Balancing Your Crown Chakra With Crystals

Chakras are the main energy centers found within the body. There are seven main chakras that align with the spine and have an important role in human function - from immune strength to emotional balance. They also relate to different aspects of our life and emotions. Today we are going to highlight the Crown Chakra and how to work with crystals to bring more balance and alignment to this energy center.

 

The Crown Chakra

The crown chakra, known as 'sahasrara', is the seventh chakra located at the crown of the head. This energy center governs clarity, acceptance, higher perspective and universal connection.

Signs Your Crown Chakra Might Be Out Of Balance

At times in our life, our chakras can become 'stuck', blocking the flow of energy throughout the body - these blockages can lead to physical, mental, emotional and spiritual imbalances. On the other hand, when the chakras are functioning well and energy is flowing smoothly, the body’s physical and subtle energies are in balance and harmony. 

Signs that your crown chakra may be unbalanced include:

- Feeling unbalanced, unfocused or confused
- Overthinking and constant worry
- Feeling disconnected to yourself and the world
- Ungrounded & floaty (possibly too much meditation & disconnection, overstimulation of the chakra as this needs to be balanced with grounding and presence.

 

Note: If you have a pendulum, you can also use this to check if your crown chakra is open or unbalanced. See our range of crystal pendulums here >

Crown Chakra Balancing Techniques - Incorporating Crystals

Please find my favourite chakra balancing techniques below:

1. Visualisation Meditation

Select your preferred crown chakra crystal/s and hold them in your hand whilst you get settled into a meditation position. Allow the energy of these stones to assist in raising your vibration and balancing the energy of the crown chakra. Once you are sitting in meditation, take some time to focus on your crown chakra, see what sensations and feelings come up for you.

If you are very sensitive to energy, you may feel a blockage, 'stuckness' or heaviness (the area might feel extra tight, heavy, or another different sensation). If you don't feel much, that is ok, trust your intuition as to what your energy & body needs. 

Start to visualise a healing light building in that area (white, silver & violet are excellent colours for this chakra). See it flowing in a clockwise direction, clearing out any heaviness and stagnation and infuse this whole area with healing light.

Spend some time patiently sending healing light and allow any emotions to come up and be released. You might even feel the energy moving around again!

  

2. Direct Crystal Healing

Working with crystals can provide a wonderful healing energy that can assist in activating and cleansing the chakras.

Select your favourite crown chakra balancing crystal and find a quiet space to lie down, you may also like to play some relaxing meditation music. Place your crystal on the top of your forehead, at the crown chakra. You may also like to place extra crystals on the surface around your body, creating a grid of energy around you. 

Get comfortable as you meditate and allow the crystals to work - there is nothing you need to do, just lie back, relax and focus on your breathing, stay for as long as you feel you need to.

Make sure to cleanse your crystals afterwards and keep coming back to your crown chakra as long as it needs some extra love and attention.

 

3. Carry Crystals With You

Select a crown chakra crystal that calls to you and keep it near you during everyday life. This could be a tumble that you carry in your bag, pocket or clothing, or a cluster or polished stone that sits on your bedside table or desk. Over time, your energy will start to become more aligned with the high vibration energy of the crystal. It is important to take inspired action during this time, try to listen to your intuition and take note of new opportunities, as this is the energy presenting new ways of being to you. 

Remember to be kind to yourself, it is normal for your energy to shift and change on any given day, Healing takes time and there is no rush, just find some techniques that work for you and take the first step.
