			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you feel connected to the universe and the world around you? Do you get guidance from your higher self when you ask?</p>
<p>The crown chakra is your key to the realms beyond the physical universe. When I do <a href="http://www.spiritual-and-alternative-healing.com/theta-healing.html">Theta Healing</a> I take my energy out from my crown chakra and connect with the universal life force. When you’re fully grounded, you should imagine a white light entering your crown charka and running down your body through your root chakra into the center of the earth.</p>

</p>
<p>Your crown chakra is your connection to the universal sources of energy and information. When ideas pop into your head out of no where, chances are they came from your higher self or possibly the collective unconscious. If you’re not receiving much feedback, it’s time to unclog the top chakra. Basically the crown chakra allows you to live harmoniously with the universe.</p>
<h2>Balancing the Crown Chakra</h2>
<p><b>Meditate to get an answer in your life.</b> Your answer may not come the first night. Sit and make sure you’re free from distractions. Pose a question, and wait for something to come to you. You may get an image, words, a thought, or an idea. If it seems like you’re daydreaming, you probably are. Just allow the thoughts to float into your head and witness them one by one.</p>
<p>Try <a href="http://www.spiritual-and-alternative-healing.com/healing-candles.html">healing candles</a> during your meditation.  They&#8217;re infused with <a href="http://www.spiritual-and-alternative-healing.com/reiki-therapy.html">Reiki</a> healing energy to enhance the meditation.</p>

<p><b>Step outside yourself.</b> This is similar to the meditation exercise, but using a slight variation. Pose a question then watch yourself step above your body through your crown chakra. Keep the question in mind, then allow your floating self to answer it spontaneously. </p>
<p><b>Yoga</b></p>

<p>The downward dog helps to balance the energy from the feet to the crown.</p>
<p>Begin by getting on all fours. Make sure your hands are aligned perfectly with your shoulders and keep your fingers stretched.</p>
<p>Breathe in, lift your pelvis, straighten your legs, and keep your head low.</p>
<p><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-1887428109497700";
/* Spiritual Sexpert */
google_ad_slot = "2823210236";

//-->
</script><br />
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script><br />
</p>
<p>Breathe normally while you’re in this posture, but try to maintain your feet flat on the ground.</p>
<p>When you’re ready to release from this position, breath out, then lower yourself back on all fours.</p>
<p><b>Colors, Scents, and Crystals</b></p>
<p>You can use violet, gold or white to represent the crown chakra. I like to imagine white energy when I’m clearing out my crown. Use clear quartz or amethyst when performing crystal healing. Place the stone on the top of your head and allow yourself to absorb the healing energies.</p>
<p>Amethyst is also a great stone for your third eye.</p>
<p><b>Lotus</b></p>
<p>Use natural essential oils whenever you feel you need to balance that chakra. </p>
