Sahasrara - Thought / Knowledge
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.

Meditation to help balance the Crown Chakra (Enlightened)
Breathe in, and come up. Hold it. Release. The crown chakra.. It is like a thousand-petalled lotus opening upward from the top of your head. This "fontanelle" is where you enter and exit the physical body as a soul evolving through endless incarnations and forms.
The glands are the pituitary and thalamus, deep in the brain. The color is luminous super-natural violet, reaching up to the brilliant white of pure cosmic consciousness itself.
In the throat center, you are knowledge. In the eyebrow center you are intuition. In the crown you are wisdom.
Here are the laws of the universe understood. You see beyond birth and death. You know the universality of awareness that transcends the small self. You perceive on the soul level, and everything is Divine, Infinite, Spiritual.. including this Self.
Beyond language and concepts, insight is complete, understanding vast. Fullness and emptiness are the same, and nothing is lacking. There is no difference between creation and creator. You are fully conscious of your part in the manifestation of reality, in the constant re-creation of this world, and the sustenance of the precious physical vehicle, your body. Bliss is a fundamental truth of existence. The Universe is your home. You are none other than the Ancient One, the pure and full Awareness of God. Nothing is required of this One.
Here is Enlightenment- not something to attain, but what you already are in essence: master of body, mind, and emotions, karma, and destiny. You realize your birthright, the bliss of re-absorption into the Universe, while in this body. Spiritually, there are no needs. A perfect instrument of the Great Plan, you effortlessly contribute to the evolution of humanity and the planet towards Enlightenment. You are fulfilling this destiny right now. All colors together become white. An iridescent fountain of pure, brilliant white energy surges up from the earth, through your root center. You feel it stimulate your glands, warm your belly, fill your heart, resonate in your voice, vibrate your ears, eyes and brain, and shoot out the top of your head - a brilliant white fountain of pure universal energy - shining from your head into the sky and deep space beyond. You are a wide open conduit, free at every level. You expand your awareness over and around the physical body, remaining connected to the source, and centered in the world.
As you breathe freely, you know yourself as a pure channel transmitting (and transmuting) energy between earth and heaven, in perfect balance and equanimity. You are full of potential power, yet totally comfortable within this center of silence.
A pure and perfect, highly polished, extremely hard diamond crystal, rests in the center of a delicately beautiful, soft pink lotus flower in full blossom. Spontaneously intuiting the union of these two forms, knowing is now from the crown chakra level..
You have traveled long and far, from darkness, fear, and total isolation, through the development of interpersonal relationships and discovery of the world, and ever-expanding dimensions, ever finer states of awareness, until you finally realize your connection - indeed your identity with -the whole of the Universe. Remain open at all levels, and savor in the silence, the experience of knowing your true Self, as infinite, whole and holy.
