Crown Chakra: Guide to the Seventh Chakra

The seventh chakra is the crown chakra or the thousand-petal lotus. The crown chakra acts as the operating system of the chakras and is located at the top of the head.  

Chakras are “Wheels” that refer to the energy field in our human body. 

Your energy field is a reflection of your physical, emotional and spiritual conditions and it is extremely sensitive. When you suffer from disease and sickness, you develop blockages in your energy field.

The Crown Chakra

The Crown Chakra is the seventh of seven chakras in the human body. It is the highest chakra and is often referred to as the thousand petal lotus.

The Crown Chakra relates to consciousness and awareness. It is our connection to the world we don’t see – a space less place of all-knowing, wisdom, higher self and divine connection.
