This article explores chakra practices according to metaphysical traditions.
While there are believed to be hundreds of chakras and auras, aura chakra wellness focuses on 7 main chakras. When exploring your aura, practitioners learn that chakras begin at the spine's base (Root Chakra at the coccyx) and travel upward to the crown of the head. The seven chakras are:
- Crown Chakra
- Third Eye Chakra
- Throat Chakra
- Heart Chakra
- Solar Plexus Chakra
- Sacral Chakra
- Root Chakra
Chakra Wellness Practices
Spiritual traditions—from Indian Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta to Taoism, Zen Buddhism, and Sufi mysticism—seek balance between wellness, earth, body, spirit, grounding, and universality. Here are traditional chakra energy practices:
Chakra Meditation
This practice works on two levels:
- Cause level – Addressing root causes helps release upset and distress. Chakra meditation brings mind and body to complete awareness.
- Effect level – Meditation practices ease feelings of separation, supporting wholeness and connection. Examples include White Light Chakra Meditation, Inner Vision Meditation, and The Wellbeing Boat
If you're new to Chakra Meditation, guided meditations offer an excellent starting point—helping you focus while following along.
Affirmations
Affirmations are powerful tools in chakra wellness work. These positive statements support and strengthen your energetic being. You can focus on different aspects sequentially.
Color Vibration Work
Each color carries unique vibrations. Experiencing these vibrations may shift emotional-energetic states. Surrounding yourself with colors—in your home, clothing, and diet—helps rebalance chakras according to traditional beliefs.
The Power of Music
According to energy traditions, each chakra resonates with different sound frequencies. Popular approaches include isochronic chakra suites—combining Solfeggio frequencies with Tibetan singing bowls to create chakra-balancing soundscapes.
Professional Energy Practitioners
Experienced practitioners offer specialized chakra wellness services. They understand chakra meanings and explore an individual's chakra system to identify potential imbalances. After a thorough session, they may recommend practices to support your chakra wellness.
Chakra Stones
Chakra stones (also called wellness crystals) carry specific vibrations and colors. Each chakra corresponds to a particular color, and practitioners use matching colored stones for chakra work. Some stones like clear quartz can be used with multiple chakras.
Yoga
When chakra energy feels stuck, controlled movement releases prana (life force). Yoga postures are excellent for releasing stagnant energy, catalyzing fresh, vital energy flow through postures and breath.
Essential Oils for Chakra Work
Essential oils play a role in chakra wellness practices. They're often used with massage and aromatherapy. Here are oils traditionally associated with different chakras:
- 1st Chakra: Frankincense, Angelica, and Patchouli
- 2nd Chakra: Rosemary, Orange, Juniper, Neola, and Clove
- 3rd Chakra: Marjoram, Lemon, Rosemary, Yarrow, and Peppermint
- 4th Chakra: Rose, Melissa, Basil and Rosewood
- 5th Chakra: Blue Chamomile, Lemongrass, and Sage
- 6th Chakra: Lavender, Clary sage, Elemi, and Spruce
- 7th Chakra: Sandalwood, Geranium, Gotu Kola, and Myrrh
All of these chakra energy wellness methods are conducted by many people. You can use them individually or in combination based on which chakra needs wellness and the techniques you are using.
