This is my second attempt at doing this chakra. The first version was only posted to Flickr. I really wasn't happy with the first version. It was extremely noisy due to rendering at a lower quality, and it just seemed "off". I'm really happy with this version. I have some others created which I'll be uploading shortly. Made in Apophysis with copious amounts of Photoshop. A full view is needed to see the details. 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.
