The Crown Chakra is located on the top of your head and relates to consciousness as pure awareness. When developed it brings us knowledge, wisdom, understanding, spiritual connection and bliss.

Its Sanskrit name is Sahasrara meaning thousand fold and relates to the element spirit.

Here are some ways to balance the Crown Chakra:-

Crystals may be used. Crystals for the Crown Chakra are all the white or clear ones: Clear Quartz, Selenite and Danburite are just a few suggestions.

Burning Ylang Ylang and Rosewood scented essential oils and incense are also a pleasant way to help.

Wearing or carrying something white will also be a help.

Use an affirmation: I have inner strength. Say this silently or out loud to yourself daily, or as you feel the need.

The musical note for the Crown Charka is B, so music played in this key is ideal for this purpose.

Do you know certain things to be true without knowing why, sense that God is watching over you, understand all life experiences to have deep purpose, believe in miracles, believe all is well no matter how it appears, follow your guidance even when it doesn’t make sense, believe that life is not a random event?
If you don’t then you probably need to work on your Crown Chakra.

Here are a few suggestions to bring things back into balance:

Pray
Listen to Mozart or Gregorian chants
Bless your food before eating
Learn to sing ancient spiritual chants
Recycle and avoid waste and polluting
Go on a fast
Talk to God
Meditate regularly
Visit the elderly or the ill
Donate food
Write your own prayers
Take one day of a week to rest

Meditation for the Crown Chakra:

A Guided Meditation for balancing the crown chakra. You may either get someone to read this to you, or you may read it out and record it in your own voice. It is best read slowly, allowing for pauses where appropriate.

Sitting comfortably    with your back straight,    take a deep breath    and breathe out all your tension.
Imagine yourself sitting on a grassy patch    on top of a hill.
Looking up    you see a beautiful rainbow    in the clear blue sky.
All the colours are clear    yet blending into each other.
As you gaze at the rainbow    you feel it coming towards you.
You watch    as it gets closer    until it is above your head.
Sitting there    you feel the colours absorbing in through your crown chakra.

Feel the red going down to your root chakra.
The orange going down to your sacral centre.
The yellow going down to your solar plexus.
The green going down to your heart.
The blue going down to your throat.
The indigo going to your third eye.
And the violet to your crown.

Feel all the colours    absorbing    into all your chakras.
Sit for awhile    and just absorb all the colours.
When you are ready    open your eyes,    feeling relaxed    but alive.

You may use this chakra balancing meditation whenever you feel the need for it, or as often as you like.
