phase 1: root camp

(root chakra)
Welcome to Root Camp, the first stage of your Scents of
Balance chakra balancing journey! Balance begins with
deep roots forming a strong, consciousness-connecting
foundation.
The organic, earthy and stabilizing scent of vetiver root is
the perfect oil to facilitate a balance-inspiring connection to
the root chakra energy center. It will give you firm footing for
your entire journey to come as you connect with each
chakra in turn.

Create healthy, balanced room for your sensual self to

SACRAL SPACE WITH
KRISTEN HEDGES
It's easy to be washed away and swallowed by

them outright, they tend to settle, stagnant, in the
sacral chakra the vibrant, orange energy center of
passion, relationships, base emotions and letting go.

phase 3: flex your plexus

(solar plexus chakra)
The solar plexus chakra is associated with your core. A
strong, flexible core is the fulcrum that all balance is pinned
upon. It is important to cultivate physical strength and
consciousness (awareness of the solar plexus) in your core.
A body and room mist of strengthening, earth - and sky connecting cedarwood will support your solar
plexus-balancing endeavors.

phase 4: harmony in a heartbeat

(heart chakra)
The heart beats the rhythm to your life's song. Faster and
louder when you are excited, slower and softer when you
are calm. The heart chakra is the fulcrum point of balance
and radiating energy at the center of all of the other
chakras, and it is here where we sense balance (or imbalance) most acutely. Sweet marjoram supports a balanced
heart consciousness with it's musky earthiness that pulls
flights of fancy inward, and with it's herbal sweetness that
lifts depressed thinking.

phase 5: speak easy

(throat chakra)
Shy people are acutely aware of their voice and may fumble
to express themselves, while brazen people make sure
everyone hears them. The person who speaks with honest
words that everyone stops to listen to usually has a
balanced throat chakra. The apple-like, floral sweetness of
Roman chamomile inspires a balanced throat chakra. This
balance manifests speech and expression that fruits and
blooms freely. It fosters a pleasant and musical voice. It is a
perfect expression of emotion, intelligence and meaning.

in all departments of life.

phase 6: third eye not blind

(third eye chakra)
The third eye chakra sees with the mind's eye. In order to
achieve balance in all of the chakras it is essential to open
the third eye. This allows you to see and recognize where
the imbalances lie and what is causing them in each case.
The third eye is an impartial judge that holds the scales of
balance. The resinous, foresty-fresh scent of juniper berry
inspires the fruition of balanced third eye vision.

phase 7: crowning achievement

(crown chakra)
The "transcendence" associated with the crown chakra is a
state of being liberated from the causes of imbalance
associated with the other chakras. Experiencing this
liberation isn't a separation from the energies of the other
chakras but a fusion and connection with them that allows
you to transcend the causes of imbalance in your life. Oil of
frankincense epitomizes transcendent power wrought from
the all-encompassing energy of all the chakras in balance.
