Sahasrara

Sahasrara is depicted as a violet or white thousand-petaled lotus. Symbolically placed above the crown of the head, it completes the ascending system of seven chakras. Its many petals suggest the full potential of consciousness, while the emblem represents wholeness, contemplation, connection to a greater whole, and the search for meaning. Esoteric reading: modern yogic and occult systems use this sign as a meditation mandala for attuning the corresponding subtle-energy center and contemplating its qualities. It is a spiritual map for practice, not an anatomical diagram.
