The Crown Chakra

The crown chakra, also known as the Sahasrara chakra in Sanskrit, means “bridge to the universe.”

It is symbolically portrayed as a lotus flower, is positioned at the top of your head and means “thousand-petaled” flowers.

All seven chakras are spiritual in essence, but this one is the most spiritual. It is the individual’s centre of spirit, enlightenment, wisdom, universal consciousness, and connection to higher guidance, and is at the top of the “chakra stepping stool,” which starts with the root chakra (Muladhara), which connects us to the Earth, and progresses upward to the Sahasrara, which connects us to the universe and the divine source. It is in charge of one’s engagement and communication with the cosmos, one’s feelings of inspiration and devotion, unification with the higher self and the divine, and greater comprehension; it is also in charge of a healthy spiritual life.

The Crown Chakra serves as a storage facility for the energies we accumulate via compassionate thoughts and actions, as well as faith, meditation, and prayer. We can transcend life’s dimensions and commune with “God” here.

The ability to be totally present and aware while seeking enlightenment is likewise represented by this chakra. . It bestows upon us the ability to experience unity as well as the selfless understanding that everything is fundamentally connected.

Crown chakra healing combines a variety of holistic healing techniques to bring the mind, body, and spirit into harmony. Meditation, yoga, self-inquiry, colour and food therapy, and many more techniques or cures are among them. To balance your crown chakra, try some of these techniques.

1. Practice meditation

All meditation techniques benefit the seven chakras by keeping them open and aligned. The procedures for meditating on the head chakra are as follows.

• Find a comfy and quiet location where you won’t be disturbed.
• With your back straight and your feet flat on the floor, take a seat.
• Place your hands on your lap and face the sky with your palms facing up. This is known as a mudra, and it will assist you in receiving energy.
• Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth while closing your eyes.
• Create an image of a lotus blossom in your mind’s eye. Meanwhile, observe the petals of the lotus open, displaying a magnificent violet light – the colour of the crown chakra – while you continue to breathe gently and evenly.
• Consider how the sun grows brighter and brighter, warming the crown of your head.
• Allow the warmth to cover your entire body as it descends.
• Open your eyes after 5-10 minutes. Before you end the session, sit quietly for a few minutes.

You can also try meditation by chanting Om, the crown chakra’s seed mantra. This sound will resonate with the chakra and activate it when chanted. You can do this by sitting in a comfortable and easy stance, taking deep breaths, and chanting Om aloud, feeling your chakras open and allowing energy to flow.

2. Engage in Yoga

Yoga is another excellent approach to activate your chakras, with some positions targeting the head chakra especially. Sirasana (supported headstand), Sasangasana (Rabbit Pose), Shavasana (Corpse Pose), and Ardha Padmasana are some of the best poses for stimulating the energy in your 7th chakra (Half Lotus Pose).

3. Say Crown Chakra Affirmations and Mantras

Affirmations are another well-known method for balancing the chakras. Consider incorporating some of the crown chakra affirmations into your everyday practice.

I am a part of the divine.
I pay respect to the divine within me.
I am always in touch with my highest self.
I am content.
I have a better understanding of underlying truths and relationships.
I feel a sense of belonging to other people, to heaven and earth, and to the entire cosmos.

 

4. Consume foods that stimulate the chakras.

The ideal “food” for repairing your top chakra is sunlight, fresh air, pure water, and wildlife. These actually resonate with the frequency of the head chakra.
