Welcome back to part 7 — the final piece — of the Chakra Healing for Pelvic Pain series! If you missed the earlier posts, you can catch up here: Root • Sacral • Solar Plexus • Heart • Throat • Third Eye
We work with the chakras to support pelvic pain on many levels — because your pain is more than just physical.
Today, we’re exploring the Crown Chakra, your center of spiritual connection, consciousness, and higher purpose.
What Is the Crown Chakra?
The Crown Chakra (Sahasrara) sits at the top of your head and represents your connection to something bigger — whether that’s God, Spirit, Source, Universe, your higher self, or simply the feeling of meaning in life.
Your Crown Chakra governs:
Spiritual connection
Purpose & higher guidance
Enlightenment
Trust in life
A sense of “being held”
Higher wisdom
Colour: Violet or white
Element: Pure spirit / cosmic energy / thought
Physical connection: brain, nervous system, head, and overall energetic alignment
I like to think of the Crown Chakra as the “goosebumpy feeling” — that moment of clarity or connection that feels like the universe whispering, “Yes, you’re on the right path.”
Why the Crown Chakra and Pelvic Pain Are Connected
Living with chronic pelvic pain affects every layer of your being — physically, emotionally, mentally, energetically, and spiritually.
When pain becomes a long-term companion, it’s easy to drift into thoughts like:
Why is this happening to me?
What’s the point?
Will I always feel like this?
What am I meant to do with all of this?
So many of us in this community have had these thoughts — you are truly not alone.
When the Crown Chakra is blocked, it can feel like:
Disconnection from yourself or others
Feeling lost or without purpose
Questioning your path
Struggling to trust that healing is possible
Feeling unsupported by life
And when the Crown Chakra feels shut down, it can influence the lower chakras — especially the Third Eye (intuition) and Root (safety). Because when the bigger “Why am I here?” feels shaky, trusting your next step becomes harder.
A phrase that always lands for me when working with the Crown Chakra:
“Life happens for me, not to me.”
Not in a toxic positivity way — but as a gentle reminder that even in the hardest chapters, you are still guided.
When the Crown Chakra is balanced, you may feel:
Connected
Guided
Calm in the unknown
Spiritually anchored
Supported
Open to receiving
Ways to Activate & Balance the Crown Chakra
The Crown Chakra is subtle, soft, spacious — think quiet moments, openness, stillness.
Try these practices:
Meditate on light: Visualize a white or violet light entering through the top of your head.
Use crystals:Clear Quartz (amplification), Amethyst (calming), Fluorite (clarity)
Breathwork: Your breath connects you to something higher
Yoga poses:
Forward folds: Soften your head toward the ground to encourage surrender and inner quiet
Rabbit Pose: Crown to the earth
Cat/Cow: Leading with the crown
Essential oils: Lavender, frankincense, vetiver
These yoga poses are included inside the Crown Chakra Healing for Pelvic Pain class in the Pelvic Health Yoga Membership.

Final Note
I’m not a doctor, and this blog isn’t medical advice. I share from a yogic perspective and my lived experience — as well as what I witness in my students’ healing journeys.
Take what resonates, and leave the rest.
