I have been talking a lot about Essential Oils and their benefits, so when I started talking about Chakras it may have thrown some people a little. However, there is method and meaning in my madness as they say. In fact you will find some of the scents I have been concentrating on recently (Cedarwood, Ylang Ylang, Ginger, Marjoram, Frankincense, Rosemary, Peppermint and Lavender) being mentioned here and there is a very good reason for that.
As I have stated previously essential oils come with a wealth of benefits for the body and mind and it appears this is something that is recognised within the Chakra system, which is all about regaining balance to the mind and body. Each Chakra deals with a specific area and will focus on certain aspects contained within that. I do believe scent has a very powerful effect on all of us and can be used in a very positive way for our well being. Different scents can be used for each chakra and some will be useful in more than one.
These oils have been around for centuries and are making a comeback into our modern day lives. Use these oils in addition to other tools like yoga, to help bring balance to your chakra system.
The essential oils can be mixed with coconut or olive oil, and applied topically by rubbing on the feet or corresponding chakra area. Alternatively, try an aromatherapy approach by using a diffuser, or or diluting in tea or water. You can also ingest these oils in capsule form.
Use patchouli for an enhanced sense of grounding and stability.
Ylang Ylang and sandalwood both act as an aphrodisiac to aid in our sexual and reproductive energies.
Use cinnamon to help heat up this power center, or peppermint to cool any excess fire in the system.
The scent of rose is related to our heart, and enhances romance and love. It is also helpful for alleviating depression and insomnia.
Use eucalyptus to help clear sinuses and cure a sore throat or coughing, allowing this passageway to become free and clear for self-expression.
Lavender oil is incredibly calming and great for headaches; a common occurrence whenever your third eye is blocked. We can calm the active mind with lavender to reach a higher state of consciousness.
Frankincense is one of the most spiritually-charged oils. It has been around for thousands of years, and brings us mental peace and clarity.
