You’re feeling tried, sluggish, foggy headed.  It’s been going on for a while and it feels like it just gets worse.  Some days you feel like you can barely get out of bed and other days you feel like you can’t get your head out of the clouds.  At times you’re over emotional and other times overly defensive and usually you can’t pinpoint why you feel how you do.  You need a chakra cleanse.  Pronto!

There are lots of ways to chakra work but I’m going to share with you a cleansing technique that is so easy there are no excuses NOT to do it.

This process is a take on salt baths, which are one of the best ways to help clear your energy. It’s simple and practical and it works wonders.  Here we’ll be using a homemade salt scrub to unblock the chakras, clear the energy, and bring things back into balance.

 

Why It Works

Salt is one of the purest elements in the earth and it’s believed that no negative energy can stick to it.  When it comes in contact with negative vibrations it neutralizes them.  If we use it on our body, especially with intention, it helps us bring our energy field to a reset point, clearing and removing blocks.

 

Make A Scrub

Making a salt scrub for your chakras is easy.  You’ll need 5 things:

• 1 cup natural sea salt {not iodized or table salt because they are processed}
• 1/2 cup oil – I recommend grapeseed or almond oil
• 10 drops essential lavender oil
• 5 drops essential sage oil
• an air tight jar to store it in

Use a large bowl to mix this up because it can get messy!

Start with a 1/2 cup of the salt and put it in the bowl.  Add all the oil, and your essential oils.
Gently stir until blended.
Slowly add the rest of the salt, mixing as you go, until all the salt is added and everything is well mixed.
Store in your air tight container.

When you go to use your scrub the oil will separate from the salt so you’ll need to shake or mix it up with your fingers.

 

When To Scrub

Use your scrub as often as you need to – any time you’re feeling the effect of negative energy or chakra blocks.  If you’re not sure when to use it, a guidelines is to start with using it as part of a Full Moon bath at each moon or use it once a week during stressful times.

 

How To Scrub

To use your scrub mix it all up in the container and scoop a handful out and hold in one hand.  With the other hand you’ll grab a little and you’re going to scrub in a counterclockwise direction over the chakras.  As you do this, visualize the scrub clearing out any dark spots or heavy energy.  See each chakra as bright, clear, and vibrant.  Hold the intention as you do this to simply scrub away any blocks.

As you scrub use these little mantras to help balance the energies again.

• Root Charka – I Am
• Sacral Chakra – I Do
• Solar Plexus – I Feel
• Heart Chakra – I Love
• Throat Chakra – I Speak
• Third Eye – I See
• Crown Charka – I Understand

Once you’re done scrubbing leave the salts on your body for 1 minute, and during that time go over each charka feeling and visualizing how they are clearing and balancing.  See a golden white light above you {this is divine light filtering through your 8th charka, known as the Soul Star or in some shamanic traditions as the Wiracocha}. Vizualize and feel this light coming through your crown chakra and down through each chakra brightening them up and regulating their motion.  Once the light meets the root chakra and it fills it with light, feel your roots taking hold in the ground.

Rinse the salt scrub off and come out of the shower and dry off.  You can air dry, lying down in meditation if you are able.
There’s no reason for you to not do this when you’re feeling like your energy is off.  It’s simple, it’s quick, and it’s something you can either do on it’s own in a ritual setting of it’s own, or you can even make it part of your shower for that day.

Keep your energy balanced and clear but when it feel kind of off, hit the showers!  😀
