When this chakra is balanced and active, we become aware that we are souls having an experience in a human body and have a sense of our own holiness – we have good memory and focus. We know that we are one integral particle of our expansive universe. If your crown chakra is blocked or out of balance, you may experience confusion, a lack of connection to the world around you, hyper spirituality (overly reliant on religion or practices like meditation), or even a lack of focus and coordination. To align your crown chakra, try devoting regular time to deep breathing and meditation, spend regular time in prayer or take time to learn and understand something new. You may also want to practice “being in the moment” (witness) with your thoughts and experiences. Try to not get too caught up in the “how” – understand that some things are meant to just “be.”

“You can just look at a mountain and get a connection with God, you don’t have to understand the mountain to feel that.” – Paulo Coelho
