Chakra Centers, Part Seven: Healing the Spirit


7th Chakra:  Crown Chakra
Center of Spirituality

The Crown Chakra, located at the top of the head, is our connection to the Divine and source of spiritual energy.  This is where you are contacted by Spirit Guides and where you ‘download’ Divine Wisdom from Source.  The crown chakra is the seat of enlightenment, higher learning, inspiration, pure bliss and Cosmic Consciousness.

Through the Crown, you begin your exploration of Spirit, mapping out the truths that align for you and your life purpose.  It is here where you question the beliefs you have held in the past.  Some will be discarded to be replaced with new ones, while others that are still aligned will remain.  It is through your connection with the Divine that you begin to know your own Divinity.  You know that you are Spirit made manifest in physical form.  You know that you are a powerful Creator.  Here, you focus on each moment’s creative powers.  Each thought in the Now creates your future.

The Crown is the source of Divine oneness.  You are interconnected to all living things.  The unity felt in the Crown provides us with empathy as well as peace, knowing that everything is as it should be.

To balance the Crown Chakra, connect to your spiritual roots and allow yourself to grow and branch out from there.  Nobody’s path of spiritual growth is the same, so holding tight to the rigid belief systems of others can stunt your spiritual growth.  Your path is your own.  You can also open this chakra through prayer work/spiritual communication, kundalini awakening through yoga practice, or meditation.  Letting go and releasing the past is essential to healing.  Grounding your energy is also important, as it keeps you anchored, balanced, and present so that negative energies cannot affect you.  Take a walk or run outside and be one with the universe around you, allow the messages from Spirit to reach you.  This chakra is governed by all senses as one, particularly to the proprioceptive sense which is related to inner knowing.  Focus on the color violet (a balance of hot and cold, fire and water, red and blue…it is the color of Temperance and Spiritual Harmony).  You can also focus on bright white, a color which reflects the light of Spirit.  Below, you can find crystals and other healing methods for the crown chakra.
