Balancing the Crown Chakra at Home with Indian Ragas and Music Therapy

Updated: Mar 12

The Crown Chakra, also known as Sahasrara, is the energy center located at the top of the head responsible for our connection to the divine, spiritual enlightenment and higher consciousness.

When this chakra is balanced, we experience a profound sense of unity, spiritual awakening and transcendence. However, when this chakra is out of balance, we may experience feelings of disconnection, spiritual stagnation or a lack of purpose.

Fortunately, there are holistic techniques, including the use of specific musical notes and Indian ragas, that can help harmonise the crown chakra from the comfort of your own home.


Using Sound Therapy to Balance the Crown Chakra

Sound therapy is a powerful tool for chakra healing, as each chakra is associated with specific musical notes that resonate with its energy.

For the crown chakra, the note B (Indian Classical note: Ni, Western musical note: Ti) is commonly used for balancing and harmonizing its energies.

Humming or chanting this note for a few minutes daily can help activate and balance the chakra. You can also use tuning forks, meditation bowls, or even play the note on instruments like the flute, harmonium or violin on youtube tuned to B.


Indian Ragas for Crown Chakra Healing

Several Indian ragas are cited as particularly effective for balancing the crown chakra due to their vibrational qualities and spiritual resonance.

Among these, Raga Darbari is frequently mentioned in various sources worldwide for their ability to evoke feelings of spiritual elevation, divine connection and cosmic consciousness.


Finding Your Rhythm: A Simple Practice to Balance the Crown Chakra at Home


Create a Sacred Space: Dim the lights, light some candles (violet or white are the crown chakra's colors!) and create an ambiance that feels serene and sacred.


Get Comfortable: Sit or lie down in a comfortable position, with your spine erect but relaxed. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to centre yourself.


Visualise the Flow: As you listen or hum, visualise a brilliant-violet or white light emanating from the top of your head. See it expanding with each breath, connecting you to the infinite wisdom of the universe.


Embrace the Sound: There are many ways to experience Raga Darbari:

    - Play a recording of these ragas through a speaker.

    - If you’re musically inclined, try playing the notes of the ragas on an instrument like a sitar, harmonium, or flute.

    - Simply hum the note B – a simple yet potent practice.


Chant the Seed Mantra: The crown chakra's seed mantra is "OM" or "AUM." While listening to the ragas or humming the note, gently chant this mantra silently or aloud.


Basking in Harmony: Continue for 10-15 minutes, or as long as feels intuitively right. Allow yourself to be enveloped by the sound and the visualization.


However, it's essential to remember that individual experiences and interpretations may vary and what works best for one person may not have the same effect for another.

Ultimately, the choice of raga for crown chakra balancing may depend on personal resonance and experimentation.

Exploring different ragas and observing their effects on your energy and mood can help determine which one works best for you in supporting crown chakra healing and alignment.
