A balanced energy center at your crown supports brain and spiritual health.
Your Energy Centers
Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning disc or wheel. It is believed to have originated in India and is first referenced in ancient Vedic texts linked to both yoga and Ayurveda. Your Chakras are spinning wheels of energy, and the Chakra system is the energy system of your body, responsible for your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. They can be found in your spiritual body, sharing space and aligning with your physical body.
Balanced energy centers ensure that you are running at peak possible performance. Imbalances can manifest in your physical and emotional body in predictable ways.
Correspondence and Function
Each energy center corresponds with an element that relates to its function. The energy center at your crown is Sahasrara in Sanskrit, corresponds with the element of ether and relates to understanding.
A balanced energy center at your crown supports a healthy brain and a strong connection to your higher self/higher power.
Glandular Alignment
Your 7 main energy centers exist in your spiritual body and are aligned with the endocrine centers in your physical body.
The energy center at your crown aligns with your pituitary gland. The pituitary is known as the master gland.
The pituitary gland produces hormones that influence how you respond to stress and how your maintain fluid levels. It also communicates with the other glands in your endocrine system triggering the production of their particular hormones.
Physical Areas Influenced
The energy center at your crown is located in the space just above the crown of your head and governs your cerebral cortex. It influences your brain and central nervous system.
Energy centers effect and are effected by physical function. This is the area that processes information received through each of your sensory organs, governs language, and voluntary movement.
It is important to note that energy centers are not clearly defined areas and their energy and influence blends with other energy centers, both large and small.
Signs of Balance
A person with a balanced energy center at their crown would feel connected, be open to ideas and eager to learn, and have a healthy spiritual life.
A balanced energetic crown supports comprehension and understanding.
Signs of Imbalance:
Physical signs of an energetic imbalance at the crown include:
- confusion
- epilepsy
- glandular issues
- paralysis
Emotional signs of an energetic crown imbalance include:
- alienation

Bringing Balance
Your energy system is influenced by exposure to the world around you from other living beings to a variety of other things including your food, drink, and even your thoughts. This exposure has a direct effect on how each individual Chakra functions. Because it is a system, the function of each energy center has an impact on the whole system.
Information about tools for bringing and maintaining balance is not medical advice, nor should it be used in place of seeing a medical professional if and when you experience issues. Holistic tools should be considered a complement to any allopathic treatment that you may need.
Also, not everyone reacts in the same way to natural ingredients and allergies are common. Do not use anything that you have reacted to in the past, or if you suspect a sensitivity exists. Contact a medical professional with personal safety questions.
There are many tools that can support your balanced energy system. In this post we will look at the following:
- color
- gemstones, crystals, and minerals
- scent
- fuel or food
- herbs
Color
Color is controversial regarding balancing energy centers. I have personally found that it influences my mood and balance. There is also a great deal of information available on the psychology of color. Even if it is just a placebo effect, the purpose of this information is not to diagnose or prescribe. If using color to bring balance speaks to you, do it. If not, maybe another tool will resonate.
The energy center at your crown responds to the color violet. In addition to its spiritual connection, purple is also considered the color of nobility or royalty. It communicates power and luxury while encouraging a calm emotional state.
Gemstone, Crystals, and Minerals
Gemstones, crystals, and minerals support balanced energy centers through a process called entrainment. Both energy centers and crystals vibrate at specific frequencies. If you have an unbalanced energy center, bring a stone that vibrates at a frequency near or equal to it near your energy center. The vibration of the stone will entrain the energy of the Chakra, returning it to balance.
Clear Quartz is a crystal that vibrates at the highest frequency like the energy center at your crown. Through entrainment it brings your crown back into balance.
Use clear quartz in a crystal elixir then sip throughout the day. Recline to meditate then place clear quartz above your crown. Use clear quartz instead of a candle for gazing meditations. Wear it at your ears, neck, or left hand, keeping above the level of your heart.
Scent
Scent can trigger memories, mentally transport you through time and space, and bring balance to your energy centers.
Myrhh is a scent that connects us to rituals that support a variety of spiritual connections. It also connects us to the energy center at the crown.
Use the resin on a brazier to create aromatic smoke, or place it in a sachet.
Fuel or Food
Each energy center responds to a specific fuel. This ranges from fasting to indulging in what we consider comfort food.
A lack of physical fuel feeds the energy center at your crown. Fasting supports gut health and may extend life span. It encourages growth hormone secretion, boosts brain function, and enhances cognition.
These benefits can be realized through a variety of fasting techniques.
Talk to your doctor before starting any fasting process to ensure that it is safe for you.
Herbs
Herbs are popular not only as complementary wellness practice but in allopathic medicine as well. They are flexible in usage and many herbs have a wide range of benefits.
One herb that is supportive of the energy center at your crown is Tulsi aka Holy Basil. It has long been used in the practice of Ayuveda.
Tulsi is an adaptogenic herb helping the body to modulate the effects of stress. Adaptogenic herbs best support you when used regularly. Consider adding Tulsi to your wellness routine versus using intermittently.
Tulsi also supports memory, concentration, and cerebral circulation.
