Lavender, Frankincense & Myrrh

Reiki for the Crown Chakra, A Ritual for Stillness, Spiritual Union & Divine Remembrance

There are moments when I’m not searching for answers—
I’m just remembering.
Not striving to reach the Divine, but realizing it was always within me.
This is the medicine of the Crown Chakra.

When I feel disconnected, uncertain, or spiritually scattered, I return to rituals that create space for silence. For breath. For grace.

Essential oils like Lavender, Frankincense, and Myrrh help me lift the veil between the physical and the sacred. They don’t push—they open. They invite. And when paired with Reiki, they create a channel for presence that reminds me who I truly am.

👑 Understanding the Crown Chakra and Why It Matters

The Crown Chakra—Sahasrara—is located at the top of the head and is considered the gateway to Divine consciousness. It’s where I experience connection to Source, truth, and spiritual wisdom beyond logic.

When this chakra is open and balanced, I feel peaceful, trusting, and supported by something greater than myself. I don’t have to know all the steps—I just know I’m guided.

When it’s blocked, I may feel mentally heavy, disconnected from purpose, or overwhelmed by doubt. I might chase answers or cling to control.

Tending to this chakra brings me back to trust. To presence. To surrender.

🌿 Why Lavender, Frankincense & Myrrh Work for the Crown

These sacred oils are spiritual companions—each one offering a different key to unlock higher states of awareness.

Lavender: Calming, soothing, and expansive. Helps quiet the mind and bring emotional serenity during meditation.
Frankincense: Sacred, ancient, and anchoring. Deepens breath, slows thoughts, and bridges body with spirit.
Myrrh: Grounding and mystical. Supports spiritual devotion, stillness, and surrender into the eternal.

Together, they hold space for divine connection—a trinity of calm, clarity, and communion.

✨ How Reiki Supports Crown Chakra Healing

Reiki for the Crown is like a soft breeze from above.
When I place my hands lightly over my head or float them just above, I feel a tingling, glowing presence—as if I’m being gently opened from the inside out.

Reiki doesn’t force awakening. It allows it.
It reminds me that surrender is not giving up—it’s letting in.

🌌 Crown Chakra Ritual with Lavender, Frankincense & Myrrh

You’ll Need:

1–2 drops of Lavender, Frankincense, and/or Myrrh (intuitively selected)
Carrier oil (I use fractionated coconut or jojoba for head application)
Clear Quartz or Selenite (optional)
Quiet space, dim lighting or natural candlelight
963 Hz frequency or silence

🕊️ Step-by-Step Ritual: Divine Connection & Stillness

Prepare Sacred Stillness
I create space for quiet—no expectations, no rush. A cushion, soft light, and maybe incense or a white cloth help me shift into reverence.
Anoint with Presence
I mix my chosen oils with carrier oil and gently apply to the top of my head (crown), temples, or wrists.
As I inhale, I say: “I remember. I surrender. I am held.”
Reiki Light Activation
I place my hands lightly on or above the crown of my head.
If I feel called, I place one hand over my heart and one hovering above my crown.
I invite Reiki energy to flow through, from above, like light cascading down.
Visualize the Divine Flow
I see a radiant white or violet light spiraling at the top of my head, streaming upward and downward—connecting me to Source and anchoring into Earth.
Repeat the Affirmation “I am open to Divine wisdom. I trust in what I cannot yet see. I am one with all.”
Close in Silence or Meditation
I rest for 5–10 minutes, eyes closed, soaking in stillness.
Sometimes I receive insight. Sometimes just peace. Either is enough.

💬 Common Challenges & Encouragement

Disconnection from Spirit: That’s the best time to do this. Surrender into not knowing. Presence will meet you there.
Overactive mind: Use Lavender and longer exhalations to settle the nervous system before the ritual.
Not “feeling” anything: Trust the process. Crown energy is subtle and often integrates gently over time.

🌠 How I Use This Ritual in Daily Life

I begin spiritual writing or deep prayer with Frankincense at my crown and Reiki at my heart.
When I feel cut off from my intuition, I rest in silence with Selenite across my forehead and a drop of Lavender on my wrists.
After emotional exhaustion or overstimulation, Myrrh brings me back to deep, sacred stillness.
