The New Year is a time of Resolution – to set your intention to clear out the old and bring in the new. It’s a time for looking at your life and seeing where you could use a little more balance and how you can achieve it. It’s also a great time to do a little life review and see where you need to change – to detox the old ways and limiting beliefs and energies in your life – to cleanse and clear. It’s also a time to see where you’ve been blocked and where you can grow, to set new goals so you can strive to do and be more. Of course, you need not wait to the New Year to do this. You can do this anytime, and our Release It™ and Chakra Line of Essences are fabulous tools for doing just that!
Why use Release It™?
Often, we have deep seated energy blockages that wreak havoc in our systems. These blockages can be thought of in many different terms, but usually represent a sort of trauma that has either been inflicted or inherited. Trauma can be anything from stubbing your toe to being yelled at in school, experiencing ongoing stress, suffering a serious accident, etc. Energetically speaking, these stored traumas appear like dark dense bodies of accumulation in the emotional and subtle bodies, literally weighing you down.
How it Works
Release It™ gets into this dark energy accumulation that comprises energy blocks or imbalance in each of your main chakras (or 7 main energy centers) and begins pulling these energies out, helping you to break down the resistance so you can more manageably release it. It has several different mechanisms by which it works, including releasing through relaxing, breaking up energy blockages into small particles, drawing out or purging the toxic parts in the physical body, encouraging a state of surrender, unearthing it, etc.
The Importance of Clearing Your Lower Chakras on Overall Health & Spiritual Well-Being
[vc_column width=”1/2″]Your physical body is ultimately a vessel for your spirit; it is a means for your soul to express and progress. When you do not clean out your physical vessel, you not only weigh it down, but you can also hold yourself back from experiencing greater light, and ultimately, enlightenment.
When your Prana or life source energy (aka mana, or “chi”) becomes stagnant due to resistance in your physical body, your soul and your spirit – your overall “inner experience” – also become weighed down. This sort of blockage or “clog” can then affect your pure potentiality, diminish your vitality and limit how high or far you can go in life. Being grounded in the sense of being “weighed down” is different than being grounded and rooted, connected to the earth. Your physical body should be grounded, but your spirit needs to be able to soar. When you do not clear out your chakras, however, especially your lower ones, your physical body can have the effect of grounding your spirit. You can become depressed and heavy, out of touch with your higher life purpose.
An overactive or underactive chakra can lead to any number of issues depending on the chakra, and if not perfectly balanced, can ultimately lead to illness. Moreover, blockages in the lower chakras can impact all chakras above them, most decidedly your Root Chakra. Therefore, it is important to clear out the lower chakras and establish proper foundation for the upper chakras to perform properly.
The Shanti Kai™ Chakra Line
The Shanti Kai™ Chakra Line draws from over 600 plant and mineral ingredients; with each Chakra Essence synergized in a carefully crafted blend formulated to help clear, heal, and balance that particular chakra. It is also a great tool for healing practitioners to incorporate in their client work and to use for their own self-care to stay balanced and aligned.
Working with our Chakra Line to Balance, Clear, and Release
Our Chakra sprays are also formulated to release and clear the 7 main chakras, and it is NOT always necessary to combine them with Release It™. In fact, unless there is a specific block you are aware of or you are doing deeper levels of clearing and self-care, you may find simply working with the Chakra Essence(s) you need is enough. However, when you’re really ready to go deep and create the change you want to see in your life – such as a once-a-year New Year’s Cleanse – you just might find this combination a fabulous tool to do just that – to accelerate your healing and elevate your pure potential.
Release It™ and Your Chakras
Below are some simple steps for clearing and releasing working with Shanti Kai™ Release It™ and Chakra Essence Line. Use these essences whenever negative thoughts or feelings come up with the intention of releasing it and letting it go. If the feelings can be linked to a specific body part (e.g. butterflies in my stomach, “broken” heart, weak knees, headache, etc.) then spray Release It™ over the affected areas and follow with the appropriate chakra essence. Otherwise, it may be helpful to spray the base of the skull, forehead, temples, heart center, and feet.

Happy International Women’s Day! Women are at the heart of society, and often times the heart in society, and that’s why we decided to feature our Anahata™: Heart Chakra Essence, alongside 2 other femme faves, Venus™ and Goddess Power™. Used together they combine the ultimate feminine energy often associated with the goddess Venus, and the dynamic, well-rounded, empowering energy that is the “modern woman”.
I recently read a blog on how Simone Biles and another future Olympian were recruited for a new modeling campaign to represent a “new type of woman”… the woman “that is not part of the competition every woman is in whether she wants to be or not”. The blog talked about saying goodbye to the supermodel stereotype of yesterday and cultural ideals of beauty and stepping into a realistic, more accepting, diverse concept of beauty.The Shanti Kai Woman’s Day Essences are all about self acceptance, unconditional self-love, and feeling empowered. beautiful and feminine, transcendent of outer constructs or social norms of beauty.
Our Anahata™: Heart Chakra Essence may help you focus your energy above the issues of the lower (more primal) chakras, where attributes such as lust, competition, greed, jealousy, and fear reside… and onto the heart, where it may assist you in the release of blockages (such as resentments, traumas, and subconscious beliefs from past relationships) and help you tap into the beauty that comes with self forgiveness, self acceptance, and unconditional self love.
Our Woman’s Day choice essences may help you step more fully into your concept of what it is to be whole as a woman in this world without bending to the societal pressures established by subliminal messaging, magazines, and a culture that sells sexual energy at the cost of lowering self esteem for the masses. The modern woman is beautiful because she loves herself. She’s beautiful because she accepts herself. She exists transcendent of social norms and constructs of beauty.
We have become so accustomed to outer beauty being defined by subliminal messaging, advertising and cut out by top supermodels or actresses. The modern day woman is not that. She is beautiful because she is open, loving, empowered and whole.
Our Essence trio may help you embrace all of that in yourself; there is a Venus in every woman and a goddess in every chakra, and when we awaken the two, the aura vibrates with these energies; it is the self-love and acceptance, and the higher vibrational frequencies associated with these attributes that creates true inner beauty that radiates without.
Valentine’s day is almost here, and what better way to celebrate than with a Shanti Kai™ Essence named for the Goddess of Love herself, Venus™! Our Venus™ Master Essence was formulated with ingredients to help boost your confidence, magnify feelings of self-love, and help you look and feel more beautiful from within. When the inside shines brightly, you may find your field of attraction is magnified, and that you more readily attract romance, love, and all kinds of beauty into your life (especially when paired with our Shanti Kai Attract™)!
What’s more, Venus is also the Goddess of Creativity… and this Essence was designed to inspire beauty and help you to more easily align with what it is that you want to create in your life… especially when it comes to love! Venus™ also works well with other Shanti Kai™ Essences, and we suggest trying some of the pairings below:
Venus™ and Anahata™: Heart Chakra – For healing past relationship issues, and magnifying feelings of unconditional love and acceptance in relationships.
Venus™ and Goddess Power™ (or Empower™) – For coming into your power and confidence. Try this duo when you go on a first date!
Venus™ and Jasmine™: Love – Love can be magical and this essence pairing helps you tap into the power of unconditional love. This essence duo is so soft and sweet… it helps open even the most stubborn of hearts.
Got someone special in your life and looking for a unique gift idea? Or maybe that special someone is you! There’s no better time than NOW (this holiday season) to invest in yourself!!! Did you know that everything else good that we do for ourselves is boosted, or made more effective when we combine it with essences for our energy field? Essences work on subtle levels to restore balance and optimize important energy centers within you, and bring about greater wellness and healing as a downstream effect. And during the holidays especially, when it’s common for family issues to come up, or issues surrounding abundance, your root and heart chakras are two energy centers that could use some extra love and care with the help of our Holiday Chakra Companion Essences, Muladhara™: Root Chakra and Anahata™: Heart Chakra.
If you’ve ever taken a yoga class, you’ve probably heard your teacher reassure you as you screamed your way through your first hip-opener, that family issues, tension, and difficult emotions such as sadness or anger can be stored in the hips, which is part of your root chakra, and is one reason they can be so tight. Holidays are a time when, if you have family, you’re likely to be with them, and if not, you’re likely to be thinking of them, reflecting on times past, or just subconsciously dealing with root chakra issues. While much good comes from family ties, the root chakra also represents early life, blood relations, home life, our earliest memories, and our first time connecting with the earth and learning to walk. While you’re likely to have many wonderful memories, it’s the unresolved ones that you may feel the most, perhaps not even knowingly.
As the root chakra deals with abundance issues and primal survival energies, fear also takes root here and as such this can also be a time when people feel imbalance around money issues or financial stress. It’s a time of year when there are many triggers that can stir up the energy in the root chakra, which is why it’s so important to have a tool to balance. The synergistic blend of ingredients in Muladhara™:Root Chakra Essence is formulated to help balance family issues, promote groundedness, and ease fears surrounding abundance and having enough of anything, helping to encourage greater feelings of security and building a strong base for the other chakras above it.
At the same time, this is a time of sharing, caring, giving, blessing, and heart opening. However, seeing that irritating in-law or other frustrating family dynamics may find you feeling more like Scrooge than Santa at times, which is why we recommend a little heart chakra clearing, balancing and opening, with our Shanti Kai™ Anahata™: Heart Chakra Essence. When we have a balanced heart chakra, it’s much easier to experience feelings such as compassion, unconditional love, and to be in a state of forgiveness and acceptance. Instead of closing ourselves off, it becomes easier to open up and receive others just as they are.
We recommend using these essences together, alternating between the two, to help ease stress that can arise during this time of year. For a quick, calming break, use Muladhara™: Root Chakra to spray the skin on the front and back of the root chakra (near the base of the spine), on the back and front of the legs, feet, forehead, temples and front and back of the neck and over the front and back of the heart area. Follow with Anahata™: Heart Chakra over the same areas.
If have a few moments you can also try this longer exercise for a deeper relaxation experience. Spray Muladhara™: Root Chakra followed by Anahata™: Heart Chakra over the areas listed above. Then, take five long, deep breaths, visualizing with each inhale that the essences are moving up and circulating in your brain. With each exhale, imagine that you are breathing out through the top of your head. To read more, check out the products below.
