What is the Crown Chakra?

The Crown Chakra is the seventh chakra and is associated with enlightenment, spiritual awakening and connection to our higher selves. The Sanskrit meaning is "thousand-fold lotus" which refers to the boundless wisdom that we hold within. 

When working with the crown chakra or head, I typically find that this is the area that holds the most stress. It is here that I get whispers about the issues causing you stress or confusion and the messages you need to hear to help heal and move forward. As it is the chakra most closely linked to the cosmos, it will also give the most clues as to how rooted you are in the material world and what you can do to feel more connected.
