Today marks my fourth and final visit to the Crown Chakra, closing out an incredible four-week chakra balancing challenge. It feels like finishing a great book. There’s pride in completing the journey. Yet, there’s a reluctance to let go of something so meaningful.
The Crown Chakra radiates with violet energy and serves as the gateway to universal wisdom and divine connection. It’s all about releasing control and trusting that guidance and support are always present. To honor this energy, I paused in the quiet and sat with the mantra, “I follow divine guidance.” As I whispered those words into the stillness, I felt grounded and expansive, like sunlight pouring into a room I hadn’t realized was so dark.
Crown Chakra Completion and Rising Higher
The cards today captured the essence of the Crown Chakra perfectly. The first was Completion from the Chakra Wisdom Oracle. It reminded me that endings aren’t just about closing doors. They’re also about celebrating the journey and trusting the beginning that waits on the other side. It was a powerful prompt to look back at everything I’ve learned during this challenge and see how far I’ve come.
The second card, A Firebird Is Called to Soar from the Dream Weaver’s Oracle deck, was inspiring in its message. It reminded me to rise, trust my wings, and embrace the freedom that comes with letting go. It gave me permission to surrender. Not as an act of defeat but as a choice to trust the path ahead, even if I can’t see every twist and turn.
Surrendering to Connection
Rachel’s guide today invited me to explore the Crown Chakra’s energy by simply surrendering. She asked me to pause and sit with the intention, “I am connected. I am guided.” So, I did just that. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and let those words settle into the quiet. At first, my mind wandered, because, well, it always does, but gradually, a soft reassurance surfaced. It reminded me that even when the road ahead feels blurry, I’m never truly walking it alone.
As the day unfolded, little signs of connection began to show themselves. The cards I pulled offered guidance that felt too perfect to dismiss. A kind chat with a colleague reminded me of the importance of warmth and understanding, even in small moments. Later, a familiar song brought my beautiful daughter to mind, filling me with love and longing. Grief gently joined me, as it does from time to time, and sat beside me for a while. But then, as if on cue, the number 11:11 kept flashing in front of me. It felt like the universe leaning in to whisper, “Let go. You’re on the right path.”
The Crown Chakra has a way of wrapping these moments together, weaving the threads of life into a gentle reminder:
Connection is always there, even when it feels faint. And surrender doesn’t mean giving up. It means trusting what’s already holding you.
Essentials Oils and Everyday Rituals
As I worked through today’s challenge, something unexpected bubbled up, the urge to share my love for essential oils. These products have been a quiet, comforting part of my life for years now, but I’m not sure why today feels like the right time to talk about them. Maybe it’s the Crown Chakra asking me to honor the simple ways I connect to myself.
Here’s a peek into my favorites in Support of Our Crown Chakra
My lavender salt scrub is a shower staple, scrubbing away the stress and leaving behind a calming scent that feels like an exhale. My peppermint-infused body wash is the perfect morning pick-me-up, waking me up faster than coffee. Peppermint also sneaks into the kitchen with a homemade bug spray that’s both practical and oddly satisfying.
Then there’s lavender and peppermint lotion, which feels like a tiny act of self-care during a long day at the computer. And my facial mist, a refreshing blend of aloe, chamomile, and lavender, is like a pocket-sized spa moment whenever I need it. These rituals don’t just soothe me; they anchor me, creating moments of connection in a busy life.
Why share them now? Who knows. Maybe it’s the Crown Chakra pushing me to share the little things that may help others. Or maybe it’s just a random spark of gratitude for how something simple can become something profound.
Carrying the Lessons Forward
This month has been nothing short of transformative. The Crown Chakra has shown me that surrendering isn’t about giving up. It’s about trusting that I am always supported and guided, even when I don’t see the full picture. It’s about letting go of the need to control everything and embracing the flow of life instead.
The lessons from all seven chakras have been powerful. From rooting deeply in the earth to rising like the Firebird, each step has added richness to my journey. And while this challenge may be ending, the wisdom I’ve gained isn’t going anywhere.
