Using Essential Oils for Release and Letting Go

By Lori Lines

Effects of stress, as a result of bad memories and experiences, grief and loss, are devastating. We cannot underestimate the need to let go of old baggage, old relationships, outdated belief systems, and people who have hurt us in the past.  The majority of people have something that bogs them down emotionally, something that takes toll  of their lives mentally and physically, and when we have not dealt with it, the consequences can lead to devastating effects. Old emotional baggage can be a result of several factors, it could be a nasty situation or a person which you encountered in life that hurt you terribly,  it could be plans that you were holding onto that suddenly went awry, it could be a trauma that you faced while you were young and possibly this trauma has somehow not been released from your energy field.  Perhaps you have tried many methods and none has helped.  I'm here to tell you that  one should not lose hope because there are many ways to release.  One of the services I provide is to guide people with emotional baggage through guided meditation coupled with essential oils to help identify and release that which weighs you down from moving forward in life.  
 
Essential oils have been proven, in my healing practice, to work and eventually empower my client(s) to lead happy, more fulfilling lives. But it's a process.  A very rewarding process.

For my clients who value full body and full emotional wellness, a chance to deal with a problem or a belief system which keeps one stuck that  might have taken its toll in one's life has been gratefully accepted and welcomed.  We are all aware that there is no greater wealth than good health and most people  would do anything in their capacity to ensure that they achieve optimal health. Essential oils are meant to do just that: to help us in attaining our best form by raising our vibrational frequencies. Aromatherapy (therapeutic use of essential oils) is something that has been around for many years and has  been tried and found to be effective.   Those who have used these products have  learned of their intense power and a special kind of energy that can only be found in these kinds of oils.

Therapeutic grade essential oils are extracted directly from the plant , so those who may be having thoughts of being harmed by the oil need not worry as they are suitable for human consumption. The fact that they are obtained in their natural form means that they have life force energy that can be used for certain intentions. Conventional wisdom concurs that the amount of energy contained in the oils is high enough to release all the negative energy stored in our bodies. Here's how it works on a spiritual, energetic level:  Basically, everything is alive, everything is constantly changing and everything has a meaning.  Our bodies are a dense culmination of Karmic energy and, therefore, each of us "vibrates" at our own frequency based on all that we have accumulated and released up to now.  Therefore, certain organs in our bodies carry certain emotions through our energy systems called chakras.  The way essential oils work is they seep into the emotions and can change our frequencies for the better.   They are known to be transmitted directly to the part of the brain which is known as the emotional control center. This is the point where the decision on where emotions are to be stored in our bodies are made. This may seem like a very complex process but understanding it is easy especially when this has been part of life experiences.

When it comes to the application of the essential oils, you need to do it in the recommended way which ensures that you achieve the desired result. Be sure to follow the instructions and be assured you are on a journey to achieve full and balanced positive energy. When done in the right way, under the right regime  you are assured that the feelings will be awakened, you will feel those feelings as you release them, and then you can be left with a feeling of courage, excitement, well-being and even joy.

It is also important to make sure you inhale by diffusing the essential oils appropriate for release, allowing the therapeutic aroma to massage your inner spirit.  It is important to stay aware and allow your emotions to surface without attempting to distract yourself from them, to stay present with them - because the more you do this the quicker you will release negativity.  Otherwise, this process will draw out very long and you may be discouraged to continue on.    Note that this one process will not be wiping your slate completely clean, but will be making yourself ready to start afresh, once again, by clearing the way for new and better to come into your life.

If you have been carrying old baggage, it is high time you let it go, they will continue weighing you down unless you do something about it. Most clients say it is so refreshing to let the dead weight off their shoulders.  Essential oils have been tried and tested and found to be very effective along these lines as you will not only feel energized but also feel like a part of some huge load that has been weighing you down has been lifted. There is so much joy in doing this as the quality of your life will be truly enhanced.

Applying essential oils for release will help you open the inner self as you will feel traumatic and negative past experiences melting right away.  When this happens your inner voice will slowly come back, giving you the energy that has been hidden inside and, based on my own experiences with essential oils,  it is an experience that has positively changed my life for the better. The sweet fragrance will stimulate your memories helping in reconnecting with authentic self. Once you have managed to open the true self , you will have successfully completed an important step in finding the emotional balance that perhaps has been so evasive.

What oils are best to use for release?  Young Living Essential Oils offers several - however, it needs to be said that this is a very simplistic guideline for "letting go," releasing, and allowing the uplifting feeling of peace and emotional freedom to root into your psyche.  Emotional health is a precious gift to our well-being because without it we are simply not living a life of fulfillment.

1. Valor - is a Young Living Essential Oil blend that is used when we need to prepare for an emotional release.  It helps balance energies within the body and helps to give courage, self-esteem and confidence.  
2. Harmony - is a great blend that promotes physical and emotional healing through harmonic balance of the energy centers of the body, enabling energy to flow more efficiently. It helps reduce stress which, in itself, creates an overall sense of well-being.
3. Sacred Frankincense - helps to regulate emotions, reduces feelings of stress, and is calming.  It eases depression around the traumatic experiences of life, whether in times of divorce, bereavement, or other emotional losses.  Promotes confidence and purpose as the feelings of negativity disappear.  It also stimulates the body's immune system.
4. 3 Wise Men - this blend was formulated to open the subconscious mind through pineal stimulation to release deep-seated trauma encoded in our DNA.  It opens the crown chakra and stimulates the limbic system, bringing a sense of grounding and uplifting through positive memory recall.
5. Release - this blend helps a person let go of the energy that comes from anger and hate held within the cells of the liver in order to create emotional peace and well-being.  Freedom comes from being at peace rather than from harboring negative emotions.
6. Idaho Balsam Fir - is a wonderful aroma that is very grounding and relaxing to the body.  It helps with the effects of seasonally affective disorders (which I have suffered from), lifting depression.  This oil stimulates the immune system, creating an increase of energy and a sense of well-being. Breathing in this aroma brings in the feeling of security.
7. Inner Child - is a blend that may stimulate childhood memory.  When children experience abuse or trauma, they can become "disconnected" from the inner child or identity.  This disconnection may not be apparent until many years later, manifesting itself as a "midlife crisis."  The Inner child fragrance may stimulate memory response, helping one reconnect with his or her fundamental identity. This is an essential step to achieving emotional balance.
8. Forgiveness - has a very high electrical frequency that can help release negative memories to facilitate forgiveness, letting go, and moving on.
9. Grounding - is helpful in situations where one is overexcited about new ideas or wants to escape into a protective fantasy.  In this kind of mental state, it is easy to make choices that lead to bad relationships, bad business decisions, and other unfortunate circumstances.  We seek for an escape because we have no anchor to know how to deal with negative emotions.  This EO helps restore confidence and peace, enabling us to deal logically and peacefully with life's decisions.
10. Hope - is a formula that helps to reconnect with a feeling of strength and optimism for the future.  Hope must be in place in order to move forward in life.  Hopelessness can cause a loss of vision of goals and dreams, making it impossible to release emotional blocks.  This may help in overcoming tendencies toward depression.
11. Joy - is a wonderful exotic blend of Ylang Ylang, Bergamot, and pure Bulgarian Rose oil and produces a magnetic energy to attract love and enhance self-love, bringing joy to the heart.
12. Present Time - this fragrance has an empowering effect that gives a feeling of being "in the moment."  It's a wonderful blend that helps those who are practicing mindfulness or "presence" and are in need of a little staying present.  One can only progress through emotional release when in the present time.
13. SARA - is an essential oils blend formulated specifically for opening the limbic system to release the memories of serious trauma connected with Sexual and/or Ritual Abuse.
14. White Angelica - is an amazing blend (men usually like this better than the EO, Joy) of 18 different oils, some of which were used during ancient times to increase the aura around the body, bringing a delicate sense of strength and protection.  Its frequency protects against negative energies and helps to create a feeling of wholeness and oneness with the Creator.
15. Take Time - while in a quiet, meditative space choose an oil of your choice to enhance this process, reflect on your goals, your dreams, and on the positive things in your life, along with the things that you are choosing to change in your life.

If you need help, I am available for consultations for the proper use of essential oils for release. I will also recommend that, if you are diligently working on releasing traumas from the past, you see a mental health professional.  Seeing a mental health professional will ensure you receive the proper support during this time of transformation.  Remember, oils may continue to work on an emotional level for several days. So, be careful not to use them too frequently because release should be gentle and handled with ease and care.
