The crown chakra is located at the very top of your head- actually just a little above it. It is associated with spirituality, intuition and the the mind. Its colors are white and violet.  When balanced one feels connected to others and a higher power. There is an awareness of higher consciousness, wisdom and what is sacred. It feels like life has purpose and bliss. When it is out of balance one feels disconnected from spirit and body, cynical or close minded. A feeling of being all alone is common.

I have had lots of people with questions about using eucalyptus essential oil. I think it's because it's been so hot and people are drawn to its cooling nature.

Before I get into the uses for these wonderful essential oils I would like to share the importance of doing a patch test before using a new botanical in any of your preparations. It's simple and only takes 15-20 minutes to find out if you or someone else is sensitive to an oil or botanical. Put a drop of the essential oil in question on a cotton ball and dab the inside of your arm right below the elbow. If any redness, itching or irritation occurs within the next 15-20 minutes avoid using that substance in any of your creations. MYRRH ~Myrrh has a warm, resinous scent that is soothing in states of stress, panic, fear, confusion and apathy. To use for this purpose, place a drop or two of the essential oil in a diffuser or bowl o f hot water to help disperse the scent throughout the room.
