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.
If you are uncertain as to which Chakra Essence you may need, please check out the chart below and read on to learn more.
Each Shanti Kai™ Chakra Essence targets one of the seven main chakras (or energy centers) within the physical body, all of which have a significant impact on your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health and well-being.

Our Hibiscus Master™ Flower Essence, contains infusions of over 22 varieties of Hibiscus, and is a wonderful tool for balancing issues relating to your lower chakras. This blend promotes stability, grounding, and vitality…. bringing back your passion for life so that you can live more abundantly, and fully present in each moment!
Releasing energetic blockages in your root and sacral chakras can help improve the flow of life force energy relating to these areas, in turn promoting better circulation and enhancing overall well-being. Using this essence directly on your feet, legs, hips, low back and spine (i.e. areas relating to your root and sacral chakras) can help clear blocked energies, bringing greater overall balance to these areas. This can be especially important if you spend long hours seated at a desk, or if you experience discomfort in your low back or hips.
Hibiscus Essence may also help release energetic blockages which can underlie problems in these regions, including hormonal and digestive issues. Working with this essence encourages the release of such blocks, which may contain stored memories relating to fear, worry/anxiety (i.e. forms of fear), anger, survival (especially relating to issues of lack or “not having enough”), negative memories or stored trauma from early family life (i.e. childhood trauma), and stored emotion regarding past relationships/partnerships (i.e. feelings of rejection, betrayal, shame, etc).
Hibiscus can also be a beneficial tool if you are a meditator or trying to start a meditation practice, practice yoga and/or have “stiff” hips, as releasing blocks in the base chakras (which include hip areas) can help release negative emotions, especially anger, that tend to be stored in the hip areas. It further supports the mental release of issues from the past, and can help you let go of baseless fears regarding the future…in this way helping you clear your mind and stay present, living fully in each moment, breath by breath.
This essence teaches the affirmation: “Love this moment. This moment is your life.”
Aside from our Weekly Tip (below) you may also enjoy working with the following suggestions:
Used regularly and before meditation it may help prepare your foundation so you can sit for longer periods of time, until ultimately you can still both body and mind for long periods of time.
Used before sitting for work, especially if you work in an office or cubicle type setting, where you are seated for long hours, it may help you energetically balance and align your sitting bones so that over time you do not develop problems due to discomfort.
Used as a room spray before working on projects or group gatherings, it may help to bring passion into whatever you are working on.
Tip:
Working with this essence can be especially beneficial if you experience one or more of the following:
Long hours seated at a desk
Discomfort in your low back, or hips
Issues in your legs, feet, and/or spine
Lack of motivation
Depressed energies or loss of passion for life
Mental anxiety or worry about the future
Repetitive unpleasant thoughts, memories and/or feelings from the past
Hormonal imbalance
Digestive/elimination imbalance
Guilt, shame, and/or unworthiness especially relating to relationship issues
Trouble sitting for meditation
Anger and/or tightness in your hips
… AND/OR if you experience other issues in these areas, as they may be symptomatic of energetic blocks in this region.
For maximum benefit, try spraying Hibiscus Master Essence over your: third eye, temples, base of the skull, along your spine, as well as over the front and back of your base chakras, hips, legs, and feet. You may spray all of these areas at once or rotate each area with alternating use**. You can use this anytime you feel you could use some energetic support with any of these areas and to promote balance, motivation and greater passion for life.
**In the same way that if your stomach is hungry you don’t have to inject food into it, when you spray an essence, you don’t necessarily have to spray it on that area (especially if it’s inappropriate or hard to get to). However, applying to the area(s) of discomfort or tension can still be helpful and even therapeutic. The most sensitive areas tend to be the third eye, base of skull, temples, and throat region… and that’s why we always list them first. The rest are at your discretion and intuition.
Note: If you do not have our Hibiscus Essence, you may also substitute for our Muladhara™: Root Chakra Essence, and/or Svadhisthana™: Sacral Chakra Essence, carefully crafted blends of synergistically balanced plant and mineral frequencies designed to target a range of energetic issues originating in your Root and/or Sacral chakra areas, respectively. Earth Chakra™ Essence, while a vastly different formula, would be another suitable alternative in absence of Hibiscus Master™ or Muladhara™: Root Chakra.You may also find one of the many individual varieties of Hibiscus, a few of which are also on sale and featured below beneficial:[vc_column width=”1/2″]
Light Pink Hibiscus Flower Essence has an emphasis on healing from grief and loss, grounding and increasing feelings of safety, and embracing your feminine side. It may be especially beneficial as it relates to your early family life, home life, and romantic partnerships, and social relationships. If you have a tendency toward aggression or a hot temperament, have a tendency to unintentionally cause conflict, and/or have a rough time during PMS or other hormonal cycles, you may benefit from the gentle quality of Pink Hibiscus.
Rocks Kauai Hibiscus (aka Hau Tree) Flower Essence carries the properties of the Master Hibiscus™ Essence but with emphasis on balancing your sacral and solar plexus chakras, as well as the mental and emotional subtle energy bodies. Hau Tree may help balance the emotional energies you carry, helping you work through and release lower emotions so that you do not become “congested” or blocked by them. It also helps “lighten” your mind, allowing you more room to think rationally and act with clarity. Hau Tree Essence helps align all three lower chakras and encourages happiness and emotional balance, whilst also strengthening your partnerships and familial relations.
Red Hawaiian Hibiscus Flower Essence benefits increasing strength, vitality and passion for life. It can be beneficial in repatterning fear of lack or limiting and/or inhibiting beliefs so that you once again feel impassioned about life and free to live and think abundantly. It’s essence can help release blocks in your lower chakras that house reproductive organs and thus may benefit females who suffer from menstrual imbalance (and/or reproductive issues); red hibiscus Essence can also help encourage your energy to heal if you’ve experienced past sexual trauma (as this can create blocks in your root and sacral chakras that manifest outwardly in physical symptoms and/or related problems).
[/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″]
Milo Flower Essence carries qualities of Master Hibiscus with emphasis on helping detoxify and recharge your solar plexus region, and significantly increasing your light quotient potential that you carry in both body and mind. Milo Essence helps balance your emotional energies, so that they do not block your ability to think and see clearly. It also helps recharge subtle energy centers in the brain, especially when taken before meditating or being in sunshine.
Molokai White Native Hibiscus Flower Essence benefits purification and renewal, and the clearing of lower vibrational energies that accumulate around the root and sacral chakras. It also relates more to balancing male reproductive and sexual energies than some of the other Hibiscus varieties (such as the pink or lavender variety), which tend to be more feminine. It helps to purify the root and sacral chakra and would help you “cleanse” from past relationship issues and also help you in situations where you must rebuild, or start over from the ground up.
Golden Hibiscus Flower Essence carries the qualities of the Master Hibiscus Essence, with emphasis on increasing reserves of mana in the sacral chakra. It helps to balance and uplift your vibration so that negative emotions stored in the sacral and manipura energy centers can be more readily transmuted into raw physical energy.

Balancing the Chakras
An overactive or under-active chakra can lead to any number of issues depending on the chakra, and if not properly balanced, can ultimately lead to illness. Moreover, blockages in the lower chakras can impact all of the chakras above them. Therefore, it’s important to clear out the lower chakras and establish proper foundation in order for the upper chakras to perform properly.
Note: While our chakra line essences can be used separately to target any particular chakra, using them as a set allows for proper balancing of the entire chakra system.
The Shanti Kai™ Chakra Line draws from over 600 plant and mineral ingredients; with each Chakra Essence carrying a carefully crafted blend that is 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. Incorporating Release It™, our Chakra Release Kit is a great way to help balance these major energy centers of the body.
Tomorrow’s Full Moon in Gemini kicks off a powerful month, astrologically bringing in shifts and new energy for the upcoming year. This full moon is a Super Moon, making it especially powerful, not to mention that Gemini’s ruler Mercury enters its 4th and final retrograde of the year tomorrow as well!
Even though tomorrow’s Super Moon is an extremely powerful full moon, those working with lunar energies may notice the energy is a little held back – so you may feel a burst of energy towards progress followed by a wave of doubt that leaves you feeling one step forward and two steps back. During the Super Moon, the moon comes much closer to the Earth (than during the other full moons), thus its influence on us is greater. The moon is tied to hidden emotions and intentions, and with the influence of both the Super Moon and Mercury Retrograde, what may be illumined is the underlying truth (or even secrets) in our communications and interactions with others.
Our Recommended Essences
While we are not astrologers here at Shanti Kai™, we take note because our Astro Essence Line can be an amazing tool to navigate these times. This month we are recommending working with Intuition™ (our Moon Blend), MercurEase™, and Svadhisthana™ (our Sacral Chakra Blend).
Intuition™ is our Lunar Essence, full of rich deep crystals and powerful flowers that unearth and bring out deep hidden energies, strengthening ones sixth sense, balancing female hormonal cycles, and aligning one more closely to the moon’s natural cycles.
MercurEase™ is for balancing and countering the effects of Mercury Retrograde. It’s Blend can help to strengthen communication skills and help one tap into the creative force working.
Sacral Chakra Essence Blend is a great Essence to use for balancing the 2nd (or Sacral) Chakra. The Sacral Chakra is also our relationship Chakra, and when using this Blend one may find help with the need to be in control and ego states, as well as balancing emotions. One may also experience increased passion and joy levels.
Testimonials
“I used to struggle with pms and see my monthly cycle as a negative – something that set me back. I started working with the Intuition Moon Blend from Shanti Kai and started shifting into more of a harmonious flow with it (no pun intended). I read on Shanti Kai website how certain Native American Indian tribes valued a woman’s monthly cycle as the time when the veil between worlds is the thinnest and women are most in tune with the spiritual realms. I noticed when I started working with the Intuition not only physically did my body start shifting and seeming to align naturally with the moon but I also did the moon release rituals (from their blog) every full and new moon with Intuition and Transformation and noticed my awareness and sixth sense was deepening and instead of feeling overly emotional and discombobulated on my period I now feel more peaceful and at ease- more in tune with myself and others around me. I now notice instead of feeling irritated by people during this time I now feel more kinship or compassion because my empathy increased as I became more sensitive during this time.“
– Lisa B., Wedding Coordinator, Chicago IL
“I use [MercurEase™] anytime I am in a situation where I need to express myself clearly. It is incredibly helpful for me as a musician and songwriter to feel like I am grounded and clear enough to express myself fully without other energies getting in the way of my fullest expression. Often, as artists, we are very aware and very sensitive. Being that sensitive, we are often forced to filter though a lot of garbage to get to the source. Not everything that is positive always makes it way through to us due to stress, imbalances, and environmental reasons. This helps to clear that stuff out. It’s also really helpful as a performer to ease some of those very nature jitters we get before a show, helping you to feel more clear onstage.”
– Rocco, Musician
“Sacral Chakra Essence is another blend I put my whole family on to sync up and strengthen our emotions and needs. With it, I find that we can be more in our power to have boundaries with each other (and others). This is perfect for the stressful holiday time when many people are coming in and out of your house, expecting hospitality and smiling faces.”
– Sarah, Massage Therapist
