Greetings, Nature Spirits friends.
The Eastern mystery traditions have worked with chakra healing for thousands of years, understanding that our energetic body—also known as our aura, subtle body, or etheric body—contains key energy centres that influence our well-being. These centres vibrate and shift, and when they become overstimulated or blocked, we experience imbalanced chakra energy.
Why Does Chakra Balance Matter?
Our energy flows through channels known as nadis (energy pathways in yoga and traditional Indian medicine) and is powered by prana—the life force we receive from sunlight and nature. When we disconnect from nature, our energy flow weakens, and we may feel emotionally or physically drained.
One way to restore balance is through light therapy—spending time outdoors, absorbing the energy of the elements. Another powerful way is by working with plant and vibrational medicine, which carries the same prana energy.
The Healing Power of Vibrational Essences
Nature is rich in life force energy, and just as plants, gemstones, and the elements hold this energy, so do we. In fact, the human body is composed of up to 60% water, with the brain and heart containing 73% water, and even bones holding 31% water (Mitchell et al., 1945).
Research such as the ‘World in a Drop’ study (Germany) and Masaru Emoto’s ‘Consciousness of Water’ highlights how water holds memory—storing emotions and energetic imprints. Similarly, Dr. Candace Pert’s ‘Molecules of Emotion’ links our memories and feelings to the water molecules in our body.
Since vibrational essences are infused into water, they work on the energetic level to help balance our chakras and emotional states—gently shifting stagnant energy and restoring harmony.
How Our Emotions Affect Chakras
As we move through life, our chakras respond to emotions and experiences. When we feel fear, stress, or trauma, our energy centres may become blocked. When we experience joy, love, or connection, they become activated.
By balancing our chakras, we support our spiritual energy field, which in turn nurtures our mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Introducing the Chakra Essence Kit
My mother, Marion Leigh, founded Findhorn Flower Essences over 30 years ago in the spiritual community of Findhorn, Scotland. Inspired by her work, I’ve spent over 20 years exploring the connection between vibrational sound healing and nature’s energy.
On my 40th birthday, I launched Essences by Iona, and from this journey, the Chakra Essence Kit was born.
This 7-essence collection allows you to work intuitively with your energy centres, using the elements and gemstones to restore balance and flow.
The Chakra Essence Kit includes:
How to Use the Chakra Essence Kit
This range is designed to work as a full system, helping you restore balance from the base chakra upwards.
Ask yourself: Do I feel connected to my purpose and vision right now?
If the answer is no, you may need to work with Sapphire (intuition) and Diamond (purpose).
If you feel emotionally unsettled, start with Earth (grounding) or Water (relationships).
You can take:
✔ 7 drops of one essence
✔ 1 drop of each essence for full chakra balance
✔ A combination of 2-3 essences based on what feels intuitively right
This intuitive approach has been deeply beneficial in my personal work with clients, my children, and my own energy balancing practice. After years of working with various essence combinations, this kit provides a simple, powerful way to connect with your chakras and emotions.
Launching in Time for Beltane – A Celebration of Renewal
I’m so pleased to be launching this kit ahead of the Beltane Celtic Festival on May 1st—a time of renewal, balance, and inner transformation.
I invite you to use this kit as part of your seasonal practice—whether it’s for personal rituals, meditation, or strengthening your energy field. By doing so, you’ll be tapping into nature’s wisdom, aligning with the rhythm of the seasons, and nourishing your energetic well-being.
It’s time to replenish the light within and bring harmony to your chakras.
With love and light,
Iona
