Balancing Your Crown Chakra with Essential Oil

Our minds are cluttered at times. Our thoughts are scattered all about. We're being pulled in so many directions every single day some times it's hard to keep all of our obligations straight, so we need Palm Pilots, pocket organizers, and other handy-dandy gadgets and gizmos to keep us up-to-date on what we have to do with our lives. At times, our brains are in overload, while at other times, our brains are being used to their fullest capacity. We live in a society filled with negative images, negative media, negative thoughts, and negative teachings. Our minds fill up with these negative energies and eventually our spirits and bodies follow the mind's lead.

The crown chakra governs knowledge, both intellectual and spiritual, wisdom, and understanding. The color associated with the crown chakra is violet, which is a beautiful color to visualize. The crown chakra governs the brain (the mind) and even the eyes as well. This particular chakra is located at the top of the head.

The blessing in the crown chakra is the combination of knowledge, wisdom, and understanding, especially where one's spiritual growth is concerned. We strive to know who we are in this world. We strive to be wise, so we try to understand all of the knowledge we acquire throughout our lives. The combination is like a trinity of sorts that help us become whole beings. This trinity just like others that we rely on such as body-mind-spirit and ego-subconscious-super conscious all come together to help make us whole.

The crown chakra is where everything we are shines through our actions. The best way to learn is to teach what we know. Teaching and learning helps the crown chakra to maintain its balance. It is through teaching and learning that we cultivate knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. It is through knowledge, wisdom, and understanding we can cultivate balance in the crown.

If you'd like to cleanse and balance your crown chakra, you're more than welcome to try the following aromatherapy visualization.

Visualize your crown chakra as a vibrant violet light-filled circle spinning in a clockwise at the top of your head. It is spinning at a steady pace sparkling like a violet diamond over your entire being. While holding this image in your mind, put a drop of frankincense oil into the palm of your hand. Rub both hands together and hold them about 2-3 inches from your face. While continuing to hold the images above inhale the aroma of the frankincense oil into your whole being.

You should feel blessed that you are now open to spiritual knowledge and intellectual knowledge. Be open to cleansing your mind of negative thoughts. Write some positive affirmations each day for yourself such as "I am light", "All is well", and "All thoughts in my mind are positive at all times." Write them on index cards and take them with you everywhere you go. Say them to yourself several times a day.

A cleansed mind is a healthy mind.
