Through the years we’ve done quite a bit with learning to work with our chakras. For those of you who may not be familiar, your chakras are energy centers in our body through which energy flows. When we keep our chakras cleared and balanced it can go a long way to how smoothly our life runs and how well we feel. Aromatherapy is one very powerful method of activating our chakras. Each chakra has various scents associated with it, that when we expose our noses to those scents it will help to open the chakra we are targeting and help it to allow the flow of energy throughout ourselves.
If you are aware of a particular chakra being blocked or causing you issues, you may wish to target that specific chakra. As general maintenance, you can expose each of your chakras to the corresponding scent to help keep them maintained. Being that there are seven main chakras, one excellent way to do this is to choose one scent each day, beginning with your root chakra and working your way up.
You can work with these scents in a variety of ways. One of my personal favorites is incense. I have a set of incense targeted specifically for the chakras. It’s put out by HEM and is called Seven Chakra Incense. If you are interested you can pick up a box on Amazon for $6.45. It’s on sale for $4.50 at the time that I’m writing this. This includes one incense pack for each chakra with 5 sticks of each in it. (35 sticks) Here’s the link: Seven Chakras Incense. They also have a larger pack for $21.80 that consists of 12 sets of the full chakra set. (420 incense sticks) Seven Chakras Bulk
There are other methods you can use such as burning essential oils, misting sprays with scents, candles, perfumes, roll-ons, etc. Below is a list of each of the chakras with some of their corresponding scents. Keep in mind that you can mix and match as you please. You will notice that some scents work for one or more chakras. Use this to your advantage if you have more than one chakra you wish to work with. Make a custom blend of essential oils to work with those you wish to improve on. As always, follow your intuition and use what works best for you.
