Rituals to balance the crown chakra (sahasrara)
It’s time to meet your crown chakra…
The crown chakra is located at the crown of the head or slightly above the head. It combines all of the energy from the six lower chakras, a culmination of all the energy in our subtle body and our direct line to Cosmic Consciousness. Accessing crown chakra energy provides a deep connection to Universal energy…or whatever you might like to call it…Source, Love, Spirit. This merging of energy is the key to wisdom, unity, self-knowledge, spirituality and enlightenment.
Nuturing and balancing the six lower chakras helps to prepare us to access crown chakra energy. Other signs we might be ready include embodying an understanding that ‘we are all one’, knowing how to ground with ease and feeling connected to the Universe, often via regular meditation.
What’s it’s purpose?
Crown chakra energy reminds us that Universal energy, spirit [insert your word of choice] is within us all. We are all connected. It’s a gateway to super-consciousness, where we no longer experience ourselves as separate from anyone or anything else:
“I am one with the Universe, I am everything, and I am nothing”
Work with this chakra when you need to see things from a different perspective, from a higher perspective of balance and growth. Invite purpose and an elevated way of being. When your crown chakra is aligned, you are ready to let go of misunderstandings about who you are and why you are here.
How will I know if my crown chakra is out of balance?
An open and balanced crown chakra is seriously ‘wow!’. It’s a big deal and it requires dedicated energetic work and maintenance. A balanced crown chakra allows us to observe our ego, we can witness our thoughts through a lens of Universal light and love, with the realisation we’re cosmically connected to all things. We connect with higher states of consciousness and embrace meditation.
Sheeesh, that sounds pretty damn awesome. Keep reading for tips & tricks to nourish the crown crown chakra but be sure to check other Feel & Flow chakra blogs, as the other six chakras play a huge part in opening the crown chakra.
When we lack foundation and grounding the crown chakra might be over active. This may have us feeling:
Like it’s difficult to embody our physical selves. This means things like work, creating and maintaining a home, general health, hygiene and even eating will we be low priorities.
Like we’re absorbed by the blissful energy of the crown chakra and are intensely sensitive to elements of the physical world.
Detached from the physical world, with little desire to connect with others.
If our crown chakra is under active, we might feel:
Like we are stuck, frozen, overcome with worry and fear.
As though we can’t see the bigger picture.
Like we lack spirituality or connection to Universal energy.
Hurry up & get to the good stuff! What can I do to balance my crown chakra?
The answer: So many wonderful rituals will help you work towards the cosmic enlightenment of the crown chakra but don’t get ahead of yourself, it will take patience & practice.
Try our Feel & Flow Flower Elixir Cosmic Consciousness. This fusion of flower essences & reiki has been created to balance crown chakra energy.
Reiki is in my top two for balancing the chakras. (You guessed it, flower essences is the other!). Feel & Flow Flower Elixirs are infused with reiki, however, a reiki treatment (either in person or distance) can bring incredible feelings of cosmic consciousness and energetic vibration and flow to the crown chakra.
Meditation Commit to a regular meditation practice. Make time each day to focus your awareness inwards. We’re not looking for earth-shaking, mind-blowing experiences. Just be. There is no fast-tracked path to higher consciousness. Quiet dedication and devotion to daily practices is where it’s at, you’ll be rewarded with glints and shimmers of enlightenment. Even a moment of this energy may be life-changing!
Work with crystals. Wear them, carry them, meditate with them. Basically make friends with crystals! Your best mates boost your meditations and remind you of cosmic connection include:
Clear Quartz for balance
Celestite to connect to the spirit realm
Howlite to soothe your mind and body
Grounding crystals such as onyx, hematite or black tourmaline
Botanical essential oils Try frankincense and myrhh to help access higher states of consciousness during crown chakra meditations.
Mantras can also be a wonderful way to open the crown chakra. You might like to try: “I am light.” “We are all connected.” “I am one with the Universe.”
