Unblock the crown chakra

Blog Posts Unblocking the Crown Chakra

The crown chakra, also known as the "thousand-petalled lotus", is the 7th energy center from the bottom, located at the crown of your head.

The main function of the crown chakra is to connect you to the divine force and infinite source of healing energy through spirituality, self-realization, knowledge and enlightenment.

You can think of your highest chakra as a receiver of Source consciousness, which keeps you in touch with the Divine and your higher Self. This chakra allows you to realize that there is a deeper meaning and order in life, which governs all creation.

One of the most important things you can do when working with your crown chakra is to embark on the path of absolute surrender to the higher power.

When you decide to embark on your own path of enlightenment and abandon the myth of separation, your mind will be elevated to the highest levels of consciousness.

Now, let's look at some of my favorite healing methods for unblocking your crown chakra and merging with the energy of the Universe.

1. Crown chakra meditation

Meditation is the most important practice for unlocking the power of your crown chakra. It's a necessary habit to cultivate if you want to clear your mind, expand your awareness, and develop the ability to listen to your inner voice. I'm sure you are most likely familiar with the benefits of meditation, as many people talk about it a lot these days.

However, your crown chakra is in direct correlation with your brain, and any meditative practice that brings calm to your mind will be very beneficial to your crown chakra. When your mind is calm and quiet, your brainwaves shift to the alpha state and you begin to connect to the infinite source of information.

There are many different forms of meditation, such as:

  • guided meditation
  • mindfulness meditation
  • Concentration meditation
  • movement meditation (such as tai chi or yoga)
  • Mantra meditation
  • Transcendental meditation

Choose the one you like the most and make it a daily habit to soothe your mind and nourish it.

2. Silence exercise for the crown chakra

Whether you're a fan of meditation or not, spending time in silence (alone or with a friend) is also a great way to cultivate deeper awareness and practice being present.

Intentional silence is actually an ancient and sacred practice, also known as “Mauna.” Mauna devotees generally start by limiting their speech to the bare minimum. Thereafter, you can refrain from reading, writing and minimize contact with others.

Before you begin, be sure to remove all distractions from your environment and open yourself to the power of Mauna. It's also a great exercise to do when you're feeling overwhelmed or stuck in life. Practicing silence will allow you to open your mind to new ideas and inspiration.

3. Visualization of the crown chakra

As your crown chakra is located right at the top of your head, it is not difficult to rest your awareness on this area and visualize it. The best way to do this is to imagine a purple-colored lotus right above your head and imagine it opening and expanding in all directions.

You can also imagine a ball of purple light rotating clockwise. At the same time, imagine white and golden light passing through the funnel and filling your entire body.

This simple visualization method is very effective because when you think about your crown chakra and visualize it opening, it will begin to open.

4. Crown Chakra Affirmations

Crown Chakra Affirmations can be helpful when working with your Sahasrara, as they can help you connect to your Higher Self and completely eliminate all identifications of your ego.

Try some of these powerful crown chakra affirmations. They can be used throughout the day or during your meditation to strengthen your 7th chakra:

  • I am divine light.
  • I am at peace.
  • I am one with all that is.
  • I am infinite and limitless.
  • I see the divine light in everyone.
  • I listen to the wisdom of the universe.
  • I seek to understand and learn from my life experiences.
  • I look for experiences that nourish my spirit.
  • I am connected to the wisdom of the Universe.
  • I raise my level of consciousness every day
  • I get help whenever I ask for it.
  • Everything is going exactly as it should in my life.
  • Everything is happening for my greatest good.
  • My thoughts and feelings have the power to manifest.

5. Yoga Poses for the Crown Chakra

Yoga Poses for the Crown Chakra

Some of the most effective yoga postures for the crown chakra are postures that stimulate energy and blood flow to your head. The supported headstand is one of my favorite yoga poses for the crown chakra, and I have been practicing it for many years.

However, if you have a back or neck injury, I don't recommend it. You can replace it with the Viparita Karani pose, which is probably the second best pose for your crown chakra.

Let's take a look at the full list of the most effective yoga poses for your crown chakra:

  • Headstand (Salamba Sirasana)
  • Leg posture in wall pose (Viparita Karani)
  • Lotus pose (Padmasana)
  • Tree Pose (Vrksasana)
  • Standing Prayer Back Pose (Ardha Anuvittasana)
  • Rabbit Pose (Sasangasana)

7. Crown Chakra Foods

The crown chakra is the seat of universal consciousness and divine connection, so there are no specific foods that can resonate with its frequency.

Some of the best "foods" for your crown chakra are:

  • The sunlight
  • pure water
  • Fresh air and nature activities
  • prana
  • unconditional love

The crown chakra has some important lessons to learn when it comes to food and diet:

  • Recognize food as a gift. You can include your own prayer (spiritual practice) before your meals.
  • Release your attachment to food and purify your body through fasting.
  • Understand that the quality of the food you eat is much more important than the quantity.

Symptoms of Crown Chakra Opening

Your crown chakra will begin to open as you begin to trust more in divine perfection. Therefore, you will be able to experience a state of flow on a daily basis. A deeper faith that everything is happening exactly as it should and that you are exactly where you need to be in life is one of the main symptoms of your crown chakra opening.

When your crown chakra opens, its appearance in your auric field begins to resemble a halo. Many paintings and drawings of spiritual beings very often depict them with a halo effect around their heads.

As you progress in your spiritual awakening, the hue of your crown chakra begins to change from purple to a bright white color. Ultimately, a healthy and balanced crown chakra will allow you to open to the knowledge of higher dimensional realities and reach your highest potential.

Keep in mind that when you say yes to the evolution of your soul, you are also saying yes to collective evolution throughout the world. The most important teaching of the crown chakra is that we are all ONE.
