The crown chakra (seventh chakra), also known as sahasrara, is the last chakra of the seven main chakras of the body. It is violet in color and is located at the top of the head. This violet energy center spins clockwise and is the gateway between the physical self and universal self. It is the chakra that connects us to the spiritual world and beyond. The crown chakra’s energy vibrates at a frequency that is higher than all the other chakras. Its frequency is so high that it can connect us to spiritual realms beyond our wildest imagination. The crown chakra represent consciousness which is an intelligent field of infinite possibilities, no beginning and no end. It is associated with divine wisdom, enlightenment, bliss and unity.
The crown chakra has a strong connection to the pineal gland which is located at the center of the brain. Scientist believed that the pineal gland is responsible for making us dream. The pineal gland manufactures dimethyltryptamine (DMT) which is a natural psychedelic chemical believed to have mystical properties. The pineal gland acts like a hypergate that connect us to other dimensions, such as the dream plane and spiritual plane. Most people don’t realize that when they are dreaming, they are actually activating their psychic abilities. Like the third eye chakra, the crown chakra gives us the ability to transcend but also connect us to the source of all that is (consciousness).
People who have a balance crown chakra are very wise and very connected to consciousness. They are incredible spiritual leaders who understand the universal way of life. They are also great healers and have incredible psychic abilities. People with an overactive crown chakra may have a lot of strange encounters with other realms. They may feel disconnected from the physical world and have a hard time connecting with people. Many of these people are put on psychiatric medication which really doesn’t help them. Instead of putting them on medication, they should be put on a training program to help them balance their crown chakra.
How to clear and balance your crown chakra:
- Find a comfortable area and lie on your back.
- Place one of your hands (palm facing top of the head) a few inches above your crown chakra and slowly move your hand in a counter-clockwise circular motion. Move your hand by going to the right first, then forward, left and back. Do this energy exercise for 3-7 minutes or until you feel it is right to stop. When you are done shake your hand to clear off the negative energy.
- Place your hand back to the starting position in step 2. This time move it in a slow clockwise circular motion. Do this exercise for half the time of step 2 or until you feel it is right to stop. When you are done shake your hand to clear off unwanted energy.
- The counter-clockwise hand motion is useful for removing negative energies from the crown chakra. The clockwise hand motion helps reharmonize its energy. This exercise is best done with a partner but is not necessary.
Other ways to clear and balance your crown chakra:
- Crystals: Clear and violet crystals or stones are great for stimulating the crown chakra. Some popular stones are clear calcite, danburite and zircon. Visit this page for more details about using crystals.
- Light visualization: Imagine a transparent violet ball floating on top of your head. Visualize that this is your crown chakra. Mentally look or sense this violet ball of energy shining brightly toward the heaven. Visualize a pure white light illuminating from the inside of your crown chakra. Visualize this white light cleansing its energy until it is illuminating beautiful violet colors. Cleansing your chakra of dark energy may take a few weeks or months so please be patient.
