Location: The Sahastrara or Crown Chakra, sometimes called the Head Chakra or “thousand petal lotus” chakra is located at the crown of the head. The seventh chakra is the centre of spirituality, cosmic awareness, wisdom, enlightenment, and dynamic thought and energy. The highest of the chakras, the crown chakra is responsible for creating a life you love and achieving inner peace. It allows for the inward flow of wisdom and brings the gift of cosmic consciousness. The crown chakra is linked to every other chakra (and therefore every organ in this system), and so it affects not just all of those organs, but also our brain and nervous system. It is considered the chakra of enlightenment and represents our connection to our life’s purpose and spirituality.
Symptoms of a blocked/imbalanced Crown Chakra:
A crown chakra that is unbalanced or blocked may cause you to feel lost, confused and depressed. When it gets imbalanced, one might suffer from a constant sense of frustration, melancholy and destructive feelings. Those with a blocked crown chakra may seem narrow-minded, sceptical, or stubborn. Physical ailments associated with a blocked crown chakra include chronic headaches and fatigue.
Signs of a balanced Crown Chakra:
A balanced Crown Chakra promotes spiritual understanding, inner peace and a clear perspective on the world. When this chakra is open, it is thought to help keep all the other chakras open and to bring the person bliss and enlightenment. A balanced crown chakra allows you to be in harmony with your life and the world around you. You will be more thoughtful and better prepared to face life’s challenges.
Mantra: The seed mantra (beej mantra) of Sahastrara Chakra is ‘Aum’.
Yoga poses to align the Crown Chakra: Balancing Sahasrara Chakra can be done by practising Headstand (Shirshasana).
