The Crown Chakra, known as Sahasrara, is the centre of consciousness, spiritual connection, and higher awareness. It sits at the top of the head and represents your connection to something greater than yourself.
When this chakra is balanced, you feel a deep sense of peace, trust, and connection to life. When it becomes blocked or imbalanced, you may feel disconnected, lost, or spiritually closed off.
This chakra is where awareness expands beyond the self.
You can explore the full chakra system in more detail in my chakra healing page where I guide you through each energy centre and how they work together.
