signs of overactive sahasrara chakra
Excessive: Overly intellectual, Spiritual addiction, Dissociation from body
There are a handful of signs that may point to an overactive crown chakra. When your crown chakra is overactive, you may physically experience recurring headaches, and sensitivity to light and sound. Emotionally, you may experience a lack of empathy, be caught in a cycle of addiction and living in fantasy, have difficulty focusing, overthinking, anxiety, and have a hard time making decisions or getting caught in “analysis paralysis”. Some may even find themselves rigid in religious beliefs or addicted to spirituality.
signs of underactive sahasrara chakra
Deficient: Disconnection, Depression, Spiritual cynicism
The biggest challenge of the Crown Chakra is on a mental level, when someone is too withdrawn and attached to the materialistic pursuits of this existence as well as stuck in their way of thinking. A person with an underactive Crown Chakra may experience unwillingness to be open to other ideas, thoughts, or knowledge. The signs such as psychosis, dissociation from the body, being disconnected and ungrounded are also manifested when the Crown Chakra is unbalanced.
