The chakras are a connected energy system that moves throughout and around our body. It affects our mental, physical, and emotional well-being. When they are out of balance it impacts our mind, our spirit, and can manifest as dis-ease in the body. Thankfully we can become conscious of and work with our chakras to be more alive with vitality.
The Crown Chakra, or Sahasrara in Sanskrit, is violet in color and is located at the top of the head. The seventh of the seven chakras, the crown chakra is all about wisdom, knowledge, and enlightenment. It represents our ability to be fully connected spiritual beings.
The Crown Chakra is your connection to Creator, God, the Universe, Odin, Diana, whatever is that you call THAT! We recognize truths are held within each religion or spiritual path, and respect everyone in their journey to find it.
Crown Chakra Meaning:
Appreciating Inner & Outer Beauty
Grace
Pure bliss
Total Experiential Spiritual Connection
The Crown Chakra is blocked by attachments.
Signs Of an Underactive Crown Chakra:
When this chakra is open, you experience awareness of your world, with lack of judgment or prejudice. Under-active chakras can leave a person rigid in their thinking, not allowing them to be spiritually aware.
Signs Of an Overactive Crown Chakra:
On the other hand, if we ignore our bodily needs in spirituality, the chakra becomes over-active and lead to spiritual addiction or a complete cut off from it. At this point, over-intellectualizing is a commonality. Superiority complexes can develop.
Manifestations Of Crown Chakra Imbalances:
The Crown Chakra feeds the Pituitary Gland, Central Nervous System, and Cerebral Cortex. It can manifest as boredom, confusion, apathy, an inability to learn, alienation, depression, and over time can lead to physical and mental ailments, headaches, mental illness, nervous system disorders, and pituitary problems.
To open and balance the crown chakra pray, meditate, or sit in silence. Keep a dream journal. Put clear quartz in your water bottle to purify it. Go outside and breathe fresh clean air and soak up the sunshine. More importantly, see yourself in every person you meet and find commonality with others. A common positive affirmation you can use is, “I am one with the Creator.”

Crown Chakra Meditation:
Sit and relax. Let go of the day with your breath.
Inhale, and with each exhale visualize yourself blowing away each of your troubles.
When you are ready, bring your awareness to the Crown of your head.
See your Crown Chakra glowing as glorious violet light. What is the quality of its color? Notice its shape and size.
Use your mind's paintbrush to brighten up any dull or darkened spots you may find within the stunning light.
Allow thoughts, feelings, and sensations to come and move freely through you without resistance and judgement.
Give yourself several minutes to allow anything that needs to rise to the surface for your attention and mindfulness.
When you feel content, smile and reacquaint yourself to your body and surroundings.
As always, Reiki helps!
