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.

    What does a Balanced Crown Chakra look like?

    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

    Common imbalances:

    Fast + Over Active:

    Receiving more than giving, overthinking, overanalyzing, living in the head, superiority, hysterical behavior, fanatic, addiction to religion or belief, scattered, short attention span, disconnection with body.

    Slow + Under Active/Depleted:

    Giving more than receiving, lack of purpose, lack of connection, loss of ethics or joy, loss of meaning or identity, cynicism, learning difficulties, fear of death, feeling alone, feeling separate, apathy, materialism

    Sometimes injuries present themselves when we need to bring a chakra back into harmony. For instance, you might have migraines, nervous system problems, epilepsy, depression, confusion, neurological disorders, autoimmune disorders.
