Do you always need to be right? Do you usually feel overwhelmed or lack inspiration? The purpose of the Crown is to bring unity consciousness into earth-plane reality. It makes a person feel whole and connected with others. The energy here promotes clear communication on all levels: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
When you feel intuitive and inspired, the Crown is probably open. When you see patterns in events around you or have a sudden understanding of self, it means the Crown has been activated. You experience oneness with all things and everyone. Essential Oils also aid us in the process of opening up and balancing our Crown.
We are going to be discussing the TOP 12 Essential Oils that balance the Crown Chakra and helps with our Divine Connection, Selflessness, and Self Knowledge. We will chat about each oil, the benefits, how to use the Oils, and how to purchase quality oil.

Brief Overview of the Crown Charka
The Crown Chakra or Sahasrara in Sanskirt, the main gateway to the Crown Chakra is through the pineal gland, located in the center of your brain. The pineal gland regulates sleep and wake cycles and produces melatonin—the chemical that makes us feel sleepy at night.
This chakra is the center of our higher spiritual self and it connects us to universal consciousness. When we are connected with this energy, we can access states of heightened awareness as well as experience visions that transcend personal preoccupations. Our crown center allows for greater understanding in order to feel unity among all things.
This chakra is beyond the senses. The colors associated with this Chakra are Violet/White and it holds every element.
The mantra for this Chakra is I UNDERSTAND and chanted is OM (AUM).
