Possibly, this is becoming a very complex explanation now. I think chakra balancing may be beyond the scope of this thread but there isn't going to be any long term energetic disruptions I wouldn't have thought from trying this WILD technique a few times a week, at least I haven't felt any. If you wanted to stay balanced though, also make sure you are still 'connected to the earth' and have a healthy base chakra if you are concerned. Maybe seek an energetic healer to get some feedback on the current state of your chakras too?

Are there any side affects for so much focus on the crown chakra if your other lower chakras aren't developed?

Again, possibly. Balancing the chakras is a journey where the process is more important than the destination. I would recommend maintaining a healthy balanced lifestyle by making sure you keep yourself grounded overall if you do spend time working with the higher chakras, particulary the crown and third eye. I have read a few times that it is advisable to have balanced the lower chakras before you start seriously opening your crown chakra. Zen style Meditation tends to do this naturally I think.

If you want to know more you should start researching the chakras, buy a good book on it, there can be alot of questions one wants to ask. I'm still in the learning process myself
