Discovering the Crown Chakra
A Chakra is an energy center in the body. The Crown Chakra, the white lotus of energy, on the Crown of the head. It is the Chakra that controls our connection with the Divine. It helps us with our spiritual development and sense of inner peace.
This lens will highlight the primary attributes of this seventh Chakra, Sahasrara, then describe how to recognize and work with issues based in the Crown.
What is a Chakra?
A Chakra is an energy center in the body. There are seven primary Chakra points located in key areas of the body that regulate the flow of energy (prana, chi, qi) through the system.

What does "Blocked" mean?
Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning "wheel" or "vortex" which reflects the shape and motion of the Chakra energy. A healthy Chakra is open in the center and spins smoothly in a clock-wise manner.
Is the Crown Chakra Blocked?

Some of the most common questions to ask about Crown Chakra issues involve our connection to spirit and sense of peace in life.
Consider these Questions:
• Do you often feel tired or worn out even after a deep sleep?
• Do you feel disconnected from the Divine, Universe, or Higher Self?
• Do you doubt there is life after death?
• Do you feel a detachment toward everything in life?
Symptoms of a blocked Crown Chakra can manifest through the body or personality - sometimes a combination of both.

Emotional Imbalances:
• Spiritual emergency
• Dissociation from the body
• Spiritual addiction
• Confusion
• Over-intellectualizing
• Disconnection from spirit
• Excessive attachments
• Learning difficulties
• Apathy
Physical Imbalances:

• Chronic illnesses
• Immune system deficiencies
• Migraines
• SAD disorder (sunlight affected deficiency)
• Parkinson's Disease

Methods to Connect to the Crown
Chakra Yoga, Gemstones, Mantra & Meditation

Yoga Postures:The practice of yoga helps to unblock and circulate the prana energy in the body. Regular yoga practice will help maintain healthy chakra flow. If you feel you are blocked in a particular chakra, a sequence designed specifically for that chakra will help open and regulate its energy circulation.
• Savasana (Corpse Pose)
• Sirsana (Headstand)
• Yoga Mudra
Mantra Chanting:The sounds of unique mantras stimulate different energies of the body. The mantra for each chakra helps invigorate the spin of energy.
• First thing in the morning, take 5-10 minutes to chant 108 repetitions of OM
Gemstone Therapy:The composition and vibration of gemstones is used to help promote and regulate specific energies in the body. Every stone stimulates one or more chakras.
• Diamond, Crystal Quartz, White Quartz, Rainbow Moonstone, Mother-of-Pearl, Pearl
