The crown chakra, or Sahasrara, is the gateway to higher consciousness, spiritual wisdom, and universal connection. Located at the top of the head, this energy center governs our sense of purpose, enlightenment, and unity with all that is. When balanced, it brings clarity, serenity, and a profound sense of peace. When blocked, we may feel disconnected, cynical, or spiritually adrift.
