We usually hear about the seven major chakras, but there are more! The soul star chakra is number eight and helps us connect to something bigger than ourselves. Let’s explore this amazing energy center and how it can help us shine!
What Is the Soul Star Chakra?
Think of the soul star chakra as your personal star, shining bright above your head. It’s part of a bigger energy system with twelve chakras, not just the popular seven. This energy system consists of the traditional seven chakras and five more chakras.
The soul star is the eighth chakra in the system, and it’s special because it connects us to our higher self, our soul’s purpose. While the crown chakra is our connection to the divine in the present moment, the soul star chakra goes even further. It links us to the universal consciousness, helping us understand the bigger picture of our entire existence.
Functions of the Soul Star Chakra
When your soul star chakra shines bright and balanced, it gives you a direct line to the universe and your soul. Here’s what that can feel like:
1. Deep inner peace and spiritual connection.
Imagine feeling so calm and centered that nothing can shake you. It’s like having a quiet space where you can always find peace. You might also feel strongly connected to something bigger than yourself, like nature, the universe, or a spiritual force.
2. Increased intuition and psychic abilities.
Have you ever had a gut feeling about something that turned out to be true? That’s your intuition talking! When your soul star chakra is open, your intuition gets stronger, and you may develop psychic abilities.
3. Vivid dreams and visions.
With an open soul star chakra, your dreams might become more colorful, detailed, and symbolic. They might feel like messages from your higher self or even past lives. Pay attention to these dreams as they can offer valuable insights and guidance.

5. Access to past life memories and wisdom.
Your soul star chakra is a library of your soul’s journey. When it’s open, you might be able to access memories or insights from past lives. This can help you understand your challenges, strengths, and weaknesses and make choices that align with your true purpose.

How To Open or Unblock Your Soul Star Chakra
If your soul star chakra feels a little dim or blocked, don’t worry! There are many ways to awaken and energize it. These techniques can help you connect with your higher self, tap into your soul’s purpose, and live meaningfully.
1. Soul star clearing (Energy healing).
Think of your soul star chakra like a beautiful crystal ball. Sometimes, it can get a little dusty or clouded, making it hard to see clearly. An energy healer can help you gently cleanse and clear your soul star chakra, removing any old energy or blockages holding you back. It’s like giving your crystal ball a good polish so it can shine brightly again. For this process, you can consider an energy healing modality like shamanic healing or even Reiki.
2. Meditation and breathing exercises.
Meditation can help calm your thoughts and allow you to focus on your energy centers. Breathing exercises are like a gentle breeze that helps clear away any debris. Here’s a simple meditation to try:
- Find a peaceful spot where you won’t be disturbed.
- Sit or lie down comfortably, closing your eyes.
- Take a few deep breaths, inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth.
- Imagine a beautiful white or golden light shining down from the cosmic universe and filling your physical body.
- Focus on the space above your head, where your soul star chakra is located.
- Visualize the light gently swirling around your soul star chakra, cleansing and activating it.
- Repeat affirmations like, “I am connected to my higher self,” or “I am open to receiving divine guidance.”
- Continue for a few minutes, then gently open your eyes.
3. Crystals.
Certain crystals can help activate and balance your soul star chakra. You can hold them during meditation, place them on your body, or keep them nearby. Here are a few crystals that resonate with the soul star chakra:
- Clear quartz: This master healer amplifies energy and clears away blockages.
- Selenite: This high-vibrational crystal promotes clarity and connection to the spiritual realm.
- Celestite: This angelic crystal helps you access higher realms and receive divine guidance.
4. Tuning forks.
Tuning forks are metal instruments that create specific sounds and vibrations. Certain tuning fork frequencies can help activate and align your chakras. A tuning fork with a 1074 Hz frequency is often used to stimulate the Ssoul star chakra. This sound vibration can help clear blockages and enhance your connection to the spiritual realm.
5. Healthy crown chakra.
Remember, your chakras are interconnected! A healthy and balanced crown chakra is essential for the optimal functioning of your soul star chakra. If your crown chakra is blocked or imbalanced, it can affect the energy flow to your Soul Star. So, be sure to incorporate practices that also nurture your crown chakra. This also applies to the root chakra (this is the chakra that helps with grounding!)
6. Daily affirmations.
Words hold power! Repeating positive affirmations can reprogram your subconscious mind and help open your Soul Star Chakra. Here are some affirmations to try:
- I am connected to my soul’s purpose.
- I trust my intuition and inner wisdom.
- I am open to receiving divine guidance and blessings.
- I release old patterns and limiting beliefs.
- I am a radiant being of light and love.
- I embrace my spiritual gifts and share them with the world.
- I am grateful for the lessons and blessings of my past lives.
