Introduction: The Energy of Healing & Wholeness

We are more than our thoughts and emotions; we are energy. Every experience, every memory, and every unspoken truth leaves an imprint in the body. Over time, these energetic imprints shape how we feel, think, and relate to the world.

The chakra system, an ancient map of seven main energy centers, offers a profound lens to understand where we hold tension, trauma, or disconnection. When a chakra is blocked or imbalanced, it manifests as emotional patterns, relational struggles, or even physical symptoms.

Through awareness and gentle healing, we can bring these energy centers back into alignment, reconnecting to our authentic power, purpose, and inner peace.

Each blog in this series will guide you through one chakra at a time, helping you understand what it governs, how imbalance shows up, and how to restore harmony through self-awareness, embodiment, and emotional healing.

We start at the Root, and make our way up, all the way to the Crown (which you've arrived at in this blog post)

The Energy of the Crown Chakra

The Crown Chakra, or Sahasrara in Sanskrit, is the seventh and highest chakra, located at the top of your head. It represents your connection to higher consciousness, divine guidance, and the universal flow of life.

When this chakra is open and balanced, you feel deep peace, faith, purpose, and trust, even when life feels uncertain. You sense that you are guided, supported, and connected to something greater than yourself.

When blocked, you may feel disconnected, skeptical, lost, or spiritually numb, caught in the illusion of separation.

Signs of a Blocked or Imbalanced Crown Chakra

The Crown Chakra can become imbalanced through disconnection, chronic stress, overthinking, or spiritual bypassing. When the lower chakras (safety, emotional grounding, self-worth) are not stable, it’s hard to feel spiritually connected.

Signs of a Blocked Crown Chakra:

• Feeling directionless or hopeless

• Disconnection from purpose or meaning

• Cynicism toward spirituality

• Mental fog or confusion

• Fatigue, depression, or apathy

Signs of an Overactive Crown Chakra:

• Escapism or excessive “spiritual” detachment

• Neglect of the physical body

• Difficulty grounding ideas or integrating insights

Healing this chakra is about embodying spirituality (whatever that means to you), not escaping life, but living with faith, presence, and alignment. The crown chakra, and spirituality embody your relationship to life, others and the creator of it all (whether you call it God, Jesus, the Universe, etc). This is about you and life. No strings attached. No preconceived rules. And certainly, no hate.

If this is an area of struggle for you, check out my ebook The Aligned Woman or The Aligned Man. It's designed to support you in healing more than just your connection to life, but also your financial abundance, relationships, self-confidence and more! You're also welcome to book a consultation with me, if you feel aligned, to receive professional 1:1 support from a trauma therapist and energy healer (me): https://www.martajustyna.com/services-6

The Crown Chakra & Spiritual Connection

The Crown Chakra is your energetic bridge to the divine, the knowing that there is order and intelligence beyond what the mind can control (relieving, isn't it?). It governs faith, unity, trust, and transcendence.

When blocked, you might cling to control or logic, struggling to trust in 'divine timing'. When healed, you experience surrender (not compliance); a peaceful alignment with the flow of life.

Affirm: “I trust the path unfolding before me. I am supported by the Universe.”

How to Heal and Open the Crown Chakra

Healing the Crown Chakra doesn’t require effort; it requires softening (which is really hard to do until you heal your trauma, cough, cough). It’s about releasing the need to know how and learning to rest in the knowing that you are guided.

1. Cultivate Stillness and Silence

The Crown Chakra speaks through silence. Meditation, breathwork, or simply sitting in stillness allows divine guidance to reach you.

Try starting your day with five minutes of mindful presence, no goal, no forcing, just breathing and receiving (yes, please!).

Affirm: “I am open to divine wisdom. I am one with Source.”

2. Practice Faith and Surrender

Faith isn’t about blind optimism — it’s about trusting life even when you can’t see the full picture. When your mind wants control, place a hand on your heart and say: “Even when I don’t understand, I choose to trust.”

Surrender is not giving up or being passive; it’s about leaning into what genuinely feels good for you (in mind, body and spirit) and trusting that what you are hoping to become is possible, and supported by a force much greater than all of us.

3. Anchor Spirituality in the Body

Many people try to access higher consciousness by escaping the body, but embodiment is the key. Your spirit expresses through your physical self.

Ground yourself through movement, touch, nature, and mindful eating. Each embodied act becomes a living prayer, a way to bring heaven into earth.

Affirm: “My body is sacred. Through it, I experience divine energy.”

4. Reflect on Oneness and Connection

The Crown Chakra awakens when you recognize that separation is an illusion. Every being, every experience, every challenge carries purpose.

Practices that expand awareness:

• Gratitude journaling for both “light” and “shadow” experiences

• Compassion meditations for humanity

• Observing synchronicities without judgment

• Spending time in nature to remember you’re part of a greater whole

5. Let Go of Over-Identification With Ego

When the ego dominates, we identify only with our roles, fears, or achievements (I'm calling you out, high-achievers). Healing the Crown Chakra means returning to the truth of who you are beyond form, pure consciousness, love, and awareness.

Ask:

• Who am I when I’m not trying to prove myself?

• What remains when I release striving?

• Can I rest in simply being?

Affirm: “I am a divine being having a human experience.”

Healing the Crown Chakra After Disconnection or Trauma

Trauma can make trust in yourself, others, or spirit feel unsafe. The Crown Chakra closes when life feels chaotic or unsupported. This is noticeable when we struggle with 'if there's a God, how can there be suffering'. This closure is particularly apparent after the loss of a loved one, more so when they're young, or a wholeheartedly good person. As mentioned, you are welcome to book a call with me if your heart needs healing.

Healing involves rebuilding safety through the lower chakras first (Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus). Once the body feels safe, the spirit can reopen to trust, flow, and faith.

Affirm: “It is safe to believe again. I am never alone.”

The Gift of a Balanced Crown Chakra

When balanced, you live in deep alignment with your higher purpose. You experience peace beyond circumstance and trust that every step, even the uncertain ones, is guided.

You no longer chase spiritual awakening; you embody it. You are spirit.

Signs of a balanced Crown Chakra:

• Inner peace and clarity

• Strong connection to intuition and purpose

• Ease with uncertainty

• Gratitude and surrender

• Deep faith in divine timing
