Not being able to accept that there is a Creator of All is a source of blockage to this energy center. Not being able to be aware of all our actions (especially the hurtful ones) and lack of our control over our emotional state impedes the full-functioning of the Crown Chakra. Overly thinking an issue and not allowing what our Heart says is yet one more way to close off the 7th chakra.

Consistent (daily) Mindful Meditation and Spiritual Practices will help foster growth and understanding to the functions of this chakra. Becoming 100% aware of what we are thinking (the silent Thought, the Thought behind the conscious thought) and WHY we are thinking it -- is crucial to allowing the Crown Chakra to do its job.

Trusting in the Universal Process, flowing with Universal Time (Divine Will) and surrendering our own personal will is a crucial aspect to facilitating the harmonizing process.

It is a delicate process in remaining open and mindful while not being barraged by the overly abundant subtle influences in our environment. This is the energy center that transcends human understanding. Only by surrendering all that our brains know --can we open up to Higher Understanding and accept there IS more to Life than what we have learned to accept as truth. Here in the 7th chakra we give up personal truth and come to understand Universal (Impersonal) Truth. However, when we place all of our attention/energies on Spirit we become ungrounded, out of our physical body and cannot deal with everyday issues. We also are not able to participate in Life or partake of the Gifts an earthly life offers.

The sensation of Isolation can take over when self cannot engage in the everyday earthly life and tasks OR when the Self seeks only a relationship with God and separates him/herself from physical reality. Thus, Isolation can be either a 1st or a 7th chakra issue. As with so many other topics...one must delve deep into the matter to understand more fully what chakra the issue is stemming from and then hopefully being able to address it more appropiately (is the chakra affected more emotionally tuned (1-4) or intellectually wired (4-7)...remember chakra 4 is a bridge from the body to the mind).

Stepping into this chakra's energy is Vast, Infinite, Subtle and beyond the scope of just intellectual rationalization. It takes us out of the everyday ordinary and into the Universal Extraordinary! ...we begin to Live from the Unlimited Potential we innately own within each and everyone one of us. Having worked through chakras 1-6...We now know how to live in our body (chakras 1-3) and remain healthy and take care of earthly needs. We listen to where our Heart guides us in order that we may express ourselves honestly and creatively and that we may manifest our Dreams into physical reality. Only the sky is the limit when we have worked through limiting beliefs and corrected the misuses of our energy.

With my feet remaining on the ground of physical reality, AND with A LOT of focus and consistent work...I, too, want to be one of the few who are able to Touch the Stars and Live Life with Wisdom & Universal Understanding!
