Kundalini Yoga for the Crown Chakra: Unblocking, Balancing, and Strengthening

Kundalini Yoga for the crown chakra—this is about unblocking, balancing, and strengthening the highest energy center of your being.

Today I will teach you how to unblock your crown chakra, no matter the reason you may be facing blockages in this area during your Kundalini awakening journey and during your spiritual awakening journey. If you are a student of the Projects, already working with me, then practice the techniques that I will teach you here. These techniques will help you a lot.

If you are nearing your enlightened state—if you are close to that enlightened state and you are going to be free very soon—then I strongly suggest you do these techniques only in my guidance. Do not try to do them alone. Why? Because when you are with me, my power transmission will also impact you greatly as you apply the techniques I am teaching here. The state of energy that I transmit makes all the difference. The same step, when done without me, may only feel like a yoga posture. But when you are doing it with me, under my transmission, your posture becomes activated, your Kundalini energy pierces through the crown chakra, and there is a very high possibility that you will be free.

So, this is my disclaimer right at the beginning: if you are not my student, then my advice is do not follow this technique. This method is exclusively for my students. If you are not in the Projects with me, please do not attempt it.

At the same time, if you are a student who is already in the Projects and you want to learn yoga—whether as a woman in yoga or a man in yoga—and you are interested in learning more, then what I am sharing here will give you inspiration. It will inspire you to stay with me, to go deeper with me, and to know the subtle energies, the deep levels of consciousness that are activated through these yogic techniques.

When you work with me, something that looks like an ordinary yoga pose to the outer eye becomes something completely different. With me, the posture is not just physical. It becomes a portal. Without me, it may look like just a physical posture. With me, the same step gets activated, your Kundalini pierces through the crown chakra, and the energy rises into its highest center.

This is why I repeat: if you are not anywhere near the crown chakra, if you do not even know what the crown chakra is, or if you are not working with me in the Projects, then do not apply this. This is not for random trial.

Why the Crown Chakra Gets Blocked

Let us move forward and understand: why does the crown chakra get blocked? What are the physical and energetic reasons for it? And what are the symptoms you will face when your crown chakra is blocked?

The crown chakra gets blocked primarily due to identification with the ego. What does that mean? Ego here does not only mean arrogance. Ego means the identification with personality, with image, with the conscious image of yourself, with the personality-consciousness you are carrying.

You are identified with the role you play. If you are a male person, you are identified as a father, as a son, as a brother, as a husband. You are identified with your place in the matrix of the society and the world. If you are a female, you are identified with being a mother, a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother-in-law, a daughter-in-law. You are identified with so many relationships, so many roles in the matrix, and these roles begin to define you.

And what happens when these roles define you? You begin to live through them. They are not only part of your function in the society—they become your entire identity. You become the father, you become the mother, you become the son, you become the daughter. You forget that beyond all of this, you are consciousness.

Now, if you are in your spiritual journey, if you are already nearing the crown chakra, then this identification shows up in a different form. At the end of your journey, when you are reaching the crown chakra, you still remain too much identified with the human aspect of your being. You begin to feel superior as a human being. And that superiority—that sense of “I am a human being, and therefore I am special”—that becomes the hurdle. That becomes the problem.

Remember: you are energy. You are pure consciousness. But you remain localized as the person who does not want to leave this image of being human. And when you cling to this image, your crown chakra gets blocked.

So, the crown chakra can be blocked in someone who is not yet enlightened, because they are too identified with their social image, their family roles, their worldly personality. At the same time, the crown chakra can also be blocked in someone who is already enlightened.

How is that possible? This is very technical, very deep, but let me explain. A person may have become enlightened a few years ago. But then they identify with that enlightened-being state. Again, there is identification. Again, there is ego. But now it is spiritual ego. They are identified with being the enlightened one, with being the spiritual person.

They are not fully dissolved into consciousness yet. They are still holding onto the image of “I am the enlightened one.” This identification with the enlightened state becomes another hurdle to the flow of energy. That blocks the crown chakra once again.

Sometimes people reach such states not naturally but through the use of psychedelics, drugs, or some external event that pushed them into an altered state. In such cases, the ego comes back and takes over. The identification continues. So you need to know: if you are identified with being spiritual, if you are identified with being enlightened, if you are identified with being “the awakened one,” then this itself can be a hurdle. This itself can block the crown chakra.

This is why diagnosis is so important. More about your own identification—whether it is worldly identification or spiritual identification—you can discover with me. Contact me. Get yourself diagnosed. And then I will help you come out of this limitation. I will help you free yourself from these blockages.

Symptoms of a Blocked Crown Chakra

Now I will explain to you what are the symptoms that you may experience when your crown chakra is blocked. First, know its location. The crown chakra is located right at the top of your head. It is the highest energy center in the body. When it is blocked, you begin to face many difficulties.

To speak directly and without hiding anything: when your crown chakra is blocked, your brain does not work. Your brain does not function properly. Your memory is gone. Your cognitive function is gone. Your ability to live and function well in the world is diminished.

All brain-associated problems—all the diseases related to the brain—are connected to crown chakra blockages. If you are facing difficulty with your attention, if you are unable to concentrate, if you find it hard to listen to people, if you cannot interact with people or be present in the world, if you are suffering from memory loss—then these are all signs of crown chakra blockages.

Sometimes you may notice yourself functioning like different personalities. You have split personality. You have multiple personalities. At one moment you act as one person, and at another moment you act as someone else. This is also the result of crown chakra blockages.

Why split personality? Why multiple personality disorder? It is because the energy at the crown is not flowing properly. This even extends into more severe conditions. Sometimes it goes into the category of schizophrenia, of lunacy, of mental retardation.

If you are not diagnosed by me, if you are not seen by me, then the world has already declared you mad. Do not be afraid of this word. If your brain is not functioning, if your mind is not working, if you are behaving like a lunatic person, like an insane person, then know this: it is not your fault. It is a result of crown chakra blockages.

This is why you should come to me. Get yourself diagnosed by me. Get yourself treated through me. I am not here to treat in the way of a doctor, but I am here to see you with compassion, to understand your state. And once you understand your own state and I show you the reality of it, then you will begin to take action. You will take my healing, my consulting, my guidance. You will take the step-by-step guidance through the Projects. And this will gradually free you from the state you are stuck in.

Once again, let me repeat with warning and compassion: this teaching is for my students who are already in the Projects. If you are already a student, you can practice this technique and then report to me. If you are not my student, then please, please do not attempt it. It may be harmful for you. You may not have the energetic support that is required.

Yes, you can watch or read about it. You can learn about it intellectually. But do not try to practice it on your own, because it is full of technicalities, and without guidance, you will not be able to do it safely.

And let me add: I am not giving you too many techniques here. Only one. Why? Because I fear that if I give you many, you may do them incorrectly, and then you will suffer the repercussions. I can do them because I have mastered them myself, step by step. But for you, one technique is enough.

Now, let us move to the technique.

Technique 1: Crown-Unblocking Inversion

This technique is sometimes known by the name Sarvangasana by those who are familiar with yoga. It is for unblocking, balancing, and strengthening the crown chakra.

Preparation

First, sit comfortably. Then lie down. Place your head on the floor. Adjust it carefully so it rests well. Be comfortable. Do not rush. Prepare your body for this. Do not do it in haste or in a hurry. Move slowly, because your brain needs to know that your body is changing position.

Step One: First Lift

Slowly, very slowly, lift your legs into the air. Slowly, slowly, slowly raise them as much as you can. Come up toward ninety degrees. Stay there for a moment. Then gently come back down. This is the first step.

Step Two: Supported Lift

Now place your hands below your buttocks. This will give you support. Again lift your legs, coming toward ninety degrees. Remember: you are warming up your body. You cannot reach the final position in just one step. That is why you are doing this in two or three steps.

Step Three: Vertical Alignment

With your hands still under your buttocks, slowly lift your legs even higher. Bring them toward a straight position. Try to make them as straight as you can—aiming for ninety degrees to the floor. Do not force it. Bring them up as much as your body allows, but try to align them fully.

Holding the Pose

Now stay in this position. Stay here for about two minutes. Balance yourself. Enjoy this state.

Here, in this state, blood circulation from your entire body moves toward the crown chakra. All your organs are nourished. Your brain receives more blood flow. The flow of prana increases. You enjoy the state of energy entering your crown chakra.

Coming Down

After about two minutes, slowly reverse the process. Do not drop suddenly. Control your descent. First bring your legs back toward ninety degrees, then slowly lower them down, step by step, until you are lying back in the original position. Lower your body slowly, slowly, slowly.

Once you are lying down again, remain in Savasana—the corpse pose—for two to three minutes. Let the body relax. Let the energy settle.

Counterpose (Mandatory After Inversion)

Whenever you do this inversion, you must do a counterpose. This is not optional. It is required to balance the energies.

  • Step One: Folding. Fold your legs and come into a compact, resting position.
  • Step Two: Forward bend. Bring your torso forward so your head comes down near the buttock region, resting on the floor. Adjust the height so your head is comfortable.
  • Step Three: Rest. Remain here for some time. Close your eyes. Focus your attention on your breathing. Feel the breath in your belly.

After this counterpose, lie down again in Savasana—the corpse pose—for five to ten minutes. Relax fully. Allow the energies to balance.

Immediate Effect

When you complete this technique, you will feel refreshed—extremely refreshed. The effect is immediate. You will notice the blood circulation in the crown region increasing. The blockages in apana—the downward-moving force—are cleared. The flow of prana begins, and you feel rejuvenated instantly.

This is why I suggest to you: if you want to learn yoga that has an immediate impact on your state of being, practice this. But remember: it only works from the right inner state.

If you do it from the ego, from the mind that wants to achieve something, then nothing will happen. If you are ready to dissolve, if you are ready to get dissolved in the process and become one with yourself, then this technique will work for you at the highest level.

Technique 2: Child Pose for Crown Chakra Clearance

There is another technique I will teach you for crown chakra clearance. This technique does not come with the same disclaimer as the previous one. You can adopt it immediately. You must already be familiar with it if you have been watching me and following my teachings. Still, let me show you step by step.

This is the Child Pose, and it is useful for crown chakra unblocking, for balancing, for increasing blood circulation, and for strengthening the connection of energy at the top of your head.

Classic Child Pose

  1. Sit in Vajrasana. Sit with your legs folded under you, heels under your buttocks.
  2. Stretch forward. From this position, bend your torso forward and stretch your body.
  3. Extend your arms. Reach your arms forward on the floor, stretching them ahead of you.
  4. Head down. Place your head on the ground. Let your forehead touch the floor.
  5. Hold the position. Be in this position for five to ten minutes. Breathe slowly. Relax into it.

Modified “Baby in the Womb” Version

There is also a modified version of Child Pose. In this variation, instead of stretching your arms forward, you bring your arms back.

  • Place your hands alongside your legs.
  • Relax your torso down.
  • Curl into yourself like a baby in the womb.

In this position, when you remain still and immobile, your inner space opens completely. The inside of your being totally opens.

Another Arm Placement

There is another modification. You can place your hands at the back, gently resting, and then relax into the pose. Each variation has its own subtle effect, and all bring more circulation into the head region.

If You Cannot Bend Fully

Sometimes, you may have pain in the groin region, or your body may not allow you to bend fully. Maybe due to age, body weight, or unhealthy state, you cannot do the full Child Pose. In such cases, do not worry. There is another version available for you.

  • Instead of fully bending, remain in a kneeling position.
  • Bring your head forward as much as you can.
  • Rest your head on the floor, or on some support if needed.

Even this partial version will help you. It will do what I am telling you here.

Why So Many Modifications?

I am showing you all these modifications because some of you, in your spiritual journey, are aged. Some of you have limitations due to body weight, due to health issues, due to stiffness. And these physical limitations are not allowing your Kundalini to progress easily.

So you need to train your body. You need to make it flexible. And how will this happen? When your blood circulation increases, when your prana increases, when your energy begins to flow more freely, then your body automatically becomes more capable.

This is why I tell you: do not take your body’s condition as a limitation. Do not say, “Because of my age I cannot progress,” or, “Because of my weight I cannot progress.” No. Work on your health. Work on your body. Work on your breath. Work on your energy. And everything becomes possible.

Purpose of Child Pose for Crown Chakra

The Child Pose is not only useful for flexibility or rest. It is useful for multiple purposes. One of the important purposes is the unblocking of the crown chakra. Why? Because in this posture, circulation in the head increases. Blood reaches the top of the head more effectively. Energy flows more freely. The crown is nourished and unblocked.

So, even if you cannot do the inversion technique I taught earlier, you can definitely do Child Pose or one of its modifications.

Closing Guidance

So that is all for this session of Kundalini yoga for the crown chakra.

If you want to have specific guidance from me, if you want to be certain that you are doing it in the right way and not in a harmful way, then be with me in the Projects. In the Projects, you will receive step-by-step solutions for your spiritual journey.

These techniques, when done correctly, can refresh you immediately. You will feel the difference right after practicing. Your blood circulation improves, your pranic flow begins, your apana is cleared, and you feel rejuvenated. But remember: the state from which you do it is the most important factor.

If you do it from the ego, from the mind that is seeking achievement, then nothing will happen. If you are ready to dissolve, ready to become one with yourself, ready to disappear into the process, then the technique will work at the highest.

This is the secret: the technique works not only because of the body movement but because of the state in which you surrender to it.

So, practice with humility. Practice with awareness. And if you want the deepest transformation, come into the Projects, and be guided step by step.

Have a great day. Thank you.
