Balanced chakras inside a body ensure enough transfer and storage of energies. But due to some or the other reason, not all our chakras are active at every given stage of time. And when they aren’t active is the primary reason why we fail to succeed in a particular task. So, we need something to help us balance the unbalanced chakra. One such thing that we can keep at our disposal while balancing our chakra is Aroma.
Different types of chakras have different characteristics and hence can be balanced in their specific way using different aromas.
Aromas are very influentially attached to human beings. Technically, aromas have their unique vibrational frequency that can be in tune with the chakra’s frequencies. So, if you choose the correct kind of essential oil, you can easily activate your Swadhisthana Chakra.
Aromas can be used by diffusing them in a particular essential oil or by combining them to make a specific anointment. This can be used to massage the skin preferably in the naval section where the sacral chakra is located. This will activate the second chakra. All you need to take care of is the amount of oil to apply.
Remember, only the correct dosage and dilution produce the correct result in minimal time. The recommended amount depends on where the oil is applied to the body. A patch test is usually suggested before using essential oils. If there is no irritation, then you may use the essential oil.
The Sacral (Swadhisthana) Chakra, influences creativity ranging from expressing oneself to the very art of problem solving. It is also responsible for producing a healthy sexual desire and expression. The aroma oils bring energy of pure love and relieves driving away sorrows as well as bringing peace. Essential oils help in healing any sort of trauma from abuse or times wherein you are suffering from a crisis. Above all, it assists you in fostering hope and guides you when in fear.

The amount of oil used is decisive to determine its efficacy. So, before you start mixing or preparing a blend of any essential oils, having the correct knowledge is very important. So, while mixing them realize the exact problems you are facing and then observe the complex changes that take place in your body, mind, and soul that balances your Swadhisthana chakra.
If there is any type of aroma or scent that you are particularly attracted to, you might need it for activating the Swadhisthana chakra. This is the same logic of inclination so do not disregard it. Instead, be equally responsive towards any kind of activity that you carry strong intuition towards. By doing so, not only do you speed up activating your chakra, but also gain lots of self-confidence.
Additionally, to get maximum benefits, you need a place to choose a place wherein resonates with Swadhisthana chakra. A calm place wherein you are close to flowing water is a perfect recommendation as Swadhisthana chakra is known to be naturally activated when you are near to water. So, choosing such a place for mixing essential oils is highly beneficial.
You can also experiment by using essential oils every day continuously for a week and determine which ones you like and dislike. Try a variety of oils in various combinations to discover which ones have the greatest benefits for you and keep track of how you felt and what you observed during and after the application. This allows you to choose which combination is ideal for you.
