The Sahasrara, or Crown Chakra, is one of seven main chakras in the energy body according to Hindu belief.
Located at the top of your head, the Crown Chakra is the body’s main connection to higher consciousness. It primarily governs our sense of presence and divine awareness. Imagine a string going from the top of your head into the sky.
When your Crown Chakra is too closed, that means you’re closed-off from the energy this chakra governs.
This can lead to many signs and symptoms such as…
- Loss of meaning in life
- Disconnected from spiritual awareness
- Close-mindedness
- Lack of joy
- Inability to see the bigger picture
- Self-centered thoughts
When your Crown Chakra is too open, that means you have an excessive amount of the energy this chakra governs.
This can also lead to many imbalances such as…
- Obsessive thoughts
- Feeling ungrounded
- Disconnected from body
- Neglecting physical responsibilities
- Excessive egotism
- Delusional thoughts
When your Crown Chakra is balanced, that means that you’re able to freely enjoy the harmonized energies that this chakra governs.
When this chakra center is balanced, you might notice that you…
- Easily access higher wisdom
- Can commune with higher states of consciousness
- Find it easy to remain present
- Feel deep joy and bliss in the moment
- Are balanced in body and spirit
How to Balance the Crown Chakra:
- Surround yourself with violet—wear violet colored clothing or hang a violet colored wall hanging to activate and inspire your Crown Chakra
- Chant “AUM”: pronounced as “ohmmmm”—the mantra that rules the Crown Chakra (and the Third Eye)
- Eat resonant foods: light broths, red grapes, herbal teas
- Commit to a Deep Spiritual Practice
- Meditate
- Use affirmations such as, “I am one with the Divine”, “I trust the wisdom of the Universe”, and “I am balanced in both spirit and body"
