Chakras are Energy centres in the body that can help guide our emotional, mental and physical well-being. When they’re in balance, you may feel clear and Energised, but when they’re out of alignment, it’s easy to feel “off” without being able to pinpoint exactly why.
Here’s a guide to each chakra and tips to help you keep them balanced.
Root Chakra
Location: Base of the spine
Colour: Red
Focus: Grounding and stability
The Root Chakra is all about feeling grounded and stable. If it’s unbalanced, you may feel stuck, overly tired or a sense of expending a shit load of Energy getting nowhere! A scattered Root Chakra can also lead to dropping things or difficulty finishing tasks.
How to Balance:
Spend time outside and breath in nice and deep. Feel the Energy of that breath flowing all the way down your torso.
Visualise Energy coming up from the Earth to help ground you. Doesn't matter if you are in a building or in the car - imagine that Energy bringing a feeling of calming vibrancy to your whole body, beginning at your feet and legs.
Helpful Crystals: Ruby, Garnet, Hematite and Black Tourmaline.
Essential Oils: Sandalwood, Cedarwood and Vetiver.
Sacral Chakra
Location: Below the belly button
Colour: Orange
Focus: Creativity, relationships and nurturing
The Sacral Chakra connects to how we nurture ourselves and others. When unbalanced, you may feel unworthy or disconnected from creativity. Trauma, especially from childhood, can often show up here.
How to Balance:
Practice self-care activities and embrace your creative side
Use affirmations focused on worthiness, acceptance and forgiveness of yourself and others
Helpful Crystals: Carnelian, Amber, Orange Calcite
Essential Oils: Orange, Jasmine, Ylang Ylang
Solar Plexus Chakra
Location: Between the navel and ribcage
Colour: Yellow
Focus: Confidence, motivation and purpose
The Solar Plexus Chakra is your personal power centre, linked to drive, willpower and that “gut feeling.” If this chakra is out of balance, you may feel uncertain or lack momentum in life.
How to Balance:
Set small, achievable goals to remind yourself you are capable and worthy
Breathe into your diaphragm whilst reminding yourself you are entirely deserving of you dreams and aspirations
Helpful Crystals: Citrine, Amber
Essential Oils: Lemon, Grapefruit, Chamomile
Heart Chakra
Location: Chest area
Colour: Green
Focus: Love, compassion and self-acceptance
The Heart Chakra is the centre of compassion and connection, both with ourselves and others. When it’s drained, you might feel disconnected, especially after interactions that are Energetically taxing.
How to Balance:
Take time for self-care activities like walks or baths
Reflect on what brings you joy and make time for it regularly
Helpful Crystals: Rose Quartz, Green Aventurine, Jade
Essential Oils: Rose, Lavender, Geranium
Throat Chakra
Location: Neck
Colour: Light Blue
Focus: Communication and expression
The Throat Chakra supports clear communication and self-expression. If it’s blocked, you may struggle to speak up or find yourself frequently misinterpreting information.
How to Balance:
Sing the daggiest songs you know or scream into a pillow to shift any stuck Energy here
Practice relaxing your jaw, throat and tongue (yes, really!) to release any tension
Helpful Crystals: Lapis Lazuli, Sodalite, Aquamarine
Essential Oils: Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Blue Chamomile
Third Eye Chakra
Location: Centre of the forehead
Colour: Indigo or dark blue

The Third Eye Chakra is closely connected to intuition and creativity. If blocked, you may struggle with decision-making or feel disconnected from your intuition.
How to Balance:
Engage in creative activities like painting, writing, baking or redecorating (anything that you enjoy) to stimulate intuition
Smudge with white sage, palo santo or incense. Focus on feeling peaceful whilst sending that Energy to the space between your eyebrows
Helpful Crystals: Amethyst, Selenite, Clear Quartz
Essential Oils: Patchouli, Lavender
Crown Chakra
Location: Top of the head
Colour: Purple
Focus: Spiritual connection and awareness
The Crown Chakra is your connection to higher consciousness. A balanced Crown Chakra can lead to a sense of clarity and alignment, while an unbalanced one may cause confusion and overthinking.
How to Balance:
Meditate, gratitude or spending time in nature will support this chakra beautifully
Connect with your spiritual connection/s, your way as regularly as is practical for you
Helpful Crystals: Amethyst, Clear Quartz, Moonstone
Essential Oils: Frankincense, Neroli, Lavender
Understanding Your Dominant Chakra
Most people have a dominant chakra that they rely on most heavily, often linked to their strengths or personality. Keeping this chakra balanced is key to maintaining overall energy alignment. Regularly tune in to see if your dominant chakra needs extra attention and support.
Balanced chakras can contribute to making everything feel lighter, brighter and easier. With these tools, you can enjoy more calm and focus as you navigate life with a sense of purpose and clarity.
Love & Abundance,
