Violet Chakra

The violet chakra, also called the crown chakra, is about as heavenward as one can be, just as red (root chakra) is as earthy as one can be. One is not better than another, they are simply different aspects of the whole. The violet chakra relates to the top of the head and the pineal gland and lofty spiritual ideas and insights. It is the location where spiritual knowledge and inspiration come into the body and according to some sources it is also from where "the dark side of spirit" can enter. Just as golden is the seat of the Mother of All Things, violet is the seat of the Father of All Things. It is located on top of the head and projects anteriorly (frontward) from about the level of the hairline at the top of the forehead. The color is lavender like the amethyst stone or the sky can get at sunset, a soft purple/pink as seen on the outer edge of a rainbow.

People with violet present in the 4th level tend to be intellectuals who are quite comfortable with abstract thought, yet often have difficulty accessing their bodies and feelings. College professors, "high in their ivory towers", ministers "high up on their pulpits", and senators, "high up on Capitol Hill" in Washington, as well as most republican congressmen, all typically have violet for their 4th level chakra (and typically just have one chakra present in the 4th level as well). "Father Knows Best" and is almost always a white male! Am I painting a good stereotype here? Violet balances the yellow and is a higher octave of aspects of yellow.

As the mother centers become more prevalent in people, we will hopefully continue to see a world with more diverse color (chakras), where the violet and indigo no longer dominate. We need to become whole which means reaching our potential of having all 12 chakras present in all 4 levels (here I am, preaching like a violet!). Seriously though, there is a planetary bias toward the violet and indigo with strong denial and inability to access the rest of our human spectrum of potential. People have been programmed that higher (violet/indigo) is better and therefore the rest of the spectrum is inferior/lower, thus denying the parts of our being necessary to become more whole.
