Transpersonal chakras: Earth Star, Soul Star, and Divine Gateway (meditation included)

Cristina Balan Written byCristina Balan

After working together evening after evening on all seven main chakras, we went further, to the chakras outside the body. We call them transpersonal chakras: two lie beneath our feet, in the Earth — Earth Star and Gaia Gateway — and two above the head — Soul Star and Divine Gateway. There is very little information about them, so I mainly share what I experienced when activating them.

Working on them together transforms you into a column of light: you draw light from above down to the Earth’s center while remaining firmly on your feet.

But do not jump straight here. If you have not worked on the seven chakras in the body, begin with them — from below, with the root chakra, and rise to the crown chakra. Without a foundation, you will struggle to feel them.

What transpersonal chakras are

Distances vary between people; I explain how I perceive my own:

Chakra Location Color Function
Gaia Gateway about 60 cm below ground black, like the Earth second anchor, connection to the Earth’s center
Earth Star 10–40 cm beneath the soles (about 30 cm for me) brown (also dark red, black) grounding, safety, balance
Soul Star (chakra 8) 15–30 cm above the head white soul memory, past lives
Divine Gateway about 60 cm above the head white, immaculate light gateway to God

Gaia Gateway and Divine Gateway work together: they are the extreme points of your system. When you connect them above and below, energy can rise along the spine toward the chakras above the head while you remain firmly grounded.

The Earth Star chakra: your anchor

Earth Star (in English, Earth Star chakra) lies beneath the soles. Some feel it at 10–15 cm, others at 30–40 cm; I perceive mine at about 30 cm. Its color is brown — and I admit I have never had brown clothes; it was not my color.

If you often drift ‘into the stars’, work on the root chakra and this one too. Think of a ship: if life’s waves come and you are not well anchored, they can overturn you. If you are anchored, it is completely different.

Through Earth Star:

  • You connect with Gaia. The planet is alive, a being too, holding us all — and we forget to thank her.
  • You balance your energies. It settles and calms you. It is very good for those who become angry quickly or experience everything intensely.
  • You give the planet old energies and receive new ones. The Earth knows how to alchemize. What rots becomes compost, and from compost a new plant grows — alchemy without destruction. This also helps with old karmic energies.
  • It helps you manifest. Those who stay only in the upper chakras are ‘ungrounded’ — they struggle to make money and manifest in matter.

A story about energy given to someone else

I realized this chakra’s connection with abundance when I ended a business relationship that was going poorly. I meditated in relation to that person to reclaim my energies: I give him what is his and take what is mine. And I felt that my Earth Star energy was actually with him. I saw it return as white light. After ending the relationship, my business improved.

Signs Earth Star is blocked

You cannot see it, but feel it. If you do not feel it at all, it is probably inactive. When blocked:

  • You are not grounded — you feel lost and insecure.
  • You are afraid and have various anxieties.
  • Your money is not enough.
  • You have many negative thoughts.

When it is open, you feel safe. You receive what comes with greater wisdom — like a king in your castle, but a very grounded one. If anxiety or fears are strong and do not pass, also speak to a doctor or psychologist; energetic work can support you but does not replace specialist help.

What supports Earth Star

  • Walking barefoot. At home, through grass, nature, or your garden if you have one. Go outside daily and visit a park at least twice a week.
  • Gardening. There is no greater pleasure or simpler grounding.
  • The symbol: two triangles within each other — a star tetrahedron, like a merkaba. It is a symbol of all humanity, not just one people. Visualize and spin it.
  • Mountain pose (tadasana) in yoga: feel roots growing from your soles toward Gaia.
  • Schumann resonance. I listened to it often on my spiritual journey; you can sleep with it playing.
  • Black and dark-red crystals: obsidian (cleanses very well), hematite, red jasper, black tourmaline, shungite. When I urgently need grounding, I bathe with crystals and sleep with a few beside me.
  • Root vegetables: potatoes, carrots, radishes — everything growing in the ground. Also peanuts and beans.
  • 15 minutes on a blanket on the ground. You connect with the Earth and recharge so simply.

For everything concerning grounding, you can also find the all-chakra collection.

And pace your spirituality. When energies rise, the mind and ego become frightened. If you feel you are flying too high or are afraid, ground yourself and stay in 3D a little longer: rise, ground, rise, ground.

Affirmations for Earth Star

They can be affirmations, but above all a reality you become conscious of:

  • ‘I am grounded in the Earth, in peace and harmony with nature.’
  • ‘I am part of the Earth. It holds me.’
  • ‘I am connected with the Earth. The Earth nourishes me.’
  • ‘Fears and anxieties are illusions.’

The Earth Star meditation: the steps

I did it lying on a blanket. If you fall asleep, that is fine.

  1. Lie down and breathe deeply. Let your body settle on the Earth or whatever supports you. You are safe.
  2. Bring your consciousness to every body part touching the ground. Feel the contact points.
  3. Let old energies flow into the Earth. Everything you no longer need now. Free yourself.
  4. Feel the Earth beneath you and the safety it gives you.
  5. Find your anchor. About twenty centimeters beneath the ground is your chakra, shaped as a tetrahedron. Feel your body’s energies descending into it.
  6. Spin the two triangles. Earth Star has alchemizing power. Let it flow and feel yourself becoming lighter.
  7. Feel how welcoming the planet is toward you. Trust your chakra in the Earth: through its spinning, it knows where to take every energy.
  8. Receive the Earth’s gifts. Take the flow to the Earth’s center, draw energy from there, and move it through your whole body.
  9. Give the planet any energy that hurts you. She knows how to alchemize it. Your suffering was not in vain; there is a greater purpose in what you experienced, and the planet can help you get through this moment.
  10. Leave everything old with Gaia. Like a plant, draw new energy and grow. There is no separation: you belong to everything around you.
  11. Return and look at the world from a new perspective. Spend two or three minutes noticing reality’s beauty. The planet’s love is unconditional, a feminine, nourishing energy — thank her.

You can find the complete meditation, guided by me, in the Earth Star chakra livestream, from minute 29.

Gaia Gateway: the second anchor

Beneath Earth Star, at about sixty centimeters, there is another chakra: Gaia Gateway (Gaia Gateway). Its color is black, like dark Earth. It functions as a second anchor for high-frequency light — both in your physical body and the Earth’s energy body.

When I accessed it in consciousness, I felt the vibration inside the Earth was higher than at the surface: we give it old energies and take something higher.

It is easier to activate than the upper chakras because it is of the Earth: you let yourself resonate with the Earth. It is like threading a needle: if you keep missing, it does not work, but the moment you have the right vibration, it goes in. The crystals are still black ones, and the foods are the same as for the root and Earth Star.

Soul Star (chakra 8)

Soul Star (Soul Star chakra) is considered the eighth chakra. It is above the head at 15–30 centimeters, and its color is generally white. It stores all your soul’s knowledge.

A simple example: déjà vu. How often have you felt you lived a situation before, even since childhood? Or dreams so real you seem to have lived them? They are memories from past lives — not all gates are closed; we simply do not attend to them. I wrote in depth about soul memory in the article on past lives and Akashic Records.

But stay anchored in the present: the only thing truly existing is ‘I am, here and now’.

Why the connection with the soul matters

You need a good connection with your soul even if you live only in 3D. Your soul nourishes you with energy, and you are here to learn the lessons it wants to learn — more easily if you listen to its intuitive path, even if your mind finds it illogical.

I was at war with my soul: the ego did not accept the program the soul had made, and the inner war manifested outside. Body, heart, inner child, mind, soul — if they fight each other, you cannot have harmony outside. List what each part of you wants.

What supports Soul Star

  • White crystals: quartz, selenite.
  • The 963 Hz frequency. You can sleep with it playing.
  • Pranayama, breathing practices. They really help.
  • Meditation with a bubble of light that is white or golden, with yourself inside it.
  • High-vibration foods: newly sprouted wheat (the sprouts), cacao, spices, and white foods — garlic, cauliflower, coconut.
  • Water with crystals. Place a crystal or two in a carafe. You can also read a prayer over the water.

For Soul Star’s white vibration, the store offers Conexiunea Sufletului oil, and the white candle below is scented with it — you can light it during meditation or prayer.

The affirmation for Soul Star

‘I am one with the Universe. I access divine wisdom effortlessly. Having wisdom is my divine right.’

And at soul level: ‘What is mine remains mine. I undo every contract except the one with the Source.’

Divine Gateway: opening toward God

Above Soul Star, about sixty centimeters above the head, is Divine Gateway (Divine Gateway or Stellar Gateway). It is the Universe’s gateway, the gateway to God. Its color is white — white, pure, immaculate light.

The gateway to God is always open. Only our psyche has the illusion it is closed.

Work on these upper chakras with amethyst, white crystals, and music — my YouTube channel has playlists for every chakra that settle you into the vibration. But above all, nothing is forced here. Spirituality moves from subtlety to greater subtlety. Revelation is divine grace: you do not choose when God reveals Himself. At some point, light begins flowing from above — perhaps not all at once, especially if you have not worked on the other chakras. Let it flow.

The ‘column of light’ meditation: from Gaia Gateway to Divine Gateway

It connects you with all chakras, from black in the Earth to white above the head. Do not worry if you feel little at first: these chakras are rarely activated.

  1. Purify yourself through breathing. Inhale five times through one nostril and exhale through the other, then switch.
  2. Keep your spine straight. I sit in lotus position. When the spine is straight, the chakras align.
  3. Visualize Gaia Gateway, 60 cm beneath the ground, black.
  4. Visualize Earth Star, at 30 cm, as a tetrahedron, like a merkaba. Connect them and spin them to the right.
  5. Rise through the body’s chakras. The root, with four petals and a triangle in the middle; then the sacral, orange; solar plexus; heart, green — open your heart, you are safe; throat, blue (if you feel something like an electric current through the body, that is fine); third eye, indigo; crown — if it helps, see it as a spiral of pearls. At the end, you will be a rainbow.
  6. Pass through Soul Star, the soul’s memory, and rise to Divine Gateway, white.
  7. Become a column of light and spin the chakras. Draw a silver thread from the chakra in the Earth to the Earth’s center, and light from Divine Gateway toward God.
  8. Let light from above flow through all chakras, from Divine Gateway to Gaia Gateway and into the Earth. If you see misaligned chakras, align them. If you lose the flow, ask for more.
  9. Balance the chakras. If one is smaller than the others, send energy from one to another to enlarge it.
  10. Open the gate. Imagine Divine Gateway as a gate from which abundant white light emerges. If you see it closed, open it and let light rain over you to the Earth’s center. Do not try to understand — simply visualize.
  11. Absorb light directly from the Source. Do not fear: you have two anchors. Feel how happy the planet is — she too heals through you.
  12. Adjust the intensity. If the torrent was very strong, ask for a gentler one. High energies have infinite vibrations: some are like electricity; others are based in love. Your body knows what it needs — not the mind, the body.
  13. Return. You are one with the planet; there is no separation. You should feel revitalized and grounded again: you connected above and below simultaneously.

Frequently asked questions about transpersonal chakras

What are transpersonal chakras?

They are the chakras outside the physical body, beyond the seven main ones. Beneath the feet are Earth Star (10–40 cm, brown) and Gaia Gateway (about 60 cm, black), and above the head Soul Star (15–30 cm, white) and Divine Gateway (about 60 cm, white).

What is chakra 8?

Chakra 8 is Soul Star, 15–30 cm above the head, white. It contains the soul’s memory — déjà vu and past-life memories come from there.

Can I work on transpersonal chakras if I have not worked on the seven chakras?

You can try, but they will be difficult to feel because they are very subtle. I recommend beginning with the seven chakras in the body, from the root upward. Earth Star and Gaia Gateway are easier to activate than the upper ones because they are of the Earth.

What if I feel ‘ungrounded’ after meditation?

Ground yourself: walk barefoot, lie on a blanket on the floor, eat root vegetables, hold a black crystal. If dizziness or feeling unwell persists, seek a doctor’s advice.

How do I activate Divine Gateway?

Do not force it. First work on the other chakras; then, in meditation, visualize a gate above your head emitting white light, and let it flow through you to the Earth’s center. The gateway to God is always open; only the mind has the illusion it is closed.

You are a child of heaven and Earth. Connect them within you and let light pass through. Sending you a kiss, and I look forward to seeing you at the next livestream.
