This is Segment 7 of a 7-part, yoga-inspired chakra meditation series that integrates essential oils with visualizations, pranayama breathing and hand mudras for deeply grounding, calming and balancing effects. This segment focuses on the Crown chakra – our chakra of pure consciousness and the highest state of spiritual connection – our cord to the divine. Essential oils are optional, but enhance the practice if you have them available. Feel free to practice this meditation without oils, which will still be a deeply grounding experience. If you're using essential oils, here's what I recommend for the Crown chakra: Frankincense, Lavender, Sandalwood, Jasmine, Rose, Spruce, Pink Lotus and/or Buddhawood. You may choose to use one oil for this chakra, or to make a blend – each of these oils blend wonderfully with citrus, such as orange or pink grapefruit.
