The crown chakra enables us to connect to the world beyond the five senses. It allows us to feel and know that we are connected to something beyond the physical realm. It’s our direct connection to source, the universe, the divine (whatever you choose to call it). It’s our connection to our higher self, our unconditioned and eternal self, the divine within us all.
This center communicates through energy. An energy that allows us to feel connected to something bigger than ourselves, that transcends the physical in all ways. It’s where our individual consciousness meets a higher consciousness. Just like the third eye chakra connects us to our inner knowing, having an open connection to our crown allows us to tune into a ‘clear knowing’ that we feel and know to be true without any logical explanation as to how we know this information. This is also experienced through receiving ideas or creative ideas that appear out of nowhere.
When we’re connected to this chakra we can experience a deep connection to the world around us. We understand that we are all interconnected and that everything in the world is interwoven. We know that we are not separate from one another and that our individual actions contribute to the well-being of the collective/one another.
Today’s Practice: A meditation
Take three deep breaths and connect to the stillness within you. Move your attention to your root and feel the connection to the earth below you, deep down into the earth’s heart, its core. Allow this calming energy to rise into your body moving through all of your centers. Once at the crown, imagine a white light raining down from above pouring into your crown, third eye, and down your body through all of your centers. Imagine this white light surrounding your entire body. Rest in this stillness and receive any messages that may come through. When you are ready, open your eyes and take note of any messages or ideas that came through.
