3 Ways To Support Your Crown Chakra & Move From "Me" To "We"

As a holistic practitioner, I believe that dis-ease and dysfunction can show up in the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of health. The chakra system is one tool I use to help my clients understand various universal themes that limit well-being.

Each of the seven chakras is the source of a unique wound—but how that wound shows up in health and life varies from person to person. When we are unaware of the wound, we live from the shadow of the associated chakra. But when we become conscious of the wound pattern and take action to heal it, we can access the unique gift of the same chakra.

This wound is not simply about being disconnected from each other—it's about disconnection from the infinite multiverse that each one of us is a part of. Human beings are not separate from nature. We are nature and we're intimately connected to the celestial world. Any astrologer can assure you that change and movement in the cosmos has a direct impact on the human experience.

This understanding is reflected in cultures and traditions all over the world: We see archaeological structures from ancient cultures across the globe that mirror the night sky. In Kundalini yoga, each finger is associated with a celestial body—and because of this, we can control our fate simply by moving the body. Even our language reflects this understanding. Saturday represents Saturn, Sunday, the sun, Monday, the moon, and so on. But this relationship is not limited to culture. It's unquestionably physiological.

The circadian rhythm is one example of how the sun and the moon affect physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral health. And just as the environment and the cosmos affect the human experience, our behavior has an equally important impact on the macrocosm we are a part of. Climate change is a great example, as is our collective response to the current pandemic. The global effort to shelter in place has supported the environment in multiple ways. The crown chakra allows us to understand our impact deeply. So when we are in the wound of the crown, we completely forget our connection to everything and we cannot feel spirit, source, God, or whatever term we resonate with.

The great gift of the crown chakra is unity. It is the experience of moving from me to we. Few people have this experience in their lifetimes, and even fewer have the capacity to sustain it—but all you need is a tiny taste and it will completely transform you.
