Known as the 7th major chakra, universal flow of energy, spiritual enlightenment & connection with the higher self. Today we will be diving into the 7/7 of the main chakras.

Where is our crown chakra and what is it?

Our crown chakra is located at the top of your head. This chakra faces upwards as it is the connection to the oneness. Generally speaking, the crown chakra is identified as the colour purple or white as these colours symbolise spirituality and become one. It is also a form of purity. 

The Sanskrit word for crown is "Sahasrara", which means "thousand-petals", universal consciousness. Although the true Sahasrara is just pure light, it holds all existence of colours. 

As you can see in the diagram above, the crown chakra symbol has a circle that represents the cycles of life and endless energy. The thousand petals, which have 50 layers within this symbol, are the connection to the divine and unity to the universe. The seed mantra is within the centre of the circle, known as OM, ॐ. 

What is a balanced crown chakra and how do i know if my crown chakra is blocked?

Having a blocked crown chakra has a strong connection to the third eye chakra; see our blog if you haven't discovered the Third Eye Chakra yet. This has a large association with disconnection. When we are disconnected from ourselves, that means we are disconnected from the universal energy. The universal flow allows us to be creative, in flow, connect with our higher wisdom, and feel euphoric. There is a lot of guidance & solace within. This connection also guides us to our soul purpose; when we lose that connection, our reality can become disorientated and confused and spiral down into a very lost state. 

When we are disconnected from this activation, we tend to slip straight into a 3D mentality which comes with a lot of programmes such as; Judgement & critical mentality; we lose a sense of identity. We are scattered and fragmented from multiple scenarios of chaos but also within ourselves. We become disconnected from the community and the consciousness of our own thoughts, actions and purpose. 

These feelings can lead to a lot of emotional dis-eases, such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, confusion, isolation, and anger/frustration. This holds the blame mentality but also victimisation. When the crown is not aligned with the rest of the body, we can also create a split within ourselves due to the multi-dimensional fragmentation. This is usually labelled as further mental health disorders.
