How to Connect with your Inner Guidance (Crown Chakra)

Connecting to our inner guidance is a powerful journey and takes a lot of courage and introspection to be able to build this connection. Technically, it never left but a lot of us live in our mind and have lost this inner guidance, which has also been called our "Higher Self". Our "Higher Self" is the wisdom within us that points us in the right direction and has our full support. Unfortunately, we normally listen to our mind, which is trying to keep you safe. It is living from a place of fear. Your Higher Self lives in a place of love, which gives it deep wisdom that can become available to you with practice and being open-minded. One of the best ways to tap into your Higher Self is by opening the crown chakra. You maybe wondering, what is a chakra?

The chakras were first discovered in India thousands of years ago. The word chakra in Sanskrit essentially means “spinning disc”. Chakras are energy wheels within your body. There are seven main chakras: root chakra, sacral chakra, solar plexus charka, heart chakra, throat chakra, third eye chakra, and the crown chakra. They are separate yet connected to the physical and energetic body. These spinning discs support and process energy that flow through you.

Each chakra is associated with different aspects of your life and self, they keep us in balance and aligned. When a chakra is blocked and there are many reasons why a chakra can be blocked, these discs are no long spinning at a healthy capacity.
