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?

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
    • Insomnia
