The final energy center of the primary chakras is the crown chakra, or Sahasrara in Sanskrit (meaning thousand petal lotus). Located at the crown of the head, the crown chakra is considered to be the seat of consciousness and governs our thoughts and awareness. It is also considered to be the connection to the Divine.
When in balance, you may feel very in touch with your intuition and your sense of spirituality and feel a strong relationship with the Divine (however you choose to relate to and define the Divine, such as God, angels, Universe, etc…) but when the crown chakra is out of balance you may find yourself feeling obsessively spiritual in order to maintain a sense of spiritual connection.
Location : Top of the head.
The aspect of the Crown Chakra is Spirituality and connection with the Divine.
The organs related to the Crown Chakra are upper skull, cerebral cortex, and the pineal gland.
To balance the Crown Chakra we can use tools like COLOUR, ESSENTIAL OILS, CRYSTALS, FOOD, and MEDITATION.
COLOUR: The colours associated with balancing the Crown Chakra are White, Violet, and Gold. If you’re feeling imbalanced, a sense of being disconnected from Source Energy, Universe, God, The Divine (whichever term you feel most comfortable using) surround yourself with the colours White, Violet, and Gold. Wear these colours, accessorize your work area with shades of these colours, even just a tiny touch can shift the energy around you.
ESSENTIAL OILS: Essential oils have been used in healing and bringing balance into our bodies for centuries. The essential oils associated with balancing the Crown Chakra are frankincense, lavender, lime, cedar wood, and vetiver.
CRYSTALS: The most common stones attributed with balancing the Crown Chakra are, again amethyst, clear quartz, and moon stone. You can place these crystals in your home or work space, carry them in your pocket or wear jewelry made with them.
FOOD: In the place of what we would usually consider ‘food’ that is used as tools to help find balance with the Crown Chakra, we focus our attention on purified water, air, prayer, and meditation. When working with this chakra we focus on ‘feeding’ our souls and spiritual practice.
MEDITATION: Mantras hold energy that helps to bring balance to our energy centers. The sound “Om” (sometimes spelled AUM) is the sound directly associated with the Crown Chakra and can be chanted during meditation.
