Sahasrara Chakra and Yoga- 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

The Crown Chakra energy is focused at the top of the head and is associated with the color purple and our understanding.

Sahasrara 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!

Parivrtta Baddha Ardha Chandrasana- This pose integrates total-body awareness and provides opportunity for opening only by softening up. Find a steady gaze and the pose will become easier.

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.  

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, Sahasrara chakra and yoga included. Take the Journey full journey: Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye, and Crown.
