The mind is everything. What you think you become.
- Buddha

The Crown is represented by the thousand petal lotus. The lotus represents purity of the body, speech and mind, as if floating above the murky waters of material attachment and physical desire. The crown chakra is a doorway or pipeline for divine intervention and light. Through this chakra we connect to heaven and if properly connected we can bring heaven unto Earth. Just how Buddha says, what we think we become. You have the power of choice to make real what you want to be real.

Balanced Crown:

One will have the ability to perceive, analyze, and assimilate information. Intelligent, thoughtful, aware. One is also open-minded and able to question. They are spiritually connected and have the ability to understand. Also very spiritually connected.

Imbalanced Crown:

If you are experiencing spiritual cynicism, learning difficulties, rigid belief systems, apathy, excess in the lower chakras— materialism, greed, domination of others, then your crown chakra is not balanced.

Understanding the crown chakra helps us understand how we are the co-creators of our reality. It is our birthright to be connected and close to God, Source, Oneness. We can become more fluid and manifesting generators if we learn to have communion with ourselves which reflects as God.

Now let us rest here. The next set of chakra posts will contain questions and practices for stabilizing and balancing.
