How to Unblock Your Crown Chakra

by Vickie Gould

You can unblock your crown chakra by combining breathwork, 963Hz sound healing, amethyst or selenite crystals, and intentional meditation. These practices reopen your connection to the divine, safely and gently.

Here’s how to know if your crown chakra is blocked:

  • You feel foggy, uninspired, or spiritually “off”
  • You're experiencing sleep issues, headaches, or mood swings
  • You’re overthinking but underfeeling, and unsure how to reconnect
  • You’ve outgrown old belief systems but feel lost without them

At Life Changing Energy, we understand what it’s like to feel disconnected from your purpose and power. That’s why we created accredited courses, energy tools, and real support for people on their healing path, whether you're a curious beginner or a seasoned healer.

Keep reading to learn how to clear your crown chakra without overwhelm, and how to use sound, crystals, and intention to reconnect with your higher self.

Why Your Crown Chakra Might Be Blocked

The crown chakra, known as Sahasrara, sits at the top of your head and represents your connection to the divine, the universe, and your soul's purpose.

It serves as your gateway to spiritual insight, inner peace, and universal wisdom. When this energy center is balanced, life feels aligned. You're calm, clear, and connected to something greater than yourself.

But if you're feeling foggy, spiritually stuck, or like you're going through the motions, your crown chakra might be blocked. 

What Causes a Crown Chakra Blockage?

Blockages usually don't show up overnight. They're often the result of:

  • Burnout from constantly giving to others and never refilling your own cup
  • Grief and loss, which can sever our sense of connection to the divine
  • Religious trauma or shame, especially for those raised in strict spiritual environments
  • Mental overstimulation, which crowds out higher-level thinking and intuition
  • Ego patterns, like over-control or rigid beliefs, that block surrender and flow

Even positive traits like curiosity can turn into spiritual overwhelm if you're consuming too many teachings too fast without grounding.

What Are the Symptoms of a Blocked Crown Chakra?

Blocked crown energy can feel like:

  • Brain fog and forgetfulness
  • Spiritual numbness or "floating"
  • Apathy, lack of joy, or existential confusion
  • Headaches or light sensitivity
  • A persistent feeling of being disconnected from yourself, your purpose, or the universe

What Weakens the Crown Chakra?

The crown chakra is most weakened by a lack of trust in yourself, in the universe, or in your ability to receive divine guidance.

If you were taught to fear your own intuition or that you're "not spiritual enough," those beliefs can close off this energy center.

I've seen many healers hesitate to work on their crown chakra because they're afraid of what they might discover. Or afraid others will think they're "too out there." But disconnection isn't who you are.

It's simply the signal that it's time to come home to your soul.

12 Proven Ways to Unblock Your Crown Chakra

When your crown chakra is blocked, it's not about doing additional work. It's about doing what's aligned.

Below are twelve trusted ways to release that spiritual congestion and reconnect with your higher self.

1. Meditation

Start with simple breathwork or a violet light visualization. Picture a radiant beam of energy pouring into the top of your head, dissolving heaviness.

2. Sound Healing

Try 963Hz tuning forks, crown chakra crystal singing bowls, or sound baths. Sound meditation reduces anxiety and helps you bypass mental chatter to shift into energetic alignment.

Tip: Empaths often struggle with silent meditation. Sound gives your nervous system a safe, vibrational reset.

3. Crystals

Work with selenite (for clarity), amethyst (for intuition), and clear quartz (for amplification). Place them near your pillow, on your crown, or use them in meditation.

Don't forget to cleanse your tools. Residual energy can build up and actually block the healing you're trying to create.

4. Yoga

Postures like Lotus, Hero, Camel, and Savasana open the energy pathways leading to your crown chakra.

How to exercise the crown chakra? Move with intention. Let your breath guide your practice, not force.

5. Nature & Silence

Take a quiet walk in the woods. Sit near water. Let the earth recalibrate your crown.

This is especially potent for creatives and caregivers who are constantly overstimulated or mentally "on."

6. Spiritual Study & Prayer

Read sacred texts or spiritual books. Journal your soul's questions and listen for answers.

What is the secret of the crown chakra? Surrender. Trust. You don't have to figure everything out, only connect to what's already within you.

7. Oils & Incense

Frankincense and sandalwood are crown activators. Use them on your temples, diffuser, or incense burner during practice.

They help your body associate scent with sacred space.

8. Decluttering & Space Clearing

Clutter clogs energy. Clear your home, altar, or digital space and you'll notice your inner world follow.

If your thoughts feel messy, check your environment. It's often a mirror.

9. Guided Visualizations

Use audio journeys that guide you through light imagery, spiritual connection, or sacred sound.

What happens if you open your crown chakra? You may feel a wave of peace, intuitive insight, or even gentle tears as energy clears.

10. Daily Check-Ins

Say affirmations like, "I am open to divine guidance," or "I trust my connection to the universe." Five minutes a day is enough to reconnect and realign.

11. Nutrition & Herbal Support

Eat purple and high-vibration foods: blueberries, purple cabbage, spirulina, aloe vera juice, and ginger.

What organ is the crown chakra connected to? The brain and pineal gland, your gateway to intuition, insight, and universal flow.

12. Mentorship & Energy Readings

Sometimes you can't heal what you can't see. That's where energetic mirrors, coaches, sound healers, or mentors can help.

How do I clear my crown chakra? Get support. Healing doesn't mean doing it all alone. It means choosing alignment over overwhelm. Consider working with chakra tuning forks under guidance.

Why Doing It Alone Doesn't Always Work

You're smart. Intuitive. Capable. But when it comes to deep energetic work, especially with the crown chakra, doing it alone can leave you spinning your wheels (or worse, stuck in a cycle of confusion).

Here's why:

You don't always know what's safe vs. destabilizing. Opening the crown without grounding tools can lead to dissociation, fatigue, or even spiritual panic. You might feel "off" and not even know why.

You might skip foundational steps like grounding. This is especially true for highly spiritual folks who love to hang out in the upper chakras. But without energetic roots, the crown doesn't open fully or safely.

You risk spiritual bypassing. It's tempting to chase "oneness" and downloads while avoiding grief, shame, or past trauma that lives in the body. DIY healing often lacks the structure to support transformation.

Here's the truth: you aren't meant to do this alone. Scientific research on chakras shows these energy centers have real physiological effects. Healing is not about "figuring it out." It's about being witnessed, supported, and guided by those who've walked the path before you.

That's exactly why I created Life Changing Energy. Because spiritual alignment shouldn't feel like guesswork, and you deserve tools that are as sacred as your soul.

Why Life Changing Energy is Different 

There's no shortage of chakra advice online. But the truth? Most of it is vague, overwhelming, or confusing. That's why I created Life Changing Energy to give you practical tools, genuine support, and a clear path forward.

Here's What You Get:

  • Bite-sized, no-fluff courses created by someone who's been there (that's me through illness, burnout, and healing)
  • A loving community that gets your "woo" without judgment because your gifts aren't weird, they're your way through
  • High-vibration tools like PEMF mats, crystal singing bowls, and tuning forks, plus step-by-step guides so you know how to use them without guessing
  • Ongoing support after certification, because the journey doesn't end when your course does. That's where it begins.

Here's What You Avoid:

  • Confusion about what actually works
  • Wasting money on tools you never use
  • Getting stuck in burnout or spiritual isolation

Our courses are accredited, perfect for continuing education, and designed for both beginners and professionals who want tangible results, not spiritual theory.
