Pampering Gift Ideas Inspired By the Chakras

February may be cold and unyielding, but ‘The Month of Love’ reminds us it’s okay to spend time cozy indoors to enjoy a little romantic indulgence. Whether or not you plan to spend February 14th snuggled up to a sweetheart, Valentines Day is the perfect time to show some love—and don’t forget to include yourself! Today we’re sharing gift ideas inspired by the seven Chakras so you and those you love will feel pampered from root to crown.

Ground Your Root Chakra

{Earth & Grounding}
The Root Chakra, located at the base of the spine, represents your foundation and sense of security. In the winter, when the earth is covered with snow, a bouquet of freshly cut flowers can help you to reconnect with Mother Nature and remind you of the steady ground that supports you. If you or your loved one has a ‘green thumb’, consider a potted plant that will last until springtime.  

Inspire Your Sacral Chakra

{Water + Creativity}
The Sacral Chakra, found below the navel in the lower abdomen, fosters our sense of abundance, sexuality, and creativity. Associated with the element of water, a delicious loose-leaf tea is sure to inspire! We recommend indulging in a caffeine-free blend by The Honest Leaf. Visit our studio to find: Serene to promote sleep, Nourish for a mineral boost, or Flow for new Mamas. Pair with a cute mug for sweet sipping all winter long!

Feed Your Solar Plexus Chakra

{Fire + Will}
The Solar Plexus Chakra, located around the upper abdomen and stomach, is your source of confidence, willpower, and self-worth. You can fuel the fires of determination in your life by eating healthy, delicious meals throughout the day. Invest in a photo-filled cookbook, such as “Joyous Detox” by Joy McCarthy, and “Oh She Glows” by Angela Liddon. Available in our studio, these books will keep you whipping up tasty eats morning, noon, and night!

Nurture Your Heart Chakra

{Air+Love}
The Heart Chakra, found at your heart-center, is the home of all things love, joy, and inner peace. Associated with the element of air, sound vibration can be a powerful tool in opening the ‘chakra of sentiment’, thus welcoming authentic love and meaningful friendships into your life. Singing bowls, which come in small, portable sizes, are used for music making, meditation and relaxation—a harmonious addition to your yoga practice.

Honour Your Throat Chakra

{Ether + Communication}
The Throat Chakra, located in the (you guessed it) throat, is concerned with communication and self-expression. While speaking your truth is traditionally an exercise of the vocal cords, keeping a regular journal is another way to ‘find your voice’ without the pressure of an audience. Choose a journal that reflects your style and personality, be it a sleek black Moleskin you can tote to work or a bedazzled diary your 12-year-old niece would envy!

Clear Your Third Eye Chakra

{Light + Insight}
The Third Eye Chakra, found at the forehead between the eyes, connects you to your intuition and inner wisdom, and brings clarity to your purpose in life. Associated with the element of light, the virtues of the Third Eye Chakra can be heightened by closing your eyes and meditating on your spiritual sight. Use an aromatherapy eye pillow to help you relax as you contemplate your life path. If you’re feeling crafty, try your hand at this DIY Lavender Eye Pillow for a personalized creation!

Elevate Your Crown Chakra

{Thought + Higher Consciousness}
The Crown Chakra, located at the top of the head, is your gateway to inner and outer beauty, spirituality, and pure bliss. Meditation channeled through the crown can help you align your intensions with the guiding forces of the universe—that’s powerful stuff! Our Manifesting Mama Mala, made with Clear Quartz, is a beautiful meditation aid and a tangible reminder that you have the power to manifest your dreams.

This month, as you show your friends and family lots of love layered with intension, we hope you don’t forget to extend yourself the same kindness! Remember to nurture your mind and body, especially during these chilly months, and use these gift suggestions as a way to bring your own chakras back into a state of balance.
