SOUL STAR CHAKRA - Gateway to the Divine

"Know thyself" - spoken in wisdom, by many, from many different cultures, philosophies & religions...


Finally! We’re at the last 2 installments for my series of Chakra posts! I hope you’ve found them useful in your healing journey. I started this series with Earth Star - What it is & Why you should Know - in July 2023 and finally finishing it with our Soul Star, in July 2025! I have loved compiling this blog series and learnt so much in the process. I hope it empowers you on your healing journey.


The 8th Chakra, our Soul Star (Sutara or Vyapini chakra) is located approx.15cm above the Crown chakra and is the first of our Higher Chakra, or Transpersonal, system. This is the other energy centre, along with the Thymus, or Higher Heart, chakra, believed to be the seat of the soul. Like a storage vault for your soul, this chakra carries all the information for your soul’s past & present purpose for being here. It is your direct connection to your Higher Self, your past lives, your karmic past & Akashic Records.


Again, as with our Earth Star, the colour of this chakra varies, depending on who you ask. It is often described as white-gold, or even sea green, but during healing sessions with clients it has also been shown to me as magenta...so I feel this is something to be tuned into individually. In Kundalini yoga, the 8th chakra is believed to be the electromagnetic field around our body, or our aura, rather than an energy centre above our heads.


The Soul Star chakra governs -

  • Divine love, compassion, selflessness & karmic remnants.

  • It is our gateway between divine energy & our own, human, energetic system.

  • Ascension & enlightenment, it is our ‘I TRANSCEND’ chakra.

  • Our spiritual abilities, such as inner knowing, empathy, telepathy, and our skills with the Clairs (Claircognizance etc), awaken and develop here.

  • Connection to Higher Self

  • Connection to the Akashic Records

  • Soul Contracts and past lives

  • Soul purpose

  • Emotional balance, mental clarity

  • the ability to look beyond our physical body's capabilities.


Chakra imbalances can show as under or over active, in many different ways. As our Soul Star chakra is outside of our physical body, in the etheric, and not connected to any glands or systems, its imbalances do not usually include physical symptoms. Blockages of this chakra show up more as energetic or spiritual imbalances, similar to those of the Crown chakra, as they are closely linked.


When our Soul Star is out of balance it can show up as -

  • feeling lost or without purpose

  • feeling disconnected from the collective community or from our body & the earth,

  • feeling ungrounded, unbalanced, gets lost in thought

  • lack of boundaries,

  • distrust of the world

  • confused about our earthly/spiritual connection,

  • confusion about spiritual path or soul purpose

  • trapped in illusions of the ego,

  • inability to surrender to things beyond their control,

  • obsessive spirituality, gets lost in the idea of past lives, escapist tendencies


It may be quite the journey to activate & bring your Soul Star into balance, as it requires working through clearing & aligning the chakras beneath it, but there are ways to work on it and I will cover those in my final post on the Chakras.
