A Guide To Essential Oils For Chakras
Aromatherapy is a powerful practice for balancing and healing your life force energy. Below, learn how to use essential oils for chakras, and discover which essential oils can help open, activate, and balance your body’s energy centers.
Aromatherapy
When it comes to chakra healing, aromatherapy doesn’t get nearly as much hype as sound healing, color therapy, and other popular chakra healing practices. However, you shouldn’t underestimate this powerful practice. If used correctly, aromatherapy can be a profound resource for revitalizing your energy, soothing the spirit, and bringing harmony and tranquility to your body’s energy centers.
And even better–you may be able to start today with items you already have at home.
So what exactly is aromatherapy? Aromatherapy is the practice of using natural plant extracts for therapeutic healing. It’s a holistic healing treatment that promotes the total well-being of your mind, body, and spirit.
When we think of aromatherapy, we most often think of essential oils, especially as they’ve become more and more popular over the past decade. Essential oils are natural products extracted from the flower, bark, leaves, or fruit of a plant.
So how do you begin? The key to unlocking the power of aromatherapy–and any chakra healing practice–is intention.
Whenever you focus on healing your body’s energy centers, it’s important to have a clear and specific intention. For me, this means that before I begin, I’ll take a deep breath and state my intention either internally or aloud.
Here are a couple examples of intentions:
- I am opening and healing my heart chakra.
- I am activating my third eye chakra.
- I am promoting the free flow of energy within my body.
- I am showing love and compassion to my mind, body, and spirit.
Know that there is no wrong intention as long as it feels true to you. Keep your chosen intention in mind as you begin your practice, and hold onto it as you continue through your day.
If you want to learn more about opening, activating, and healing your body’s energy centers, be sure to check out my Ultimate Chakra Healing Bundle. The bundle comes with a Chakra Healing eBook, Chakra Healing Workbook, and 8-Week Chakra Healing Guide. (All items can be purchased individually as well!)
Below, you’ll find essential oils for each of the chakras. I also provide you with some different methods you can try out for using aromatherapy to open, activate, and heal your body’s energy centers.

When using essential oils, please read labels and packaging instructions. Dilute as instructed. Practice safe storage. And choose brands that are free of synthetic chemicals. If you have any questions or concerns, please talk to your healthcare professional.
How to Use Essential Oils for Chakras
In a Diffuser
Choose a location for your diffuser where it’ll be near you throughout the day. Use an essential oil or a blend of oils associated with the chakra you want to heal. What I love most about using a diffuser for chakra healing is that I can combine this with other chakra healing practices. For instance, I can journal, meditate, do a creative activity, or work with crystals while my diffuser is going.
Using an essential oil diffuser can be an especially powerful practice for the sacral chakra, which is associated with the element water, and the heart chakra, which is associated with the element air. However, all chakras can benefit from this practice, and using an essential oil diffuser can be a powerful way to bring peace and serenity to your energy within.
Personal Fragrance
If you’re out and about during the day, you may choose to use your essential oil as a personal fragrance in order to experience the healing aroma throughout the day.
First, choose an essential oil associated with the chakra you want to work with. Make sure that the essential oil you choose is safe to apply to the skin. (Some essential oils, such as “hot” oils, should not be applied to skin. Different people may have different reactions to essential oils depending on skin sensitivity and allergies. Always follow usage directions, and consult your healthcare professional if you have any questions.)
Once you’ve chosen an oil, you can apply it to your forehead, temples, neck, or chest. One option I love for this is using essential oil roll-on bottles, especially since most come pre-diluted (often with coconut oil) for safety. I’ve linked to some of my favorites at the bottom of this post!
Add a Drop to Chakra’s Associated Physical Location
If you want to heal your throat chakra, you might apply an essential oil to the throat and chest area. To open your third eye chakra, you can apply to your temple and forehead. And as your root chakra represents your foundation and connection to the earth, you could apply an essential oil for the root chakra to the soles of your feet. Just note that the same safety guidelines I wrote above apply here as well!
Add a Drop to Your Water
I know I’m starting to sound like a broken record here, but again, please follow all usage and safety instructions, and check to make sure your chosen essential oil is safe for internal use. When following proper safety precautions, ingesting a drop of your chosen essential oil (diluted in water or tea) can be a powerful way to transport the healing energy of the oil throughout the body.

Essential Oils For Manifesting Love, Money & Success
In this article, learn how you can use essential oils for manifestation, plus discover powerful essential oils for manifesting love, money, success, and more.

Essential Oils For Manifesting
When used correctly, essential oils can be a powerful addition to your manifesting practice. You can use essential oils in traditional ways, such as in a diffuser or worn topically (just make sure you’re using one that’s safe for your skin), or you can get a little creative in your manifesting practice by rubbing some oil on a dollar bill, anointing a candle with a specific oil, or using one of the other manifesting methods I’ve listed in the next section.
No matter what practice you use, the key is to always use your essential oils with intention; be clear and specific about exactly what you want to manifest, and visualize your desire in your mind’s eye, allowing yourself to feel all the positive emotions of having exactly what you want.
Below, I’ve listed essential oils and oil blends for manifesting your desires. I’ve divided these essential oils into three categories: essential oils for manifesting love, essential oils for manifesting money, and essential oils for manifesting success. Under each category, I provide links to essential oil blends that can help you manifest your specific desires. These blends come pre-made and are fully ready for you to start using to manifest your intentions. If you’d prefer to use the essential oils you already have, I also provide lists under each category of single oils you can use to either make your own blends or use individually.
You can skip to the category you want to learn more about using these links:
- Essential Oils For Manifesting Love
- Essential Oils For Manifesting Money
- Essential Oils For Manifesting Success
When using essential oils, please read labels and packaging instructions. Dilute as instructed. Practice safe storage. And choose brands that are free of synthetic chemicals. If you have any questions or concerns, please talk to a certified essential oils practitioner or to your healthcare professional.
How To Use Essential Oils For Manifesting
Below, you’ll find a list of ways you can use essential oils for manifesting love, money, success, and more. These practices are specifically geared toward the Art of the Root oil blends that you’ll find below. For single essential oils such as Clary Sage, Wild Orange, and others, you can still do these practices; just make sure to do so with very clear intention. You can also use them in your diffuser, wear your oils, or use them as you normally would, saying your intention aloud (i.e. being clear about what you want to manifest) when you begin your practice.
Dab Oil Onto Money, Photos & More
Think about what you want to manifest. What items do you associate with this desire? For instance, if you want to manifest financial wealth, you might associate this with physical cash, your wallet or purse, or bank receipts. To manifest success for your business, you may consider using business cards or a copy of your sales permit. Choose an item you associate with what you want to manifest and rub some oil onto this item. As you use the oil, say your intention out loud, being clear and specific.
Use With Scripting
This is one of my favorite manifestation tricks to amplify your intentions. If you have a scripting practice, you can rub a little bit of manifesting oil on your script for some extra manifesting magic. This is especially powerful when paired with the pillow method, which you can learn more about here. You also don’t have to limit this to just scripting. You can use manifesting oil with handwritten letters, the 55×5 manifestation method, and other manifestation journaling practices. (And don’t forget to apply a dab of manifesting oil to your vision board!)
Do you want to fully immerse yourself in the positive vibrations of all your dreams and desires? Check out 30 Perfect Days, a digital manifestation journal available in my online shop! Each day, you’ll receive a unique scripting prompt that will help you to live as if you already have your dreams and desires right now. Additionally, you’ll find space for daily gratitude, acknowledging the miracles that appear in your everyday world, uplifting affirmations, and more. Comes with editable text fields so you can choose to either type directly into the journal or print and hand write! Click here to learn more!
Wear On Your Body
If it’s safe to do so, you can wear the manifestation oil on your body daily, or save it for important moments like job interviews, first dates, and business meetings. If you’re about to sign important documents, you can rub some on your hands (or the pen, if you don’t want to rub it on your hands). And if you’d rather not wear it directly, you can also anoint your jewelry with a drop of oil before you leave the house.
Anoint Candles With Oil
For a dedicated manifestation ritual, choose a candle with a color that directly correlates with what you want to manifest. For instance, a pink candle is correlated with romance and green is tied to money. (Learn more about candle colors for manifestation here.) It’s best to use a brand new candle that’s specifically chosen for this purpose. Rub the oil at the top of the candle, pulling upward, as you visualize your desires. You might also use a toothpick to carve your intention on the side of the candle. (Be clear, specific, and concise.)
If you’re interested in purchasing candles specifically formulated with herbs and essential oils to help you manifest your desires, I highly recommend checking out Art of the Root’s manifestation candles, which include the Money Drawing candle, the Love and Attraction candle, the Crown of Success candle, and more.
