Hi, and welcome to today's episode of the Art of Life podcast.
Speaker:I am Kanika and I am so excited to talk to you about the crown chakra.
Speaker:This is the seventh major energy center of our bodies, but there's not as much that
Speaker:is shared about it, at least so widely.
Speaker:So I wanted to give you some perspectives on how to think about the crown chakra.
Speaker:This is known for spiritual awareness.
Speaker:for knowingness, for just those intuitive hits that people get or some specific
Speaker:people seem to get all the time.
Speaker:Now, before I start talking about this chakra, let's sort of
Speaker:just think about its placement.
Speaker:This is the seventh chakra, right?
Speaker:It is at the outer periphery of our major body chakras.
Speaker:The 7th chakra is very much a spiritual chakra.
Speaker:The changes.
Speaker:you would feel from that is very much at a spiritual level, To be able to
Speaker:really understand what the spiritual shift is about, consider the first body
Speaker:chakra and that is your root chakra.
Speaker:This is where you are born, like physically if you do not have a caesarean
Speaker:birth, you come out of the root chakra.
Speaker:So that's your foundation.
Speaker:That's coming into earth, having a body.
Speaker:So It's very much your identification as a human being.
Speaker:That's the first chakra.
Speaker:At the outermost level, the seventh chakra is pretty much
Speaker:that but at a spiritual level.
Speaker:It's very much knowing what is happening in the vast universe
Speaker:around you, finding safety there.
Speaker:And feeling okay with that.
Speaker:If you are really looking for a balanced 7th chakra, the 7th chakra is balanced or
Speaker:active for someone who's able to tap into their guidance and get that information.
Speaker:Now these days, the whole information layer around us is getting pretty crowded.
Speaker:There are lots of channels.
Speaker:And when I say channels, I definitely mean a lot of beings.
Speaker:I mean a lot of energy streams, a lot of information streams that
Speaker:are flowing to each one of us.
Speaker:Like consider, for example, the amount of thoughts you would have in a day.
Speaker:, You are getting a whole lot of information.
Speaker:A balanced crown Chakra is very much around being able to channel into the
Speaker:right information that you want to.
Speaker:There is a lot of information.
Speaker:All of us are actually getting a lot more overloaded.
Speaker:Crown chakra is really being able to get that guidance.
Speaker:Some people will get it, let's say when they're writing or when they're quiet,
Speaker:maybe when they're washing dishes, when you're having a shower, et cetera.
Speaker:Those are the times when.
Speaker:If something hits you and you know that it's a guidance, that
Speaker:is your crown chakra guidance.
Speaker:If you're able to follow that, if you're able to really do it, you are helping
Speaker:your crown chakra understand that this is the information you really want
Speaker:to have because you are acting on it
Speaker:But often a lot of times in today's world, what we are doing is we tend to just take
Speaker:a lot of information that's coming to us.
Speaker:Either there's just so much information that it sort of becomes easier to
Speaker:just consume that information, step down and just go like, okay, I'm
Speaker:so tired at the end of my work.
Speaker:And so whatever TV showing me right now, whatever feeds my phone is showing right
Speaker:now, I just sit back and consume that.
Speaker:Now, sometimes that is channeled guidance, but if you're not active
Speaker:in it, if you're just sitting there, if you're just consuming then that is
Speaker:an underactive crown chakra because just a lot of information is coming.
Speaker:Some people will channel some beings, especially mediums and
Speaker:so on, and they're very good at bringing that information out.
Speaker:Now whether that is underactive because you're not listening and doing something,
Speaker:there are other people who are really listening or there are people who
Speaker:will say oh I had an awakening and now I'm getting a lot of messages.
Speaker:But when you cannot stop it, that is an overactive crown chakra.
Speaker:Now the trick to that is remembering that yes, this is very much a spiritual
Speaker:chakra, this is very much where you are connecting with the outer world but
Speaker:it's maintaining your place on earth, it's maintaining your space on earth.
Speaker:You are very much having a physical experience still.
Speaker:Even for the mediums out there, or especially for the new ones
Speaker:who are just trying this whole channeling experience, doing that,
Speaker:but doing that in a safe manner.
Speaker:You do it, but you also ground, you also really connect with
Speaker:the earth and hold your space.
Speaker:You don't want to be hijacked by just a lot of information coming through.
Speaker:You want to be in control for what's coming through to you and
Speaker:you want to see it, analyze it before it comes to your space.
Speaker:You know, there are people who just channel beings and they go like, Oh,
Speaker:this being just takes over my body and then I don't know what I'm doing.
Speaker:Um, That could be okay, but that could also not be okay.
Speaker:It's sort of like letting someone drive your car and then they could do anything.
Speaker:They don't get the punishments for it if they knock your car or if
Speaker:they have some accident or anything.
Speaker:This is your body.
Speaker:You need to be in control of that.
Speaker:And so you're owning your space and connecting with the earth
Speaker:specially, being really grounded while all of this information is
Speaker:coming, being really targeted in receiving that guidance is paramount
Speaker:to having a balanced crown chakra.
Speaker:In my Moon Meditation Circle, I definitely teach these techniques and
Speaker:how you can have this experience, how you can tap into your guidance without
Speaker:having to give over your seniority.
Speaker:Just check it out at ArtofLifeCenter.

Speaker:What does a crown chakra or a healthy crown chakra really bring for you?
Speaker:The change that you would experience with a healthy crown chakra is
Speaker:that you are getting guidance.
Speaker:You are able to tap into your guidance.
Speaker:And the shift here would be from consuming to creating.
Speaker:Now consuming is a very passive activity where someone's sharing information via
Speaker:whatever medium and you're taking it, and that could be media, that could be
Speaker:just your friends sharing something, , and you're sort of in the passive
Speaker:stage and you're just taking that.
Speaker:Consuming also is when you are just living your cycle, your life, on an automatic.
Speaker:cycle.
Speaker:You get up, you go to work, you come back, then you have your
Speaker:dinner, you go to sleep or chat with your friends, go to sleep, so on.
Speaker:But if you're just doing that automatic cycle in and out, which most of us
Speaker:would, but if nothing is there where you are creating, where you are using
Speaker:the guidance that is coming to you and really doing something with it,
Speaker:then you are not letting your crown chakra give you the guidance as
Speaker:well because you're not, validating whatever it's bringing in, right?
Speaker:For the universe to send you information, for the universe to send you guidance,
Speaker:the universe also wants you to act on it.
Speaker:And steps of creativity could very well be within your work.
Speaker:If you really enjoy your work, you are a florist and you enjoy decorating
Speaker:your bouquets in a certain fashion and you're doing that, then that's awesome.
Speaker:If there is a job or work that you're doing where you really enjoy doing
Speaker:it, where it is a process or a journey of flow rather than a journey of
Speaker:deadlines, definitely that is creative.
Speaker:For some people that could be in a garden, a lot of people
Speaker:that could be in the kitchen.
Speaker:There are people where this could just be when they're automatic writing,
Speaker:whatever that space is, maybe your job does not have a lot of space, room for
Speaker:creativity, but whatever little bits you can do, that would be a good way to start
Speaker:activating your crown chakra, that is a good way to start having the guidance.
Speaker:Especially if there are questions that you have one of the things
Speaker:that you can do is sit down and start doing automatic writing.
Speaker:Just share your intention with the cosmic world and say this is what you want to
Speaker:write about and then just start writing.
Speaker:Instead of deadline in terms of getting your guidance, a
Speaker:process works a lot better.
Speaker:In that sense, trying to create a rhythm.
Speaker:Maybe your whole day is very busy, but what you could do is, Hey, during
Speaker:the morning from five to six o'clock, I am going to sit down and write.
Speaker:And this is where I want all the answers to come in, but just
Speaker:get up every day and do that.
Speaker:And maybe the first few times it's going to be very clunky.
Speaker:Maybe things don't come in, but then automatically things will start coming in.
Speaker:Maybe your intention could be just before going to bed and you could say, okay,
Speaker:I'm just going to doze off for the night.
Speaker:But this is what I want to channel.
Speaker:This is what I want to learn about.
Speaker:This is what I want to explore and just give that space, make that space
Speaker:for all of that guidance to come in.
Speaker:Sometimes if you have not really used your crown chakra or if other
Speaker:chakras are not balanced, this whole communication can be very noisy.
Speaker:It might need clearing.
Speaker:But the more and more, at least you start using the channels, the more and more
Speaker:you start asking for that guidance and being really specific, the more at least
Speaker:you allow that communication to happen.
Speaker:And by that virtue itself, it will start cleaning up a lot of the gunk in
Speaker:between and with passage of time, you'll start getting a lot clearer as well.
Speaker:This advice also applies to, let's say, the people you've lost.
Speaker:And so one of the things that you can do to connect with them is without
Speaker:being emotional, but you can just have an intent, sit down, meditate,
Speaker:clear your space, get really neutral, and then tell them, Hey, you know,
Speaker:I want to communicate with you.
Speaker:And either that could be a very blanket thing, like I want to communicate
Speaker:with you, or it could be I want to communicate with you about something.
Speaker:And then again, doing the same thing, setting up a rhythm.
Speaker:Do a rhythm that will really function, settle into your daily life as best
Speaker:as possible, places where you're sitting down and where you have that
Speaker:space, where you are just by yourself.
Speaker:Whether it is going for walks, whether it is the time when you are in water,
Speaker:when you're going for swimming.
Speaker:But you can definitely have that intention that this is the time that
Speaker:I want those thoughts to come in.
Speaker:Have rhythms there, have steps during your day where you just do a little check in.
Speaker:Um, and a quick five minutes or 10 minutes of this exercise won't work.
Speaker:Let's say if you go like, Hey, five minutes, I've got
Speaker:five minutes on universe.
Speaker:Now whatever you want to tell me about subject A, come and do that.
Speaker:It won't really work that way.
Speaker:The reason that wouldn't work is because you just have a lot of energy in your
Speaker:space that you first need to clear.
Speaker:Typically what's happening when you are channeling, when you're
Speaker:getting some guidance is the guidance has to match your frequency.
Speaker:If you're wanting awareness, if you're wanting to connect with
Speaker:someone who's passed away, they are at a very high frequency.
Speaker:Chances are that if you just sit down and if you go like, Oh, I want this
Speaker:information now and I want to connect with you now, it doesn't happen because
Speaker:you are not at that place yourself.
Speaker:That's why sit down, meditate, like go into that high vibration state,
Speaker:whatever does that for you, whether that is dancing, whether that is.
Speaker:swimming, but get into a high vibration state because if you are channeling
Speaker:into something that's really high vibration, you need to be a match.
Speaker:And then that's where things start coming in.
Speaker:Now, if that happens for you in five minutes, that is awesome.
Speaker:But for a lot of people, it just takes a little bit of clearing to get there.
Speaker:Meditate, clear your head.
Speaker:Get in a space where you can invite that guidance to come in, and then
Speaker:when that comes in, then you can just have that rhythm there to
Speaker:help you capture those thoughts and store that information for yourself.
Speaker:But the more you act on it, then you activate that channel where
Speaker:that guidance is coming through.
Speaker:If you think about it, the first chakra, and again that complementary
Speaker:chakra, The first chakra is very much around feeling okay in the body.
Speaker:Feeling okay that you have a physical experience, that you will be fine,
Speaker:that you are safe as you are, that you are okay as you are, you know,
Speaker:with your body shape, with whatever money you have and so on, but at
Speaker:least just feeling that you're okay.
Speaker:Just telling yourself that I am okay as I am.
Speaker:Crown Chakra is pretty much taking that spiritual guidance
Speaker:and then going, Oh, this is okay.
Speaker:This is okay as it is.
Speaker:Really believing in that because a lot of times the guidance might
Speaker:just sound very simple or guidance might also sound something, you know.
Speaker:which is very contradictory to the conditioning or the
Speaker:society pattern, right?
Speaker:For example, if somebody is really stuck in a marriage, in the heart of hearts
Speaker:or in their guidance, they really know that this is not working for them.
Speaker:Is their crown chakra then healthy?
Speaker:Well, probably not, but there's also a whole lot more of disbalance in their
Speaker:space because what they really need to do is not be in that unhealthy relationship.
Speaker:But they just feel stuck.
Speaker:They can't do anything.
Speaker:The idea is that you move your life to steps of alignment.
Speaker:Maybe take baby steps if you have to.
Speaker:The more you tune in, especially to your spiritual guidance, you'll realize that
Speaker:sometimes things become a lot clearer, you hear them a lot, but because you
Speaker:can't act on them, there is an unconscious and a conscious blocking that you do
Speaker:yourself to not tap into that, because it can then become too painful to know,
Speaker:oh, I'm supposed to step out of this, but I can't step out of this relationship.
Speaker:Crown chakra is at the top, but there are six other body chakras
Speaker:below it and they need to function.
Speaker:They need to be at least in some level of alignment, some level
Speaker:of healthy functioning state so that then you can really have a
Speaker:very active crown chakra as well.
Speaker:That's why just acting on the small things, taking the small steps that you
Speaker:can, finding that courage, let's say if you have to really come out and break
Speaker:some patterns because crown chakra is really going to be a lot around, shifting
Speaker:the patterns around you, really changing things, how you're doing fundamentally,
Speaker:because instead of taking information from the world, taking information
Speaker:from around you of how things are to be done with the crown chakra, you're
Speaker:really going to a place of, Oh, this is what I think this is what I have to do.
Speaker:And guess what?
Speaker:Is everybody around you going to like it?
Speaker:No, probably not.
Speaker:Not lots of times.
Speaker:And what you can do here is, while you're having that guidance, while
Speaker:you have all of that fear, is you can ground your fear in a meditation state.
Speaker:You can also ask for guidance around those fears.
Speaker:Hey, I have this fear.
Speaker:What do I do?
Speaker:You could instead have more of a conversation and go like, Hey,
Speaker:I don't know how to break this relationship because if I break the
Speaker:relationship, this is going to happen.
Speaker:This is what this person is going to say.
Speaker:I'm not yet ready for it.
Speaker:And so but it can definitely.
Speaker:work with receiving the guidance.
Speaker:You can ask much deeper questions.
Speaker:Let's say if you really want to make a shift and you want to have a spiritual
Speaker:teacher who's going to guide you, you can also ask, Hey, I want someone
Speaker:to help guide me on this journey.
Speaker:This seems a lot harder for me.
Speaker:And then your guidance can come in for that as well.
Speaker:You can just let your guidance come in and treat that as a friend.
Speaker:And take that little bite, be very honest, go like, hey, this
Speaker:is all I can do at the minute.
Speaker:Uh, I know you're telling me all of these 10 steps, but I'm not brave
Speaker:enough to do all the 10 steps.
Speaker:I'm just brave enough to do the first half and you can just do that, you
Speaker:know, but just keep doing that so that the guidance can come in more and more
Speaker:and get into a place of stillness where you can still the other thoughts and
Speaker:you can just get into that guidance.
Speaker:We have a belief, that guidance is only available to specific people or people
Speaker:who found their spirit guides, etc.
Speaker:But nothing is further from the truth.
Speaker:I was very much like a template person for a really long time in my life.
Speaker:And if I could get the training and if I could really start tapping
Speaker:into my guidance, so can you, there's nothing as I would love
Speaker:to say, oh, hey, I'm very special.
Speaker:I am just the way you are really special in your life.
Speaker:But because I can do it, you can do it as well.
Speaker:It's really simple.
Speaker:Don't let anyone tell you that your guidance is foreign, that your guidance
Speaker:does not belong to you, that your guidance is governed by a priest, that your
Speaker:guidance is governed by something else.
Speaker:They might be a lot more practiced at it, but there's nothing that stops
Speaker:you from channeling that guidance and getting your own answers.
Speaker:You, by very virtue of you listening to this podcast, you, by just the virtue
Speaker:of wanting to do that, wanting to tap into your guidance, you have as much
Speaker:right as anyone else on earth to be the creator of your life, to be the person
Speaker:who can tune in to their guidance.
Speaker:Have fun, keep enjoying, keep acting on your guidance and have fun with it.
