From seeker to spiritual adept

[Peregrinus]

when I get to seven I usually envision a curve out around my body back down to chakra one. To me, this is like a toroidal "torsion field" shape a la Wilcock's work. So I try to step up to the next octave within my own system instead of trying to find a separate eighth chakra outside the system. I just keep walking up the octaves within my chakra system like that until I feel like stopping.

Using this imaging might be limiting your influx of violet ray activity in addition to use of the violet ray in that you close your "circuit", as it were.. I would as you to consider that it may be more helpful to use imagery of the top of ones head to be opening to the sky (or stars or universe) and visualizing crystalized energy falling onto ones head and shoulders, permeating the body from above.
