“From the great spiral galaxies, thousands of light years across, to the trillions of atoms swirling in a grain of sand, the universe is composed of spinning wheels of energy. Flowers, trees trunks, planets, and people – each is made of tiny wheels turning inside, riding upon the great wheel of the Earth, spinning in its orbit through space. A fundamental building block of nature, the wheel is the circle of life flowing through all aspects of existence.

At the inner core of each one of us spin seven wheel-like energy centers called chakras. Swirling intersections of vital life forces, each chakra reflects an aspect of consciousness essential to our lives. Together the seven chakras form a profound formula for wholeness that integrates mind, body, and spirit. As a complete system, the chakras provide a powerful tool for both personal and planetary growth.”  ~ Excerpt from: Anodea Judith, Ph.D. Wheels of Life: a user’s guide to the chakra system

The main Chakra or energy centers are located along the midline of the body, from the pelvis to the top of the head, fanning out from both the front and back. The charkas feed into the meridians and thereby connect with all the organs. Just as there are specific emotions associated with each organ, there are specific emotions associated with each chakra.

Ideally, you would initially clear all the charkas on all levels by starting with the first, or root chakra, and progressing upward, ending with the eighth chakra located 8 inches above the top of the head.

Using YL Essential Oils to Clear and Harmonize Chakras

Begin by placing a drop of the associated essential oil. Western Red Cedar for the first or root chakra, into the palm of your non-dominant hand and rotate the drop clockwise three times to energetically activate it. 

Next, place the essential oil on the chakra point, in this case the public bone, the emotional points on the forehead, top of the head, spinal cord or release point.

Breathe in a deep clearing breath and exhale, releasing any held energies.

Smell the oil [by cupping the palms over the nose without touching the face], feel both sides of the emotion.

Maintaining Chakra Balance and Harmony

At the beginning of the day, clearing all the charkas with Young Living essential oils and toning is a great way to align your energy field or to recap and unwind before retiring at night.

For a pick-me-up, test each chakra and treat only the one or ones that are out of balance. The chakra most commonly out of balance is the eighth chakra, which affects the third or most outer energy field level.
