The crown chakra is the seventh chakra. It is associated with deep inner searching, self-realisation, meaning and fulfilment, divine wisdom and understanding of humanity, spirituality, devotion, conscious evolution, and enlightenment.

Psychological Functions: Knowingness, wisdom, inspiration, charisma, awareness, higher self, meditation, self-sacrificing, and visionary.

Physical Issues: Top of head, highest brain centres, pineal gland, central nervous system, hair growth, neuralgia, and senility.

Emotional Issues: Faith, wisdom and spirituality; selflessness; power to view situations from an expanded perspective; ability to trust life; sense of oneness with all creation; and mental illness and alienation.

The crown chakra’s energy will be out of balance if, for example, you: live a life without faith; put conditions on your spiritual experience; reject guidance unless it comes in a form you approve; display religious prejudice; complain or bargain with the Divine; and search for answers outside yourself.
