In the intricate tapestry of human energy, the Crown Chakra stands as the pinnacle, the portal to higher consciousness, and spiritual enlightenment. Situated at the top of the head, it is the seventh primary energy center in the body according to ancient Indian spiritual traditions, known as Sahasrara in Sanskrit. The Crown Chakra is associated with the color violet or white, symbolizing purity and transcendence.
