With Holy Thorn there is an opening of the crown chakra, with a greater willingness to work with a Christ-energy connection. It will allow a deeper attunement to any particular spiritual avenue to which one wishes to attune. It is best to have a specific idea in mind when you take Holy Thorn. When you have a deep consciousness upon a particular deity, planet, star, the Sun, or with some aspect of Christ consciousness, taking Holy Thorn allows a fusion of the essential energy behind the spiritual idea or ideal. It may be best to use this by itself with the above attunements in mind.
