Root Chakra Essential Oils Root chakra essential oils can be used for balancing and grounding. Located at the base of the spine, the root chakra is associated with survival issues, self preservation instinct, and the fight or flight response. On the physical level, the root chakra is associated with adrenal glands, the skeletal structure, teeth, large intestine, kidneys, and the blood. On the emotional level, root chakra imbalance may manifest as anger or rage, fearfulness, frustration, anxiety, and depression. On the mental level, someone with a root chakra imbalance may experience black and white thinking, pessimism or negative thinking about life. On the spiritual level, root chakra issues may show up as stubbornness and not willing to expand one's view point. Essential oils embody the frequencies and healing properties of plants. Not only they deliver certain properties to the physical body, they also work on the mental, emotional and spiritual levels. The following are the most commonly used root chakra essential oils: Sandalwood is considered a sacred oil. Its properties are calming, sedative and antidepressant. Used during meditation it can help to awaken life force energy. Sandalwood is gentle on the nervous system, it calms and harmonizes the emotional body and helps with grounding of excessive root chakra issues. Myrrh is also considered a sacred oil. This is an uplifting oil that promotes spiritual awareness. This oil helps to build a bridge between the crown and the root chakras. It has a gentle, calming effect on the nervous system, allowing for feelings of safety to arise. Myrrh brings us closer to our true nature, our essence, grounding us in this truth, and allowing transcendence of the material aspect of the root chakra. Frankincense, like Sandalwood and Myrrh is a sacred oil, or holly oil in Middle Eastern countries. This is one of my favorite oils. It has a lovely deep, warm, and sweet aroma. Frankincense has antidepressant and sedative qualities. It is a soothing oil, calming, and like Myrrh, it helps to connect the crown and the root chakras. Ylang Ylang helps to cool down excessive root chakra issues, such as agitation and fear. It has a calming effect on the nervous system, eases nervous tension, and is known to be a relaxing and sedative essential oil. Cedar Atlas, or Cedarwood, has a wonderful calming, woody aroma. It is used to calm anger and ease nervous tension This oil is also used during the practice of meditation and yoga. Cedarwood helps with grounding while allowing communication with the higher realms. Juniper is a purifying oil and increases circulation through the kidneys. On an emotional level, Juniper helps to break up psychological stagnation and free up constricted energy. Vetiver bridges the gap between the root chakra and the crown chakra. It is a natural sedative, with grounding and calming properties. Vetiver is my favorite root chakra essential oil for calming down overactive root chakra due to shock or trauma. It may also help promote restful sleep. Cinnamon aids the functioning of the adrenal glands, is a tranquilizer and has antidepressant qualities. Ginger is a circulatory stimulant and is useful when someone frequently experiences cold hands and feet. The fight or flight response constricts blood vessels and ginger can be helpful to move blood through the body. Cypress oil is known for its ability to harmonize the blood. This only moves blood and therefore helps to move the vital force, the vital energy, or Qi, through the body. Cypress is also used for strengthening of the blood capilaries. Carrot seed is one of the lesser known or lesser used root chakra essential oils. When used for root chakra balancing, this oil is used as a blood cleanser and a general tonic for the nervous system. The aroma of clove helps to create feelings of protection and safety and promote good sleep. Clove is also used for dissolving blood clots, removing stagnation in the blood. Sacral Chakra Essential Oils Sacral chakra essential oils can be used for balancing and getting in touch with your emotions. Located at the pelvic area, the sacral chakra is associated with pleasure, creativity, sensuality, and emotions. On the physical level, the sacral chakra is associated with reproductive organs, kidneys, and bladder. On the emotional level, sacral chakra imbalance may manifest as rapid emotional changes, obsessive thinking, and emotional confusion. On the mental level, someone with a sacral chakra imbalance may experience rigidity, creative blocks, and difficulty with relating to others. On the spiritual level, sacral chakra issues may show up as fragmentation, dissociation, and deadened feelings. Essential oils embody the frequencies and healing properties of plants. Not only they deliver certain properties to the physical body, they also work on the mental, emotional and spiritual levels. The following are the most commonly used sacral chakra essential oils: Sandalwood is considered a sacred oil and on a spiritual level, it helps to reunite the spirit with the senses. This soft, woody, and earthy oil is sensual, yet deeply tranquil. Sandalwood is associated with the Empress, one of the Tarot symbols, which symbolizes the universal mother womb, where all gestation begins. On a physical level of the second chakra, this oil may help easy menstrual problems. Ylang Ylang, This sweet and tropical oil is known for its aphrodisiac qualities. It stimulates sexual energy and enhances relationships. It is both a stimulating and calming essential oil which reunites emotional aspects and sensual aspects of our being. The oil also has a calming action on the heart, brings back feelings of self-love, confidence, and joy in simple pleasures. Clary Sage, This warm, musky, and slightly spicy oil has been used during the Middle Ages for female complaints and kidney disorders. Clary Sage is both strenghtening and relaxing. Known for its emotionally uplifting effect, this oil can bring on euphoria. As the name implies, Clary Sage promotes clarity and is especially useful during times of emotional confusion. Jasmine Warm, with an exquisite floral scent and comforting sweetness, Jasmine has been known for its aphrodisiac qualities. Jasmine harmonizes sensual and emotional aspects of our being. It helps to reawaken passion and restore capacity for creativity. On the physical level, Jasmine has been used during labour, easing painful and prolonged deliveries. The emotional effects of Jasmine are profound as it opens the deepest layers of the soul, allowing us to get in touch with our emotions. Orange is frequently thought of as and oil of abundance. Allowing one to open the sensual part of the being and accept all the simple gifts of life. Orange oil symbolizes innocence and fertility. Due to its liver stimulating properties, this uplifting oil has also the ability to free up stagnant life energy. Orange oil can bring emotional ease, optimism, creativity, and adaptability. Bergamot, This sweet, lively, and citrusy oil will enliven your senses and encourage the release of repressed emotions. Bergamot is uplifting as well as gently relaxing. It helps to disperse stangant energy, releasing stress and tension. Rosewood, This sweet, woody, floral oil is known for its aphrodisiac qualities as well as for promoting hormone secretion. On an emotional level Rosewood relaxes the body, calms the mind and relieves stress, allowing one to be in touch with their emotions and senses. Neroli, also called Orange Blossom, with its sweet, delicate, citrusy aroma, has powerful emotional effects. It calms and relaxes the body and spirit. Its frequency vibrates at the second chakra and encourages sensuality, peace, courage, and joy. A natural tranquilizer, Neroli is often used for anxiety and shock from trauma. Solar Plexus Chakra Essential OilsSolar Plexus chakra essential oils can be used for getting in touch with your emotions and for balancing the third chakra. Located between the navel and the solar plexus, the solar plexus chakra is associated with the will and identity, the perception of who we are. On the physical level, the solar plexus chakra is associated with the digestive system, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. On the emotional level, solar plexus chakra imbalances may manifest as selfishness, stubbornness, domination, and desire for power. On the mental level, someone with a solar plexus chakra imbalance may display cynicism, sarcasm, competitiveness. On the spiritual level, solar plexus chakra issues may show up as feelings of worthlessness, fear of death, or being stuck in the ego/person/identity. Essential oils embody the frequencies and healing properties of plants. These frequencies and properties work on all levels of being. Choosing essential oils is best done in consultation with a qualified aromatherapy practitioner. Working with the seven chakras and their imbalances is complex as everything is interconnected. The following are the most commonly used solar plexus chakra essential oils: Bergamot, This sweet and citrusy oil encourages release of pent up feelings and helps to disperse stagnant life force energy. It may help to alleviate anxiety, stress, and tension. Bergamot harmonizes stagnant liver energy by releasing feelings of anger, especially when the anger is turned inward and manifests as depression. Bergamot is also known for its beneficial effects on the digestive system. Lavender is considered one of the most universal oils. Its effects go where balancing is needed and is often used as a
General Instruction The yogic exercises should be performed regardless of the activity level of the chakra, and to help balance and keep Muladhara balanced. If your chakra is under-active then use the "Bring more Earth" and "Stimulate Muladhara" activities. If your chakra is over-active then use the "Lessen the Earth" and "Calm the Muladhara" activities. Yogic Exercises **Caution**Follow the instructions given to the letter. Do not try to perform poses that hurt, or are difficult. Just skip those that bother you. Remember, read the precautions given on the website. If the poses are difficult look at the possible modifications to help make them easier, but still have the effect needed. No one is expected to do any of these asana. Do not perform exercises without consulting your physician. You proceed with these at your own risk. Anjali Mudra (SalutationSeal) Padmasana (LotusPose) or Sukhasana (Easy Pose) Baddha Konasana(Bound Angle Pose) Knee to Chest Pose Apasana I do this pose every morning before getting out of bed to wake up my spine after that long immobility period. I used to get lots of lower back pain, but since doing this pose in the morning that doesn’t happen unless I do something to actively aggravate it. Ardha Shalabhasana (Half-Locust Pose) This is a really good video on performing the asana. However, I do not recommend holding your breath the entire time that you hold the pose. Raise the leg as you inhale, and breath normally while you hold, lower the leg on and exhale. Follow all other instructions as given, listen to the precautions, and always start with the left leg. More advanced poses Setu Bandha Sarvangasana(Bridge Pose) Salabhasana(Locust Pose) Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend) Grounding Techniques These are quick techniques to use when you can't use the meditation. Do the meditation in the other posts. Stomp you feet, first one and then the other. This wakes up the minor chakras in you feet and makes a great connection to the Earth. Shake and kick your leg to release the energy. Jog or walk this stimulates the sciatic nerve and energizes the lower body. Jump around on the ground. Eat something good for you. Take your shoe off and put your foot in direct contact with the earth. Getting in Touch with the Muladhara Bring More Earth Energy Since Muladhara corresponds with the earth element, activities which bring you in contact with the earth are good activities to help balance this chakra. Increase your contact with nature by gardening, or hiking in natural earth spaces. Dig in the dirt; make mud pies with your children or little siblings. Make something out of wood or clay. Have contact with nature at least once a day. Lessen the Earth Energy Eat less, sleep less, work less, do less. Play more, laugh more, move more. Stimulate some of the other energies in your life. Go swimming to simulate water. Sit in front of a fire and gaze at it to stimulate fire. Take a walk on a nice windy day to stimulate air. Stimulate Muladhara Sit in the lotus position and breathe deeply. Burn a scent that stimulates the Muladhara, for example patchouli, cedar wood or sandalwood. Close your eyes and meditate for a few minutes. Feel your connection with the earth beneath you. As you breathe in, draw up energy from the earth below through your feet chakras, and feel it flow up through your legs to your base chakra, stimulating it. Wear red, like a scarf, shirt or shoes. Calming Muladhara Stand holding a piece of rose quartz to Muladhara, at the base of your spine, burn marjoram essential oil for its calming effects. As you stand, meditate and visualize yourself surrounded by a cool pink glow, and feel the calming energy of the rose quartz permeating your Base chakra and balancing the energy. Wear blue, beige or other neutral color.
