Seeking deeper connection to the world and your place in it? Feeling unstable, confused or lacking focus? These may be signs that your seventh energy center could use some cuddling – and Crown Chakra Affirmations might just power your purpose!
Affirmations are positive statements – declarations that compliment who you are or confirm who you wish to be – that can help you challenge and overcome negative thoughts, encourage yourself, boost self-esteem, relieve anxiety, increase self-love, and expand upon the tangible as well as the mystical properties of the chakras.
How? They stimulate the areas in your brain that make you more likely to effect positive change in regard to yourself and your health.
Repeating affirmations can help you harness the power of your emotions and put them to positive use. They are powerful tools for cleansing, balancing and manifesting. Truly believing what you’re affirming is crucial to invoking the ancient magic of affirmations – which science now supports – in daily life.

What Is The Crown Chakra?
Sahasrara – the Sanskrit name for the Crown Chakra – translates to:
“Thousand-Petaled” and represents a thousand-petaled lotus flower.
Sahasrara is the seventh energy center in the body. The Crown Chakra is associated with the color violet or white and the element of thought or “beyond elements.”
Located just above the top of your head, Sahasrara is the only main Chakra that sits outside of the body. Referred to as “the bridge to the cosmos,” this energy center connects one with the supreme Self. Awakening the Crown Chakra leads to the flow of universal energy and can invoke spiritual enlightenment.
The seventh Chakra is the point where one communes with the Divine, Source, Higher Power or Universe. The Crown is the center of wisdom, spirit, universal consciousness, enlightenment and connection to a greater guidance and our highest potential.Sahasrara governs interaction and communication with the Universe, one’s senses of devotion and inspiration, union with the Self and the Divine, and deeper understanding. It allows us to discover our purpose and is responsible for a healthy spiritual life.
All of the Chakras are linked, so a balanced or blocked Crown Chakra affects the health of the other Chakras too. Why? Energy needs to circulate through the body in order for us to be healthy – physically, emotionally, energetically and spiritually. When the Chakras are aligned it flows, when they’re blocked it’s stagnant.
Indications of a Balanced Crown Chakra
When the Crown Chakra is open we embody our highest self and experience spiritual growth – expanding wisdom and consciousness. Alignment within Sahasrara elevates connection to one’s soul and allows the practitioner to gain a sense of power and unity, and access to:
- Self-Knowledge — here one is able to access infinite wisdom, self-realization or enlightenment
- Spiritual Connection – deep union with the Divine, the ability to communicate with a Higher Power
- Contentment – the highest level of gratitude, pure consciousness
Someone with a balanced Sahasrara Chakra likely feels content, clear and connected – to all there ever was, all there is, all there will be. They are immensely grateful for the small and big things in life. They are know themselves and understand the world and their place in it. They’re probably very wise and are willing to share their wisdom.
Crown Chakra Blockages
Key responsibilities of the Crown Chakra are to access connection and wisdom. The capacity to know our Self and our purpose are empowered or prevented here.
Symptoms of a Blocked Crown Chakra
The Chakras spin and attract energy that is on the same frequency, and in turn sends it back out – like attracts like. The more positive energy a chakra consumes, the more positive energy it releases and the more positivity it magnetizes back. However, the same goes for negativity.
Presence and awareness are crucial when it comes to unblocking, attracting and manifesting.
As with the other energy centers, the two main reasons your Crown Chakra may not function properly are due to an overactive or under-active flow of energy (prana). When Sahasrara is out of balance, we may struggle to focus or understand things, feel disconnected from ourselves, or experience other destructive emotions such as:
- Mental – confusion, lack of empathy, inability to connect dots in large and small issues, poor focus
- Emotional – obsessed with spirituality to an addictive point (such as too much meditation), disconnection from the world and the Universe
- Physical – headaches, eye issues, difficulty sleeping
Crown Chakra Affirmations Can Help
There are affirmations to help elevate our ability to connect with ourselves, others and the Divine, as well as stability of wellness including physical, mental and emotional health and spirituality.
How To Choose An Affirmation
Simply choose an existing affirmation that resonates with you in the moment – reading it feels like a cuddle or elicits an emotional response or inspiration. Or create one for yourself – this may come to you intuitively, or you might be inspired by ours.
The affirmations here are only suggestions. Please feel free to add affirmations for the Crown Chakra that feel empowering, leave behind those that do not, or come up with your own!
How To Practice Crown Chakra Affirmations
Everyones’ style varies – according to body type, time available, emotional and energetic needs, state of mind, time of month, etc – and it’s likely that your choices will evolve through the short and long seasons of life pending how you’re feeling and what you’re seeking.
Here are some loose guidelines and tips to get started. Feel free to experiment and sculpt accordingly to suit your needs!
- To practice Crown Chakra meditation, find a sweet spot – many prefer a quiet place.
- Get comfortable, like you would for meditation – seated or lying down, with the spine as straight as possible.
- Focus on the space just above your head – between the brows and directly down through your crown – the location of the Crown Chakra. You might take a few slow, gentle circles of your head to help hone in on Sahasrara. See if you can find and feel a point of focus.
- Breathe. Consider trying sama vritti – often called equal or coherent breathing – where the length of the exhalation matches the length of the inhalation. No prescribed count, your own pace, rolling circularly from inhale to exhale and back again whilst focusing on the Crown.
- Read your chosen affirmation over and over, committing it to memory if possible. Perhaps eventually softening your gaze or closing your eyes, if that feels safe, as you continue to say it aloud or silently.
- As you repeat the affirmation, visualize the violet or white color of the Crown Chakra and imagine it flowing into your energy center. This may appear as an expansion of the color from the center through your body into the space around you, or an increase in vibrancy or saturation, with your inhalation, followed by the color shrinking back to a small point or soft glow with the contraction of your exhalation. Here, strive to let something greater flow through your crown, into your brain, all the way through your body and back up again – perhaps visualized as a column of bright light in which you sit still as it cascades through and around you.
- Truly, deeply engage – immerse in the feeling of the words of the Crown Chakra affirmation.
- Tip – if you need a little extra to amp your concentration, try chanting the seed mantra for the Crown Chakra: OM or AUM.
