Heart, Throat, Third Eye, Crown for our Spirit Body

Heart Chakra

The heart chakra gives empathy, compassion, forgiveness, and acceptance. It’s also the chakra involved in changes and transformations. The heart chakra is a conduit for love energy.

The crown chakra is about spiritual connection and transformation. It lifts and inspires you, connecting you to the Divine (the Source, God, your higher power). This chakra is about wisdom and being one with the world. It governs and coordinates the other chakras. When balanced, one is quite aware of the world and yourself. Associated body parts include the pineal, upper skull, cerebral cortex, central nervous system, and skin. Physical problems include issues with learning, perception, spiritual understanding, epilepsy, nervous disorders, insomnia, depression, chronic fatigue, and headaches.

If the crown chakra is underactive, you're not aware of spirituality. If this chakra is overactive, you probably intellectualize things too much.
