There are seven chakras inside the body and these chakras can decide what kind of energies you have. The energies make up your vibrations and it is important that your chakras are balanced so that you can have positive feelings and thoughts.
When the chakras are blocked, you have to do some kind of cleansing. You can do this yourself or you can visit a practitioner such as an energy healer, a reiki master or even a yoga instructor. All of these people can help you.
But, if you decide to do this on your own, there are some poses that will help you and some crystals that can get your chakras back on track.
Crown Chakra
The crown chakra is the seventh chakra, and it is found at the top of your head. This is where you reach your higher self and your higher thought. This is the chakra that lets you reach your higher consciousness. When balanced, this chakra helps you to reach your spiritual gifts and have a deep understanding.
The crown chakra is also called the Sahasrara which means “thousand petals,” and it brings balance to the mind, body, and soul.
This chakra is symbolized by the color white, violet, clear or gold.
Crown Chakra Opening
When the crown chakra is balanced, you aren’t ruled by your ego and, you are positive. You know that things will work out for the best good and you can reach your destiny. Here are some symptoms that your crown chakra is blocked:
- Confusion.
- Removing yourself from the world.
- Wanting to sleep too much.
- Unable to focus.
- Focused too much on the spiritual world.
- Tired.
- Headaches.
- Depression and anxiety.
- Bad coordination.
- Sensitivity to light.
- Sensitivity to sound.
- Uncontrolled emotions.
This chakra represents your spiritual self and enlightenment, and it is normally the last chakra that is opened. When it is time for it to open you might feel dizzy or drowsy. Here are some symptoms of the crown chakra opening up:
- Changes in how you sleep.
- Vivid dreaming.
- Strong intuition.
- Psychic abilities showing.
- Being aware of the universe and who you are.
- Able to separate energies from your external environment.

Crystals
Crystals can help you to open up your crown chakra and here are the ones that are the most powerful for this:
- Clear Quartz
This is a crystal that can open your heart and mind and get rid of energy blocks. Put the clear quarts in your hands while you meditate, and the energy will flow freely. At night you can put it under your pillow if you have problem sleeping or if you have nightmares to help you sleep.
- Selenite
This is a powerful stone that will encourage you to open your mind and to see things differently. If you don’t know what decision to make, selenite can take away your stress and help you to use your intuition wisely. It can also open you up to get messages from a higher place and can get rid of stress and headaches.

Amethyst is one that can help you to get rid of stress and anxiety. It is used to open up the third eye and can help you to connect with your higher self and your intuition. Use this when you meditate, and you can concentrate better, and you can use wisdom. It also helps if you need more love.

Howlite is a stone that is grey or cream colored. It will help you to connect with your destiny and align your mind to use logic and courage to reach your highest good. You can use this if you aren’t sure what to do or you have a hard decision to make.
- Lepidolite
This stone is pink or purple and it can help you to have mental clarity. It is one that will help you to judge things rightly and if you have anxiety and health issues that cause you to make bad decisions you can use this stone. It can also help you to feel happy and increase your joy and vibrations.
- Moonstone
Moonstone is one that is nurturing, and it uses feminine energy. It will connect you with your yin energy and will help you to have unconditional love for yourself and others. Use this if you have a bad opinion of yourself to give you more power.
- White Calcite
If you have beliefs that are limiting, then you can use this stone. It will help you to talk better about yourself and will give you harmony in your mind, body, and soul.
Using Crown Chakra Crystals
Here are some ways that you can use crown chakra crystals:

- Put them under your pillow while you sleep.
- Hold them while you say positive affirmations.
- Put the crystals in your bath.

It is important that you keep your crown chakra strong and powerful so that you can develop in your physical and spiritual self. When you have an open crown chakra, you will be able to have peace and you will love yourself and others unconditionally.
This will give you power to be able to have good energies and high vibrations. Once you have your power, you will have less stress because you will be more connected to the universe. This will help you to have better thoughts about who you really are.

Using crystals like howlite for decision-making? That’s quite a stretch.
It might sound odd, but sometimes the placebo effect can be very powerful. If it helps you feel more confident, why not?
Hilarious! So, next time I have a headache, I just need a piece of clear quartz under my pillow? Why didn’t my doctor tell me this?
Great information on the different crystals! I’ve always been curious about how to use them effectively in my meditation practices.
The symptoms of a blocked crown chakra sound like they could be related to a variety of health issues. It’s important to consult a healthcare professional as well.
This article provides a comprehensive guide on balancing the crown chakra. I’ve always found that using crystals like amethyst truly enhances my meditation practice. Thank you for the detailed information!
Oh sure, just bunny-hop into a rabbit pose and all your problems will be solved! This is so over the top.
Exactly. Yoga and meditation have been practiced for centuries and have clear benefits. No need to be dismissive.
Sarcasm aside, yoga has been proven to have numerous health benefits. Even if you don’t believe in chakras, the physical practice is still beneficial.
Balancing your chakras can truly transform your mental and emotional health. I’ve seen significant improvements in my life since I started focusing on my energy centers. Highly recommend!
Really? Crystals and chakras? I can’t believe people still buy into this nonsense. There’s no scientific evidence to support any of these claims.
I find it fascinating how each chakra has a different way to balance it. However, I’m curious about the scientific basis behind these practices.
Some studies suggest that mindfulness and meditation can have positive effects on mental health, and chakra balancing can be seen as a form of that.
There’s a lot of ancient wisdom in these practices that modern science hasn’t fully explored yet. Keep an open mind!
The concept of chakra balancing is intriguing. It’s a holistic approach that complements traditional therapies well. I’ve personally found it very helpful.
