The 7 Chakras and Essential Oil Blends
Your body has seven main energy centers known as chakras. Each chakra represents a different area of the body and has its own chakras colors and meanings. Balancing these chakras is believed to promote overall well-being and harmony. One popular method for balancing the chakras is through the use of the SOQI Products as well as Chakra Essential Oils. Learn about the chakras colors and meanings as well the different essential oils that correspond to each chakra and how they can be used to promote balance and healing.
What is a Chakra
The term, Chakra, refers to the whirling centers of spiritual power or energy in the human body. There are 7 main
chakras or centers of spiritual energy in the body. These 7 chakras, which run along the spine, correspond to
various nerve centers and glands throughout the body. Many people believe if one or more of these energy centers
within the body are blocked, disease or illness can result. Individuals who are said to be in touch with their
body, mind and spirit, meditate and focus on keeping these chakras open and the spiritual energy flowing freely
throughout them. Keeping your chakras opened and balanced is part of energy healing, similar to crystal healing.
Each of the main seven chakras are also associated with a unique chakras colors and meanings. The color of the chakra is just as significant as its position. Colors are so significant that they are covered in a therapy all their own, known as Color Therapy. Color therapy is effective because each color has its own spectrum or vibration and are known to affect our mood and emotions as well impact our overall sense of well-being. It is no surprise that the Chakras colors and meanings correlate to the colors of the rainbow, and encompass the full electro magnetic spectrum of light. Colors as well as Chakras have a deep effect on our emotions and our health, whether we realize it or not.
Essential oils have also been used in conjunction with Chakras and Color Therapy. Essential oils used in this manner are used for their subtle emotional effects. In other words, the properties of the oil is relevant, however the INTENT in why you are using the oil is of greater importance. When incorporating essential oils with Chakras, it is important to look at the color, the chakra as well as the intent.

You can see how influential chakras colors and meanings can be. They tie into our emotions as well as our overall physical health which is one of the reasons I feel the Chi Machine is so beneficial because it balances amd opens up these energy centers in the body with its rhythmic movement. Remember, next time you see something and think, I really don’t like that color, maybe that is a hint to focus on that chakra and its energy vortex needing to be open and swirling. You may also want to wear a blue shirt next time you do a presentation, making sure to keep your communication open and to express yourself easily.
