Every person has seven chakras, of which the seventh chakra is called the crown chakra. The seventh chakra physically affects your skull, cerebral cortex and your skin. It also affects the hormone melatonin, which, among other things, regulates your sleep rhythm. Finally, your seventh chakra influences your experience of spirituality. You can balance your seventh chakra by, for example, meditating or practicing yoga.
Where is your seventh chakra located?
Your seventh chakra is located on top of your head, at the crown of your head. That is why your seventh chakra is also called the crown chakra. It is the highest chakra and provides connection with the universe. This chakra is sometimes also called the crown chakra, because it forms, as it were, the crown of all seven chakras.
How does your seventh chakra influence your body?
Each chakra affects a number of specific body parts. Your seventh chakra influences your skull, cerebral cortex and your skin. If your seventh chakra flows too much or too little, you may notice this, for example, in epilepsy, nervous disorders or insomnia. This does not apply the other way around: if you develop one of these diseases, the cause does not necessarily have to lie with your seventh chakra.
How does your seventh chakra influence your hormonal system?
Each chakra also influences a specific (endocrine) gland that secretes a certain hormone. The gland affected by your seventh chakra is your pineal gland, located at the top of your head. The pineal gland secretes the hormone melatonin. Melatonin plays an important role in your sleep rhythm, but also affects the menstrual cycle in women. In Eastern philosophies, the pineal gland is also seen as the seat of the soul.
How does your seventh chakra influence your emotions?
A properly functioning seventh chakra soothes physical and emotional pain. Your seventh chakra is associated with spirituality. By spirituality we mean that you are aware of what we also call a higher power. For some that is a God, for others it is the feeling that you are guided by something or someone outside yourself. You are then aware that the influence you have on your life has limits. Your seventh chakra can help you find a spiritual context in which you can place your life experiences. It will ultimately help you to be grateful for life as it is. By realizing that your life is the way it is, you will be able to enjoy who you are.
What can you do yourself?
By balancing your seventh chakra you can discover your own spirituality. To further develop your seventh chakra, you can meditate, for example. If you find it difficult to meditate in silence, you can also opt for guided meditations or mindfulness exercises. Another activity that can help you develop your seventh chakra is to practice yoga. The more you can align your consciousness with the truth of a higher power, the more space there will be for you to shine!
