The influence of aromatic plant essential oils on the body, mind and spirit in the practice of aromatherapy can be adjusted to promote balanced functioning of the chakras.
"Chakra," the Sanskrit word for "wheel," refers to seven site-specific concentrations of energy emanating from the body.
Each of the chakra centers has its own expression of associated physical, emotional, and spiritual energy that is connected and aligned with all others.
When one or more of the chakras over- or under-expresses its associated energy, it manifests itself as an imbalance in the body, mind, and spirit.
When all chakras are balanced in their expression, well-being is manifested physically, mentally and spiritually. A combination of activating and calming oils will have an overall balancing and supporting benefit for the chakras.
