The song that resonates best with this chakra for me is: “Dewi Prayer” by Craig Pruess & Ananda https://spotify.link/rzgxLdpmOyb . There is such a serene peace in this song that allows me to feel the closest connection to the devine and feel carried in the cosmic atmosphere. In this I can feel the space and peace. I often listen to this song during shavasana or yin yoga or while showering before bed.
Yoga nidra is also a very good form of meditation to stimulate the crown chakra.
To balance the saharara chakra, various yoga exercises can be done, including asanas (yoga postures), pranayama (gentle breathing exercises), meditation (preferably silence, yoga nidra, looking in/at a candle flame without blinking), meditative activities such as mandalas coloring, vapasana, fasting.
Here are some specific asanas that can be beneficial to the saharara chakra:
– Headstand (Salamba Sirsasana) – This pose is often called the “king of yoga poses” as it involves balancing the entire body on the head. Inverted postures like the headstand can help to increase blood flow to the brain and stimulate the crown chakra.
– Shoulderstance – if it is not in your practice (yet) to do headstand.
– Rabit pose (to massage the crown chakra).
– Lotus Pose (Padmasana) – This pose is often used for meditation and can help to promote spiritual awareness and connection. The lotus pose also helps to open up the hips, which can release any blocked energy in the lower chakras and allow it to flow upwards.
– Corpse Pose (Savasana) – This pose involves lying on the back with the arms and legs relaxed. It is a great way to release tension and promote relaxation, which can help to open up the crown chakra and promote spiritual connection.
– Tree Pose (Vrksasana) – This pose involves balancing on one leg with the other foot resting on the inner thigh of the standing leg. Tree pose can help to promote balance and stability, which are important qualities for spiritual growth. It is the perfect pose to feel the connection with mother earth and the devine universe / father sky 🙂
