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. Many also incorporate crystals for healing their chakras.
