Where is Your Atlas Chakra?

The “atlas chakra” is a modern energy concept, not part of traditional systems in Hinduism. It refers to the point at the top of the spine—where the skull meets the neck (the atlas vertebra).

This area is often described as a bridge between the physical body and higher awareness, sitting just below the Crown Chakra. It’s associated with alignment, clarity, and the flow of energy between the mind and body.

In energy work, it’s sometimes seen as a “reset point” for the nervous system—supporting release of tension, improved awareness, and a feeling of being both grounded and connected.
