An overactive crown chakra can make you feel out-of-sorts. When there is pronounced overactivity in the seventh energy center you may not only feel detached from the world around you, but you may also appear to others as flighty. Familiarizing yourself with symptoms of a crown chakra imbalance are necessary for cleansing and balancing this energy center.
Signs of An Overactive Crown Chakra
Seated at the top of your head, the crown, or Sahasrara, chakra links you with divine energy and blends the physical and non-physical realms. The seventh chakra also governs your consciousness and subconsciousness while it influences your spirituality, inner wisdom, and your ability to relate to your inner self and others.
When the crown chakra falls out of balance it affects how you function and relate to your environment. An overactive crown chakra can leave you vulnerable to a variety of physical and non-physical symptoms including:
- depression
- lack of empathy
- dizziness
- confusion
- mental fogginess
- seizures
- light sensitivity

Most of us have energetic blocks and imbalances as well as energy-sabotaging habits that prevent us from accessing our full vitality, which leads us to feel exhausted, scattered, dull… even ill.

In some cases, an overactive crown chakra may also create feelings of superiority toward others, and aggression, as well as a tendency to be judgemental and critical of others. It is not uncommon to be distrustful of others or to feel lost — as though you’re in the midst of a crisis or have lost your way in life — when the crown chakra is too active.
In contrast, when the crown chakra is balanced you feel:
- grounded
- in control of your emotions
- intuitive
- connected to the divine
Balancing Crown Chakra Overactivity
Restoring balance to the seventh chakra is key to maintaining a healthy balance within your chakra system overall.
Changing up your diet to include healthy, whole foods and adding regular exercise to your routine is sometimes enough to help restore balance. However, if the overactivity is prolonged or severe, energy healing may be necessary to get your chakra energy flow back on track. Incorporating the use of aromatherapy, chakra healing stones, Reiki, or even Tai Chi can help alleviate issues of chakra overactivity.
It is important to remember energy healing takes time to work, so signs and symptoms of imbalance will not subside overnight.

Is feeling like you’re vibrating also a symptom of an overactive crown or third eye chakra? Because I start to feel like that every time I meditate on those chakras. I’ve seen that it could mean that you have an excessive amount of spiritual energy in your body and you just need to be grounded, however I’m still not completely sure yet.
thank you
Eat foods that are rich in antioxidants such as blueberries, strawberries and pomegranate,
goji berries, elderberries, cranberries in order to help healing this crown chakra. And of course you will also need to do physical exercise. You need to do things that are good for the brain. Meditation, Physical exercise, eating healthy foods are the most beneficial.
Hello, I had to answer, not only did you post on my anniversary, but my daughter is also Aquarius. My Husband and son are water signs and with so much air and water I am always helping my family get grounded. I am an Aries, so it is easy to pick up on when my emotional water signs and my scattered air sign have gotten lost in the upper realms like third eye and crown. If you are still struggling please let me know. Love and Light.

the overactive crown chakra has its disadvantages but it worth it because of the way you see life and people in their true faces no matter howe hard they keep hiding it
Yes it is hard to keep some friends when you begin to ascend but it is so necessary that we begin. We can see the truth of what is so imbalanced in this world and it can be scary and we can over react at times out of a sense of helplessness. We must continue with a cool head and prepare for a new beautiful world that is based on spirituality, romanticism, family, purity of soul, local self-reliance and unity. The world of greed, sexual perversion, narcissism, gender neutrality, big banks, war, debt and spiritual darkness must go.

Hello, My name is Mezzy, and I am one who carries the water for people. (the water bearer) and i am a female, anyways, i am finding myself constantly stuck in “fantasy” world (as others say), To the point where I don’t enjoy things I used to. I feel like i cutt off people who care or want to be in my life whenever they are speaking of irrevelant things or just being evil in their selfish bad habit ways. Dont get me wrong, i am no saint either, but i do have the realization of my actions and the vibrations that send off of me in other people’s bubble. i hope that i am not too complicated in explaining this situation. what i am really trying to figure out is just a specific detailed solution that i can possibly get from you. as in, to simply balance my crown with everything else, or to the level where I’m not looked at like a crazy person. i mean i understand the rest of the awareness, but where i live, there’s more evil than good, i mean so far this whole year in total, I’ve only met like four people whom fully understand me to the point that its known as an awakening. i apologize if i didn’t fully explain my problem, my vocabulary communication is not extended, i am a simple worded woman who’s verbal uses are hard to understand with almost everyone . Thank you so much, thank you for this.
To Mezzy:
Carry your weight first. Love yourself first then you will be able to love others effortlessly. How to love ones self? Eat organic healthy foods for your dosha. Eat just enough so that you don’t accidentally stuff any pains you may be carrying. Exercise regularly. And most importantly, don’t rely on others for love or you likely will slack on loving yourself.
Fantasy happens when we are running away from pains we carry. Instead of dealing with our creations, we are trying to create sweeter fantasies or more karma to our baggage.
God is within you. Connect with that. Become receptive to that. For a quick awakening, seek out a guru with an open mind and open heart. One who has mastered themselves can help others. Though many in todays world talk rather than walk. Trust your heart to guide you.
May the light within be realized. This is the real self.
