The Crown Chakra

The Crown Chakra, Sahasrara, is located at the crown of the head. This chakra serves to balance the inner and outer self. It connects us to the Divine, the universe. Its our spirituality. The colour associated to this chakra is violet and the related element is the cosmos. The musical note to play is B and the mantra sound OM, the sound of the universe. When this chakra is open we feel focused, peaceful, connected to ourselves and a high power. We feel that we are at one with the universe, that we are equal to all others. If an imbalance occurs in the Crown chakra, we begin to feel isolated, lonely, disconnected spiritually with a lack of direction. Physical symptoms that may be present include nerve pain, insomnia or depression.
