Gateway To Your Higher Self – 4 Ways To Activate Your Crown Chakra
Crown Chakra Affirmation:
“I honor the Divine within me. I am open to new ideas. Information I need comes to me easily. The world is my teacher. I am guided by a higher power and inner wisdom. I am worthy of love from divine energy. I am open to letting go of my attachments. I am connected with the wisdom of the universe.”
You know those people with the attitude that everything happens for a reason, and seem to be at peace with whatever comes their way? This is an attitude of trust towards life and the universe.
Practicing a connection with your higher self will lead to a trust so deep in the divine timing, that the perception of challenges in life will come as lessons. Tuning into higher consciousness is said to happen both physically and energetically in the crown chakra.
The seventh chakra, Sahaswara, also known as the crown chakra and is said to be the gateway to our higher self, to every being on the planet, and ultimately the divine energy that creates everything in the universe. The basic issues of your crown chakra are wisdom, intuitive knowing, spiritual development, and universal higher consciousness.
It is through the crown chakra that we may access our deepest belief system about ourselves, life, and our connection to the Divine. Our core belief systems are shaped by our cultural identity, society as a whole, our gender, and commonly held attitudes. Rather than a limited perspective of our personal story or ego, the crown chakra allows us to take a greater perspective, considering an interdependency with all forms of life.
It is located at the crown of the head – it encompasses the space around your whole head, overlapping energetically over the crown and throat areas. It is above you, behind you, and all the way around, matching up with the auric field of the rest of the chakras below, completing the top of the energy field. The color associated with the crown chakra is violet to white and its element is thought.
What are signs of having a blocked crown chakra?
A person with blocked a Crown Chakra may experience unwillingness to be open to other ideas, thoughts, or knowledge. The feeling of fear, being stuck, and lacking clarity tends to manifest when out of alignment. The signs such as psychosis, dissociation from the body, being disconnected and ungrounded are also manifested when the Crown Chakra is unbalanced.
What can I do to activate my crown chakra?
1. Quiet the mind and the soul will speak– Each chakra is associated with a sound or mantra. The sound of the crown chakra is silence. Silence can feel intimidating and overwhelming for some people, especially those who are on the go – nonstop. Go somewhere silent- if you have to put on a pair of headphones with nothing on to block out any noises. Connect to your pure awareness. Whoever you are, getting still will help you reconnect to the core of who you are and activate the crown chakra.
2. Meditate– A consistent meditation practice helps us see our thoughts more clearly, and create the spaciousness required to move through life’s challenges with ease and grace. The sahaswara chakra synchronizes all colors, which is why it manifests as white light. It also fuses all the senses, and with this comes a spiritual connection to the infinite. Meditating with the crown chakra brings intuitive knowledge, deep understanding, strong spirituality, and an enhanced sense of awe. It allows you to see the divine interconnectedness of all forms of life.

3. Use the healing power of crystals.
Petalite is a popular spiritual stone as it is often referred to as “the stone of the angels”. It not only furthers one’s communication with the angels, but it also facilitates communication with ancient civilizations, spirit guides, and animal totems. It has a deep connection to the spirit realm and using it will advance your personal connection to the spirit realm allowing you to be more “spiritual”. It activates the higher mind and allows the advancement of your consciousness in a gentle way.
Lepidolite assists you in dealing with the issues that arise in life, creating a space to help you manage life’s stresses and stay centered in the process. Lepidolite collects and absorbs negative energies around us and creates beneficial negative ions.
Amethyst is an essential stone for anyone on a spiritual path who is looking to open their intuitive and healing capabilities. It is associated with the crown chakra. It is commonly known as a protective stone, particularly when dealing with spiritual and psychic protection.
Clear quartz can be used for any spiritual pursuit including enhancing psychic abilities, communicating with spirit guides or other beings, channeling, dissolving karma, manifestation, healing, recalling past lives, astral travel, and expansion of consciousness just to name a few.
4. Journaling practice– the ritual of journaling will help you connect to your higher self by helping you peel away the layers of your self-limiting beliefs. When you get into the ritual of journaling you have a newfound confidence because you realize you can write and share all of your feelings and secrets openly, as if you’re writing a letter to your best friend. You can find our journal workshop within the collective ritual where you will journal through many different topics.
