Through the years, I’ve done a lot of work with you on learning to work with your chakras. For those of you who may not be familiar, your chakras are energy centers in your body through which energy flows. Keeping our chakras cleared and balanced can go a long way to ensuring that our life runs smoothly and that we feel well. Aromatherapy is one very powerful method of activating our chakras. Each chakra has various scents associated with it. Exposing our noses to those scents will help 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. Since 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. I love essential oils in an aromatherapy diffuser. It allows me to choose the strength of scent I want, and I can combine scents to make a custom blend if I want by just adding drops of different oils to the water. I want to capture that perfect scent to go along with the energy that I’m trying to raise. You can also use incense, 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. You can combine them to work with those you wish to improve on. As always, follow your intuition and use what works best for you.
Root Chakra (our basic needs, grounding, vital energy, security) – vetiver, patchouli, geranium, peppermint, cedar, clove
Sacral Chakra (reproduction, creativity, taking action) – peppermint, orange, jasmine, sandalwood, gardenia, rosemary
Solar Plexus (joy, personal power, self-confidence, clarity) – lemon, bergamot, chamomile, eucalyptus
Heart Chakra (love, true self, bridge between lower three and upper chakras) – lavender, rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, yarrow, marjoram
Throat Chakra (communication, expression) – eucalyptus, tea tree, chamomile, sage
Third Eye Chakra (intuition, knowing, dreaming) – frankincense, juniper, rosemary, mint
Crown Chakra (higher intuition, connection to the divine) – sandalwood, frankincense, lavender, rose, spruce, lotus
Have a magickal day!
Much Love and Many Blessings,
