Chakras
You have seven chakras. Chakras are energy centers and can get blocked creating a negative effect on you. There are different methods to clearing and/or strengthening your chakras. What works for one person may not work for another. It also depends on each person and how blocked the chakra is to how long it will take for the effect of the method chosen.
One method is Crystals: Make sure they are cleansed and charged (see crystals page coming soon). Put them on or near the chakra. Tip for root chakra is to tape crystal to bottom of chair. You can also carry the crystals with you or wear them as jewelry.
Another method is Essential Oils: When using essential oils make sure they are pure and if you plan on using for topical make sure it states topical use. Some essential oils are for aromatherapy only which is what I prefer for clearing blocks. When you use essential oils place on or near the chakra. Note if you have pets- Some fragrances are not pet friendly so make sure you check before using.
