Crown Chakra Meditation
Start with yourself in the Anjali Mudra. Be aware of your pelvic floor and make sure that you are relaxed and grounded during this time. Notice your spine and make sure that you are resting at each chakra as you go.
Think of the spine like a reed and be aware of it. After you get to the crown of your head, imagine that the energy is shining with a white lotus flower. Let the lotus begin to open with each petal opening. Imagine it opening and your inner self coming out and becoming one with the universe. Let this be natural and spend as much time here as you want.

Seated Crown Chakra Meditation
One way that you can connect with your crown chakra is to meditate. There are different methods that you can use, and you should find the one that works best for you.
To start with this, make sure that you are in a comfortable position and that you are sitting in a comfortable way. You can rest your hands on your thighs, and you can take deep breaths. Turn your head left and right and then to the center and look up and down. Notice all the things around you and be mindful of the things that are in the room with you. Notice how everything is related to each other. Don’t judge, just notice.
After you do this for a while, close your eyes. Go back to your inner self and see what is going on inside of you. Be aware of who you are. Look at what is good and messy inside of you. Go to your crown chakra. Spend time looking at a lotus flower. As it opens, imagine a golden light coming into your body and down your spine. Watch as your spine expands, and the lotus covers your whole body. This is all connected to your awareness. Do this for at least 5 minutes.
Once you are done, open your eyes, take some deep breaths, and relax. Allow yourself to relax in your whole body and do this long enough to feel at peace before you start or continue on your day.
While yoga may have its benefits, this article seems overly idealistic. The idea that simply practicing yoga can lead to spiritual enlightenment is a bit far-fetched. It requires more than just poses; it demands a deep commitment and understanding. 🤔
This article provides a solid overview of various yoga practices linked to chakra alignment. It’s essential to recognize that each individual may experience different benefits based on their unique needs and lifestyle choices.
@InformedIvy, while I appreciate your take, let’s not forget that many people might be drawn to yoga for fitness alone, not necessarily spiritual enlightenment or chakra balancing!
But isn’t that the beauty of yoga? It helps you confront those challenges in a more mindful way! It’s not just about the poses; it’s about the journey.
I think Sam makes an interesting point. While yoga is beneficial, spiritual growth often requires facing deeper personal challenges rather than just practicing poses.
‘Open your heart’? Oh sure, let me just unlock my emotional baggage while balancing on one leg in Warrior Pose! Who knew achieving inner peace was so physically demanding? 🙄
@SarcasticSally, while it may seem challenging, many find that physical discomfort often leads to emotional breakthroughs. You never know what you might discover!
‘Imagine your inner self becoming one with the universe.’ Sounds great, but I can barely manage to become one with my couch after a long day! 😂 Maybe I need a ‘Sofa Pose’ instead!
I absolutely love this article! It beautifully highlights the connection between yoga and spiritual enlightenment. I’ve been practicing yoga for years, and I can personally attest to its transformative effects on both my mind and body. 🌟
