CHAKRAS ARE THOUGHT TO PROVIDE SUBTLE ENERGY THAT HELPS US WORK AT OUR BEST LEVEL. EACH CHAKRA HAS 3 STATES OF ACTIVENESS.
In overactive and underactive state, there is a faulty flow of energy through the chakra, called Imbalanced or Blocked chakra.
Working with chakra energy highlights how deeply interconnected we are with everything around us. When our chakras are not functioning correctly the communication between them becomes blocked. These blockages can translate to the blockages we experience in our outer world.
To unblock chakras and restore balance, there are several chakra healing and cleansing techniques from a broad range of fields from energy healing.
Using essential oils are believed to be one of these practices as specific essential oils are associated with different chakras.
