See Exodus 29:6
6 And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre. If you look at the foot note the HEB translation is turban.
"A mitre was made of linen and was a wrap of linen about his head in the form of a turban... The holy crown was a plate of gold which had these words, "holiness to the Lord", engraven on it." (Bible Hub)
Meditation is a way to come in to the presence of the Lord. We cover our heads and crown our selves as we do so. I reminded of the temple. In the temple everyone covers their heads in preparation for more spiritual knowledge. We do not cover heads at baptism, or when receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, nor do we cover our heads when we are receiving our washing and anointings. We cover our heads when we come before the Lord to receive our Endowment, knowledge from on high, and great blessings and "the crowning" sealing ordinances.
Covering our heads lends focus to our meditation. I love it when I cover my head with a scarf there is a very royal feeling about it- perhaps its because I played too much dress-up as a child, but when I do
I also find that on hard days, when I am having problems being patent and talking like a princess would to others, if I put a hat on it reminds me to act more God like and gives me that constant reminder to chose to act like a Goddess and not like a natural man.
