plant therapy chakra line essential oil

Well — we did it! We climbed up the entire chakra ladder and got to the top! This week we have traveled from the bottom of our spine to the top of our head, discovering how to use aromatherapy to help heal each of these energy centers . The powerful support they provide to our spirit gives us a greater sense of balance, from the inside out.

chakra set of plant therapy oils Today we come to the 7th chakra – the crown chakra. Like a crown, the location of this chakra sits atop the head and — unlike a crown! — extends infinitely upward and outward. It connects us to a higher state of consciousness and self-knowledge, so that we may reach our higher self. Our Higher Connection blend is designed to support this chakra with its warm, shimmering, heady scent, made up of the essential oils of Orange Blood, Frankincense Carteri CO2, Petitgrain, and Neroli.

In case you need any more reason to try out the set, check out our post on all the things you can do with Jojoba oil, and why you need it!

Your Crown Chakra

Of all the chakras, the crown chakra is the most difficult to explain. Think of this chakra as pure, conscious energy that connects you to the energy of the entire universe. If you can image the push and pull of two magnets, that invisible but clearly powerful tension, you can image your own conscious energy. Like a seed bursting open and stretching out toward the sun, our energy reaches upward to allow higher wisdom to flow downward, nourishing our spiritual growth. The crown chakra opens our consciousness to higher states, beyond our own personal preoccupations. When we are able to shed ourselves of material fixations and our sense of ego, we can be filled with serenity and peace about life and our relationship to the universal energy that connects all of existence .

What happens when your crown chakra is out of balance?

The crown chakra is associated with the brain and the entire nervous system . Because of this, blockage in this chakra can result in very subtle, systematic issues. Depression, mental fog, chronic fatigue, struggling to learn new concepts, and sleep disorders may present themselves. You may have feelings of living inside your own head and being detached from the world around you. When we are disconnected at this chakra, we can experience false illusions and attachments, which can leave us feeling empty and unsatisfied inside .

Balancing your crown chakra:

Meditation is a powerful tool when healing the crown chakra. Immersion in the energy of the 7th chakra helps to transcend from living in the ordinary to a sense of the extraordinary . Balance your meditation with living a life you love so you can remain rooted in your reality while also connecting to the cosmic energy above . As we realize the interconnected nature of everything, we can begin to live with a deeper sense of gratitude . Work on balancing the energy of the other chakras in order to keep the crown chakra healthy .

Higher Connection supports your crown chakra by gently encouraging strength in our spiritual growth to greater love and deeper purpose.

To use this blend, you can add to a personal inhaler or diffuser. Putting a drop or two on a tissue and wafting it away from your nose is another fantastic way to enjoy the benefits of this blend. To apply this amazing aroma topically, dilute Higher Connection to 1% in your favorite carrier oil. You can anoint the area of your crown chakra, your head, by massaging this intentionally in a clockwise direction.

Try this DIY Pillow Spritz using Higher Connection to enjoy this divine aroma near the top of your head. Healing the crown chakra will invite in pure, radiant, and joyful energy, allowing connection with greater self-knowledge and our higher selves.
