The calming fragrances should be used if you feel over anxious or stressed, need to quiet the mind and come back into balance. The stimulating fragrances should be used if you experience low vitality, have difficulty in making choices; need to open to the joy of life.
There are a number of ways in which the fragrances may be used. Put a few drops in your bath, heat it in a diffuser, burn it as a joss stick or incense. Sniff a few drops of oil from your hand or apply directly to the area of the chakra. You may experiment mixing the fragrances to form a blended oil for the objective you have in mind.
NOTE! Most essential oils are very concentrated, so when applying them directly to the skin it is safer to put them into a carrier oil such as almond oil or apricot kernel oil.
