All About the Crown Chakra
Experience a Deeper Connection to Your Highest Self
If you have limiting beliefs about faith + God + your life’s purpose, then you might be experiencing a crown chakra block.
The seventh chakra is all about Oneness + faith outside of your Self. It’s about your connection to the Divine {God, Universe, Source}. It’s also about trusting in the bigger picture + soul purpose.

Faith in self, faith in others, faith in the bigger picture, higher awareness, higher compassion, connection to the bigger picture, selflessness, empathy, understanding, recognition, awareness, present, spiritually connected
