The Chakras are a complex of energies coalesced into 7 centers along the spine. They are gateways for the flow of energy and life into our physical bodies. Each chakra corresponds to the refinement of energy representing integration on all levels. In balance, the chakras unite radiantly into full self-awareness.
The degree of openness and flow through our chakras determines our state of health and balance. Meditation and yoga seeks to purify, balance, and harmonize the chakra fields. Each center is integral to our energetic balance.
Essential Oils: Aligning with Plant Medicine
Botanicals have unique bioavailable properties, meaning our bodies recognize and accept them as nourishment. To use essential oils as a vehicle of transformation in the chakra energy centers is to harness millennia of ritual and ceremony and to utilize the specific properties of these plants, bringing balance to the entire human system, gross to esoteric.
