Stocksy
And while we’re on the topic…what even is a crown chakra?
Read on and be enlightened.
Meet the Experts
What are Chakras?
What Is the Crown Chakra?
Dr. Trattner points out that the crown chakra is the highest chakra.
In Sanskrit this is called Sahasrara."
When there is a blockage or interference here, one might feel confused, isolated or disconnected.
Often our hairdressers become our closest confidantes.
In this space, issues frequently come up.
Its one of the only small semi-mandatory self-care experiences in which most of us indulge.
Why Is Hair Important to your Crown Chakra?
Hair issomuch more than just protein and melanin.
Culturally, hair is significant too.
Hair is ceremoniously cut in various rituals from birth to death in many cultures, Scarborough adds.
And Neri explains, “Hair is a part of our identity.
We as humans are constantly evolving and shedding old identities so that step into the new.
How Do Haircuts Factor In?
I realized a haircut was not at all dissimilar from a shamanic cutting-of-cords ceremony.
We dont need to wait for a special moment to turn our attention to our crown chakra.
The truth isanymoment we are breathing can be an opportunity to seep in intention, Scarborough says.
The only cure for the mundane is to celebrate it.
And Neri adds, “Your hair is an extension of your crown chakra.
Yogis use this practice to reach higher states of consciousness and have a specific practice around it.
However, cutting your hair also keeps this energy center open and receptive to picking upother energies.
How Does Crown Chakra Healing Work?
Sometimes we work with sound healing instruments like singing bowls or tuning forks.”
People come to hairdressers to feel better,” says Scarbrough.
Quartz, specifically clear quartz is associated with the crown chakra.
I use a natural pointed crystal to direct the crown chakra energy.
Both Dr. Trattner and Scarbrough like to use a pendulum as well.
Scarsbrough explains, “I also use a pendulum to assist with opening the crown chakra.
It is important o test to see if it is open first by asking the pendulum yes/no questions.
You will get either a circle or back and forth.
Start by asking the pendulum yes/no questions such as “My name is …?”
To see what is your yes and no.
This can be done effectively with a clear quartz point or a pendulum.”
You will have to dedicate about 10 to 20 minutes to the task, says Scarbrough.
The crown is where we receive intuitive guidance and connection to our higher self or power.
Scarborough recommends adding a drop or two of essential oil to your chosen hair mask.
Her go-to is and she adds it to her regular hair conditioner, too.
“Water has always been renowned as a highly effective spiritual conduit,” she explains.
Sound is really helpful for me, personally, in quieting my mind.
Neri’s method also involves the power of meditation.
“you’re free to actually check your chakras through meditation.
Is this indicating an imbalance or balanced state?
However, if you havent established a meditation practice yet, this practice may seem difficult.
It is easiest to do this with a friend.Have the friend lie down belly up on the floor.
Hold the pendulum or mala beads firmly in your hand and hover them over your crown chakra.
If the beads or pendulum swings side to side, it is out of balance.
If it stops, there is a block.
If it is swinging in a circle, it is balanced.
it’s possible for you to also use this practice for any chakra,” she says.
