9. Burn White, Purple, or Violet candles.

10. Focus and meditate on a Crown chakra mandala, like this one below:

11. Breathe in Purple/Violet/White light into your crown chakra. This is how you do it: Close your eyes, and when you breathe in, imagine a bright and beautiful Purple/Violet/White light entering your Crown chakra, and brightening and clearing it. Say your affirmations for this chakra along with this exercise.

12. I find visualization most effective for this purpose. Close your eyes, and imagine a Purple/Violet/White disc where your Crown chakra is.  Focus on it for a few seconds, and then start enlarging and brightening this disc. Enlarge it to extend out of your body and around it to a diameter of about 2 feet. Say in your mind, “My Crown chakra is now balanced, opened, and healed”. However, this needs to be done for all 7 chakras, so they are all balanced. Doing this once or twice a day for all your 7 chakras keeps your chakras balanced, opened, unblocked, and helps you be physically, emotionally, energetically, and spiritually healthy. It also improves your psychic senses.

13. Focus at the top of your head.
