Pain in crown chakra...help

Hello - I am hoping this is the right place for my question. If not, please feel free to suggest alternate options, I am definitely open to ideas.

I have persistent pain in my Third Eye/Crown chakra. I have had it for about three years. All physical causes have been ruled out. I am now looking at possible metaphysical causes and a friend suggested possible chakra cleansing/healing/training as a solution.

I know that it hurts most when I am stressed, tired, or tense. I know that I am very empathetic to others' emotions and that the pain increases when I am around others who are experiencing strong emotions. I have had at least one healer tell me that I need to get better at "shutting out the pain of others because I suck it in like a vacuum through my third eye" or something to that effect.

It hurts almost constantly and can be exacerbated by physical ills (i.e., cold, tension headache, toothache, etc). I know that when I meditate with direct focus on that spot it actually tends to hurt worse, but when I apply pressure to it or massage the area it is effective temporarily at relieving the pain.

I am just now considering the idea of chakras and I know very little about it but am extremely open to new solutions at this point, having been failed miserably by Western medicine I am trying new paths, so any help you can offer is gratefully accepted.

Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?

Thank you in advance - OWR

    I am very sensitive as well in my 6th chakra. You should try a grounding breath.
    Breathe into the space above your crown, in through your nose. As you exhale out your mouth - do it in short little gentle burst. Focus the energy down to your third eye, then throat, then heart, then solar plexus, then below navel and then root - exhaling completely to the core of the earth. feel the energy surge up from the mama and do it again as many times as you need but at least three.
    I had energy stuck in my crown for 2 days and this worked for me. I had to use the grounding breath for about 10 minutes.

    Good luck!

    Hey one
    My guides are chating with yours. They say you are going through a kundalini cleansing from the top down. This processs is called initiation and will continue till it has worked the blocks in all your chackras. As was sugessed do gounding excersises. Also ask the Archangel Michael and Raphael to help empty out these chackras that are in pain. Surrender these blokages to God and pray for less pain in the cleasing and initiation process. Oh yes and FYI the initiation will start to engage th higher psychic funtions very soon.

    Love and Light

    I hope this info helps...if you would like the assistance of essential oils, I make oils for each of the chakras...and also invidually channeled blends.

    It is said that your third eye and your crown chakras rule your pineal and pituitary glands.

    The third eye is your seat of inner wisdom and vision, dreams, gifts of clairvoyance adn perception. We use this chakra for visualliztion, recieving insight and inspiration.
    If this area is calling your attention I am called to ask of you...what have you seen intuitivly that you are not listening to...if nothing stirs up than perhaps you are being called to do more meditation so that you can recieve the messages that are aptly beating their way through.
    If lists of things you need to do form in your head...try the third eye healing mantra...OM
    You can also carry certain stones with you...azurite, clear quartz and moonstone.


    The crown chakra is the chakra of your divine purpose and destiny. It balances the interior and exterior and brings them into a harmonious whole. This chakra is said to be your own place of connection to the Divine....and represents your belief systems both conscious and unconscious. It begs you to look at something that is out of alignment. Is your outer self a true reflection of your inner self...or are you following someone else's plan...so to speak?
    The mantra to help you heal this chakra is AUM...stones that can help are amethyst, quartz and sugalite.

    If you are unfamiliar with the stones go to a metaphysical store...ask about the stones that grab your attention...they will most likely be the ones you need.

    If you don't resonate with any of the above and truly feel you are just taking in the sarrow and negativity of others than...yes ask the Archangels to assist you. Ask Archangel Raphael for guidance in your communications with the Divine, and to help you to balance, heal, and adjust your chakras to
    the appropriate size; ask Archangel Raziel, who governs the third eye and sight to clear away all confusion so that you may see the cause; ask Archangel Michael to assist you with your lift purpose and to shed light onto fears of moving forward...imagine his sword releasing the snare of fear. He also cuts through all negative energy and protects all those who call on him.

    (Ironically...just by calling on the Archangels you will be working with your third eye and crown chakras :0)

    ...again...I hope some of this helps.
    the appropriate size and for guidance

        self massage and flexing your head muscles may help. we all have parasites from eating uncooked pork, or just what we have naturally as I think humans crawled up biologically as symbiotic parasites, with clams spiders snails, facetick, etc forming what we know as the human body, with seven energy centers spread spectrum across the seven planes of electromagnetic energy. I am not writing a dietic health book on how to unify what still believes to be segmented so go ahead. at least try this plant pau d'arco. it is anti bacterial fungal microbal viral cancer and most importantly anti parasitical. free samples are available somewhere online and it is my favorite plant. i am a smoker and after smoking a bit of this I felt a malignant tube detach from my lung as if IT had a breathing tube, they always slither away and then something inside me died and I felt great.
        sorry about that but its true

    hello to the tribe.

    I've been through a similar experience.

    in my case and experience, when "third eye" is getting stronger it tries to destroy a layer of "false views", pain comes from this process but it may happen that those false views are strong and resist to be destroyed so the pain persists... you must be prepared to face whatever it is trying to show however sordid it may be and be prepared to drop concepts, beliefs and even morals... think that conciousness wants to return to its natural spontaneous state but all you have learned is in the way.

    your personality will become stronger after the process and what now causes pain will cause pleasure and peace.

    thats my opinion and hope it helps.

    My first advice is an esoteric mantra found deep within the vedic scriptures. The crown chakra is Sahasrara. The seed sound for Lakshmi the goddess of Abundance is pronouced SHREEM. Becase Abundance also means an abundance of health, and the syllables of Sahasrara (crown are the beginnings of Lakshmi's mantra. You can balance and activate your crown by doing the mantra

    Sa-Has-Ra-Ra Im (pronounced EEM)

    Do this mantra once a day, 108 times for 40 days. If you miss one day, you must start the mantra over for another 40 days. But this mantra will be beyond effective.

    In addition, I'd recommend you go see a chiropractor.

    Love,
    Amaya

    Three years? sounds serious.

    Have you tried concentrating on all the OTHER chakras to bring them into balance. It could be some energy is blocked in ANOTHER chakra, and is causing an energy build up in another one.

    I'd also try grounding yourself more, especially if massaging the area helps. Work with the root chakra to do this. You should imagine that the energy should be able to move between ALL the chakras. If theres a block somewhere the pressure build up may occcur somewhere else in a more sensitive place. I'd also try massaging the neck and upper back.

    Dear One,
    My own personal history includes many years of severe migraine, often lasting days at a time 24/7 with no relief. The pains pushed me into exploring many kinds of alternative healing since mainstream medicine was worse than useless. Over the years I've developed some significant expertise in clearing pain, especially head pain. Here is fairly step by step pain reduction protocol that you may want to try - www.aligningenergies.com/reducepain.html
    Also, I would recommend that you continue to look for a medical cause. Please read about my own health saga. In particular, you should make sure that you rule out any dental/jawbone cavitation problems. Here is my story - www.aligningenergies.com/healthsaga.html
    Good luck, Cerridwen

    HI

    I just started doing some sound yoga about a week ago, and it's great!, Although - I got a similar problem to you - very strong persistent pain between my eyebrows. Because I was thinking about chakras because of the sound yoga I thought of the third eye. Anyway - I went to see a massage therapist and I mentioned head pain between my eyes and she suggested the neck muscles were tight. Hey presto, she massaged them and I feel loads better now. They are the ones along the top of your shoulders - apparently if they are tight you get pain right between the eyes. I'm not saying that the chakra wasn't the cause, but for treatment, stretching those muscles really helped. To relax them more permanently, strengthening the LOWER trapezius is very beneficial. Not many people know this but for pain around and between the eyes, the lower trapezius is very important for getting rid of it because it needs to be strong and toned to pull the shoulder blades down and stretch out the tight muscles of the upper trapezius and neck. To strengthen the lower trapezius all you need to do is bring the shoulder blades down and together. If you use weights you can also do this - look them up on youtube. There are probably yoga exercises too.

    Anyway for a general reference on head pain and related muscles around the body I found this and it's very informative:

    Hope this helps

    this is something i have seen personally.

    woman was very open minded , spiritual etc etc.....really on a journey to enlightening herself more and uplifting her so ul....her one problem..she was afraid.....its natural, humans are afraid of the unknown. due to her fear.....as much as her third eye was ready to open and show her the world....she was so scared because of a few previous bad enounters...she was subconciously forcing it to stay closed...it caused headaches up the a**, sleeping issues..she was essentially fighting herself....

    finally a teacher . i say a teacher because he is a very wise person in these regards....very in touch , an amazing empath, very intuitive, open etc etc.....he sat down with her and not only nurtured a little. but he sorta gave her tough love and told her to stop f***** running and let it happen, she got pissed at him..but after a hour of them going a it. he told her she was much better now...that night she experienced astrals, she felt weightless etc etc. and the headaches stopped

      i think i can relate to this.
      there are aspects of spirituality that scare the bejeesers outta me.
      some things that i read... i think they sound truthful and i think i resonate with them... but then i get scared and i avoid thinking about it.
      I sometimes think i could really use a teacher.
      problem is most people i meet are not as aware as i am.

        I find that at a certain point in my 'evolution' I passed my teachers... and found children speaking the truths I needed to hear, or the checkout clerk... or a sign post had the words that spoke into my thoughts, and I found my eyes focusing on them without real-eyesing why.

        Now is the age of the spirit that imbues us all. everyone must be able to discern whether or not a truth resonates with you, or not.

        the fear of change often manifests physically as pain. the conscious mind believes it would love to do away with the pain... while subconsciously we are choosing to continue to experience it rather than go further.

        When I first opened my crown, I can remember feeling my awareness shift between my pure lighted crown, and all the lower chakras. it was like the lower were screaming 'don't let in all this light!'. yet it felt so divine, I did.

        It awakened boatloads of fear. everything felt sexually charged, violent... everything seemed to be dying... it is these feelings that loom beneith and behind the change. While the pains may seem unendurable, they are often far preferable to facing the ego death, facing a wild prana flow which seems to want sex everywhere, facing repressed anger that manifests as rage that drives people to kill, or commit suicide.

        And yet it is opening to the divine that also washes these feelings clean, and allows us to start anew.

        I don't share these things to scare, I share them because they are there, and it is only through awareness, and humility, and the surredner to fierce love, that we can learn to move through them.

        while I honor the many 'teachers along my path, ultimately it is the friendships, the company, and the unconditional love of others that brings me through.

        living love, prana, chi, is everywhere. the 'answers' are everywhere. We choose what we trust, even if we are choosin to turn over our power to another person, that was our choice to begin with.

        A Dine Peyote church guide taught me that. He expressed four contradictory ideas to me within an hour, each with fierce assertion. then laugh. the lesson?

        I couldn't just trust 'him'. Because he was contradicting himself. Whatever I choose to trust.

        Is me.

          you always write great things :D

          can you tell me something... after you experienced this awakening.. are you still you? I mean, you are still the same person?

          I do find meaning all over the place. I see answers in different places. 'all roads lead to rome' sort of thing.
          it's like i am currently being bombarded with stuff.

            No, I haven't been the same person.

            I went through three major 'awakenings' of my energy body, each with its own form of ego death... before I even began to feel on top of what was happening. then it was years of akward changes, learning to ride the shifts, feel the balance.

            I left my job, home, girlfriend..., and perhaps half my friends.

            I used to chant a mantra

            'glide step
            side to side
            you can't be firm
            unless you can ride'

    Namaste,
    Yes this phase also do come in Awakening and some time it last for much time as it depends on individual to individual.
    One can not determine the time phase in this process,but yes can help it by having faith and doing some more detailed practices .
    It is the process towards accomplishment/Enlightenment.
    Be happy and enjoy the life,this is the birth pain one has to go through to take new birth from self.
    My well wishes are with you.

      I highly reccomend meditating on the heart with the crown. As you feel the crown vibrating, in anyway, place hands on the heart and 'intend' to bring balance between them. The energy is bottlenecked in the crown, and it needs to flow. I have found the lower chakras often resist this process, because it brings radical changes, which are often more scary than the pain of keeping the 'kink' in the crown.

      A great place to start - is with the heart. Breathe in a way you can feel it, and expect the crown to open more sometimes, which will bring phases of greater intensity, which sometimes will be painful, and will eventually transform. this is key, when you are having new sensations, the body/mind will often interpret them as pain initially, but as you bring focused attention INTO the sensations, you can allow yourself to learn a wider range of feelings. It gets better. It helps to surrender to love beyond what you can understand, yet, as you feel.

        HI, I am new on this board and not sure if revisiting a topic is ok or if one should start a new topic.
        But I do need some help with the pain in my crown chakra and into my forehead. I have been reading everything
        on this board and mayeb I am frustrated but it hurts, I cant focus and I am excited that I have finally been able to get to this stage.
        This is my 3rd rebirth and it is a doozy. My crown opened up about 3 weeks ago, no warning. I think I am starting to feel some of the effects of its opening but the problem I beleive is with my 3rd eye. Fear has been my best friend for a long time and I am really trying to let go
        at a time in my life that is very hard. I jsut wish I could have this coming out party-open 3rd eye and move on.
        Any advise would be apprecaited.

          There are so many good suggestions on this post, and I just wanted to chime in with mine. I recommend toning. It's been the most helpful for me. You can get any book by Jonathan Goldman that can help you. If you have trouble figureing out how to do this, send me a PM. I will be happy to help. I am a Holistic Voice Teacher and Sound Healer.

          Heart Heart Heart Diana.
          When you want to balance the third eye, focus on the hear. It is possible to move the tension in the third eye to the heart, and 'melt it'. It feels a bit like a shudder, and will consistently leave you with a calmness, along with the absense of fear, tension, nervousness. \

          The crown balances the heart. If you have way opened your crown, it is a good idea to allow the opening in the heart as well anyway, and the third eye to heart connection will help that.

          simply breathe, and allow your attention to shift between the two centers you are working on, a bit like a bounce.

          Trust Love
