Embracing the Crown Chakra
The Crown Chakra, Sahasrara, represents our connection to the universe and the infinite source of wisdom and peace within us.
Hello, friends,
As we arrive at the final week of our seven-week journey through the chakras, I’m filled with a deep sense of gratitude for the time we’ve spent together. We’ve explored each chakra, from the grounding energy of the Root Chakra to the intuitive wisdom of the Third Eye. Now, we reach the Crown Chakra, or Sahasrara, the chakra that connects us to the divine, to the universe, and to the infinite source of wisdom and love.
Understanding the Crown Chakra
The Crown Chakra is located at the very top of the head, connected to the pineal gland, which secretes melatonin and other hormones that influence tranquility, sleep, and sensitivity to light. This chakra is often depicted as a lotus flower with a thousand petals, symbolizing grace, beauty, serenity, and oneness. Its color is a radiant violet or pure white light, representing purity, enlightenment, and spiritual connection. The Crown Chakra is associated with the element of the cosmos, the vast expanse of the universe that we are all a part of.
When the Crown Chakra is balanced, we experience a deep sense of peace, knowing that we are part of something much greater than ourselves. We feel connected to the universe, to our higher selves, and to all living beings. However, when this chakra is blocked or out of balance, we may feel disconnected, lost, or spiritually adrift. We might struggle with feelings of isolation or a lack of purpose.
A transformative moment in my journey—experiencing deep connection and spiritual awakening during a sacred sweatlodge ceremony.
My Personal Connection to the Crown Chakra
The Crown Chakra has always been both a mystery and a guiding light for me. There was a time in my life when I felt deeply disconnected—not just from others, but from myself. I was searching for meaning, for a sense of purpose that went beyond the day-to-day routine. It was as if there was a part of me that knew there was more to life, but I couldn’t quite reach it. This sense of disconnection left me feeling lost, as if I was wandering through life without a map.
In my search for connection, I began exploring spiritual practices that helped me to tune into the Crown Chakra. Meditation became a daily ritual, not just a practice. I would sit in silence, focusing on the space just above my head, imagining a brilliant white light pouring into me, filling me with warmth and peace. Over time, I began to feel a shift—subtle at first, but then undeniable. The more I connected with this chakra, the more I felt a sense of belonging, not just in the world, but in the universe itself.
One of the most profound moments of my journey with the Crown Chakra came during a sacred native ceremony. I remember sitting in a circle with others, the rhythmic beat of a drum echoing in the room, grounding us in the moment. As I focused on my Crown Chakra, I suddenly felt a wave of energy, like a warm embrace of pure, unconditional love washing over me. It was as if the boundaries of my being had dissolved, and I was one with everything around me—the earth, the sky, the people in the circle. In that moment, I realized that the connection I had been searching for wasn’t something external to find—it was something deep within me, something I had always known but needed to remember. It had been there all along, quietly waiting for me to acknowledge and embrace it
This experience taught me that the Crown Chakra is our connection to the divine, to the infinite source of wisdom and love that is always present, whether we are aware of it or not. It’s a reminder that we are never truly alone, and that we are always connected to something greater than ourselves.

Healing Practices for the Crown Chakra
To help balance and heal your Crown Chakra, here are some practices that have deeply resonated with me:
1. Meditation and Visualization
Meditation is one of the most powerful tools for connecting with the Crown Chakra. I’ve created a guided meditation specifically for this chakra, which you can find here. During your meditation, visualize a bright, pure white or violet light at the top of your head, expanding upwards and outwards. Imagine this light connecting you to the divine, to the universe, and to the infinite source of love and wisdom. Allow this light to fill you with peace, knowing that you are always connected to something greater.
2. Working with Crystals
Rainbow moonstone is particularly powerful for the Crown Chakra, enhancing spiritual connection and intuition. This stone carries a gentle yet potent energy that helps to align your higher self with the divine. By wearing or meditating with rainbow moonstone, you can deepen your connection to the universe and open yourself to the wisdom and peace that flows from within. Whether placed on your altar, held during meditation, or worn as jewelry, rainbow moonstone serves as a beautiful reminder of your connection to something greater. Our Crown Chakra bracelet, featuring rainbow moonstone, is designed to support you on this spiritual journey, grounding you in your connection to the divine and the universe.
3. Spiritual Practices
Engaging in spiritual practices that resonate with you is essential for nurturing the Crown Chakra. This could include prayer, meditation, or reflective journaling. For me, spending time in stillness has always been a way to connect with the divine. Whether it’s sitting quietly in my garden, feeling the gentle breeze on my skin, or watching the stars at night, these moments remind me of the beauty and interconnectedness of all life.
4. Affirmations
Affirmations can be a powerful way to reinforce your connection to the divine and your higher self. I invite you to repeat affirmations such as, "I am connected to the divine source of the universe," or "I trust the wisdom of the universe to guide me." These affirmations can help to strengthen your connection to the Crown Chakra and remind you of your place in the universe.
5. Aromatherapy
Lavender, with its calming and spiritual properties, is a powerful ally in balancing and nurturing the Crown Chakra
Essential oils like violet, lavender, and lotus are known for their spiritual properties and are particularly effective for the Crown Chakra. Using these oils in a diffuser, applying them to your pulse points, or inhaling their scent during meditation can help to deepen your connection to the divine and open your Crown Chakra.
6. Physical and Spiritual Practices
Yoga, particularly poses that involve the head and crown area, such as Headstand (Sirsasana) and Tree Pose (Vrksasana), can help to stimulate the Crown Chakra. Additionally, spiritual activities like prayer, meditation, and reflection can support the opening and balancing of this chakra, fostering a deep sense of serenity and oneness.
