The Magnificent Crown Chakra
By Judi Lynch
The crown chakra is the energy-center living inside us responsible for our spiritual connections, awareness, thoughts, and wisdom. It is the seventh chakra. This sacred energy is the light of cosmic consciousness that each of us carries.
Located at the top of our head, this chakra helps to regulate the energy of consciousness. Giving us access to higher frequencies, we open up to what is beyond our human senses. The color of the crown chakra symbol is white, and the petals are like a rainbow.
The crown chakra is associated with the pituitary gland, the pineal gland, along with the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus and pituitary gland work together to regulate the endocrine system. The crown chakra is closely connected to the brain and the nervous system.
When our crown chakra is balanced, we feel connected to our spiritual guidance and Higher Self. We quickly access our inner connections, feel connected in unity to others, and enjoy life. We see a higher meaning in situations and feel calm and at peace no matter the challenges. We are grounded in our thought process and in control of our emotions. Our intuitive abilities are heightened and easy to validate. We feel more serene and enlightened.
When the crown chakra is out of balance or blocked, we observe common emotional indicators such as lack of empathy, feeling disconnected, absence of inspiration or purpose, and depression. Negativity and lack of motivation can cloud the energy flow at the source, and energy flows through the body over time. Some physical symptoms would include chronic headaches, poor coordination, and lack of energy. There are reasons for these conditions to occur, such as extreme emotional stress, physical illness, life challenges. With positive actions, it is possible to find a happier existence and more hopeful outcomes for life’s challenges.
In some cases, an overactive crown chakra can also cause a few other symptoms to occur. A tendency to be judgmental of others, feeling superior, aggression, criticism, and paranoid feelings of distrust and disconnection can manifest when the crown chakra is too active.
There are several practices and mantras to help us heal and maintain a healthy crown chakra.
Crystals such as clear quartz, selenite, or amethyst can help open the crown chakra. Holding them during meditation or placing them by the pillow during sleep are regular practices. Writing down what comes in intuitively when you wake up to identify the block can be extremely helpful. Foods that are violet in colors such as eggplant, ginger, and several other herbal teas can also help.
Here are a few other suggestions to help heal and maintain the crown chakra:
Meditation (violet flame, binaural beats & crown chakra activation meditations)
Healing work on the energy system (Healing Touch, Reiki, Pranic, etc.)
Taking control of negative thoughts (transforming negative thoughts into positive mantras)
Visualizing the crown chakra healing
Chanting the OM sound
Practice the synchronistic flow of intuition
Regular spiritual practices that personally resonate.
When the crown chakra begins to open up, it is common to feel physical side effects. Ranging from a tingling in the head to feeling something comparable to an electric charge pulse through the body, starting at the head. Healthy nutrition, positive thoughts, and the daily practice of connection and renewal can help us keep things charged up.
The crown chakra helps us transcend our limitations-physically, mentally, and spiritually. It shines our awareness of the soul’s purpose and keeps our energy in evolution and blissful experiences. We receive wisdom, joy, hope, insight, and the light of the spiritual consciousness through this glowing crown at the top of our heads.
