Crown Chakra: Sahasrara
When Crown Chakra is Blocked
Chakra’s are evolving energy sources within the subtle body. As such, they can be deficient (closed/blocked) or excessive (open). When a Chakra is deficient, not enough energy is flowing. This could express itself as feeling tired, sluggish, or listless. When too much energy is flowing, you might feel aggression, agitation and even project these feelings onto others. Here are some things to look for when Crown Chakra is out of balance.
Narrow mindedness. You are not open to new ideas and ways of thinking.
Difficulty rising above your ego. Some examples include the need to be right, never consider personal flaws, don’t feel the need to listen to advice, never ask for feedback, unable to take constructive criticism, and more.
Difficulty recognizing, and releasing, limiting beliefs. These are toxic thoughts that include believing you are not enough, you could never be successful, you shouldn’t even bother trying, don’t question authority, I deserve all the bad things.
Brain problems including brain fog, nightmares, insomnia or fatigue.
Feeling caught on a treadmill of negative, limiting cycles. For example, attracting the same type of partner you know is no good for you.
Overly materialistic focusing on objects and fueled by unhealthy levels of greed.
Feeling lost as though you lack purpose, drive, connection, and meaning .
Lack of faith (spiritual or other). You are unable to connect with, and believe in, a higher power beyond ourselves.
General feelings of boredom and entitlement.
Activities to Unblock Crown Chakra
When Crown Chakra is in balance, you’ll feel at peace with the world and have faith that Universe has your back. Energy will flow freely offering clarity, purpose and connection with others, yourself and the Divine. These activities will help you balance & activate Crown Chakra.
Become aware of your conscious thoughts and actions by questioning everything. Is this true? Is this healthy? Are there other options? Is this thought limiting me? Why am I doing this? Does this represent who I am? One of the most toxic cultural habits present in society today is just doing/saying things because that’s how we’ve always done it. Asking questions and challenging familial/cultural habits will begin to free your mind as you take control of your thoughts and decisions.
