Crown Chakra

Your crown is the seat of enlightenment, your connection to Source/GOD/Allah/The Creator etc. How open minded are you? How willing are you to challenge your own beliefs and learnt behaviours?

• Reading—Try to read something different to what you usually would. It could be a different genre, something controversial, or even a book that teaches you about a way of life that is different to yours. For example, if you’re Christian, try reading the Quran or if you’re Muslim, try reading the Bible. If your Buddhist learn about Rastafari or if you’re Rasta study the Jehovah’s Witness. Challenge yourself to gain perspective and understanding beyond what you have been taught to accept—We all believe in one GOD right(?), so why not try to understand another perspective of life, GOD and the infinite expansion that is The Universe? 

• Prayer—Prayer is you communicating with The Most High, try starting and ending each day with a prayer. 

• Hair care/maintenance—Your hair is your crown, and its important that we nurture it. In a world where Afro hair has been rejected and we have been taught to hate the natural state of our hair, taking care of your crown and showing it some love goes a long way: 

-Be conscious of the ingredients in your haircare products. Much of what is created for Afro hair has been poisoned. Read the ingredients at the back and don’t just make a choice solely based on the attractiveness of the packaging, product popularity and habit/familiarity.

-Take out those braids that have been in since last Christmas and let your scalp breath. Your crown is more than just a statement of beauty and regality, its also a gateway of information and higher frequencies. Ensuring your hair and scalp are clean are also ways in which you keep your energy clean and your thoughts clear.
