The crown chakra or the Sahasrara is the seventh major chakra (see What Are the Chakras). Most people recognize it for its role in spiritual growth and connection. When you balance your crown chakra, you gain clarity about your calling or mission. But to do this, you need to let go of whatever limiting beliefs you have that obscure your authentic vision and awareness.
Some common and effective ways to balance the crown are toning using the crown bija, om; crystal or color therapy; and a whole variety of energy healing practices. Here, we’ll focus on another aspect of energy relevant to the Sahasrara: the energy of thoughts and beliefs, and in particular limiting beliefs.
Your Crown Chakra’s Role In Finding Your Calling
The Sahasrara is the doorway to the subconscious and the seat of your spirituality (i.e., your core beliefs about being and beyond, what you hold sacred, and your soul’s purpose.) It’s also your point of connection to the greater universe, the divine or universal energy. It’s your window onto non-ordinary reality.
When the crown is out of balance, you have difficulties finding meaning or defining your purpose. This can manifest as indecisiveness, self-doubt, and confusion.
In contrast, when you balance your crown chakra, you gain clarity and confidence in your inner reflections, intuition, and the guidance you receive. You’re more decisive about your purpose and committed to your personal mission.
Thoughts and Limiting Beliefs and How They Relate to the Crown Chakra
Thoughts are simply conscious ideas produced by thinking. They’re mental language-based interpretations and expressions of your experiences and rememberings. Furthermore, and important to healthy crown chakra functioning, your thoughts can represent accurate or inaccurate remembrances.
A belief, on the other hand, is a thought or group of thoughts you hold to be true. Just like thoughts from which they are formed, your beliefs can be mistaken.
Everything is made of energy. Thus, thoughts and beliefs are energetic too. As such, all your different thoughts and beliefs are expressed as frequencies. Their energy expression can be spacious, free-flowing, and dynamic. Alternatively, they can feel dense, constrictive, and rigid.
Finally, limiting beliefs are beliefs that block a person’s mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, or energetic flow. Consequently, they impede or prevent life from moving forward. In this way, they’re toxic. You’ll want to release them to balance your crown chakra. For examples of limiting beliefs, see my blog post 60 Limiting Belief Examples.
So, in addition, to classic energy healing treatments, more conventional thought work will help to sustainably release the congested and restricted energy of limiting beliefs and change your mindset, thoughts, and beliefs to those that authentically define your purpose and your mission. This is true for those big questions and decisions as well as your day-to-day living.
