Chakra Balancing
with Essential Oils
Chakras are something I’ve come back to again and again over the years. Quietly powerful and incredibly intuitive, they’ve long been understood as energy centres within the body, each one influencing different parts of our physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.
This concept dates back thousands of years to ancient Indian traditions, where the chakra system was used to help guide energy flow, support healing, and bring the body into balance. The chakra system describes seven primary points that run from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, each associated with different qualities, emotions, and elements. When in balance, these centres help us feel grounded, open, connected, and in flow. But just like anything in life, they can be thrown off by stress, emotional strain, or everyday challenges. That’s where essential oils come in, acting as gentle tools to support these centres and help restore harmony.
Our Chakra Essential Oil Blends were created as a gentle way to support energetic alignment, with natural plant oils that reflect the qualities of each chakra. Whether you’re drawn to one in particular or exploring all eight (including the often-overlooked 8th chakra), each blend has been crafted with care and intention, combining traditional plant wisdom with the energetic purpose of that centre.
Here’s a little guide to each one:
🔴 Chakra 1 - Root Chakra
Location: Base of the spine
Colour: Red
Element: Earth
The Root Chakra governs our sense of safety, security, and connection to the physical world. It’s where we ground ourselves, emotionally, energetically, and practically. When this chakra is balanced, we feel stable, resilient, and rooted in our body.
Use this blend when feeling scattered, anxious, or disconnected, especially during times of change.

🟠 Chakra 2 - Sacral Chakra
Location: Just below the navel

🟢 Chakra 4 - Heart Chakra

🔵 Chakra 5 - Throat Chakra

Sometimes known as the seat of the soul, the 8th chakra connects us to the higher self, the part of us that holds wisdom beyond the mind and heart. It’s about soul alignment, spiritual expansion, and remembering our purpose.
Use when working with deep transformation, calling in clarity, or simply reconnecting to yourself.
Essential Oils: Elemi, Neroli, Frankincense, Angelica Root, Lavender Mont Blanc
If you’d like to work all eight blends, we’ve also created a Chakra Essential Oil Pack - a set of all 8 blends in 5ml sizes, bundled together at a lower price than purchasing individually. A lovely way to explore each one and see which resonates most.
