If you've been working on your spiritual growth then you're probably wondering what it takes to unblock the crown chakra. Opening the crown chakra with positive affirmations is a powerful way to connect with your divine self to reach a higher state of consciousness. But how does it work?
What are the 7 Chakras?
The 7 chakras are the main energy centres of the body. Each has a distinct location and is responsible for regulating certain emotions. We all hold our Kundalini energy or life force in the root chakra which is located at the base of the spine. This energy is said to lay dormant in the system until activated through modalities like affirmations, breathwork and meditation.
When all 7 chakras are activated this energy flows freely through the body achieving balance, a clear mindset and access to greater intuition. When they're blocked they can wreak havoc on your mental, physical and emotional health. In order for the proper flow of energy, it is recommended to work with the chakras in order from the root, to the sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye and finally the crown chakra.
What is the Crown Chakra?
The crown chakra is the final chakra and is the key to spiritual enlightenment. Working with this chakra is generally for the more advanced and will only open after you've healed your first 6 chakras. The crown chakra is located at the top of the head; an easy way to find your crown chakra is to take your thumbs, place them above the ears and touch your index fingers together.
This chakra is a gateway to transcendence, bliss and to your divine self. It is the access point to greater consciousness, allowing you perceive the subtle nuances of reality. When the crown chakra is open, a person will: feel bliss, ecstasy, greater awareness, wisdom, connection to nature and absolute presence. To reach such spiritual ecstasy, however, you first have to ensure that you aren't experiencing any blocked crown chakra symptoms.
Blocked Crown Chakra Symptoms
The crown chakra will only open once you have healed your first 6 chakras. This means that you've worked through all of your primal, emotional and intuitive blockages and are ready to reach a full Kundalini awakening. There is, however, still some work to do. When the crown chakra is blocked you may experience a number of symptoms such as:
- Obsession with spirituality
- Feeling disconnected
- Lack of empathy
- A cynical mindset
- Obsession with material possession
- Lack of clarity
- Feeling purposeless and lacking direction
- Stuck in a cycle of bad decisions
Why Should I Practice Crown Chakra Affirmations?
Affirmations are a powerful tool used to reprogram the subconscious mind. If you're prone to negative thinking your subconscious mind will continue to feed you negative thoughts without you realising it. We think around 90% of the same thoughts today as we did yesterday. Essentially, our minds are on autopilot.
Practicing positive affirmations sends new signals to the subconscious mind, shifting you away from a negative mindset and creating new neural pathways. When practiced for 30 days these affirmations will seep into the subconscious mind, developing a new positive subconscious loop and helping to heal any past trauma.
