Where divine awareness meets cosmic transcendence.
You’ve read our Complete Chakra Guide (If not, here’s your chance!), but now we’re diving even deeper into each chakra’s endless energy pools. We know spiritual soul searching requires attention and intention, so we’re here with some tips to help you discover and explore the power of your seventh chakra: the mystical crown chakra.
What is a Crown Chakra?
The crown chakra, the seventh and final chakra, is located at the very top of the head. When properly aligned, this chakra connects our higher selves to the universe, transcends our conscious mind, and explores inner wisdom. So, what does that really mean for us?
The crown chakra, or Sahasrara, is a complex lotus flower that blooms in our subconscious mind. The crown chakra is the magical bridge between body and soul. Some cultures even believe this is where the soul exits the body after death. Because this chakra’s energy is centered at the very top of the chakra ladder, closest to the stars and vast universe above, unlocking its energy is key to developing a higher sense of growth, spirituality, and universal consciousness.
Your crown chakra rules over thought, universal consciousness, spirituality, and enlightenment. A balanced crown chakra can bring simple bliss, defy your mental limitations, and help you understand and accept the bigger picture.
What Happens if My Crown Chakra Is Imbalanced?
If you’re asking yourself whether or not your crown chakra is imbalanced, it probably is. Since chakras are spinning centers of psychic power, they require constant care and practice to remain balanced. It’s not a one-and-done experience. If you’ve been slacking on your chakra cleansing rituals (i.e., crystal healing, meditative practices, yoga, mindfulness, etc.), your crown chakra probably needs some attention.
An imbalanced crown chakra means overall feelings of disconnect, often manifesting as anxiety, feeling unmotivated, migraines, trouble sleeping, and an inability to find meaningfulness in the bigger picture.
What Happens When My Crown Chakra Is Open?
An open crown chakra feels like an unwavering trust in your intuition, an openness to letting go of what doesn’t serve us, and knowing that we are all a part of something bigger than ourselves. Balancing this chakra means feeling at peace with yourself, your beliefs, nature, and others. Your physical body intertwines with your soul and the universe as they dance around clarity, wisdom, and enlightenment. Everything happens for a reason, and it’s all relative!
Basically, you’re as Zen as it gets. NBD!
So, How Can I Balance My Crown Chakra?
There are many ways to balance and open a blocked crown chakra; we promise it’s easier than you think!
1. Crystal Healing
Crystal therapy is an amazing way to target specific aspects of your energetic life that need some TLC! Crystals and healing stones have been around for centuries and are believed to aid in protection, manifestation, and realigning positive energies. Pro tip: Amethyst, Selenite, and Moonstone will be your crown chakra’s new best friends.
2. Meditation
The great thing about meditation is that it looks different for everyone. Practice mindfulness, experiment with singing bowls, but most importantly, prioritize meditation while focusing on your crown chakra whenever you have some free time.
3. Get Outside
It’s all about nature. Reconnecting and maintaining a steady relationship with the outside world is essential to unlocking this chakra’s celestial powers. Whether you take a morning walk (bonus points if you’re barefoot) or dedicate a few minutes to being outside daily, your crown chakra will thank you.
4. Daily Affirmations
It might seem silly, but routine manifestation is a real thing! Repeating and reminding yourself of some key phrases can make all the difference. Try these:
- I am at peace.
- I am one with the universe.
- I trust and accept myself.
- I am exactly where I should be.
5. Keep a Dream Journal
Keeping a dream journal is a great way to keep your mind and memory sharp. Your subconscious mind may be trying to communicate with you via your dreams. Recording your dreams, good or bad, can make understanding your underlying feelings, emotions, and subconscious thoughts easier.
The Crown Chakra FAQS:
What Are the Benefits of Opening My Crown Chakra?
Some people believe the crown chakra to be the most important chakra to master mentally. Maintaining an open crown chakra is described as pure bliss and feeling entirely at peace and calm, even when faced with stress, pressure, or negativity. You are firmly rooted in yourself, the universe, and a strong belief system that supports the present moment and divine awareness.
What Is Chakra Cleansing?
Chakra cleansing refers to balancing or opening your chakras or a single chakra. These cleansing rituals focus on unblocking the chakra, releasing negative or stale energy, and working toward promoting openness and spiritual balance. Crystals, meditation, exercise, yoga, mindfulness, and reconnecting with nature are just a few chakra-engaging activities.
What Is the Crown Chakraโs Aura Color?
The crown chakra’s aura color is violet or sometimes glowing white. This aura color develops when you’ve reached a higher spiritual power, successfully connecting to your crown chakra, which can take a lifetime or may not even happen for some.
