The Crown Chakra, known as Sahasrara in Sanskrit, is the second of the seven primary chakras in the human body. Buddhism and Hinduism have more than seven chakras and a more profound correlation to specific deities. Though other cultures have understood energetic systems, the spiritual traditions of India have transcended many modern spiritual communities to connect people to a basic understanding of the connections of our mind, body, and spirit. This energetic point is the vessel of our divine connection and spiritual insight and is the key to enlightenment, unity, and the flow of universal consciousness.

The crown chakra governs the pituitary gland and influences our spiritual awareness and connection to the divine. The seventh energetic point is intimately connected with our higher self—enlightenment, unity, and the flow of universal consciousness. Chakra, in Sanskrit, means disc, circle, or wheel, so if you envision the crown chakra as a violet ball shriveled beyond recognition (underactive) or bursting at the seams (overactive), you can see how each of these conditions can lead to various imbalances.

Overactive Crown Chakra
When the violet ball explodes, thoughts can race and feel ungrounded, leading to detachment from reality, excessive intellectualizing, and an obsession with spiritual matters. This overwhelming focus on the higher realms may create a sense of disconnection from the physical world, resulting in confusion, isolation, and difficulty finding the balance between life's spiritual and material aspects.
Underactive Crown Chakra
Your spiritual and mental life can feel muted when the violet ball looks more like a raisin. This may result in a lack of purpose, difficulty connecting with your higher self, and feeling disconnected from divine guidance and universal consciousness. An underactive crown chakra can lead to isolation, confusion, feeling lost or uninspired in your spiritual journey, and searching for deeper meaning in life.
Balancing the Crown Chakra
When the conditions are just right, and you have a more balanced crown chakra, you can foster a sense of spiritual harmony and divine connection, allowing you to experience life's higher truths with clarity and peace. In addition to feeling connected to your inner wisdom and the universal consciousness, you can also do simple things to nurture this spiritual energy, allowing your energy to flow through all of your chakras harmoniously toward your evolution:
Get Physical
Yoga poses such as Headstand (Sirsasana), Tree Pose (Vrksasana), and Lotus Pose (Padmasana).
Meditate regularly, calming your body and mind to find peace in connection with the divine.
Engage the Senses
Look at the night sky, imagining the vastness of the universe and your place within it.
Smell sacred scents like mugwort, blue lotus, and amber.
Eat light, detoxifying foods like leafy greens, herbs, berries, or apples.
Feel the wind on your skin as you take a refreshing walk in the early morning light.
Listen to calming music, sacred chants, or a guided meditation.
Synergizing to Balance and Bliss
Think of the crown chakra as your graduation ceremony, you have advanced though multiple levels and can now walk through life carrying a level f expertise. When you balance this chakra, you open yourself to the embodiment of the universe itself. Embrace the process, understanding that achieving balance is an ongoing journey, and you will need to return to these practices often to navigate the difficult times.
