The relationship between Chakras and Aromatherapy

 Often enough, we are stressed out. We usually blame it on external factors and think that it only affects us physically. But perhaps, it is worth digging a little deeper into the impact of stress on our energy…our chakras.

Chakras are our energy centers. They help our body function regularly, and regulate everything going on with our system. It is believed that there are 7 chakras in our bodies, positioned from the top of our head all the way down to the base of our spine. All of these chakras have their own separate functions. It is a thriving eco-system that balance each other out and help our body function just the right way, and balance all areas of our life.

So when even 1 chakra goes off-axis, it can bring hurdles in your life. This is when Aromatherapy and Essential Oils can help.

At Yugen Naturals, we provide aromatherapy for every chakra. Each bottle is handcrafted with care, and personalised for you. It gives life to your prana, and helps it flow freely within your body.

You might not even know that your chakras are unbalanced…you might just be feeling ‘off’. But at Yugen Naturals, we help you identify your ailments. And these essential oils can help bring the relief that you have been looking for.

Take a look at our range of essential oils for chakras and rejuvenate your spirit. 

Today’s nugget of knowledge

 

Somatics Chair Exercises

Somatics is a versatile form of exercise. It not just helps the fit get fitter, but it also helps recovering patients ease back into normality. 

Today, we shall talk about Somatics Chair Exercises. It is a variation of Somatics that helps people in their recovery process by moulding the exercises to their range of motion.

One of my clients cannot get down to the floor, or back up on her feet comfortably. Neither can she lie on the floor comfortably, flat or supine. Normal Somatics exercises for her can be a little troublesome in this case. This is when Somatics Chair exercises come into play. These help her heal while also fitting in her range of motion. Take a look at this guided session and see the difference:

HINA’S TIP OF THE DAY:

This new year, pick your spot, sit on a chair and take a deep breath. Live intentionally, and make some time for peace.

Yugen Natural's Aromatherapy

It's the weekend. Our time to unwind and relax. But many people find that difficult, due to the stressful lives we lead. Often, this is our body sending us a message. It says - 'Hello! Pay attention to me! I am yours, and I need your focus.' And it is a symbiotic relationship. When we listen to our body, we reap the rewards. We heal, and grow. Our body responds to our actions. So it is our utmost duty to be kind to it.

Aromatherapy is one such method where you hear your body out. You see the message it's trying to give you, and treat it gently with care. When you care for your body, it cares for you.

At Yugen Naturals, we make sure we hear you out completely. Only then we make our all natural handmade blend customised for you, and your body. This is how we achieve that perfect concoction that treats you well. 

Our customers have some glowing reviews for us, to match their glowing skin. Anisha Valia is one of them. She came to me with dry skin, especially near her chin and cheeks. After talking in depth with her, we realised that it was due to hormonal fluctuations related to the thyroid gland. So, we got on to making her very own cream that would help her. This is what she has to say -

"My skin gets very dry especially near my chin and cheeks. Hina Miss was quick to point out that it could be due to hormonal fluctuations related to the thyroid gland. She customised a cream to treat the same. It's been over 2 weeks since I have started using the cream. Firstly the cream is very fragrant. As instructed, I applied the cream massaging from my thyroid gland upwards towards my face. I have seen a marked improvement in my skin in a short time. Hina Miss believes in holistic health and treats accordingly. I recommend everyone to use her products."

Anxiety Relief

Here’s something most of us don’t know. Somatics Yoga, as good as it is for the body physically, is also tremendous for our mental health. The mindful, intentional exercises help alleviate anxiety at the time everything feels out of control. Don’t take my word for it, hear it straight from one of my clients benefitting from my Somatics Yoga sessions.

He is a software engineer who was suffering from acute anxiety due to his professional life. This would manifest into physical ailments too. When he came to me 3 months ago, we charted out his progress to help him gain control of his mind and body. Today, he walks with a sense of calmness and assurity. He is miles better when it comes to being in touch with himself and has gained a commendable sense of control over his mind. He is proof that we can achieve all we want by knowing ourselves better. His kind words -

“The practice has helped me gain control of my mind and my body. Slowly I was able to control my breath and use it to calm myself. Regular exercise and stretching has loosened up the tension regions in my back, neck and shoulder region. I now have a better understanding of myself and my body. I highly recommend the practice of somatics yoga, it has really brought me peace of mind.”
