Now You Can Balance Your Crown Chakra

What is the Chakra system? You can balance the crown chakra with this guide. Chakras are the energy sources that are placed in seven different points on the spinal column. They are responsible for disturbing the life energy and can get out of balance. But yoga poses can help bring the chakra's into balance. Come with me on a Sahasrara Chakra and Yoga Journey into energy balance!

"We shall not cease from exploration 
And the end of our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."

Crown Chakra and Yoga Practice

How can you balance your chakra with yoga? 

Close your eyes and take 5 big breaths.  As you inhale, feel the energy ascend from your feet up through the crown of your head.  As you exhale, feel the energy descend from the crown of the head down into your feet. The flow between the earth and the spirit is always intact. 

Virabhadrasana A with Garudasana arms- keep your feet firmly planted but feeling vast, open, and alive! 

Use this pose as an opportunity to feel your feet on the ground and expand upward in a gesture of courage and willingness to connect with the infinite.   

Rabbit Pose- This pose will get you on your head without feeling pressure to move deeper into a headstand. It allows you to tune inward to find your inner courage. This pose integrates total-body awareness and provides opportunity for rediscovery of your view of the world.

Sirsasana- When you are balanced, you "feel" and "know" that you are one with everything that is.  There is no fear of losing what is "yours." Given this wisdom, a deep and peaceful bliss can arise.

You could also try connecting to your Crown Chakra with the essential oils of Myrrh, Sandalwood, and Frankincense.  I suggest doTERRA Essential oils! I also like Chakra singing bowls (paid link). The tones are beautiful and soothing for each chakra. 

The chakras are a journey, the anahata chakra and yoga is no exception. Take the Journey full Chakra Journey!
