Chakra Balancing is one of the many skills used and taught by Maria Mitchell, our resident Aromatherapist. Here are some of her recommended essential oils for balancing your chakras.

Essential oils for your crown chakra

The lotus blossom is traditionally associated with the crown, many a meditation I have done starts with the words “imagine a lotus blossom on the top of your head, slowly opening in to allow energy to enter your body” ..bliss soon follows! Essential oils for the crown chakra include any from white blossoms, such as:

• Neroli
• Jasmine
• Champa

And rose oil, as opening your heart will open your crown chakra too.

Oils for your Ajna (Third eye) chakra

Our third eye is the chakra that helps us to see the big picture, to vision our future, to focus.  Oils that help open the third eye include:

• Lavender
• Basil
• Rosemary
• Clary sage

Essential oils for your Heart chakra

When the heart chakra opens, it helps all the other chakras to open too. It is the chakra that rules the heart and lungs, and also relationships.   Oils to use are:

• Rose – to open the heart and just be in love
• Lime – for light heartedness and playfulness
• Frankincense - for grief and letting go of losses
• Rosewood – care and comfort for those who care for others, eg teachers, nurses, carers.

Essential oils for your Base chakra

Your base chakra governs our physical wellbeing, and our sense of safety.  A depleted base chakra can result in depression, back pain or financial difficulties.  To get grounded and feel safe use:

• Vetiver
• Ginger
• Black pepper
• Patchouli
