How to Energize the Crown Chakra

The crown chakra is an energy field linked to the nervous system, brain and pineal gland. Located just above the crown of the head, this chakra is said to be the link between body and soul. What follows are energy techniques designed to charge the crown chakra.

Instructions

1. Sit in a comfortable position and center yourself. Visualize energy being pulled up from the earth through your spine and spreading throughout your body. Next picture a beam of healing energy flowing down your head and through your body. When you feel the calm flow of energy, proceed to the next step.

2. Picture a shaft of white light entering your crown chakra and flowing like liquid energy throughout your entire body. Continue this exercise for 10 to 20 minutes, noting any changes that you feel.

3. Stimulate the chakra points in your hands and feet. With your palms facing down, gently apply pressure to the area on the end and tip of your thumb. Massage clockwise for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat this procedure with each foot, locating the point on the end and tip of your big toe.

4. Meditate with a candle. Light a candle and sit in a comfortable position. Concentrate on your natural breathing rhythm for 5 minutes to quiet your mind. When you are ready, focus on the candle flame until your eyes tire. Close your eyes and try to see the candle in your mind's eye. When the picture fades, open your eyes and return your focus to the flame. The goal for this meditation is to remain focused on the candle as long as possible without breaking your concentration. Continue this meditation for 20 minutes.
