This project has been a real labour of love for me - from the initial concept and gathering the courage to share my ideas with people, through the research stage and producing my prototypes - it has brought me so much joy. Even at the times when that little voice in my head has made me question myself and my abilities it's been a learning experience as I've used the blends myself, said the affirmations and just breathed.
Through the development phase I knew that I wanted to keep things simple - the ingredients, the design and even how to use them. I want people to feel comfortable with using them too - you don't need to know how to meditate, you don't need to know one chakra from another, you just need to know how to breath.
I’ve been using essential oils in my massage work for years and just love them! I love that they’re so effective at relaxing muscles, reducing inflammation and taking away physical pain. But they’re also incredibly effective on an emotional level – the relaxing and soothing effect of lavender, the uplifting effect of orange and other citrus oils, the invigorating effect of peppermint. There’s absolutely no doubt in my mind that they are magical in so many ways!
When I started researching oils for using in my blends, one of the aspects I considered was the emotions attached to each chakra and looking at the oils that were recommended for those feelings. But the more I read the more obvious it became that oils worked on a whole other level – not just physically and emotionally but also energetically - making them an essential component of this project which is all based around "energy centres".
Below I have outlined the ingredients of each blend and included some simple affirmations you may like to use. I've used Jojoba and Fractionated Coconut Oils as carriers for the essential oils listed and each 10ml roller bottle has a crystal that corresponds to the chakra along with some Clear Quartz to amplify its properties.
If you'd like more information or would like to purchase an individual blend, or the full set, please email me directly at rochelle@realdunedin.com (I'm just in the process of upgrading my site for online ordering).
