Emotions + Oils

Emotions + Oils

Emotions. We all have them and we all handle them differently. Maybe you are one that doesn't hold back, but really embraces your emotions, and are okay with others knowing exactly how you are feeling. Maybe you are the one that buries your feelings and would rather not have anyone else know whats going on. No matter how you handle your emotions, I am not going to tell you it's the right or wrong way, because I am not a therapist. What I do know is that doTERRA has some amazing blends for emotional support that will benefit your body supporting you exactly where you are at.

Motivate - Self-Doubt

Cheer - Blue

Passion - Bored

Forgive - Angry

Console - Sad

Peace - Anxious

They are pretty self explanatory of what feeling they are geared towards by their names, but we are going to dig into them a bit more. DoTERRA not only sells these oils in 5ml bottles to enjoy in your diffuser or to whip up your own roller blends, but also have convenient touch rollers of all of them you can buy directly from doTERRA. 'Touch' just means that they come pre-diluted in a roller bottle which my family tends to use most often.

Okay lets dig in:

Motivate: Promoting confidence, courage, and belief.

Dismissing feelings of doubt and pessimism.

Cheer: Promoting feelings of optimism, cheerfulness and happiness.

Dismissing feeling down, blue, and low energy.

Passion: Promoting feelings of excitement, creativity, passion, and joy.

Dismissing negative feelings, boredom, and disinterest.

Forgive: Promoting contentment, relief, and patience.

Dismissing negative emotions, anger, and guilt.

Console: Promoting feelings of comfort and hope.

Dismissing negative emotions, grief, sadness, hopelessness.

And my personal favorite of them all-

Peace: Promoting peace, reassurance, and contentment.

Dismissing anxiousness and fear.

Guess what? There's more! These blends are for so much more than just emotions. So when you're adding these oils to your collection don't think you are limited to only supporting your emotional well being.

Motivate: Focus, Upset Tummy, Head Pain

Cheer: PMS, Inflammation, Indigestion

Passion: Mental Fog, Poor Circulation, Fatigue, Sluggish Digestion

Forgive: Addictions, Skin Infection + Damage

Console: Low Libido, Racing heartbeat, Skin Repair, Bowel Support

Peace: Addiction, Fertility, Focus

Resources for you:

'Emotions and Essential Oils 7th edition A Reference Guide for Emotional Healing' is a book I highly recommend. It helps you to dig deeper into each of the oils emotional side which I always find to be a bit mind blowing.
The Itovi scanner is a device I have that reads your body and tells you which oils and supplements your body could benefit from. It pairs up beautifully with this book. It's so fun to see everyone's reactions when they get a scan done. I need this oil for emotional support it says, read its emotional benefits, and respond with words like “It's a bit freaky that it knows that” “Its crazy that this little scanner just explained everything I have been feeling but not understanding to me”. Sometimes we need help figuring out the emotions we are going through because Lord knows life can throw a lot at us.
One more thing I want you to know is that if you are drawn to a smell, let your body lead! Its so beautiful when we quiet our minds and let our other senses kick in. This is something I do with my kids often. They may be struggling with some congestion so I will give them 3-5 different respiratory oils to smell and choose from. Emotional or physical, our body tends to know what it wants and needs.
