Create a Healing Space
Having a designated space in your home is an excellent way to maintain your energy's balance in between your regularly scheduled chakra healing sessions. Dedicating an entire room is ideal but if it's not possible to have a separate room, there are still many things you can do to create a temporary healing space in your home. Gather the basics: some of your favorite pillows or a comfy chair, candles, a himalayan salt lamp, a little aromatherapy, your favorite meditation music, and your all set!

IN ESSENCE...
- The power of natural scents and fragrances have long been accepted in the field of aromatherapy. The soothing aromas of certain essential oils can help ground and balance one's mental state and offer relief from stress or negative experiences.
- Aromatherapy techniques for relaxation include massage, inhalation, and establishing bathing self-care rituals.
- An aromatherapy massage makes use of the mind-body connection to impart a deep sense of peace and relaxation in the body, which in turn can help calm down a restless mind.
- The inhalation of essential oils with anxiolytic or sedative properties can help with stress or anxiety-related issues such as difficulty falling asleep. They can also be used to support prayer and meditative practices such as mindfulness.
- An aromatherapy bath uses scented oil blends to create a sacred personal space that helps the mind and body renew and recover from stress, worry, and fatigue.
Cleanse Your Healing Space
Whether it's permanent or temporary, your room needs to be energetically cleansed, so having a ritual before and after you use your space, is helpful. This ritual will work best when you are in a balanced mental, emotional and physical state. Being quiet and mindful as you enter and leave your sacred space is also important. You can draw from your own belief system or use traditional methods when clearing and cleansing your space.
Smudging is a traditional practice that utilizes the four elements. Bringing all of nature's elements into your healing space will enhance the room's energy.
- Earth - Smudge Stick
- Air - Feather
- Fire - Smoke
- Water - Shell
How to Smudge a Room - Place a sage stick in the shell and light one end until a small flame ignites, then gently blow out the flame creating a smolder of smoke. Hold the shell in one hand and feather in the other, begin to walk the perimeter of your room, keeping close to the wall, and waft the smoke in an upwards motion towards the ceiling. Pay special attention to the corners of the room where energy has a habit of stagnating.
TIPS: You do not need a lot of smoke to clear a space. If you find that your sage stick keeps doubting, it maybe due to the dense energy in the room, needing clearing.

Selecting Meditation Music
It's a good idea to create a go-to playlist for your healing room. Choose meditation or instrumental music that is calming and non-distracting to your mental state of being. There are a wide variety of styles to choose from depending on your taste. Some examples include, nature sounds, native flute, deep meditation, angelic melodies, cathedral, healing frequencies, and chanting. You may want to avoid music with lyrics unless it's guided meditation practice.
Balance Your Chakras
Wearing gemstone bracelets is an easy and effective way for aiding and maintaining a balanced energy. Whether you are at home, work or at the mall shopping, you will be exposed to multiple energy fields within any given day so being mindful to incorporate natural ways to maintain your well-being energetically, is important. Ask your healing practitioner to suggest a stone based on your current energy or select a chakra-specific bracelet for known unsettledness.
Self Care
Choose to participate in healthy self care activities on a daily basis. Make it a morning ritual to have a glass of distilled water and freshly squeezed orange juice before drinking coffee, do a 5 minute basic yoga routine, and take a 20 minute walk in your neighbourhood. Eat mindfully throughout your day, drink herbal teas and choose one ingredient items over processed foods. In the evening, dim the lighting in your home, enjoy a lavender bath, and spend some time to read before bedtime. A healthy body will create a healthy mind and a healthy mind will ignite a life worth living.
Self Love
The key ingredient to a meaningful purposeful life is self love. If you are experiencing mental and/or emotional unsettledness, you are limiting your full potential. The day you selflessly choose to make yourself number one in your life is the day when your life can begin to evolve. Living a life with unsettledness is not necessary, choosing to love yourself purely, IS. Learn to heal the natural way, through understanding your energetic nature.
