Emotions & Oils
As you guys know, this subject is my jam! I love talking about emotions and oils because I have felt profound shifts in my frequency, energy and health and have seen huge shifts in those around me using oils for emotional health as well. Did you know that many of our physical issues are connected to unresolved feelings and emotions that have been stuffed away? Childhood issues, trauma, illness, injuries, and so much more of what we have experienced since we were born (and even when we were still in the womb) effect our state of health right now. What are you willing to let go of? If something is brought to the surface as you start to use oils or dive deeper into using them, take a look at it, feel it, work with your body, mind and spirit to release what is no longer serving you so you can be the best version of yourself. Using sea salt baths (or dips in the ocean), talking to a trusted friend or therapist, exercise, journal writing, and meditation can all help you process emotions and the patterns that created them as they come to the surface. Embrace the process.
When you smell a pure essential oil the tiny molecules of oil travel up to your limbic brain where the “seat of our emotions” lies. This emotional control center holds on to all of your past experiences and how they made you feel, many of which are subconscious. Just by diffusing oils and putting them on our bodies we can experience the benefits of an “emotional release” when we suddenly feel a shift in our energy, happy, sad or like laughing. Other times, it takes choosing the right oils for the specific emotions or pattern that created the emotion that you want to release and working with it. Mantras, intentions and prayer work very well with oils because of the high frequency that oils resonate at. Our bodies when healthy resonate at about 68 mHz and Rose oil, one of the highest frequency oils resonates at 320 mHz!
Below are a list of feelings/emotions and some of them have a “Probable Cause” “New thought Pattern” along with a list of recommended oils to use. If the new thought pattern resonates, use it, if not, make up your own. Use your intuition when choosing which oils to try. Try several different oils, get a sample from the friend who introduced you to oils or go over to their house (if possible) and smell the oils so you can pick what would work for you. Remember, if you love it or you hate it, your body needs it, that is an emotional response, so pay attention. As always, when using your Young Living oils, read the label if you want to see how the oil can be used, start out “low and slow” if you are new and most of all, use your intuition. Do you want to just drop it in your hands and breathe deep or do you want to apply it over your heart, belly, or on your feet? Maybe you want to diffuse it or ingest it if it is a vitality oil.
