Straighten Your Crown
Feeling a bit clumsy lately? Not able to strut in your stilettos as naturally as you usually do? ?

It could be an imbalanced crown chakra!
So, what the hell is a chakra, you ask? Well, a very simple and brief overview is in order! The word chakra is the Sanskrit word for wheel, and it refers to the 7 wheels of energy in our physical body running along our spine. Each of the chakras correspond to nerve centers in the body and each affect individual organs and glands. The 1st chakra, or root, is located at the base of the spine and represents our foundation and sense of security. Its associated with the color red. The sacral, or 2nd chakra, located a couple of inches below the belly button, relates to our creativity and sexuality and is associated with the color orange. The solar plexus is the third chakra and is located just above your belly button. This is our source of personal power and confidence. It’s represented by the color yellow. Next is the heart chakra in the region of the heart and as you may have guessed, is the source of connection, compassion and love, and is associated with the colors green or light pink. The throat chakra is our 5th chakra and deals with communication of all forms. This chakra is represented by the color light blue. The 6th is our third eye or Ajna chakra and is located between the eyebrows on the forehead. The source of our intuition resides in the area of the third eye chakra. Finally, the crown, or 7th chakra, is located at the crown of the head. It acts as the connection point between the physical (body) and the spiritual (consciousness/God/universe).

All of the chakras play an important role in how we get on in the world, but for the interest of this post, we’re going to focus on the crown.

When the crown chakra is in balance, we feel a connection to everyone & everything and to the Divine. We’re able to rely on our intuition and life grooves along well. But when it’s out of whack, either under or over-active, we feel out of sorts with our thoughts, emotions & our body. ?

Feelings of despair, anger at God or others, helplessness, exhaustion, sleep disturbances, light sensitivity, or headaches can all signal that the elevator isn’t making it all the way to the top; or it’s making it all the way to the top, but it’s getting stuck there and the damn door won’t open! When one chakra is closed or imbalanced, it can cause an over-activity in the others as the energy fields all try to overcompensate. So it’s really important to have clean, balanced, and properly spinning chakras in all 7 areas.

Fortunately, there are a number of things you can do to get back on track. Some of my favorites are meditations specifically for cleaning, balancing & spinning the chakras, sound therapies like singing bowls, yoga, crystals (my fav is amethyst), essential oils, and even choosing to wear colors associated with that chakra; in the case of the crown, wear white or purple! ?

So there you have it & now you can readjust that sparkly, brilliant crown and strut like the Goddess you are!
