Crown Chakra Blockages – 6 Ways To Heal The Seventh Chakra

Your crown chakra is your seventh chakra located right above your head. This is a very important chakra for receiving divine information and working with your intuition. It is the color violet (also seen as white or gold).

Your crown chakra is responsible for providing you divine guidance and connects you with the oneness in the universe. This chakra helps to guide you along your path as it knows the big picture and has a birds-eye view.

The crown chakra (as well as the third eye chakra) is the center where you connect with your angels and spirit guides. It is what allows you to receive information from the universe. You can access your akashic records through this chakra.

Since the seventh chakra connects you to oneness, if it is blocked you may feel very alone. If it is blocked, you won’t receive information clearly, and/or you won’t trust the information you receive.

What Are Chakras?

Our chakras are our energy centers. They are vortexes of spinning energy that create who we are and what we do. Some individuals can even see the chakra centers in others. With practice, this information is available to anyone.

All your energy systems work together. Therefore, if one becomes blocked and unbalanced it can contribute to the rest of your chakras being out of balance.

If you have crown chakra blockages, then the chakra right beside it (the third eye chakra) will have to step up and take on some of the workload.  The other chakras will have to step up to make up for the chakra that is unbalanced as the whole energy system will be thrown off. 

It is important to make sure all of your chakras are balanced because they all work together in perfect harmony.

How Does Your Crown Chakra Become Imbalanced?

1. The chakra beside it is unbalanced 

It may become imbalanced if you have an overly active or underactive third eye chakra (the one next to it). It will try to compensate and therefore become imbalanced.

2. Not trusting what you are receiving 

If you don’t trust the information that is presented to you then this chakra may shrink up. 

For example, let’s say you ask your guides for advice about a particular problem. They answer you and give you all sorts of signs but you think you are making it up and not trusting it, then the crown chakra can become imbalanced. Your lack of trust will shrink it up and the energy will not be flowing as smoothly.

3. You are sick 

If you get a head cold then your crown chakra may temporarily become blocked. The reason for this is that your body is working on healing and therefore the energy from your crown chakra goes to a different area to heal. It should go back to normal when you feel better, but you may not receive as much divine information when you are sick.

4. Poor sleep quality 

If you aren’t sleeping well then your crown chakra may become blocked. Try to get enough rest so that the energy can flow through it.

5. Fear 

Your crown chakra may become blocked if you are in a state of fear for a period of time. If you are going through something and constantly feel fear then your ego has taken control and your crown chakra will shrink as the energy cannot get through all the resistance.

6. Overload of information 

This chakra may also become blocked if you are taking in too much information from outside sources and ignoring your own inner voice. It speaks to you through your intuition and if you are constantly hearing information from everyone else, it can confuse you and therefore cause your crown chakra to become blocked.

How to Heal and Bring Your Crown Chakra Back into Balance

You are perfectly capable of clearing your crown chakra blockages yourself. You can always go to an energy healer to clear them for you, but you are capable of bringing your chakras back into balance. Since everything is energy, just visualizing a clear and balanced crown chakra will clear it up as well as any physical and emotional issues that go with it.

1. Meditate and Visualize 

One of the best ways to bring your crown chakra into balance is to shut off all outside distractions, sit quietly and listen to your inner voice. Pay attention to what it is telling you, trust its guidance and act accordingly. By taking action and gaining that clarity, it will help to bring your crown chakra into balance.

Visualize a spinning violet disk clearing out your crown chakra (about 2 inches above your head). Visualize the violet or white energy flowing through it and clearing it. Keep focusing on it until it feels like it is back in balance.

2. Re-Establish Your Divine Connection 

Talk to your angels and spirit guides and then listen for their guidance. Let them know that you know they are there and that you trust in their guidance.

3. Volunteer 

Volunteering or helping someone in need is another way to bring this chakra into balance. This will re-connect you to the oneness with others and help to re-establish that bond.

4. Rest 

Make sure to get lots of rest as your crown chakra needs it to stay healthy and strong. Your chakra will heal at night when you are sleeping.

All your chakras heal with rest but this one is particularly important as it is the center for your dreams and information can be downloaded through your crown chakra at night. A clear crown chakra will help you to remember your dreams.

You leave through this chakra while you are sleeping to go to the astral plane. You return through it when you wake up. Leaving at night creates a space for spiritual regeneration and physical rest.

5. Know Your Truth 

Trust in the guidance you receive and try to allow that to be your compass. Know that you are capable of following your own inner voice and receiving divine information. Trust that what you receive is divine guidance along your path and know that you are not making it up.

6. Color Therapy 

Bring more violet into your life. This is the same color as the chakra, and it will help to balance it. Wear violet, look at violet and eat violet food.

Notice if you are drawn to the color violet as well because you are drawn to the colors you need and are lacking in your life. For example, if you are drawn to yellow then your solar plexus chakra may need some attention.

Bottom Line: Crown Chakra Blockages

As you can see the crown chakra is a very important chakra. It connects you to the infinite universe and bonds you to others through oneness. It is also your compass for life.

Your crown chakra is where you receive information that will guide you on your journey. Be sure to take some time every day to check in with this chakra and make sure it feels open and balanced to guide you on your path.
