Crown Chakra

Crown chakra, also known as the “thousand-petaled lotus”, is the 7th energy center from the bottom, located at the top of your head.

You can think of your highest chakra as a receiver of consciousness from the Source, which keeps you connected with the Divine and your Higher Self. This chakra offers you a sense of awareness that there is a deeper significance and order in life, regulating all of creation.

Some of the main functions of crown chakra are:

• Spirituality

• Consciousness

• Self-Realization

• Enlightenment

• Life Purpose

• Fulfillment

 

Stones associated with the crown chakra are violet and white (or clear), as these are the two main colors of the 7th energy center.

Violet is a color of spirituality, reflection, and self-awareness. Violet crown chakra stones will give you an inward feeling of unity, integrity, and wholeness. 

White is another color that is often associated with the crown chakra. White represents purity, perfection, innocence, and new beginnings.

White crown chakra stones will encourage you to remain calm, focused, and keep your mind open.
