The study of chakras comes from India and is more than 4,000 years old. The word chakra means "wheel" in Sanskrit, a sacred and holy language of Hinduism and Buddhism.
Chakras correspond to vital points in the physical body i.e. major plexuses of arteries, veins and nerves.
Seven primary chakras and 21 lesser chakras are thought to exist. Chakras are also sometimes referred to as 'energy centres' or 'vortices'. Each chakra is thought to resemble a coloured wheel that spins in a clockwise direction, and the chakras are thought to each spin at a different rate or frequency. The colour codes represent a different vibrational frequency.
It is believed that our thoughts and actions are absorbed through each chakra. When negative energy flows through a chakra it begins to spin too fast or two slow, making it unbalanced. This can effect us both physically, emotionally and spiritually. When our chakras align then we will feel the flow of energy and start to feel balance in our lives and health.
Massage, reflection, meditation and energy work using essential oils can help restore balance to each of the chakras.
Use the essential oils or blends listed below with purpose, intent and positive thoughts. Lie down or sit in a quiet place whilst focusing on the location of the chakra. Repeat the associated affirmations, or use your own. Our roll-on blends can be applied directly to each corresponding area of the body. Our essential oil blends can be diffused or diluted in carrier oil and used for massage, concentrating on the corresponding chakra points. Our aromatherapy mists can be used as body mists or room sprays.
