The seventh chakra, also known as the crown chakra or Sahasrara, is located at the top of the head and is responsible for spiritual awakening and connection with the divine. When it is open and balanced, you feel a sense of peace and unity with all of existence. How can you balance this energy center and discover its secrets? Let’s explore in detail below.
What is the Seventh Chakra?
Sahasrara is considered one of the most powerful chakras in the body. It governs aspects of the self such as knowledge, consciousness, intelligence, and humility. Its associated color is violet, and its symbol is the lotus flower.
Many spiritual teachers and yoga philosophies consider it the center of spiritual connection with the divine or with cosmic consciousness.
What Does the Seventh Chakra Offer to a Person?
Because the seventh of the 12 chakras connects us with the divine, it is regarded by many as the most important. It provides access to higher states of consciousness and helps us connect with our spiritual self. When it is in balance, we experience inner peace and a feeling of oneness with existence. We gain clarity about who we are and what our purpose is. If you are in a phase of your life where spiritual balance matters to you, then this is the chakra to focus on.
What Happens When the Seventh Chakra Is Out of Balance?
When this energy center is out of alignment, we may feel disconnected from our spiritual practices and beliefs. In addition, we may experience symptoms such as:
- Lack of physical balance
- Reduced coordination
- Difficulty with physical activity
- Confusion
- Excessive focus on spirituality
- Trouble concentrating
- Impaired cognitive functions
- Feeling disconnected from the world
How to Balance the Seventh Chakra
The seventh chakra is our bridge to spirituality and our connection with the universe. To feel inner peace and unity with ourselves, it’s important to keep it balanced. Let’s explore ways we can achieve this in our daily lives.
Yoga for the Crown of the Head
Yoga poses that help activate the Sahasrara chakra are those requiring stability and present-moment focus. Try:
- Tree Pose (Vrksasana) for stability and grounding, combined with
- Eagle Pose (Garudasana) for focus and balance.
- Savasana (Corpse Pose) for deep relaxation.
- Salamba Sirsasana (Headstand) to enhance energy flow in the upper body.
Meditation for Spiritual Connection
Dedicate a few minutes daily in a quiet environment. Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and focus on your breath. Meditation helps calm the mind and connect with your higher self.
Positive Affirmations
Repeat daily phrases such as:
- I am connected to the wisdom of the universe.
- I trust the flow of life.
These simple yet powerful affirmations boost confidence and inner faith.
Nutrition that Supports Our Energy
Food is not just sustenance; it is energy. Our diet can help balance our energy centers. For a balanced seventh chakra:
- Choose fresh, organic foods like fruits, vegetables, brown rice, whole grain bread, and soups.
- Prefer violet-colored foods such as eggplants and red grapes.
- Add ginger for detoxification and mental clarity.
- Drink herbal teas, which help balance energy and support digestion.
Reiki
Reiki is a gentle yet deeply transformative energy practice that can effectively activate and balance the seventh chakra. Through the gentle placement of hands on or just above the crown of the head, Reiki’s healing energy flows softly, dissolving any energy blockages. The mind quiets, spiritual connection strengthens, and we feel unity with ourselves and the All once again.
If you feel disconnected from your spiritual side or struggle to find meaning in daily life, a Reiki session can guide you back to balance. You can also learn simple Reiki techniques for self-healing and daily empowerment.
When the Seventh Chakra, the Crown Chakra, is balanced, we experience complete peace, spiritual clarity, and a deep connection with the Universe and our Higher Self. Life takes on new meaning as we begin to see beyond the physical and perceive the unity of all things.
If you feel disconnected from your inner world or need spiritual guidance, we can restore balance together.
