Working with Your Crown Chakra: Sahasrara

Sahasrara, your Crown Chakra, is located at the crown of the head.

The Crown Chakra is the chakra of spirituality. It is the gateway to higher consciousness, guided intuition and an understanding of life and what may lie after.

The Crown Chakra is about the link between human beings and the earth as well as the universe. The Crown Chakra rules faith, trust, prayer, meditation, and wisdom. It contains memories from past lives, as well as glimpses into the next.

Overactive Crown Chakra

When your Crown Chakra is overactive, or exaggerated, you may consider yourself above those around you, perhaps using spirituality to make those around you feel inferior. Or when the Crown Chakra is exaggerated, you may be so wrapped in your spirituality that you have no other interests or engage in any other topics of conversation, making it difficult to function in the earthly realm.

Underactive Crown Chakra

When your Crown Chakra is underactive, or deficient, you may find you value money and things over people and activities. You may become wealthy but will lack soul or compassion for others. You may have no faith in the universe or your own future, so you may feel stuck in your life. You may be taken advantage of and drained by those around you.

Crown Chakra and Your Health

The Crown Chakra is said to rule over the brain and the central nervous system.

Here are a few of the common Crown Chakra health complaints: Schizophrenia, epilepsy, bipolar disorder, depression, skin cancer, varicose veins, eczema, warts, and moles.

Healing Your Crown Chakra

There are many ways to heal your Chakras. Working with an energy healer is an excellent way to jumpstart the healing process for you. Energy healing is a noninvasive therapy where the healer uses their connection to the Universe to channel energy through themselves and direct that energy, through their hands, to your Chakras.

If you wish to work on your Chakras alone, you can always develop your connection to the Universe and channel your own healing energy. White light with blue flecks for health, pale green flecks for emotional healing, or pale lavender flecks for spiritual healing.

Physical objects may aid in your Chakra healing, such as crystals, things of certain colors, or essential oils.

Use cleansed and charged crystals for Chakra healing, hold them in your hands and envision the crystal directing its energy into your Chakra. Crystals that are linked to your Crown Chakra are:

• Amethyst

• Clear Quartz

• Danburite

• Diamond

• Herkimer Diamond

• Howlite

• Pearl

• Rose Quartz

• White Jade

• Zircon

Essential Oils may also be used to heal and align your Chakras, though it is best to speak with a qualified aromatherapist before you use essential oils because they can have an effect on the entire body. Make sure to use a carrier oil if you are applying the oil directly to your skin, or, to be safer, add a few drops into your bath or a diffuser.

Essential Oils for the Crown Chakra are:

• Bay Laurel

• Cedarwood

• Chamomile

• Frankincense

• Jasmine

• Lavender

• Myrrh

• Neroli

Color Healing is another interesting way to heal your Chakras. Color healing is a way of introducing color to the chakras to produce a specific outcome. Anything will work, a piece of ribbon, large buttons, marbles, or a scrap of material. As long as the color is bright and clear. Plain color is better than patterned.

Place the colored item either next to the chakra or on top of the chakra, visualize a white energy coming from the Universe, as it passes through the item, it takes on the color of that item and directs itself to the chakra being healed.

The Crown Chakra is associated with the color Purple, the color of spirituality.

Lastly, another way to use Color Healing is to eat fruits and vegetables in the color associated with the Chakra for a day or two.

Fruits and vegetables including:

• Pale-colored peaches

• Melons
