Essential oil: The Anatomy of the chakras

By Carol Anne Asher

What are the Chakras?
The chakras are rotating vortices of subtle energy that are located in our etheric body and are part of our etheric body.

The chakras have dual aspects, lunar and solar. The aspect of the chakras in the front are considered to be magnetic and the aspect of the chakras in the back are considered to be radiatory. Therefore we can say that the front side of us is magnetic (feminine) and the back side is radiatory (masculine). The front absorbs and is more receptive and Yin and the back radiates out information and is more Yang.

Humans have 7 major chakras and 25 minor chakras. Each chakra is associated with a particular gland, emotions and thoughts.

Chakra ‘energy’ – is made up of Prana, as received by the Spleen chakra, information and light – other words for universal life force energy. Universal light force energy is another word for God’s Love. Light and Love are interchangeable as are light and consciousness, light and universal intelligence.

Gods’ Love and Light encompass Divine love, Divine intelligence, Divine power, Divine will, etc.

There are symbols, colours and sounds associated with every chakra. Just like the fact that each essential oil in my chakra kit has it’s own sacred geometry and color palette. For example, to the left is what sandalwood looks like… and by seeing it’s sacred geometry and it’s color palette you can imagine what this wonderful oil is doing for your being!

In Hinduism and Buddhism the chakras are symbolised as flowers. In our human undeveloped state the chakras are like flower buds waiting to be opened.

As we grow and expand our consciousness, more light is absorbed into the flower bud and assists it in it’s expansion, until the time comes, through the Grace of God, that we house so much Love and Light in our chakras that ‘we are in full bloom’, that is, our chakras are fully opened and we are in a state of enlightenment. This is the conscious or unconscious purpose of every human’s incarnation.

The chakras start in the etheric body and radiate out through all levels of our aura. When we take care of our aura we are also taking care of our chakras.

However, because each chakra is individual and governs particular glands in the body and specific aspects of our emotional and mental bodies, focusing on each chakra and understanding the particular nature of each chakra can make that aura care more effective and more powerful.

The use of essential oils and flower essences is a wonderful way to cleanse, open and bring balance to our chakras. These gifts from nature carry high vibrations of Love and Light, which help to elevate our consciousness and open our ‘flower petals’. Regular Chakra and Aura care will lighten your days, make you feel better, assist you in your souls expression and hasten your spiritual journey toward enlightenment.

The application of essential oils is a very gentle, powerful and wonderful tool for our health and enlightenment.
