7th Chakra: Crown

I didn't know anything about chakras. Until just now! I looked up the seventh chakra, which is the one I picked out at Aveda, and the fragrance I decided to wear today. Interesting, because it's focused on the mind, of all the chakras, and spirituality, and this is the one I chose. Here is a little bit about the 7th chakra...from an "About.com" page.

The Crown Chakra is associated with the color violet or white. We use the seventh chakra as a tool to communicate with our spiritual nature. It is through this vortice that the life force is dispersed from the universe into the lower 6 chakras. It has been referred to as our "GOD SOURCE" - but this terminology might be confusing to anyone who equates God with religious dogma, because of this I choose to call it a spiritual connection or communicator. This chakra is often pictured as a lotus flower opening to allow spiritual awakening in an individual. The crown chakra could also be considered the well intuitive knowing is drawn from.
