As the co-founder of Eavara, a natural skincare company rooted in the lush landscapes of Hawaii, I’ve always believed that true beauty and vitality come from within. While our products, like our Ultra Face Moisturizer, nourish your skin from the outside, there’s an equally important aspect of self-care that works from the inside out: balancing your chakras.
In my journey toward holistic wellness, I’ve discovered that when our chakras are aligned, we look younger and feel more vibrant and energized — almost as if we’ve turned back the clock to our carefree 20s. Let’s explore how this ancient practice can rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit.
Chakras are energy centers in our body that, when balanced, allow life force energy (also known as prana or chi) to flow freely. There are seven primary chakras, each associated with various parts of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being:
Root Chakra (Muladhara)
Sacral Chakra (Swadhisthana)
Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura)
Heart Chakra (Anahata)
Throat Chakra (Vishuddha)
Third Eye Chakra (Ajna)
Crown Chakra (Sahasrara)
When chakras are blocked or unbalanced, we may experience physical discomfort, emotional turmoil, or spiritual disconnection. On the flip side, when they’re aligned, we feel alive, confident, and radiant — much like we did in our youth.
Before diving into balancing techniques, you need to know how to recognize when your chakras might need attention. Here are some signs for each chakra:
Root Chakra: Feeling insecure, anxious about money, or disconnected from your physical body
Sacral Chakra: Lack of creativity, low libido, or difficulty expressing emotions
Solar Plexus Chakra: Low self-esteem, indecisiveness, or feeling powerless
Heart Chakra: Difficulty giving or receiving love, holding grudges, or feeling isolated
Throat Chakra: Trouble expressing yourself, fear of speaking up, or feeling misunderstood
Third Eye Chakra: Lack of intuition, difficulty concentrating, or feeling spiritually disconnected
Crown Chakra: Feeling lost, disconnected from your life’s purpose, or extreme skepticism
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t worry — it’s never too late to realign your chakras and reclaim that youthful energy!
Now, let’s explore some effective methods to balance your chakras and unleash that vibrant, 20-something feeling:
Meditation and visualization are among the most powerful ways to balance your chakras. Plus, these practices provide natural stress relief. Find a quiet space, sit comfortably, and close your eyes. Picture each chakra as a spinning wheel of energy, starting from the root and moving upward. Imagine each chakra glowing with its associated color:
Root Chakra: Red
Sacral Chakra: Orange
Solar Plexus Chakra: Yellow
Heart Chakra: Green
Throat Chakra: Blue
Third Eye Chakra: Indigo
Crown Chakra: Violet or White
As you focus on each chakra, envision it spinning freely and radiating its color brightly. This practice can help clear blockages and restore balance.
Certain yoga poses are particularly effective for balancing specific chakras. Here are a few to try:
Root Chakra: Mountain Pose (Tadasana)
Sacral Chakra: Goddess Pose (Utkata Konasana)
Solar Plexus Chakra: Warrior III (Virabhadrasana III)
Heart Chakra: Camel Pose (Ustrasana)
Throat Chakra: Fish Pose (Matsyasana)
Third Eye Chakra: Child’s Pose (Balasana)
Crown Chakra: Headstand (Sirsasana) or Corpse Pose (Savasana)
Remember to listen to your body and only practice poses that are comfortable and safe for you.
Each chakra resonates with a specific sound or mantra. Using singing bowls, tuning forks, or simply chanting these sounds can help balance your chakras:
Root Chakra: LAM
Sacral Chakra: VAM
Solar Plexus Chakra: RAM
Heart Chakra: YAM
Throat Chakra: HAM
Third Eye Chakra: OM
Crown Chakra: Silence or AUM
Try incorporating these sounds into your meditation practice or play recordings of these frequencies while you work or relax.
Crystals have vibrational frequencies that can help balance and activate your chakras. Here are some crystals associated with each chakra:
Root Chakra: Red Jasper, Black Tourmaline
Sacral Chakra: Carnelian, Orange Calcite
Solar Plexus Chakra: Citrine, Yellow Jasper
Heart Chakra: Rose Quartz, Green Aventurine
Throat Chakra: Blue Lace Agate, Sodalite
Third Eye Chakra: Amethyst, Lapis Lazuli
Crown Chakra: Clear Quartz, Selenite
Place these crystals on the corresponding chakra points during meditation or wear them as jewelry. You can also experience crystals’ benefits by keeping them near you in your home or at work.
Certain scents can stimulate and balance your chakras, too. Try these essential oils:
Root Chakra: Cedarwood, Patchouli
Sacral Chakra: Orange, Ylang-Ylang
Solar Plexus Chakra: Lemon, Ginger
Heart Chakra: Rose, Bergamot
Throat Chakra: Eucalyptus, Peppermint
Third Eye Chakra: Frankincense, Lavender
Crown Chakra: Sandalwood, Jasmine
You can use these in a diffuser, add them to your bath, or dilute them with a carrier oil for a chakra-balancing massage.
When your chakras are aligned, you’ll likely experience a range of benefits that can make you feel as vibrant and alive as you did in your 20s:
Increased Energy and Vitality: A balanced root chakra grounds you, providing a stable foundation for your energy to flow freely through all chakras.
Enhanced Creativity and Passion: An open sacral chakra reignites your zest for life, boosting creativity and rekindling passionate relationships.
Improved Confidence and Self-Esteem: A balanced solar plexus chakra empowers you to pursue your goals with the fearlessness of youth.
Open-Hearted Connections: A harmonious heart chakra allows you to give and receive love freely, building deep, meaningful relationships.
Clear Communication: A balanced throat chakra helps you express yourself authentically, just like you did before adult responsibilities set in.
Sharpened Intuition: An open third eye chakra enhances your intuition and clarity, helping you navigate life’s challenges with wisdom.
Spiritual Connection: A balanced crown chakra connects you to your higher self and the universe, providing a sense of purpose and belonging.
To maintain that youthful energy and radiance, try incorporating chakra balancing into your daily life:
Start your day with a quick chakra meditation or visualization.
Practice yoga or gentle stretching, focusing on poses that target specific chakras.
Use chakra-balancing essential oils in your skincare routine or diffuser.
Wear or carry crystals associated with the chakra you want to focus on that day.
End your day with a gratitude practice, acknowledging the positive experiences related to each chakra.
Balancing your chakras is a journey, not a destination. Be patient and kind to yourself as you explore these practices. Remember — change doesn’t happen overnight.
As we age, it’s easy to feel like our best years are behind us. But by balancing our chakras, we can tap into a wellspring of vitality, creativity, and joy that rivals (or even surpasses) what we experienced in our 20s.
At Eavara, we believe true beauty comes from nurturing your inner and outer self. While our natural skincare products rejuvenate your skin, chakra balancing can revitalize your spirit. They create a powerful combination that can help you look and feel your absolute best at any age.
So, why not give it a try? You might find that the secret to feeling 20 again has been within you all along, waiting to be awakened through the beautiful practice of chakra balancing.
