Step into your Soul’s True Essence
The 8th chakra
Let’s explore what the Soul Star Chakra is, how it influences your wellbeing, and ways you can work with it to receive guidance, clarity, and deeper spiritual alignment.
Beyond the traditional seven chakras, there are higher energy centres that expand our consciousness even further. In the world of energy healing, the Soul Star takes on a unique and powerful position, acting as a bridge and connecting you directly to divine wisdom, soul purpose, and universal love.

Understanding the Soul Star Chakra? Unveiling Your Bridge to Ultimate Soul Awareness
Often referred to as the 'seat of the soul', where personal energy meets universal energy, fostering a deeper connection and understanding of one's existence, the Soul Star Chakra symbolises our ultimate soul awareness and is associated with enlightenment. Located just above the crown - approximately 15-30cm (6-12 inches), the Soul Star Chakra is associated with the element of the Universal Soul.
The Soul Star Chakra is the point from where divine love and spiritual energy enter the body, it is connected to our spiritual gifts and higher purpose.
When the Soul Star is functioning in a harmonious state you may experience signs such as a heightened sense of purpose, expanded consciousness, and enhanced intuition.

Signs of Imbalance - When the Soul Star Chakra is blocked or underactive
Let’s look at some examples of how these symptoms can manifest in daily life.
Physical symptoms: A feeling of persistent lethargy, a heavy or pressurised sensation at the top of the head, chronic tension in the neck and shoulders, or a sense of being physically “unplugged” from your own body. In daily life: You may wake up tired despite a full night’s sleep, experience frequent headaches without a medical cause, or feel inexplicably clumsy and uncoordinated.
Emotional symptoms: A sense of profound spiritual loneliness, disconnection from any higher purpose, emotional numbness, or a pervasive feeling that life is meaningless or random. In daily life: You might go through the motions of work and relationships but feel hollow inside, struggle to find joy in activities you once loved, or feel envious of others who seem to have a “spiritual connection” you cannot access.
Behavioural symptoms: A pattern of avoiding anything spiritual or introspective, cynically dismissing metaphysical topics, over-reliance on logic and material proof, or compulsively seeking external validation through achievements or possessions. In daily life: You may roll your eyes when someone mentions meditation, refuse to try yoga or breathwork, fill every waking moment with distraction (social media, TV, busywork), or feel anxious when sitting in silence.
Spiritual symptoms: A blocked foundation disrupts the flow of divine energy from the higher self into the earthly self, causing a feeling of being cut off from guidance, intuition, past-life wisdom, or any sense of cosmic belonging. In daily life: You might pray or meditate but feel like no one is listening, experience recurring nightmares or a sense of a “veil” too thick to pierce, lose faith in synchronicities, or feel that your life has no soul-level purpose whatsoever.

Enhancing your Soul Star Connection
You work to balance your Crown Chakra to connect with the divine, but what expands that connection beyond the limits of the physical self? The answer lies in its perfect counterpart: the Soul Star Chakra. As our gateway to the higher realms, this transcendent energy centre completes the circuit—allowing spiritual wisdom to flow from the infinite into your consciousness.
Are you feeling blocked, heavy, or unable to access your higher guidance? It’s time to look up and open your awareness to the luminous field above your head. The Soul Star Chakra invites you to dissolve the boundaries of ego and step into your soul’s true essence—where divine inspiration, past-life knowledge, and cosmic purpose converge.
