2) Chakra Massage: Choose which Chakra you're focusing on, you can see below some oils to choose from. Mix your desired blend of essential oil with carrier oil, 3% to 97% as above (this would be roughly 1 or 2 drops per teaspoon). Make enough for 1 or 2 massage sessions. For a full body massage you may use about 100 ml or 6 tablespoons. Warm to slightly above average body temperature by setting your bottle of blended oil in a cup of hot water for a few minutes. It's good to make sure the oil doesn't feel cold to your massage recipient ;) |
