It receives spiritual energy from cosmic sources, and processes energy flowing up from the lower chakras. A block in this chakra disrupts or prevents flow of spiritual energy in either direction. Life now becomes stagnant and meaningless. All possibilities for spiritual growth will cease and the physical body will eventually die when this chakra is blocked. A proper balancing of this chakra will release information of our higher self with our physical body.
