EMOTIONAL WELLNESS BOX

THE EMOTIONAL CENTER OF THE BRAIN ONLY RESPONDS TO THE SENSE OF SMELL WHEN RELEASING STORED TRAUMA AND EMOTION.

"Research at New York University proved the amygdala gland (the gland in the limbic system of the brain that stores and releases trauma in the body) does not respond to sound, sight, or touch, but ONLY releases emotional trauma through the sense of SMELL. "

 

-Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils by Carolyn Mein

You can inherit emotions. 

New research has shown emotional responses and fears may be inherited biologically through chemical changes that occur in DNA.  During tests, mice passed on learned information about traumatic or stressful experiences to subsequent generations. Smell helps release and heal these DNA memories. 

This collection comes with 4 very carefully selected, crafted and blended oils all in one incredible kit to use for 21 days in a row to restore balance and peace in your emotions! 

Understanding our emotions can be challenging. Using essential oils is a tool to balance emotional wellness. Each oil in this box will be used to address emotional imbalances and help bring harmony in your emotional body.

Lime helps us process grief and loss while Juniper Berry soothes anxiety and helps to see the sweet side of life, in even in troubled times. This blend allows us to accept all it is and not hold resentment or feel the need to change something that cannot be changed. 

This blend  fosters acceptance of that which we cannot change, helps to release hurtful memories and helps to balance the emotional body so we can live in the present.It reminds us to is safe and healthy to feel our feelings.

EMOTIONAL WELLNESS PROTOCOL

Complete for 21 days. 


 

 Emotions are strong. These plants are strong. Their energies and healing can be experienced by simply breathing them in. You can change your brain chemistry through aromatherapy by simply smelling them and/or you can change your body chemistry by placing a few drops on your body. 

If you do put them on your body, they will speak directly to your cells + DNA.  You have a choice of how you would like to interact with the oils. Choose daily (and know each day may change). 

Ways to use the oils:

  1. Smell the oil  directly from the bottle + say the corresponding affirmation

  2. Place 1-3 drops of oil  on the soles of your feet and say the corresponding affirmation. 

  3. Place 1-3 drops of oil on your hands, rub your hands together and then place your hands in front of your heart saying the affirmations. 

  4. Use your intuition and place 1-3 drops how + where you feel (being mindful to not place in the eyes or on your face and to avoid putting them on the skin and then going directly in the sun). 

 

Special note: If you are using the oils directly on the skin you may mix the oil with a carrier oil (like grapeseed or coconut oil) or use the oil neat (straight from the bottle). Do a test patch to decide what is right for you and your body. Sometimes using the oils neat may be exactly what you need; for other skin types it may be too strong and cause redness or a reaction. 


 

Step one:  Get your four bottles and decide how you would like to use each of the oils today (Choose from options 1-4). 

Step two:  Smell or place 1-3 drops of Calm saying the affirmation: “I am peaceful + calm.” Do this for as long as it feels good for you. If emotions come up, just breathe.  

Step three: Smell or place 1-3 drops of Uplift saying the affirmation: “I am happy and joyful.” Do this for as long as it feels good for you. If emotions come up, just breathe.  

Step four: Smell or place 1-3 drops of Accept saying the affirmation: “I accept my life as exactly as it is." Do this for as long as it feels good for you. If emotions come up, just breathe. 

Step five: Smell of place 1-3 drops of Chill saying the affirmation: “I release anger and frustration.” Do this for as long as it feels good for you. If emotions come up, just breathe. 

Step 6: Allow yourself to sit or lay in stillness/meditation for anywhere from 5-20 minutes. After your time is done you can journal or just go on with your day. You may journal freely or use the prompts below to help. 

 

Continue for 21 days in a row If you skip a day, start over.  Notice the subtitles in the day and your emotional health. Your cells and perspective are changing and you should feel stronger emotionally. 
 

Special note: Always listen to your body. You are in charge. 


 

What to do after the 21 days?

After the ritual you should feel more balanced in your emotions and strong. This will make you more clear headed and able to take care of yourself. Trust yourself and use the oils as you wish. 

 

Some suggestions.  

  • Use the oils as needed, especially when emotionally triggered. For example, if you are having  a hard time accepting something, use Accept. Say the affirmation and maybe journal about it. Let the essential oil do its thing as it speaks to you. Or, if you are having a frustrating or agitating day, use Chill.  You have this tool box now of oils that help nurture your emotional well being. Instead of repressing your emotions, face them. Let them come up and out without hurting you or others. Lean on the oils for support as you feel called. 

  • Do the ritual again if you feel called. Essential oils are wise and they will meet you where you are at. You will not need them all the time as you can outgrow them. They are tools to help you so go to your toolbox when you need and want the help.

  •  Build your emotional intelligence. Work with one bottle and emotion at a time. Use it and then use the journal prompts to work through the emotion.
