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.

Tip of The Week: Thyroid Chakra™️ Essence for Balancing Throat and Heart?
Mercury is still Retrograde and being in the shadow of eclipse season… its a great time to feature yet another fabulous Essence benefiting communication!
The Thyroid Chakra exists within the Throat and bridges the energy centers of the Heart, Anahata and Throat, Vishuddha, Chakras. Keeping it cleansed and balanced can help improve your energetic equilibrium and vitality, strengthen your willpower, enhance creative self expression, and in some cases help balance issues related to breath, emotional eating (ie issues of weight), and in general anything associated with stress!
Your self expression defines who you are and is essential to your greater health and wellbeing. This is true even when (and if) SILENCE is your means to communicate. That is to say, having a voice is NOT necessarily about “having a voice”. I’m reminded of this by the empowered communication I see from friends and clients who are deaf, yet many of them express themselves with far greater poise, intuition and strength than many, even those in power or with loud booming voices.
In a society that is so divided and where words can get you in trouble, it’s easy to learn to “hold your tongue”. While this may help keep the “greater peace”, if it causes you inner turmoil, it can accumulate over time and lead to energetic blockages, including those associated with physical imbalance, mental and/or creative blocks, loss of willpower, emotional blocks, or issues with breath, weight, and so much more.
Tip: For helping balance and align the thyroid chakra regarding issues of energetic stress, we recommend you spray Shanti Kai™️ Thyroid Chakra™️ Essence directly on the throat, front and back, over chest area, especially heart, upper heart, mid back, and other key sensitive areas (ie forehead/3rd eye, temples, spine) 2x a day, or as needed or desired.
You may also try pairing it with any of our Essences for Communication highlighted in our latest blog, to promote the clearing and healing of issues concerning self expression.
We also suggest you checkout our Naturopathic blog on diet, part of our upcoming Resource Guide by Shanti Kai™️[vc_single_image image=”28446″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_border”]In addition to Thyroid Chakra™ Essence, we are also recommending the following (on sale now through July 15).
Throat Chakra or Vishuddha™ Blend Essence: It doesn’t matter who you are, if you can’t express yourself, to many, you simply don’t exist. While we know that’s not true, the world around you can be hard enough without blocks to expression moving in and causing you to fumble in your ability to express yourself. Vishuddha™ Essence helps clear blocks to the Throat Chakra, so that you can speak your truth and express yourself optimally.
Lantana Master Essence is for encouraging harmony and cooperation, and helping you assimilate and integrate multiple energies at once. It also helps you manage overwhelm and can improve group dynamics.
Kalanchoe Master Essence can help you integrate various streams of information, helping you process subconscious blocks that affect your ability to communicate and integrate harmoniously within yourself and with others. It may help with sleep issues, dream work and interpretation. If you are dealing with communication barriers, Kalanchoe can help bring out the underlying blocks so that you can move toward resolution.
Pentas Master Essence promotes the clearing of blockages between your throat and heart chakras, opening communication lines for truth to come out. It helps you to let go of past pain and the need to protect yourself, and it helps you with public speaking, or with teaching, and encourages group harmony and cooperation.
Smithsonite Master Essence helps bring harmony to relationships. It can promote balance and reconciliation, promote problem solving ability, and enhance your leadership skills. It has been know for energetically helping in fostering clear self-expression, left-right brain balance, and overcoming gender, language and other communication barriers.
Dahlia Master™ Flower Essence may help strengthen your ability to handle intense emotional stress. It may help to increase faith and confidence, thereby allowing you to step into a space of optimism despite difficult circumstances (i.e. stressful jobs, relationships, family, etc). It can also help those who tend to be overly logical to tap into and harmonize with their emotions, bringing about balance. Similar to how it can help you empathically harmonize in your romantic partnerships, enabling you to better feel and support each other, it can also help you to apply the same sensors to your work/home life, and other relationships.
Hemimorphite Master™️ Essence may be good if you’re holding onto anger or resentment, helping you to forgive and move on. It increases empathy, making it very healing and helpful for harmonizing relationships, bringing mental and emotional transformation to both (or all) parties. Taken regularly, it may also help balance the throat and third eye chakras, benefitting communication and intuition.

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.
Check out Shanti Kai™ Chakra Sprays in AstroTwins’ Elle.com and Astrostyle Horoscopes! Our Chakra sprays are loaded with vibrational infusions of flowers, orchids, crystals and gemstones that are formulated to act on the main energy centers of the physical body.
MercurEase™ is loaded with flowers and gemstones that may help one to think outside the box, may benefit artistic endeavors such as writing expressively, and may help the mind assimilate information more quickly. It’s also our premier Essence for the mental processing involved in communication – the mind-throat connection – taking information apart, assimilating it, and responding in kind.
Modern communication involves more than just speaking and writing; it often involves an electronic device of some kind – computers, smartphones, etc. Communication issues can therefore arise not just because something is said wrong or in the wrong tone, but because of technological mishaps. “I didn’t get the text”, “no one answered the phone”, “it didn’t ring”, “there was no message”, “my computer won’t start”, “it wasn’t on my calendar”…. are just a few examples.
Mercury Retrograde is a time when such technological snafus and communication problems abound. The positive side of this is such problems can point out areas that need your attention – like it’s time for a new smartphone, or maybe I should reread things before I click “post”. However, it can also be a very frustrating time. And let’s face it – once frustration sets in, communication gets even worse. The mind gets flustered, one’s temper can become erratic, and one may vent or express themselves negatively toward others. All of these things can lead to a very unbalanced fifth or Vishuddha chakra.
The 5th chakra governs the throat and ears, speaking and hearing – our communication mechanisms. Shanti Kai™ Vishuddha (aka Throat Chakra) Essence is comprised of flowers, gemstones, and precious metal vibrations that promote a strong, balanced, and open throat chakra. A strong and balanced throat chakra naturally benefits self-expression, communication, and one’s receptivity toward others.
Used on its own, MercurEase™ is our go to for Mercury Retrograde, but this month we are promoting it alongside Vishuddha™ for strengthening and toning the Throat Chakra. We like to think of this as adding a little long term security by strengthening the chakra that is relied upon for all things Mercury.
