General Info- The Crown Chakra is the seventh energy center in the chakra system. Also known as the head chakra, it lies at the top of your head, forming a strong connection with the supreme Self. Sahasrara means “thousands'' in Sanskrit. It gets its name from the lotus flower with a thousand petals. Each petal represents a different aspect of our being, such as emotions, thoughts, and actions. The complete opening of all the petals causes a universal balance of the body, mind, and spirit. f. It is the highest point in the body and acts as a bridge between our physical selves and the spiritual world. 

Location- at the crown of the head where the skull meets the spine.

Balanced- When the Crown Chakra is open and balanced, you have a more positive outlook on life. There are visible changes in your attitude, and emotions like gratitude, compassion, and acceptance become your true Self. 

Emotional Symptoms may include-

• Spiritual awakening 
• Clarity of mind 
• Increased empathy and compassion 
• Greater sense of purpose 
• Improved intuition

• 
  

Physical Symptoms may include-

The seventh chakra is associated with the endocrine system, which includes the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and pineal gland in the brain.  

The pineal gland is a small gland located in the center of the brain, and is responsible for producing and regulating the hormone melatonin which is linked to sleep and wake cycles. It is also responsible for regulating the body’s circadian rhythm, or internal clock. 

When the Sahasrara Chakra is balanced, it stimulates the pineal gland, leading to: 

• Mental balance  
• Mood stabilization 
• Improved sleep patterns 
• Boost in energy  
• Improved heart health  

In addition to its physical functions, the pineal gland is believed to play an active role in spiritual experiences, helping us access higher states of consciousness. 

Unbalanced- A person with a blocked Crown Chakra may experience unwillingness to be open to other ideas, thoughts, or knowledge. Psychosis, dissociation from your body, and feeling ungrounded are also common signs that your head chakra is blocked.
