Soul Star & Earth Star Chakra- / Entire Energy Field / Element: UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
The Soul Star sits about 6” to 12” above our Crown area. This is the entry point for the Higher Self/Soul to enter into the chakra system thereby, being activated within the physical body. Above the Soul Star we have what is called a “Rainbow Bridge” or “Antakarana” which is the pathway in which the Higher Self and the Monad travel to be activated within the consciousness of our lower self. This is acquired through visualization and meditation and is an important part of acquiring the higher chakras within the physical body.
The Earth Star sits about 6” to 12” below the feet chakras and is our connection to our grounding energies. This is also a very important facet of our chakra system. Some individuals may utilize chords from the feet to go into GAIA’s essence for grounding; hence, the Earth Star is activated.
It is imperative to activate both the Soul Star and Earth Star in meditations as it will assist the Higher Self in being grounded within the physical body along with the higher vibrations that we are currently experiencing. Without activating these stars we can become very dizzy, out of sync, and not connected to the Earth which can cause the Mental and Emotional bodies to be very imbalanced. We are here to fully activate these energies within our physical body. Without utilizing their essence within our chakra system is a mistake that many individuals may be presently making.

Chakras and Essential Oils:
Chakras are spinning vortexes of energy, which both take in and emit life-force energy.
There are 8 main chakras down the centerline of the body from the top of the head to the bottom of the torso (located at all the functional organ/gland centers (pineal, pituitary, thyroid, thymus, liver, pancreas, testes/ovaries, etc.).
When all chakras are spinning evenly and in concert with one another, the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual systems of the body are in balance.
Therapeutic-grade emotional blends are excellent for balancing and blending the chakras.
Grounding- Bottoms of Feet:
Always ground yourself before any type of meditation or spiritual reflection/meditation. Essential oils that assist with this are Grounding and Valor. Take one drop per foot; rub on bottom of foot and on big toes. Put one drop on hand, activate the oil’s frequency by “stirring” with fingertip clockwise 3x, rub hands together to activate the oil, cup hands over nose/mouth (never eyes) and Inhale! Inhale! Inhale!
How to apply Essential Oils for Chakra Balancing:
One easy method is to simply place a drop of undiluted oil into your hand (use only therapeutic-grade oils). Place a drop into your non-dominant hand; stir the oil clockwise with the fore and middle fingers of your dominant hand to potentize the oil with your body’s frequencies. Then lightly rub hands together to disperse oil evenly, and finally, cup your hands over your nose taking a small breath of the oil and wait a minute to see how you respond. If you feel as if you can take in more, take three deep breaths of the oil into your body.
