Open your Crown Chakra
Your crown chakra is called Sahasrara in Sanskrit. It is the seventh energy center in your body’s subtle energy system, and is located at the top of the head. This energy vortex functions as a bridge between your everyday self and universal consciousness. Your crown chakra connects you with higher states of consciousness, spiritual enlightenment, and transcendence. When you open your crown chakra, you experience profound spiritual insights, inner peace, and a deep sense of connection to the divine.
Spiritual Journey and Crown Chakra Health
The journey of balancing and healing your crown chakra is a big part of your spiritual path. When your crown chakra is closed, you may feel disconnected from the divine. You may feel like you don’t know your purpose, or you may be having existential crises. These challenges are really calls for growth and transformation. In fact, they invite you to go on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening.
An Overactive Crown Chakra
The other imbalance that you may experience is when you open your crown chakra, and then don’t bring it back into balance.
When your crown chakra is too open relative to your other chakras, you may escape your everyday life with mystical experiences and fantasies. This can can be an amazing, fascinating experience, but it can distract you from being fully present in your body and material reality. You incarnated into a body and into this time and place for a reason, and to fulful your purpose and place in the universe, you need to be fully present.
There is a Zen saying popularized by Jack Kornfield as a book title: “After the Ecstasy, the Laundry“. So there is a natural progression. You open your crown chakra as part of your spiritual path. And this is an ecstatic experience. You may experience oneness with all. Psychic awakenings. Perceptions of Light and of energy in and around all that you see, hear and sense. However, there is a need to honor the sacredness of the ordinary too. To work with the other chakras. To diminish and return to the everyday.
There is a time to expand, open the crown chakra and experience peak spiritual enlightenments. This time passes naturally, and there is a need to be ordinary once more, with all the thoughts, feelings and preoccupations of survival and everyday life.
Opening Your Crown Chakra
To open your crown chakra, you need to connect with the Divine.
- Meditate on one-pointed awareness.
- Pray – especially with surrender.
- You can use affirmations from any religion.
- Visualize yourself as already enlightened, or see yourself as a part of a perfect union.
- You can also simply use your hands to send white light into the crown of your head.
- Try imagining that you breathe white light through the crown of your head. See a cord of silver or white light. See it connect the crown of your head to infinity, or to heaven.
- Know that you are already enlightened.
- Consciously enlarge your energy field.
- Meditate without thinking in words.
Healing as a Way to Open Your Crown Chakra
Life is full of suffering.
It is not easy to open the seventh chakra when you feel disconnected from the Divine.
Perhaps you are angry with your idea of God. Religions are full of darkness, ego dramas and negativity, as well as great wisdom and light.
Life is full of suffering which can seem wrong, unjust and unfair.
You may need to heal your relationship with God, just as you need to heal any other relationship. This is about being honest about how you feel, and getting your needs met.
When you identify with your thoughts, this causes closing of the crown chakra.
So healing the crown chakra requires firstly, being deeply in the here and now, and secondly, being completely present as one with the Sublime higher realms. Both matter.
Connecting with Divine Energy
Your crown chakra is the gateway for divine energy to flow into the body and spirit. When you nurture and align this energy center, you experience a profound sense of connection to the universe and all living beings. This connection is essentially all about love, compassion, and unity. It leads you towards a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of all things.
In conclusion, the crown chakra is the key to unlocking your spiritual potential and experiencing higher states of consciousness. You can align with the divine wisdom and guidance that is already part of who you truly are. You can transcend the ego and realize your true essence as a divine being of light and love.
