DEFINITION, PURPOSE, AND HEALING PROPERTIES OF THE ALTA MAJOR
The Alta Major Chakra, also referred to as the "Well of Dreams" or the "Mouth of God," is a lesser-known energy center in the human body. Located at the base of the skull, where the head meets the spine, this chakra is considered crucial in connecting the spiritual and physical realms. It serves as a bridge between the higher and lower chakras, particularly linking the third eye (Ajna Chakra) and the crown chakra.
Definition of the Alta Major Chakra
The Alta Major Chakra is often described as a gateway for higher spiritual knowledge. It lies between the base of the skull (near the occipital bone) and the top of the cervical spine. This chakra governs the communication between the individual’s personal will and divine will, facilitating the alignment of one’s thoughts, words, and actions with higher spiritual truths. It is sometimes referred to as the “Well of Dreams” because of its role in opening up pathways to higher consciousness, spiritual visions, and dreams.
Purpose of the Alta Major Chakra
The purpose of the Alta Major Chakra is multifaceted:
Spiritual Connection and Alignment: It serves as an important point of alignment between the lower chakras, which deal with material and emotional aspects, and the higher chakras, which are concerned with spiritual enlightenment and cosmic awareness. When the Alta Major Chakra is activated, it harmonizes the communication between these energies, facilitating spiritual ascension and higher levels of consciousness.
Pathway for Divine Inspiration: This chakra is regarded as a channel through which divine ideas, intuitive guidance, and spiritual inspiration can flow into the mind. It is linked to the pineal and pituitary glands, which are believed to play a significant role in accessing higher spiritual dimensions.
Connection to the Akashic Records: According to certain esoteric teachings, including those of Djwal Khul (as channeled by Alice Bailey), the Alta Major Chakra can serve as a portal to the Akashic Records—energetic archives that contain the knowledge of all events, thoughts, and emotions from all time.
Healing Properties of the Alta Major Chakra
Enhances Clarity and Intuition: When balanced and activated, the Alta Major Chakra improves mental clarity, sharpens intuition, and fosters spiritual insight. It allows individuals to access inner wisdom and perceive beyond the physical senses.
Balancing Energies: This chakra plays a key role in balancing the energies of the mind and body with the Spirit. It enhances one’s ability to tune into divine guidance and make decisions that align with higher truth.
Facilitates Healing of the Nervous System: As this chakra is located near the brainstem, it is associated with the nervous system and brain function. Clearing blockages in the Alta Major Chakra can improve nerve transmission, aid in healing neurological disorders, and enhance overall brain health.
Unlocks Dream and Visionary States: The Alta Major Chakra’s nickname, the “Well of Dreams,” is appropriate given its connection to deep visionary states, prophetic dreams, and the reception of spiritual messages through the dream realm.
Supports Ascension: Many ascended master teachings, including those of Djwal Khul, associate the Alta Major Chakra with the process of ascension—the journey of raising one’s vibration to align with divine consciousness. Activating this chakra accelerates the individual’s spiritual evolution, fostering deeper connection to the divine.
Djwal Khul on the Alta Major Chakra
In the writings of Alice Bailey, Djwal Khul (the Tibetan Master) touches on the significance of the Alta Major Chakra, albeit indirectly. Djwal Khul’s teachings emphasize the importance of integrating the spiritual and physical realms, and this chakra plays a central role in that integration. According to Bailey’s Esoteric Healing, Djwal Khul described the Alta Major as part of a triangle of energy involving the third eye and the crown chakra. This energetic triangle, when fully activated, serves as a potent spiritual receptor and transmitter of higher knowledge.
Djwal Khul taught that humanity is evolving toward a greater capacity for spiritual telepathy—where knowledge is intuitively known rather than learned through the intellect. The Alta Major Chakra is central to this process. It helps connect individuals with the divine mind, allowing them to bypass lower, egoic thought processes and access the divine will more easily.
In A Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Djwal Khul also suggests that when the Alta Major Chakra is activated, it can lead to the awakening of latent spiritual abilities, such as clairvoyance, clairaudience, and even the ability to transmit healing energy to others. This process is often gradual and linked with one's overall spiritual development and purification.
Healing and Activation of the Alta Major Chakra
Healing the Alta Major Chakra often involves addressing blockages in communication with the higher self and divine realms. Practices such as:
Meditation: Focused on the area at the base of the skull to facilitate a clearer connection to higher guidance.
Sound Healing: Vibrational sound frequencies can help align and activate the Alta Major Chakra.
Energy Healing: Modalities like Reiki or other energy work can be used to clear blockages in this chakra and realign it with the spiritual centers.
Visualizing golden or violet light surrounding the base of the skull during meditation can also assist in awakening this chakra. Djwal Khul often spoke of the importance of "purifying the subtle bodies" as a precursor to chakra activation, emphasizing that the physical, emotional, and mental bodies must be in harmony for spiritual development to occur.
Symptoms of an Imbalanced Alta Major
An imbalanced Alta Major Chakra can manifest through a variety of physical, emotional, and spiritual symptoms. Since this chakra plays a key role in connecting the higher spiritual centers with the physical body, any blockages or imbalances can disrupt the flow of energy between them. Here are some common signs of an imbalanced Alta Major Chakra:
Physical Symptoms:
Headaches or Migraines: Frequent or persistent headaches, particularly at the base of the skull, are a common sign of imbalance in this area.
Neck Stiffness or Pain: Tension, stiffness, or pain in the neck and upper spine can occur, as this chakra is located near the cervical vertebrae.
Vertigo or Dizziness: Issues with balance or dizziness can result from disrupted energy flow through this chakra.
Insomnia or Disrupted Sleep: Since the Alta Major Chakra is connected to dreams and higher consciousness, disturbances here may cause difficulty sleeping or frequent waking during the night.
Tingling Sensations in the Head or Neck: Some may experience unusual sensations, such as tingling or pressure at the base of the skull or along the neck.
Emotional and Mental Symptoms:
Confusion or Lack of Mental Clarity: An imbalanced Alta Major Chakra can lead to difficulty focusing, brain fog, or a sense of mental disorientation.
Disconnection from Intuition: Struggling to access inner guidance or feeling disconnected from your intuition and higher self is a key indicator of imbalance.
Difficulty Communicating Spiritual Experiences: This chakra plays a role in aligning the personal and divine will. A block here may make it difficult to express spiritual ideas, understandings, or insights to others.
Overwhelm or Anxiety: The inability to process spiritual information properly can lead to feelings of overwhelm or heightened anxiety, especially in situations where one is working with deep inner growth or spiritual practices.
Spiritual Symptoms:
Blocked Spiritual Connection: A sense of disconnection from higher guidance, divine wisdom, or the sense of not receiving spiritual insights can arise from an imbalanced Alta Major Chakra.
Lack of Dream Recall or Spiritual Dreams: As the Alta Major is often referred to as the “Well of Dreams,” disturbances may result in an inability to recall dreams, or a loss of spiritual or prophetic dream experiences.
Difficulty in Ascension or Spiritual Growth: Since this chakra plays a key role in the ascension process, blockages here can slow or hinder one’s spiritual development.
Disconnection from Higher Chakras: If this chakra is out of balance, it may be harder to access the energies of the Third Eye and Crown Chakras, leading to a fragmented sense of higher self-awareness.
Energetic Symptoms:
Feeling Unbalanced or Out of Alignment: One may feel "off," as if the body and spirit are not fully aligned or as though there is an energetic blockage preventing the free flow of energy through the chakras.
Blocked Telepathic Abilities: If you have a developed or emerging gift for spiritual telepathy or intuitive knowing, a blocked Alta Major Chakra can inhibit these abilities.
Nervous System Imbalances: Since the Alta Major Chakra is closely connected to the brainstem and the nervous system, blockages here can create energetic disturbances that manifest as nervous tension or emotional instability.
Balancing the Alta Major Chakra through meditation, energy healing, and working with spiritual guides can restore these imbalances, leading to clearer spiritual insight, deeper intuitive connection, and greater harmony within the energy body.
The Alta Major and Its Connection to Other Chakras
Recognizing the symptoms of an imbalanced Alta Major Chakra is only the beginning. To fully support healing, it’s essential to understand how this chakra functions within the dynamic triangle formed with the Crown and 6th Chakras. Recognizing the symptoms of an imbalanced Alta Major Chakra is only the first step. Understanding how this chakra works within the Crown, Ajna, and Alta Major triangle provides deeper insight into its healing potential. Djwal Khul’s teachings in Esoteric Healing highlight the importance of activating this triangle to support energy flow for balance and spiritual growth. This technique harmonizes these chakras, facilitating healing, clarity, and a stronger connection to higher realms.

Does the Direction of Energy Flow Matter?
In esoteric traditions, there is less emphasis on a fixed direction for energy flow; rather, the subtle body’s energy system is seen as fluid and responsive. Energy can flow in either direction, depending on what is required for balance and alignment at any given moment. Initially, energy may flow in a particular direction, but over time, it may become more multidirectional or work as one larger energy center.
For example:
From Crown to Ajna to Alta Major: This might represent divine inspiration flowing from the higher spiritual realms, becoming clearer in the 6th Chakra (inner vision,) and then anchoring into the physical body through the Alta Major.
From Alta Major to Ajna to Crown: This direction could represent spiritual experiences and insights that originate from within, rising to conscious awareness and then connecting to higher spiritual understanding.
Cyclic and Reciprocal Flow: In energy work, it’s common to feel energy moving both upward and downward, creating a dynamic exchange. The Crown Chakra, as the highest center, receives divine guidance and energy, which flows into the 6th Chakra, opening the mind to new perspectives. The Alta Major, acting as a bridge between spirit and body, helps integrate this higher understanding into daily awareness. Energy can also flow upward, aligning lower centers with higher spiritual consciousness as they are purified. Both directions contribute to spiritual alignment.
Harmonious Activation and Balance: Djwal Khul’s teachings highlight the importance of activating and balancing all three centers—Crown, Ajna, and Alta Major. When these chakras are aligned, they form a relational field that supports spiritual insight, telepathic connection, and divine communion. The energy moves fluidly, adapting to the individual’s needs and state of spiritual development, ensuring a balanced interplay between spiritual reception and physical embodiment.
Ultimately, the specific direction of flow is less important than achieving a harmonious functioning of this triangle. The focus should be on awakening and balancing these chakras, allowing energy to flow naturally in response to spiritual needs and fostering a sense of inner alignment and wholeness.
Conclusion
The Alta Major Chakra is a crucial yet often overlooked energy center that serves as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms. It plays a pivotal role in balancing energies, enhancing mental clarity, and facilitating spiritual ascension by linking the Crown and Ajna Chakras. Whether through meditation, sound healing, or energy work, balancing the Alta Major Chakra can open pathways to divine wisdom, intuitive insight, and deeper spiritual connection. Its proper activation is vital for spiritual growth and aligning the mind and body with higher consciousness. Integrating practices that focus on this chakra can promote healing, unlock visionary states, and support your journey toward ascension and inner harmony.
