Chakra blocks or damage can be caused in a number of ways and accumulate over time if we don’t keep them cleared and managed. These blocks can cause negative manifestations in our lives in a variety of ways. These issues can include our physical or mental health, the way in which we live and the sort of people and opportunities we attract.
Aromatherapy is another tool in which we can heal and clear our chakras. When we diffuse oils during our meditation and spiritual practices, we can anchor the emotions we are trying to achieve to ourselves and by wearing the oils throughout the day, we can carry these emotions with us.
Simply place 2-3 drops of the desired oil in your diffuser with water during meditation, yoga, self care practices or any other time you’d like to create a sense of calm, peace and happiness.
Place 1-2 drops in a carrier oil and place on wrists, chest and the back of your neck to carry them with you through your day. If you have sensitive skin like I do, diffuser jewelry may be a better option for you!
I have specific oils I diffuse during work, while sleeping, when people are over as well as certain things I’ll wear out of the house to keep my emotions balanced or my anxiety at bay.
It’s best to play around with them and find out what works specifically well for you!
