We will be exploring how to balance energy flow in our bodies with the assistance of Essential Oils. How can we embolden our root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, first eye, and crown charkas in a way that would allow us to experience ease within our current situations and elevate the quality of our life altogether? We know that chakras are energy centers that are spinning like a wheel. They move energy around as they spin and bring life force into every part of us. We have many chakras, each cell and every molecule is a chakra and each atom and every particle is a chakra.

I remember my mom often talking to her orchids, putting fresh aloe vera gel on the tips of my hair, and my sister Maria rubbing coconut oil on my scalp while we watched television. It was not until after Maria transitioned into the non-physical that I deepened my study of Essential Oils. At the peak of her brief and brutal love affair with cancer, right after the doctors said her body could no longer take chemotherapy and before hospice care, my family was just desperate to give Maria any kind of relief so we purchased all sorts of Essential Oils (and crystals) from the health food stores in her neighborhood. I knew very little about the oils then so I simply bought anything associated with the liver and pancreas, and everything that had yellow packaging to connect with her solar plexus chakra. My mom would anoint Maria’s head with oils, my brothers would take turns massaging her hands and feet, and I would draw hearts around her body using the Lemon and Helichrysum roll-on Essential Oil stick. For a little while, that was enough to bring her temporary relief and we were extremely grateful. She would inhale the aroma and it would encourage her to breathe in a little deeper because she loved the scent so much. She would inhale the aroma and ask me about what was inside the bottle and how to pronounce “Helichrysum.” She would inhale the aroma and it would distract her from the pain and all the tubes sticking out of her body. She would inhale the aroma and smile, say thank you, and request for more hearts. These moments when she would be present were priceless to and we would just stitch those moments along for however long or short they lasted. The grief I felt after Maria crossed over was unbearable and it was also the Essential Oils that helped pull me through it. When the experience with the illness and the physical loss was better integrated into my life, I immersed myself in learning more about Essential Oils.
