Essential Oils to Enhance Your Self-care

Liz James · February 27, 2021 ·

by Stephanie Gregory
Who needs to relax, recenter, or basically just chill out?


Haley Jensen, Senior Manager of Young Livings’ Global Training and Development shows us how to not remain victims of our own lack of self-care.  We can learn to control how we respond to stress.


There are practical tools to help you align yourself, reconnect with your body, your mind,and your spirit.  Incorporating essential oils into these practices creates a synergistic effect.

#1.  Conduct Daily Check-ins in your own sacred space! 
     What do I need to lean into? Say “no” to? Spend my time? What do I need to nourish?  Evaluate your body, your mind, your emotions.


      Grounding (bottom of your feet, back of your neck, or diffuse)….Sacred Frankincense
      Reflecting on your goals…  Envision
      Alignment or clarity…  Cedarwood
      Joy and togetherness…  Joy
     Creativity…  Lime
     Focus…  Peppermint
     Strength & security…  White Angelica
     Calm…  Lavender
     Motivation…  Motivation, Awaken, or Envision
     Passion…   Ylang Ylang
     Grounding…  Frankincense
     Positive mindset…  Lemon, Citrus Fresh
     Positive energy shift…   Abundance

#2  Meditating allows you to gain perspective and focus in the present, increases self-awareness, and decreases negative emotions. Depending on what you meditate upon, it changes and rewires your brain. Sit & Breath – align yourself with your values. 
Oils to use to enhance your meditation practice:
            Valor
            Northern Lights Black Spruce
            Sacred Frankincense
            Peace & Calming
            Cedarwood (especially if you are feeling scattered)

#3 Bring positivity!  Smile!
This simple practice releases a cocktail of neuropeptides like serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins.  Smiling for just 20 seconds will also raise your frequency! 
Essential oils for positive vibes:
Joy
Lemon
Melissa
Orange
Citrus Fresh
Stress Away
White Angelica

#4  Clean up your environment from negative emotions!
Feelings Kit will help you keep your positive mindset and discard the negative. 
For a serious reset use Release or Palo Santo on fingertips of your pointer finger and draw them from your forehead up over the top of your head, down through the back of your neck and out to the tops of your shoulders.  Follow with White Angelica.

#5  Gratitude!  Gratitude releases dopamine. Our brains can only focus on one thing at a time, so thinking about things for which to be grateful is a way to train your brain to look for good things.  
Write a love letter to yourself with everything good about you!   A gratitude journal is a wonderful way to worship our Creator too!  
Gratitude essential oil blend or pick your favorite essential oil to help you think of more beautiful moments.

#6  Daily Movement!   Just 30 minutes will increase your energy and help you process all the things.  
*Exercise will increase: your endorphins, mood, oxygen, immune system, self-confidence 
*Exercise will improve your sleep, digestion and connection with your body.  
          To optimize those workouts by relieving the sore muscles:
               CBD Muscle Rub (you can pair with: PanAway, Camphor, Clove, Helichrysum, Lemon, Peppermint, Tea Tree, or Wintergreen)  
               OTC Pain Relief Cream 
               Agilease
               Powergize 
               Aroma Siez
               Cypress 

                      🔥 Remember, an empty lantern offers no light!
                 Self-care is the fuel that allows your light to shine brightly!
