What are the most commonly used essential oils for balancing and healing the solar plexus chakra? And what are their properties and how do they help balance and heal the third chakra?
Solar Plexus chakra essential oils can be used for getting in touch with your emotions and for balancing the third chakra.
Located between the navel and the solar plexus, the solar plexus chakra is associated with the will and identity, the perception of who we are.
On the physical level, the solar plexus chakra is associated with the digestive system, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder.
On the emotional level, solar plexus chakra imbalances may manifest as selfishness, stubbornness, domination, and desire for power.
On the mental level, someone with a solar plexus chakra imbalance may display cynicism, sarcasm, competitiveness.
On the spiritual level, solar plexus chakra issues may show up as feelings of worthlessness, fear of death, or being stuck in the ego/person/identity.
Essential oils embody the frequencies and healing properties of plants. These frequencies and properties work on all levels of being.
Choosing essential oils is best done in consultation with a qualified aromatherapy practitioner. Working with the seven chakras and their imbalances is complex as everything is interconnected.
