Sahasrara is the seventh of our chakras, also known as the crown chakra because it is located at the very top of our head.

Unlike the other six chakras, it does not govern any organ, but being at the apex of our energy centers, it is responsible for the proper functioning of the cerebral cortex and the pineal gland, as well as our highest forms of thought, such as transcendence, knowledge, and spirituality.

Its Sanskrit name literally means “a thousand times as much,” referring to the thousand petals of a lotus flower that slowly unfold, a metaphor for our personal and spiritual growth that reaches its peak precisely at Sahasrara.

The number one thousand is also very significant in the spiritual practices of Eastern culture, cited in many ancient writings.

The Sahasrara chakra is, in fact, connected to our purest and most selfless feelings, such as altruism, humility, trust, compassion, and forgiveness.

7 chakra meaning

Sahasrara is depicted as a white and purple lotus with numerous filaments, with “a thousand petals” in which all fifty letters of the Sanskrit alphabet are inscribed, repeated 20 times.

Inside it is inscribed a triangle and, in some representations, also the design of a full moon.

The characteristics of the seventh chakra

The element that represents this chakra is metal, and the colors associated with it are white, a symbol of enlightened thought and purity, and purple.

Thanks to the energy of the seventh chakra, we are able to reach transcendental knowledge, that is, the highest and purest form of knowledge that exists: when Sahasrara is balanced, our ability to understand, our consciousness, and our learning benefit from it. Thought evolves and becomes pure, uncontaminated, slowly transforming us from observers to leaders and exercising a profound form of awareness aimed at transcending harmful conceptions and letting things happen through us.

Conversely, when the Sahasrara chakra is blocked, our clear thinking is heavily affected. On a physical level, we are subject to headaches, phobias, psychosis, and in general all types of discomfort that distance us from our path of personal growth.

The energy of the seventh chakra is very powerful, so its malfunction is always associated with very marked discomfort.

From a mental point of view, the closure of Sahasrara leads us to divert our attention to materialism rather than spirituality. We become perpetually dissatisfied and cling excessively to earthly goods, fleeing everything that transcends the physical plane.

People with problems in the seventh chakra often fear death and reject everything that does not have a rational explanation.

Material

Corozo, or “Plant Ivory” or “Tagua,” is made from the dried seed of the tropical plant “Phytelephas macrocarpa,” commonly known as the elephant plant (Phytos = plant, elephas = elephant).

The plant, similar to that of the coconut, grows in the humid equatorial belt of central South America (Ecuador).

Each plant produces 8–10 inflorescences per year, each containing 250 seeds. When fresh, they contain a milky white liquid that, after 9 months of maturation, solidifies and transforms into a white material entirely similar to animal ivory.

Corozo nuts, after drying, are cut into slices. The turned slice becomes a disc with regular measurements.

The original color, from optical white to antique ivory, must be considered “the natural” par excellence.

Tinting with natural earths emphasizes the shape and highlights its unique and extraordinary veins, very similar to those of old wood.
