Ask successful people, and you will realize they all have a clear vision to guide them and so their business. Lack of such clarity of vision, and the sense of failure to achieve all that you feel you could, can lead to tension that becomes the root cause of problems such as depression or intense headaches.

Do you suffer from migraines and tension headaches?

Lots of ideas and yet never take any action?

Welcome To The Domain Of The Crown Chakra

Do you feel lost and alone, trying to fit purpose into your work rather than work being a joyful expression of your true purpose?

Leading to emotional fears of spiritual abandonment, loss of identity, and lack of connection with yourself and people around you? All evidenced in the phrase the dark night of the soul”.

More about this is outlined in my story: “Do You Want To Step Beyond The Dark Night Of Your Soul?”

The truth is — nothing will put you where you or you want your business to be until you are in living in harmony with your full potential. Are you ready to live it?

Or, perhaps are you really content to just reach the end of your life and wonder what could have been?…

…the crown chakra, or Sahasrara in Sanskrit, is the energy centre within our body that is responsible for thought, awareness, wisdom, and our connection to the Creator.

Located at the very top of the head, the crown chakra is associated with the colours purple and violet and the pituitary gland within the head. This seventh chakra helps to regulate the energy of our consciousness.

It vibrates at a higher frequency than the third eye chakra and has the highest frequency vibration of the seven prime chakras. Whilst integrating the respective qualities and characteristics of each of the seven.

In addition to representing the highest level of consciousness, knowledge, and wisdom, the seventh chakra provides you with your sense of the world as a whole.

When open it has an impact on, or is influenced by, these topics:

  • How much beauty you can see in the world around you
  • Your excitement levels
  • Motivation to achieve your vision
  • Whether you have a restful sleep
  • Your ability to find peace
  • Your self-worth.

Ready To Free Your Vision?

To better understand the message your crown chakra is sending you, I have placed on YouTube a short video about Secret #7ready to free your vision?

As the crown chakra is associated with knowledge and wisdom, many dis-regard the need for balance and harmony in their life. Thirst for knowledge and learning the new is beneficial, though when it becomes extreme it may have the opposite effect.

When your crown chakra is blocked or unbalanced, this dis-harmony influences the body´s major energy systems. Both the central nervous and muscular systems as well as our largest organ — the skin.

Such imbalances lead you to constantly feel the need to seek approval from others in making any choices, especially money. You are easily affected by your perception of others towards you.

A pursuit such as money will be in control of you. Feeling you cannot live without money.

Common symptoms include depression, a sense of alienation or disconnection from the Creator, and a lack of empathy. Following a lack of vision and inspiration, there will be confusion about what you want to do. Often there will be a desire to oversleep.

Other physical symptoms include poor coordination, chronic tension headaches, and exhaustion. You may also have difficulty in learning anything new, such as people´s names, language, directions, etc. Another indicator is unable to think clearly when under stress or pressure.

Signs of an underactive crown chakra are:

  • Lack of inspiration
  • Greed
  • Materialistic
  • Mental fog

While a deficient crown chakra is passive or energetically “numb”, an excessive crown chakra is energetically aggressive or manic. You over-think everything!

You may then be experiencing a disconnection from your physical body and earthly matters. When your crown chakra is overwhelmed with energy, it can cause you to have a sense of elitism or superiority over others.

Signs of an overactive crown chakra include:

  • Lack of empathy
  • Apathy
  • Sense of elitism
  • Superiority
  • Disconnected from your physical body and earthly matters.

Bringing Harmony Into Your Life

With a result it is difficult to let things go easily, creating problems in your head that did not originally exist. You are over-enthusiastic in chasing the spiritual world, neglecting the needs of your physical body.

Symptoms of a hyperactive crown chakra include cynicism, apathy, egotism, disconnecting from your spirituality, self-destructive addictive tendencies, and mental confusion.

To create harmony in your crown chakra wear the colours purple or violet and eat foods such as aubergine, passion fruit, and red grapes. Another way to balance the crown chakra is to burn cleansing herbs such as sage, juniper, copal, frankincense, and myrrh.

Crystals associated with the seventh chakra are selenite, clear quartz, lepidolite, and sugilite — often known as the love stone.

Six Practices To Allow Your Vision To Flow

Here are six practices you can use to rejuvenate your perspectives, create inner peace and clarity in your life. They will allow your vision to flow. The two most important tools you need are commitment and patience.

1. Stop Believing Your Thoughts

Herein lies a fundamental error in understanding. How can we be our thoughts if we do not control them? You can discover this reality for yourself.

This quote from Byron Katie beautifully summarises the situation:

“I discovered that when I believed my thoughts, I suffered, but that when I didn’t believe them, I didn’t suffer, and that this is true for every human being. Freedom is as simple as that!”

Sit somewhere quiet and turn your attention inwards. Start to notice all the thoughts that drift into your awareness. Did you deliberately create these thoughts? Did you scheme, plan, or create any one of them intentionally?

Rather they just arise spontaneously from the vast abyss of your mind. Therefore, how can you be your thoughts? Furthermore, who is it that is observing them?

Then set your intent on your desires and vision. Once they crystallize, take action to bring them into creation.

2. Energy Work

Any type of energy work is a good way to improve and maintain the health of your crown chakra. Examples include qigong, falun gong, reiki, yoga, tai chi, acupuncture, acupressure, massage, EFT, and many others.

3. Extend Yourself

Open your crown chakra by extending your wisdom, stepping out of dead and limiting perspectives. Whatever you read, watch or hear, do so with self-growth as your intent. Acknowledge this guidance from Socrates:

“the more I learn, the less I realise I know”

4. Clear Out The Old

Simplify your surroundings. An excess of belongings and mess has been proven to create mental and emotional distress. When cleaning and simplifying your surroundings, you are also creating similar purification within.

5. Explore Plant Medicine

Plants can be sacred teachers that give us direct experiences of the Creator and ourselves. Some of the most mystical and life-changing experience I have ever enjoyed has been during shamanic journeys, both for myself and guiding others. The plant teacher I use is the Saõ Pedro cactus growing at our Quinta in Portugal.

Others include Psilocybin mushrooms or Ayahuasca. My caution is to never take them when alone.

6. Commit To Your Own Daily Practice

Only you can build a strong connection to Spirit. Create a space in or around your house where you complete your daily practice. Mark it with any items which reflect your intent.

The daily practice is as diverse as humanity. It might include meditating, practicing yoga or qigong, praying, doing rituals, reading and studying sacred books, singing, drawing divination cards, creating art, watching nature, practicing visualization or self-hypnosis…

…the combinations are endless! Just ensure you do what feels authentic to you.

Three Core Components Of The New Era

There is no need to copy anyone. Create a daily ritual that nourishes your soul.

This will be even more essential in 2022 as we accelerate the birth of this new age. It has three core components:

  1. Accessing your inner knowing to create beyond what currently exists, innovating using your unique abilities, gifts and skills;
  2. Co-creating with your community to support your work; and
  3. Allowing the unique multi-dimensional presence of your own energy field, full potential self, and awareness of all that is to guide you.

This will need your crown chakra to be open and balanced, as only then will you no longer feel disconnected from people around you. Instead, that sense of isolation will be replaced with a feeling of belonging and interconnectedness with all of life and the Creator.

Then you will have full awareness of your emotional as well as a spiritual presence. Being aware of the world and its existence. Not being judgemental and so being an excellent learner, as you appreciate your experiences as new lessons in life. Therefore, you are able to absorb new lessons effortlessly — to create beyond what currently exists.

You will know you are home.

Why is having a vision important?

Because understanding it clarifies your purpose, life becomes simpler and more meaningful as a result. Then your vision can guide your decisions, which ultimately create your lifestyle.

To quote Theodore Roosevelt´s guidance:

“keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground”.

There is more to these words than it may seem. Yes, set objectives for yourself, have great ambitions and have high expectations for your life and your evolution. However, do not forget to remain grounded and humble. Be realistic about your life, while never letting go of your dream and your vision.

Your Vision Will Create Harmony In Your Life

In other words, remain connected to your guidance from the Creator, not your ego.

When your crown chakra is hyperactive, you tend to overthink a lot. Creating problems in your head that were not originally there. You are over-enthusiastic in chasing the spiritual world that you neglect the needs of your physical body.

Harmony is then no longer present in your life.

When you have a healthy crown chakra, there is self-realization you have permission to create as much money as you like, spend it the way you want. You acknowledge that you are not your money and you have control over it. What other people may say about money does not affect you for you are balanced within yourself.

So, enabling access to the upmost clarity and enlightened wisdom which is available to us all. Which in turn brings feelings of serenity, joy, and deep peace about life.

As the seventh chakra represents our connection to higher guidance, it is only fitting Mount Kailash in the Himalayas is the location of Mother Earth´s crown chakra.

We are in a moment of epic change as we leave the Piscean era of separation for the Aquarian age of collaboration. Our bodies will indicate whether or not the vision we hold is creating harmony in our life.

So please DO share and pass this story to others you love.
