The Best Massage You’ve Never Had: Introducing the Auratherapy Chakra Massage Protocol

Where healing meets ritual, body meets energy, and scent meets soul.

Let’s be honest—I’ve had a lot of massages in my life. From deep-tissue to Thai, sports to Swedish, I’ve laid on more massage tables than I can count. I’ve had magic-handed therapists who read my body like a book, and I’ve had forgettable ones that barely scratched the surface. Over the years, I’ve learned that the best massages go beyond physical pressure. The best massages meet you where you are—emotionally, energetically, spiritually.

And yet, with all that experience, I never had a massage that addressed my chakras, my aura, or my energetic field—until we created one.

Why We Created the Auratherapy Chakra Massage

We looked around and realized something surprising: there aren’t many chakra-based massages out there. Sure, you might find a spa here or there offering “energy balancing” or using “chakra oils,” but a fully developed, soul-centered, energy-aware massage protocol grounded in aromatherapy and ritual? Almost non-existent.

So we made one.

We created this Signature Chakra Massage because we had to. Years ago, we made incredible chakra body lotions. People loved them—but we paused production. Then we wanted them back. Then a spa partner asked us to develop massage oils. And suddenly, we had a reason to reimagine everything.

Not just the oils.
Not just the bodywork.
But the entire ritual of energetic healing through touch.

This is our love letter to healing. And to anyone with a body and a soul.

The Auratherapy Chakra Massage is not your typical massage. This 60-90-minute experience is a multi-sensory, full-body, and energetic journey that merges chakra-balancing massage oils, aura sprays, Reiki-inspired energy healing, crystal therapy, reflexology, and sound therapy into one transformative treatment.

Crafted with the wisdom of Eastern medicine and modern aromatherapy, this massage targets the body's seven major chakras—energy centers that hold the key to your emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.

The Auratherapy Chakra Massage: Where Ritual Meets Healing

This isn’t about deep tissue, sports recovery, or “working the knots.” This is massage as energetic attunement. It's about helping your soul exhale, your mind quiet, and your energy flow freely again.

Using our Chakra Massage Oil Collection—seven chakra-specific blends crafted with therapeutic essential oils—this 90-minute session is a full-body, multi-sensory experience. It’s rooted in Eastern philosophy, Reiki-inspired palm healing, crystal therapy, and chakra psychology. It’s deeply intuitive. Your therapist isn’t just massaging muscle—they’re reading your field, working with intention, and helping to restore your energetic blueprint.

Why Chakra Massage Is the Missing Piece in Wellness

We all talk about balance. But in a world that prioritizes productivity and performance, how often do we really stop and tune in to our energetic body? Your chakras—those spinning wheels of energy running along your spine—tell the real story. They hold emotional residue, unresolved stress, and potential waiting to be awakened.

Most massage doesn’t go there.
But this one does.

We start at the Root Chakra—grounding you in safety and support—and work up to the Crown, opening your awareness and spiritual connection. We include an aura spray ritual at the beginning, a crystal grid and sound bowl at the end, and intuitive diagnostics (like pendulums, aura scans, and breath) to guide us. Every oil is selected with care based on your needs. Every touch has intention.

What Makes the Chakra Massage Experience Unique?

Each session begins with an aura and chakra assessment—using our 3D aura imaging system. In absence of a data driven assessment use tools like a pendulum, palm scans, or intuitive reads—to determine where energy is stagnant or depleted. Your practitioner will guide you through an intention-setting ritual using one of our Aura Sprays, choosing from grounding, energizing, calming, or heart-opening blends.

Then, the body is massaged Root to Crown, using chakra-specific massage oils designed with curated essential oil blends to activate, clear, and realign energy. You can add crystal gridding on the body, Reiki sealing, and an optional sound bowl attunement for full-body integration.There is no limit to your add ons, add these to your spa menu based on your team’s skill sets.

👉 Each chakra is paired with one of our Auratherapy Chakra Massage Oils to support healing from the inside out.

Real Talk: It’s About the Therapist Too

Let’s be real—the therapist makes the massage. A good one feels into your body. A great one feels into your soul.

This treatment is about both. We designed the protocol to teach massage therapists how to tune in: to listen, not just with their hands, but with their hearts. It’s about knowing technique and then letting go into presence.

If you’re a therapist reading this, we’d love to teach you this protocol. If you're a spa director, let’s talk about how to bring this offering to your guests. If you’re someone who just wants to feel whole again—come experience this. Or use our oils at home and start your own journey.

It’s Not Just a Massage—It’s a Healing Journey

If you’ve ever said:

“I’m exhausted but don’t know why.”
“I’ve been to every bodyworker and still feel stuck.”
“I just want to feel like myself again.”

Then this massage is for you.

Chakra Massage is the reset you didn’t know you needed. And it’s not soft—it’s subtle. It meets you where you are and takes you where you’re ready to go.

Start With the Oils. Start With You.

Our Chakra Massage Oils were made for this ritual. But they’re also made for you to use at home. With simple self-massage techniques, you can bring the same healing intention into your morning routine, post-shower wind-down, or pre-sleep ritual.

Feeling anxious? Ground with our Root Chakra Blend.
Emotionally blocked? Flow with Sacral.
Lacking drive? Ignite Solar Plexus.
Closed off? Open Heart.
Struggling to express yourself? Clear your Throat.
Need clarity? Awaken Third Eye.
Spiritually drained? Elevate with Crown.

Auratherapy Self-Massage Rituals: Touching Your Energy Body

Self-massage is one of the most powerful yet underutilized healing tools we have. When paired with intention, breath, and therapeutic oils, your hands become conduits of energetic transformation—not just instruments of physical relief.

Before You Begin

Choose Your Chakra
Ask yourself: What do I need today?Grounding? Creativity? Confidence? Love? Clarity? Use your intuition or a pendulum to choose the chakra that needs attention most.

Create Sacred Space

Sit comfortably, ideally after a shower or bath.
Lay out a towel or blanket
Dim the lights, light a candle or incense.
Play calming music.
Take a few deep breaths to center yourself.
Put crystals around you
Sit in front of a mirror

Begin with an Aura Spray
Mist over your head and around your body to clear your energy field. Close your eyes. Let the aroma signal that this moment is just for you. State your intention for a moment of adoration.

How to Massage Your Chakras

Think of your hands as energy readers and energy senders. Before applying oil, rub your palms together for 10–15 seconds until they’re warm. Then hover them a few inches over the chakra area and notice what you feel: heat, tingling, coolness, pressure. That’s your energy body speaking.

When you're ready:

Pour a few drops of oil into your palm (about a dime-sized amount).
Rub palms together to activate the oils.
Cup your hands over your nose, breathe in slowly and deeply—three times. Let the scent enter your body and settle into your awareness. Imagine breathing into the chakra, fluffing it and plumping it with white light.
Then gently massage the body area associated with the chakra using intentional strokes, breath, and stillness when needed.
Trust yourself, it’s your body you know it best

🔴 Root Chakra Massage (Chakra 1 – Muladhara)

Sit in a chair or on the floor.
Use thumbs to massage soles, heels, and arches in slow, steady pressure.
Glide up calves and thighs in long, downward strokes to ground your energy.
Use your fists or palms to gently thump glutes and low back.
Place palms on the lower back and breathe deeply. Imagine roots growing from your spine into the Earth.

Use When: You feel ungrounded, anxious, or in survival mode.

🧡 Sacral Chakra Massage (Chakra 2 – Svadhisthana)

Lying down, or sitting up apply oil in clockwise circles below the navel using fingertips.
Massage hips in large figure-8 motions, releasing held tension.
Rub palms over the sacrum (base of spine) with slow circular pressure.
Place one hand over your lower belly and breathe into it. Feel softness and flow.

Use When: You feel creatively blocked, disconnected from pleasure, or emotionally stagnant.

Pro-Tip: With Self-Massage, You Get to Massage Your Own Belly—And Here’s Why You Should

Guess what? When you’re doing self-massage, you’re in charge—which means you can give your belly the love and attention it rarely receives in a professional massage.

Why you should absolutely massage your own belly:

It’s where your Sacral Chakras live—your centers of power, creativity, emotion, and digestion.
Your belly holds deep tension from stress, shame, and suppressed feelings.
Massaging your abdomen can aid in emotional release, gut balance, and even self-worth.

Why most therapists skip the belly (especially in the U.S.):

It’s considered a sensitive or private area in Western cultures.
Many massage therapists are not trained in safe abdominal techniques.
There’s fear of discomfort or awkwardness—even though in many cultures, belly massage is essential to healing.

But in your own self-massage ritual, none of that applies. You get to honor this sacred space with trust and presence. So go ahead—warm your hands, breathe deep, and let your belly soften under your own compassionate touch. Healing begins at the core.

💛 Solar Plexus Chakra Massage (Chakra 3 – Manipura)

Sit or lie back. Apply oil in sunburst strokes radiating from your navel up your rib cage, front, side and back.
Use palms in clockwise circles over the upper stomach to stimulate digestion and release tension.
Massage under ribs and up toward the heart.
Breathe in light through your hands and imagine your inner fire reigniting.

Use When: You feel drained, indecisive, or powerless.

💚 Heart Chakra Massage (Chakra 4 – Anahata)

Apply oil to palms, then place hands on your heart center.
Breathe in and press gently with each inhale, release with exhale.
Massage across the chest in outward, circular motions.
Rub shoulders, gently kneading tension away.
Press your hands together (Anjali mudra) and whisper: I am love. I am open.

Use When: You feel closed off, grieving, or longing for connection.

Pro-Tip: Yes, You Can Massage Your Own Breasts—Here’s Why It Matters

Let’s talk about something most people avoid: breast massage. In self-massage, this is your opportunity to reclaim this part of your body—not for anyone else, but for you.

Why breast massage deserves a place in your self-care ritual:

Your Heart Chakra lives here. This is the energetic center of love, compassion, grief, forgiveness, and connection.
The chest and breasts often hold emotional tension, especially from heartbreak, stress, or societal shame.
Breast tissue benefits from gentle stimulation—it can support lymphatic drainage, circulation, and body acceptance.

Why it’s usually skipped in traditional massage:

It’s often considered off-limits due to cultural norms and legal limitations in professional massage therapy.
Even in holistic or energetic bodywork, many therapists avoid the area out of caution—even though in many healing traditions, the chest is a key access point to emotional release.

But when you’re the one touching your body, you get to decide what’s sacred—not what’s shameful.

Use your Heart Chakra Oil with soft circular motions around the chest, avoiding pressure over the breastbone. Glide outward toward the shoulders. Breathe into your heart space. Let go. Receive.

Your heart holds so much.
Let it feel safe in your own hands.

🔵 Throat Chakra Massage (Chakra 5 – Vishuddha)

Apply oil to the neck and collarbone. Glide hands upward toward the jaw.
Use fingertips to gently rub under the chin and around the jaw in small circles.
With light pressure, sweep along the base of your skull and shoulders.
Place your hands over your throat and take a deep breath in. Hum softly on the exhale. Vocalize if you feel the urge,

Use When: You feel silenced, tense, or unable to express truth.

🔮 Third Eye Chakra Massage (Chakra 6 – Ajna)

Apply oil to fingertips.
Gently press between your brows. Hold. Then trace tiny infinity loops.
Massage temples in slow, rhythmic spirals.
Cup hands over eyes, breathe in, and visualize a field of indigo light.
Breath up into your pineal gland

Use When: You feel mentally foggy, disconnected from your intuition, or overthinking.

⚪ Crown Chakra Massage (Chakra 7 – Sahasrara)

Lightly tap or rub oil into the scalp using your fingertips like a comb.
Place your hands over the crown and let them rest there—just feel.
Close your eyes and let silence wash over you.
Inhale slowly and whisper: I am connected. I trust the flow of life.

Use When: You feel disconnected, spiritually drained, or lost in thought.

Closing the Ritual

After completing your self-massage:

End with a chakra Meditation
Sit quietly or lie down.
Place hands on your heart or belly.
Breathe: Inhale calm. Exhale tension.
Say an affirmation like: “I am aligned. I am whole. I am light.”
Hydrate, reflect, and integrate.

Let your hands be the healers.
Let your body be the guide.
Let your energy speak—and your soul listen.
