The crown chakra is the seventh chakra located at the top of the head. Just as the root chakra connects us to the earth, the crown chakra connects us to the infinite of the universe. The word sahasrara translates to “thousand petals.” The crown chakra allows us to experience peaceful oneness with the energy of everything in the universe. It transcends the ego and reminds us that we are interconnected with everything that surrounds us. Therefore, it is the meeting point between the infinite and the finite. An affirmation we can associate with the crown chakra is, “I am enlightened.”

​

When we have proper balance in the crown chakra we experience bliss and joy in all areas of life. Our days feel fulfilled and we feel pleasure every day in being alive. We can easily access our inner wisdom and feel a sense of serenity and peace in being connected with our place in the universe.
