do that today. It's all in the vibration in which it's communicated. But sometimes and you may have these people in your life. It's always like, oh no, that's a sign, Oh no, you shouldn't do that, so shoulds And that kind of fear like it or anxiety, your own anxiety that you're experiencing, starting to project it out or translate it and interpret it in bad things are happening. So you know what a great way to flex these two muscles is is get into appreciation, just gratitude. Gratitude is like the gateway too, the frequency of appreciation. Getting into appreciation interconnects these two chakras and opens them up. So there's a lot a lot to mak ingratitude less and the gateway that that can open, especially from the cosmos, from the divine, the divine help that is wanting to come through and support you in the way in which you interpret and see the world. And also the crown chakra may be receiving well, the crowntracker is receiving a lot of information, especially if it's open or even like overacted, but a lot of that information can be distorted through the third eye or through the layer of interpretation, especially if you're really stressed, you're overwhelmed, you've got imbalances in other places, which for human we're imbalanced all the darn time. You know, this is like, this is like a juggling act. And I'm not a juggler. I'm not a juggler, and I really I don't know how to juggle. But I watched this guy the other day, like the Intersection. He was juggling fire literally, you know, he's juggling fire sticks, and I'm like, oh my gosh. You know, at some point, you know, he knows how to juggle. He probably didn't start by juggling fire sticks, but at some point he he was a capable enough juggler to start juggling, to light things on fire and juggling them. And there's a point where the skill and the practice and the flex muscle becomes something other. You know that he's like in a trance when the guy is doing that, because he can't be just sitting there thinking about it. He would freeze up. It's when it just happens. It's that flow, and that's what each one of these chakras feels like. It's like juggling fire and it's like, wow, how does somebody then do that? And that's the crown of chakra And it's like of course you're going to get burned sometimes. Of course you're going to drop the balls in life each day and every day it's just picking them back up and learning to juggle and do the dance. And we're receiving so much information right now. Our crown chakras and third eyes really are opening. So remember that the health of your crown chakra, balancing it, opening it, optimizing. It is not just about receiving information downloads and being spiritually open. It's about being spiritually connected and embody. We're in a human experience, we're spiritual beings having a human experience. A crown chakra receives your whole system. Energetic system, your brilliant, energetic physical biological system is what integrates. The root chakra grounds it, The sacral chakra animates it and expresses it. The solar plexuss on it with bravado encourage, the heart chakra humanizes it, the third eye interprets and channels it, and the crown chakra connects it all together. So simply put, the crown chakra is not an escape batch from the human experience. It's the point of connection that allows our higher consciousness, our souls, the Divine God self to move through the human body, human heart, human voice, and the human life with brilliance. We're only here for a short time, and this is what opes us and make it matter, make it count, make the most of it in whatever form that takes for you. Thank you so much for joining me today. If you're looking for incredible conscious community, spiritual community, grounded, practical community that discusses these things, connects, touch his base with no pressure, no stress, just really high frequency. Join my frequency field. It will be open for about the first half of June, and we'll have a three month bundle for the summer month summer in the Northern Hemisphere and where I am here in Ecuador, winter in the Southern Hemisphere. But I'm going to open it and then we're going to close it, so whomever is in that community is comitted or in for the three months, because what we've created in that community is not only conscious and quality, it is such incredible community and friendship and bonds that are building. And I'm really I'm grateful for the ability to participate with these souls and what they teach me and how we grow together. But it's so nice to have that spiritual community where you can come in and integrate your astrology and numerology and experiences and wellness and longevity and then just your day to day you know what the stuff that we deal with and how we come into and sustain a higher baseline of frequency. It's been a whole lot of fun and if that's something that calls to you, definitely checked it out. It'll be in the show notes and otherwise, just keep coming back to Soul Sessions.
