Balancing my Crown Chakra

At last, I have come to the seventh and final chakra!

The seventh, or crown chakra, is located at the crown of the head and is associated with spirituality.  When this chakra is open and balanced, there is a sense of unity, and the realization that everything is connected at a very basic level.  Life has a deeper meaning.  There are no longer limitations of the body.  And, there is a level of selfless devotion to others, because you see them as a part of you, and not separate.

If the chakra is over-active you might be considered someone who is “out there”.  And, someone others might find difficulty relating to.  You might have a god-like complex, and consider yourself better than others around you.  If the chakra is under-active, you feel like you lack purpose.  You might feel unloved, are angry and/or bitter, and blame everything outside of yourself.  There are several physical, as well as psychological symptoms:

Physical Symptoms:

Light sensitivity

Headaches

Dementia

Autoimmune disorders

Neurological disorders

Psychological Symptoms:

Depression

Confusion

Loss of faith

Mentally disconnected

Dementia

Epilepsy

Schizophrenia

Throughout my journey to open and balance my chakras, I really haven’t done much other than meditation.  I have tried other methods, here or there.  But, for the most part, I like to lie down on the floor, put on some chakra meditation music, and either focus on my breath or a small spinning dot, specific to the color and location of the chakra I’m currently working on.  I will continue to use this same method, to balance my crown chakra. 

In the last couple of years, I have gotten more into my faith, and consider myself to be more spiritual than ever before.  But, I still have so much to learn.  My mind has really restricted itself for one reason or another, and so often, I feel trapped and useless.  I’ve often asked myself, “What is the purpose of my existence?”  As I’ve been slowly working through my issues, forming healthier internal self-talk, and looking for the truth in all situations, I find myself feeling freer than I ever had in my life. 

I took the chakra test for the first time in quite a while.  And, while I’m pleased that I’m improving, I’m still struggling in the same areas.  I really look forward to growing my mind, body, and spirit and finding a deeper level of peace and tranquility, as I continue to work on opening my chakras.
