The Sahasrara or crown chakra is located at the crown of the head.
When it opens, you are likely to experience an array of physical, emotional, and spiritual changes all at once.
It is also highly likely that you have already opened and balanced your other six chakras before your crown chakra begins to open.
That said, you are likely use to some physical symptoms associated with a chakra opening at this point, but your crown chakra opening has a few symptoms of its own.
What are the symptoms of your crown chakra opening?
Physical symptoms like tingling, headaches, and dizziness are common in the head. This can also lead to mental symptoms like changes in emotions, anxiety, or a change in beliefs. Some have described spiritual symptoms like visions, vivid dreams, quick manifestations, and a direct connection to the divine.
It is common to experience blessings and other benefits when your crown chakra opens, and thus, every time it comes back into balance later on.
There is more information regarding the benefits of opening your crown chakra below.
The Crown Chakra: What Is It and What Does It Mean to Open It?
The crown chakra is an energy center that is sometimes referred to as a beacon of light connecting us with the spiritual side of the universe.
It is the seventh primary chakra in most tantric traditions and is depicted as Adho Mukha Mahapadma, otherwise known as the thousand-petal Lotus.
It is downward-facing with 20 layers of 50 petals each.
In association with the body, the crown chakra opens and regulates the flow of energy through three main areas:
- Cerebral Cortex
- The Pituitary Gland
- The Pineal Gland
That is why any physical symptoms you feel will mostly be located in the head.
What Does It Mean to Open Your Crown Chakra?
The crown chakra opening is represented with the blossoming of the thousand-petal lotus flower.
Just as the flower opens up to express its life, you do as well.
When you open your crown chakra, you feel a tremendous peace and calming feeling rush over your being.
All anger, frustrations, and anxiety fall to the wayside because you cannot help but to live in the here and now.
You start to feel an inner-connection between all beings as well as the beings in the spiritual world.
You understand that there is more at play than the day-to-day of reality, which inevitably brings a strong sensation of contentment to rush over you.
Opening your crown chakra isn’t something that is done overnight, and usually doesn’t happen until you are well into adulthood.
That said, children that grow up in households that are conscious of their chakras and the spiritual nature of the universe are likely to begin developing their crown chakra at an earlier age.
That is just it, though.
Your crown chakra opening happens at a gradual pace.
Seeing, feeling, and working with the spiritual energies of the universe is nearly too much to take in all at once, so most people develop their crown chakra throughout their life.
When your crown chakra begins to develop, you are shown a different side of life; one that is separate from the materialistic world we live in.
As you continue to develop this chakra, you will start to live your life through the lens of a slightly shifted consciousness.
You can’t help but be conscious and aware of the energy constantly flowing through the universe.
Many people have been known to change their belief systems, career paths, and lifestyles after their crown chakra opens because they realize their priorities are shifting.
You will likely feel a great merging with the abundant and infinite cosmic energy all around you.
However, if your crown chakra opens before you have fully developed your other chakras, you will likely have a harder time dealing with the emotional, spiritual, and physical shift.
Your world could actually feel quite chaotic until you further develop the chakra and begin opening your others to balance out your being.
It is a serious thing, opening your crown chakra, but once it happens, you won’t want to go back to your older perspective of the world.
3 Main Crown Chakra Opening Symptoms
In truth, we are all different, and we all experience different things when our chakras open.
In order for you to even feel and recognize symptoms, you have to be at least a little in-tune with your body.
That said, the crown chakra is power and usually doesn’t open by accident.
When people can recognize the symptoms, there are three main categories in which they feel symptoms.
These categories are physical, mental, and spiritual.
Below is a more detailed description of each.
Here are some of the main symptoms associated with your crown chakra opening:
