So, if you’re interested in learning how you get the most out of your Chakra Soap to cleanse your body, mind, and spirit – from Root to Crown – read on for my top tips for using this gorgeous soap to cleanse your energy, help balance your Chakras, and improve your physical and mental wellbeing.
In the shower
I love to use an exfoliating mitt or glove with my soap – it helps to generate an even more sumptuous lather, adds some extra grip to hold on to the soap, and keeps my skin extra soft!
Depending on which soap I’m using, I stand under the shower and connect with the energy of that soap – you’ll find it on the label e.g Root Chakra Soap for Grounding & Strength.
I feel the soap in my hands, ground myself where I am standing, connect with the surface beneath me, feel the water hitting my skin and the soap in my hands, smell the beautiful scent rising from it, observe the colours – totally immerse myself in the present moment.
Then, repeating the message on the soap, I choose how I want to feel that day e.g. for the Root Chakra Soap it would be:
“Today, I choose to feel grounded & strong.”
There are links to more affirmations related to each chakra and corresponding soap below – check them out if you want to go deeper or change it up a bit!
Then I continue in the shower as normal, taking the energy of the soap, the shower, and the affirmations I just performed, into the rest of my day!
Beautiful!
In the bath
A bath usually means a bit more time to relax and indulge in some rituals and life-affirming practices. I tend to take baths at the end of the day (thought not always), so the connection and message can be slightly different as you might be taking the energy to bed with you rather than out into your day.
You can dim the lights, light candles, sprinkle in some petals – whatever feels good for you! Just enjoy the slower pace and relaxing nature of the ritual of bathing.
I love an Epsom Salt bath for cleansing energy, and you can add some supportive crystals to the bath water (check for hardness) or to the rim of the bath to really amp things up energetically.
From here, it’s about connecting with the energy of the soap e.g. Third Eye Chakra Soap for Vision & Insight. Side note: this is a great one to use before bed to help you have pleasant dreams and connect with your intuition and insight.
Again, feel into the present moment – feel the soap in your hands, ground yourself where you are lying, connect with the surface beneath you, feel the water on your skin and the soap in your hands, smell the beautiful scents rising in the steam, observe the colour of the soap – totally immerse yourself in the experience.
Then, repeating the message on the soap, I choose how I want to embody that energy e.g. for the Third Eye Chakra Soap it would be:
“I choose to connect to my vision & insight.”
There are links to more affirmations related to each chakra and corresponding soap below – check them out if you want to go deeper or change it up a bit!
Then relax fully, and enjoy the whole bathing experience – interruption-free, if you can! And for as long as you choose. When you’re done, wrap yourself in a warm towel and continue to feel the energy you called in during the bath. Perfect!
At the sink
I particularly love using my Chakra Soap at the sink in my kitchen, bathroom, and cloakroom – it’s such a quick, easy, and accessible way to prompt ourselves to take a mindful moment and tune into our mind, body, and energy throughout the day.
Again, I will connect with the energy of the soap (e.g if you’re using the Solar Plexus Soap it would be ‘Power & Energy’), feel the texture of it as I turn it over in my hands and the water running from the tap; I notice the colour, the bubbles, the scent, and ground myself where I am standing – feeling into the present moment.
That can be enough to connect with the energy, but you can amp it up by repeating the message on the soap:
“I choose to embody power & energy”
Or you can use one of the other affirmations associated with that Chakra – check out the links below.
All of this need only take a few seconds, but you will feel the benefit all through your day!

It’s still just soap, though… right?
Absolutely, it is! And of course, you can do none of these things and just enjoy using the soaps for their quality natural ingredients, beautiful gentle colours, specially selected essential oil combinations, and moisturising properties!
It’s your soap – you get to choose when and where you use it, how you use it, and what it means to you. I just hope that you enjoy it and feel the love I have poured into it when you do use it.
