When you work on the chakras that are closed or weak, you'll be directly influencing that particular area of your life, for example your career, finances, sex life, self-esteem and so on.

Are your finances in trouble? Are you feeling insecure? Do you need to perform better at work and get that raise or promotion? Strengthen your Root or 1st Chakra.

Do you want to spice up your sex life or feel more passionate and creative? Unblock your Sacral or 2nd Chakra.

Want to feel more self-confident and powerful in achieving your goals? Strengthen your Solar Plexus or 3rd Chakra.

Want to feel more love, be able to forgive past grievances, and connect better with your spouse, kids, friends and co-workers? Work on your 4th or Heart Chakra.

Afraid of public speaking? Want to be able to express your truth and be understood. Balance your 5th or Throat Chakra.

Want more inspiration on which path you should take in life? Want to increase your intuition and psychic abilities? Open your 6th or Third Eye Chakra.

Want to feel at one with all there is? More peace, harmony and connection to spirit? Work on your 7th or Crown Chakra.

Scan my previous posts for details on working on each chakra or listen to my Chakra Meditations to balance all 7 chakras and see your life take off!
Namaste!

 “Oh, lead me to the Beyond within.” ~ Macrina Wieherkehr 

Spiritual oneness is the goal of opening the 7th chakra, the crown chakra, the point of knowing and enlightenment. It is our highest energy center, representing liberation, deep understanding, enlightenment and spiritual growth. It represents union with the higher self and the Divine. 

Major issues of an unbalanced Crown Chakra are lack of meaning in your life, a feeling of aloneness, depression, and on the physical level, chronic exhaustion and addictions to psychotropic and mind-altering drugs.

A balanced Crown Chakra brings a profound awakening, a connection to our spiritual nature as well as to cosmic consciousness. 

YOGA FOR THE CROWN CHAKRA
In addition to silent meditation, chanting and conscious breathing, a beneficial yoga pose to increase circulation to this chakra is the Downward Dog. 

THE CROWN CHAKRA MEDITATION
As we move up to the spiritual chakra at the crown of the head, the color indigo of the Third Eye Chakra turns to violet. All we have learned and healed through the lower six chakras merges and travels up the spine, creating a purple color. Here we open ourselves to awareness of the divine and our highest consciousness. Focus on breathing in the violet light, relaxing, letting go. Keeping your focus on the crown of your head, allow the chakra to open, visualizing it as a crown of light above your head. Feel it expanding and opening to the wonder and radiance of spirit. Send love up and out the crown chakra and then welcome its return in a beam of light that pours down through your whole being. Let the energy flow through you and around you and embrace totality.  Breathe in the power and the healing.

Imagine a rainbow of light pouring down your body, from your crown chakra down to your root chakra, enveloping you in harmony with everything above and below and around you. Enjoy!

The time code portal on 10-10-10 is said to be an opportunity for our human consciousness to ignite and awaken to higher dimensional states of being in union with source. A perfect time to share the Crown Chakra Meditation from The Chakra Diaries…

Can gardening really balance the root chakra? I saw your beautiful red anthurium on Facebook and meditated on the photo and did feel more grounded.

Color Therapy and Meditation are both useful tools in balancing the chakras. Gardening is definitely a grounding exercise for anyone, especially someone who wants to build their sense of strength and security. Choosing the colors you want in the flowers you plant, or the clothes you wear, can assist in balancing the chakras those colors are associated with.  For instance, a red scarf or tie will help you feel strong and assert your will, while orange will help you with your sexuality and relationships (sacral chakra). Wearing something bright yellow can help you realize your power (solar plexus chakra). Green (associated with the heart chakra) will help you be more loving and compassionate. A sky blue scarf could help you in your communications (balancing your throat chakra), while wearing deep blue or indigo will open up the third eye chakra and aid intuition, healing and clairvoyance.

If you've meditated with us starting on balancing the root chakra, up through the sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat and third eye chakras, you're ready to meditate on the crown chakra, opening yourself to the infinite, the oneness that you are an integral part of.
