Chakra of the Month: Crown Chakra

The crown chakra, or in Sanskrit called the Sahaswara chakra is located at the crown of the head and is the center for pure awareness and absence of ego.

Beginning from the root chakra, keeping us grounded and connected to earth, the chakra ladder climbs up the spine with the crown chakra at the top. In order for the crown chakra to be open the lower chakras need to be in balance so that energy can travel up from our roots.

Balanced Crown Chakra: 

Ability to live in the present moment and trusting our intuition and inner knowledge, Spiritually aware and selfless, Strong nervous system, physical and emotional tolerant and integrated with spirituality, experiencing oneness.

Imbalanced Crown Chakra:

May occur as sensitivity to sounds and light, learning difficulties, skin problems, headaches and muscular disease. Feeling a lack of purpose. exessive worrying about the meaning of life and easily feeling like a victim. Depression, being stuck in sorrow, chronic exhaustion and fear of death.
