The crown chakra, also known as Sahasrara, "thousand petals" in Sanskrit, because it resembles a lotus with 1,000 petals, is the seventh chakra located at the crown of your head. The energy of the crown chakra emerges at the top of your head, sitting like a crown and rising upwards. The crown chakra is said to represent the point at which individual awareness meets a higher state of cosmic awareness. This allows you to grow spiritually and connect with the cosmos.

​

When a chakra is underactive, it indicates that it has a blockage or is not releasing energy. An inactive crown chakra can have an impact on your general well-being, making it difficult to let go of worldly desires, which leads to spiritual stagnation. Also, if hyperactive, one feels disconnected from their physical body and earthly issues. And when overburdened with energy, you may have feelings of arrogance or dominance over others.
