Re-Energize With Essential Oils

RE-ENERGIZE WITH ESSENTIAL OILS

By Maryna Dager

Have you been feeling mentally, emotionally, or physically drained? Here at Hippocrates we learn to fill our everyday life with good vibrations and practice a positive optimistic attitude. Organic food, exercising, yoga, qigong and meditation help us to stay upbeat, strong and full of high frequency energies. Even though many people enjoy the benefits of this lifestyle, from time to time we all can be brought down by stress. Any negative experience can cause loss of energy balance and make us vulnerable to everyday pressure. Practicing meditation and balancing your charkas can alleviate the stress and restore the balance. Aromatherapy can bring your meditation practice to a higher, more intense level where you can listen to your inner self and bring back the inner harmony. Even if you do not practice meditation you can apply essential oils on your skin and activate your body energy centers (chakras) with essential oils. Inhaling the oils or adding them to bath are also efficient ways of using the oils.

Hippocrates has carefully selected for you 7 essential oils for strengthening your energy. To learn how to re-energize with essential oils keep reading!

Root chakra, or base chakra is boosted by Patchouli oil and associated with full acceptance of life on earth, survival, power to achieve goals, vitality, grounding, satisfaction, material security, stability, primal trust and courage. A dreamy person may become more grounded through healing this chakra, someone who feels weak, lost and powerless may feel more connected to vigor of life. It is important to meditate on the ground while working on this chakra. Rub a few drops of Patchouli oil into your feet before meditation to restore the balance.

Navel chakra, or sacral chakra relates to primal feelings, sexuality, desire, sensuality, procreation, enthusiasm, relationships, union with nature, openness to others and personal creativity. If you feel you do not enjoy life or your creativity is in stagnation you may need to correct energy imbalance in this chakra. We recommend to put a few drops of sensual Sandalwood to lower abdomen where the charka is located.[divider type="blank-spacer" position="hr-circle-left" size="padding-medium" /]

Solar plexus chakra is bolstered by purifying Lemon oil.

Heart chakra represents unconditional love, forgiveness, compassion, understanding, warmth, sharing, sincerity, devotion, selflessness and love of God or spiritual and divine love. You will know that your heart chakra needs strengthening when you notice that do not allow yourself to open up to others for the fear of being rejected or hurt or when your relationships become clingy and needy. To strengthen weak heart chakra, use Bergamot oil at the center of your chest. It will activate this energy center and boost energy circulation. [divider type="blank-spacer" position="hr-circle-left" size="padding-medium" /]
