Chakra Supporting Oils
When we practice self-care through yoga, meditation or other activities in those precious quiet moments we can steal from our day, it is an ideal time to focus on specific areas of our body known as the chakras.
There are 7 main areas (chakras) that we can focus on depending on our body’s messages for where there is need for support, attention and love. Combining essential oils into your practice can enhance that experience and accomplish what is known as alignment of our chakra.
The oils used can be customized to our preference and need but in general the oils recommended are what is most commonly used for each chakra.
Root Chakra
The base of our spine is known as our root that grounds us to Earth and life.
This is where we feel centered, balanced and focused.
Oils should be applied to this area of the body with fractionated coconut oil or your favorite lotion.
Recommended oils for the Root Chakra include:
doTERRA Balance
Patchouli
Frankincense
Notice these are oils known for their ability to support us emotionally and physically. They help us sort through complex feelings and feel more in control of our situation. We can see more clearly and make the right decision for our journey.
It can be helpful to have these oils also applied all along the spine leading down to the tailbone area for an enhanced experience.
