Everyone needs balance in life. Whether or not scent plays a role in keeping you calm and balanced is for you to decide, but when I get a whiff of Golden Earth Chakra Wellness Therapy Roll Ons, I feel relaxed by the light, airy aroma.

Golden earth Chakra oils come in seven exotic infusion. I'm currently using chakra oil 4, which is supposed to inspire love and balance. The lovely essential oils of jojoba, rose, neroli and passion fruit make up this organic blend that is reminiscent of my childhood backyard: magnolias, fresh cut grass and honeysuckles. I was drawn to this chakra oil because of the light, homey scent and the idea of positive energies of balance, comfort and healthy relationships flowing to my heart. Who wouldn't want that?

Chakra oil 4 inspires love and balance to the heart chakra.

Golden Earth Chakra Wellness Therapy Roll Ons are $24 for 1/8 ounce. The roll ons are made in the U.S. and the company is Coop America-approved. Golden Earth is also a member of the Green Products Alliance and is a signer of the Compact for Safe Cosmetics.

Travel Relief
Summer means travel. And while we may not be traveling as much as we used to in our effort to lower our carbon footprints, there's nothing like a vacation to renew and rejuvenate..except for that actual travel part. We don't know about you, but for us, it's usually quite stressful. Enter the travel kit from Golden earth, an organic and botanical set of five aromatherapy-based essentials to keep you calm and collected. The kit contains a citrus hand cream, spearmint (yummy) foot cream, a rose, jasmine and lavender body cream, sandalwood and cedarwood bath and hand gel, and an essential oil blend to combat jetlag. Don't leave home without it... www.goldenearth.net

A Golden Touch
Golden Earth was created by aromatherapist Elizabeth Golden who is passionate about creating products that inspire wellness and make people feel good!  She says: “Essential Oils are the new perfume of today, they are not created in a lab, they are easy to use and they come from nature; plus each essential oil contains healing properties.”  Her sensitivity to scents, vibrations and energy helped her design some of the most delicate pleasing essential oil blends, which are added to all the products in the Golden Earth family.  Exotic essential oils such as sandalwood, rose, jasmine, neroli and tuberose are some the most precious and revered oils in the world.  Golden Earth exotic essential oil blends contain one of more of these oils in each of our blends.  There are no synthetic fragrances or perfumes in any of our blends.  Not one drop!

Golden Earth recycles and reuses to help sustain our beautiful planet earth, and contributes to charities, such as the Real Medicine Foundation, helping children in need of medical attention in third world countries, the John Wayne Cancer Foundation and Children Uniting Nations. Plus many more.

After a crazy, crazy two weeks, (helping plan a last minute wedding shower on top of my regular busy life is hard work – can anyone say Lehman Brothers and AIG – UGH!), I needed an inner boost to get me back on track to normalcy. One of my synthetic-hating friends recommended I try Golden Earth Chakra Wellness Therapy. As you all know, I'm new to the world of the au-natural, so I figured I'd give into a Zen moment. While I was a bit skeptical at first, the oils really proved their worth. Almost like liquid therapy!

So first – let's educate. Chakras are "spinning vortices of energy located throughout the midline of the body." The energy centers are weakened from absorbing outside energies. The oils are combinations of exotic essential oils infused with crystals to help re-awaken and heal your energy centers. Since I couldn't convince my boyfriend to give me a massage with the oils ("the game's starting in 5 minutes! Matt's coming over, I'll do it later"), I just used it as I would a perfume. After even just one week, I felt revitalized. Just the scent of the oils alone gave me the spiritual uplift that I needed to forge forward and live life in a centered peace of mind! My favorites are "higher knowledge"-a sandalwood and jasmine essential oil blend with amethyst crystals-which inspires an openness to new ideas and awareness and "life force" – patchouli and myrrh essential oil blend with hematite crystals-which inspires prosperity and stability. I was really impressed with the soothing effect of the oils…and maybe one day my boyfriend will realize that too.

Renew and balance your Chakras and get through the madness of your day with Golden Earth Chakra Wellness Therapy – can you really put a price tag on spirituality? No, but each of these oils can be purchased for $36 – well worth it my friends…well worth it!

Balance your chakras
THE WORD chakra translates from Sanskrit as "wheel" and refers to the seven spinning energy centers that go from the base of the spinal columns to just above your skull, says Swami Saradananda, author of Chakra Mediation (Sterling, 2008). When these points are in alignment, you function optimally and in balance. By meditating on your chakras you can pinpoint and correct your energy blockages-and restore your equilibrium.

To find that balance, try one of these three new lines of aromatherapy oils inspired by the chakras. Just a sniff of GOLDEN EARTH CHAKRA WELLNESS THERAPY ($30 each; goldenearth.net) helps you tap into your energy reserves-not bad for a portable bottle.
