Unlock Your Inner Wisdom: Awakening the Chakras with Essential Oils

 Balance your mind, body and spirit by harnessing the healing vibrations of plants - open your chakras with custom aromatherapy.

For thousands of years, spiritual guides and yoga gurus have studied the human energy body known as the chakra system. In Sanskrit, chakra translates to "wheel" - spinning vortices of energy that correspond to nerve clusters throughout the body.

According to ancient Indian philosophy, optimal health and enlightenment stem from unblocked, aligned chakras. But the stresses of modern life can knock our energy levels out of balance. Fortunately, essential oils offer a fast-acting, aromatic way to open, heal, and awaken your chakras.

Keep reading to learn how high-vibrational essential oils can align your chakras, accelerate your spiritual growth, and unlock your innate wisdom.


What Are the 7 Chakras?

The main chakra system consists of seven primary energy hubs lined from the base of the spine to the crown of the head:


the 7 Chakras


  1. Root Chakra: Muladhara - Base of the spine, coccyx
  2. Sacral Chakra: Svadhisthana - Below the navel, pelvis
  3. Solar Plexus Chakra: Manipura - Upper abdomen, stomach area
  4. Heart Chakra: Anahata - Center of chest
  5. Throat Chakra: Vishuddha - Throat and neck
  6. Third Eye Chakra: Ajna - Forehead, pineal gland
  7. Crown Chakra: Sahasrara - Top of the head

Each chakra governs specific life forces and organs. When they become blocked, it can manifest in emotional or physical ailments. Aligned chakras allow vital energy, or prana, to flow freely through your system.

How to Use Essential Oils for Your Chakras

Essential Oils for Your Chakras


There are several methods for using aromatherapy to awaken your chakras:

  • Chakra meditation - Apply a drop of oil to each chakra point from root to crown. Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and take deep breaths as you focus your attention on each energetic center. Notice the shift as the oils stimulate each vortex of energy.
  • Full body massage - Blend appropriate dilutions of your chosen oils into a carrier oil like coconut or jojoba. Slowly massage the scented oil into each corresponding chakra zone while visualizing the area spinning with vitality.
  • Diffusion - Add your chakra oils to an essential oil diffuser. Inhale the fragrant molecules as you meditate or move through poses. Aromatherapy enhances the effects.
  • Skin application - Rub diluted oils into the skin over each chakra point. Try wrist pulse points, behind the ears, soles of feet, or added to lotions.
  • Baths - Add a few drops of synergistic essential oils to a warm bath and soak. Visualize the scented water dissolving blockages as it washes over the chakra regions. Rinse off excessive oil after.

Sample Chakra Massage Oil Recipes:

Root Chakra: 2 drops vetiver, 3 drops cedarwood, 8 mL carrier oil

Sacral Chakra: 2 drops ylang ylang, 3 drops sweet orange, 8 mL carrier oil

Solar Plexus: 3 drops grapefruit, 2 drops rosemary, 8 mL carrier oil

Heart Chakra: 3 drops jasmine, 2 drops bergamot, 8 mL carrier oil

Throat Chakra: 1 drop peppermint, 2 drops frankincense, 8 mL carrier oil

Tips for Safely Unblocking Your Chakras

  • Always use 100% pure essential oils from reputable sellers. Adulterated oils lack the vibrational energies needed for chakra work.
  • Properly dilute oils with a carrier oil before applying to skin. Oils can irritate sensitive areas if used undiluted.
  • Take care when using intense oils like cinnamon, clove, oregano on sensitive areas.
  • Focus on one chakra at a time when learning. It takes practice and patience.
  • Stay hydrated and get adequate rest to avoid fatigue. Clear negative energy from your space.
  • Note oil reactions. Discontinue use if any irritation occurs. Keep oils away from eyes and mucous membranes.
  • Perform grounding techniques like meditation, exercise and spending time in nature to maintain balance.
  • Seek advice from a licensed aromatherapist, reiki practitioner, or spiritual healer for guidance if needed.
