Essential Oils that relate to the Base Chakra
Since the base chakra is our grounding energy center any essential oil that is a grounding oil would be associated with the
base chakra. Any essential oils that are woodsy are grounding and stabilizing. Grounding does not keep you
earthbound in any way but it keeps you grounded. I am sure you know of some individuals or you could also be at times
not connected at times to the earth plane or to spacey feeling you would want to ground your energies. You still will have
your connection with your spiritual side, but grounding keeps you more stabilized and focused.
Some of the essential oils to use for that are sandalwood, cedar wood, frankincense, myrrh, patchouli, vetiver and
anything with wood in its name or comes from wood or resin.
How can you use these essential oils? First thing to know is never put a pure essential oil directly on the skin. This can be
very toxic or can be harmful for you. There are only two essential oils that can go directly on the skin and they are
lavender and tea tree oil. Otherwise all others must be used with some type of carrier base. Meaning an oil, lotion, cream
or any other solid that it will not separate with. The rule of thumb is for every one ounce of a carrier you can add up to 10
- 12 drops of essential oils. You can mix your own essential oil blends. Please always read the manufactures information
on the oils also. If you are using some essential oils like cinnamon or black pepper you would not want to use that many of
drops. Because it can burn your skin. Also some essential oils if used on the skin or inhaled are not good for all. If you
have high blood pressure, pregnant, epilepsy or other physical impairments you would want to read the information about
the essential oil. Some oils can even make you more sensitive to the sun and burn very fast if you put on your skin. These
would be the citrus oils are very photo sensitive.
So now that we got that out of the way. Now how can you use these oils. You can mix them in a blend of your choice
with a carrier. Then use it in healing work. If you do hands on healing work you can place a few drops of the mixture on
your hands and rub them together and then do the hands on healing. If you do Reiki you should know that any other
tool that you add into the healing will amplify the tool by the Reiki energy. You could also rub the essential oil blend into
the chakra - for the base you can place it on the gluts or leg area. Also you can use the essential oils directly by placing it
on a tissue and putting it on you; like in your pocket or even sniffing it from time to time. Also placing the tissue with the
drop of essential oil on top of your chakra and meditating or doing healing work that way. You only need a drop to do it.
A room diffuser or oil burner also works. Now days you can purchase them at the dollar stores. These are the ones
that you use a tea light and above is either glass or ceramic and place the oil (about 5 drops and fill with water). Make
sure never leave a flame unattended.
