Balancing Your Sacral Chakra with Essential Oil

Chakras Series - Part 2

Tameko Barnette
The sacral chakra is located at your lower belly about several inches above your root chakra, which is at the base of the spine. The sacral chakra helps us with our sexuality and creativity. In addition, this chakra governs our confidence in ourselves, which is essential to our well-being.

The sacral chakra is orange and when it is unbalanced we tend to feel a poor sense of self-worth. Our creative juices have a hard time flowing properly. Regardless of whether or not you're a professional writer, singer, etc., you have creative abilities. Every single person have some kind of creative ability. When our creativity is at a standstill that's a surefire sign that our sacral chakra may be unbalanced.

In addition to our creativity, if there is a lack of sex drive or lack of sensuality in any form, this is another sign of an unbalanced sacral chakra. Many people consider sexuality, sensuality, and creativity to be very sacred acts, feelings, and ways of life. Therefore, it doesn't surprise me that the very name of this particular chakra suggests sacredness.

Our ability to create doesn't begin and end with writing, singing, performing, or artistry. Our sexual organs which are governed by the sacral chakra is another way we create because there we create life.

If you've been experiencing any of the above mentioned signs of an unbalanced sacral chakra here is something you can do that includes essential oil. Grab a comfortable seat in a quiet spot and try the following suggestion.

First of all, visualize your sacral chakra as a nice bright orange 'wheel', which is what the word chakra means in Sanskrit. See it spinning steadily in clockwise motion. See it as already balanced and in harmony. While you are holding this vision in your mind's eye, take one drop of jasmine oil into the palm of your hand, and rub both hands together. Then, hold your hands about 2-3 inches from your face, and inhale the aroma of the oil into your whole being while holding the visualization given above.

You will know your sacral chakra is in balance when you feel confident, you feel comfortable in your own skin, and you will be able to feel pleasure without feeling an ounce of guilt. Quite often, we will feel as though we don't deserve to feel pleasure, when in fact, we do.

Many blessings to you on your journey!
