The Sahasrāra Cakra - Fostering Gratitude
There are seven major energy centers in our body, called cakras in Sanskrit. They are directly connected to our emotions and impact different aspects of our personality and the way we relate to ourselves, others, and to Existence.
Each planet resonates with a particular energy center in the body. The expanded characteristics of Jupiter in Sagittarius are connected to sahasrāra cakra, located at the top of the head. Sahasrāra flowers when you start giving gratitude towards the whole, existence, regardless of what happens to you. This unfolds with beautiful devotion, trust and a deep love for life. This devotion can directly fulfill the native who has a natural capacity for feeling fulfilled and enjoying life to its fullest.
Depression can be a side effect from the native's not letting this aspect of himself grow. The constant discontentment that blocks this cakra brings emotional restlessness and ultimately drains his system, creating chronic depression.
You should keep an eye on your diet, which can be extreme when depression or low moods assail you. Sagittarius can be prone to bulimia and seeking sweets to counterbalance a lack of affection.
To keep sahasrāra balanced, to develop awareness and experience how you can flower by sharing your generosity, optimism will benefit you. You can give this teaching a try today: ‘suffocate others with your gratitude’. This attitude will give contentment and the expansion you are seeking.
A balanced sahasrāra cakra will manifest a broad and generous personality, one that radiates bliss.
