Overcome Depression Using Essential Oils and Ritual
Ranked #6,226 in Healthy Living, #111,571 overall | Donates to Squidoo Charity Fund
This involves a 4 step ritual process
1) Your skin is your largest organ
2) Essential oils absorb through the skin into the bloodstream and work their magic for about a week.
3) Essential oils oxygenate and detoxify.
It is not uncommon for people to feel both stressed and depressed during the Holidays, after the death of a loved one, or sometimes even after giving birth, it's called post-natal depression. So here are some ideas to help you feel better naturally.
This ritual combines these wonderful natural therapeutic grade essential oils with setting INTENTION and using affirmations in order to release blockages and restore you to your happy self. The uplifting and calming benefits of these powerful essential oils for depression and anxiety can be considered a great gift from the healing world of plants.
General properties of Essential Oils:
Essential Oils are antiseptic.
Essential Oils are high in antioxidants.
Essential Oils are highly oxygenating and nourishing to the cells.
Essential Oils eliminate viruses, bacteria, fungus and yeast.
Essential Oils cleanse and detoxify receptor sites and cells.
Essential Oils have a high bio-electrical frequency (52-320 Hz) and can quickly raise the frequency of the body.
Use ONLY a pure, therapeutic grade of oil. Pure, therapeutic oils are the only ones that are safe. The best I've found are from Young Living Oils. The oils used in this ritual are the following blends:
Valor, 3 Wise Men (or White Angelica), Harmony, and Joy. These particular blends have chemistry which is uplifting. You can substitute other oils but these ones are particularly good for the purpose of creating relaxation and joy.
For emotional clearing, it is suggested to lie back, relax and wait a few minutes between the steps until you feel a shift. This allows slow controlled release. It is best to do in a dimly lit room. Be sure to be undisturbed. Shut off the phone, close the door, perhaps be alone if possible.
Take as long as you need. For the ancient Egyptians this process was a 3 DAY ritual.
When applying the oils to each part of the body, say the affirmations.
Step One - Begin at the Feet
Apply 1 to 3 drops of Valor to the bottom of the feet.Say the following affirmation:
I lovingly and willingly let go of all that which no longer serves me in a positive and progressive way. I lovingly and willingly return it to the source from where it came, to be used in a positive and progressive way in service to the entire Universe.
Then RELAX and let go!!!! Take your time.
After you sense a shift in your emotions or consciousness, say the second statement with conviction:
People in my life want to help me experience everything that delights me most! At this very moment, the universe is conspiring to bring me exactly what I most love and enjoy!
"Hope is the feeling that the feeling you have isn't permanent."
Joan Kerr
Step Two - Focus on the Crown of Your Head
Apply 1 to 3 drops of either 3 Wise Men or White Angelica essential oil to the crown of the head.Say the following affirmation:
I lovingly and willingly let go of all that which no longer serves me in a positive and progressive way. I lovingly and willingly return it to the source from where it came, to be used in a positive and progressive way in service to the entire Universe.
Then RELAX and let go!!!! Take your time.
After you sense a shift in your emotions or consciousness, say the second statement with conviction:
People in my life want to help me experience everything that delights me most! At this very moment, the universe is conspiring to bring me exactly what I most love and enjoy!
Sound familiar? Affirmations work best if repeated. So you repeat this process 4 times, one for each oil applied. Note: You apply the oils on different chakras or locations on your body.
"hope flies on it's own wings,
carried on winds of laughter,
it will always find it's way to the
heart it calls home."
by Marianne Radmacher
Step Three - Apply to Each Chakra (Energy Center Up the Center of Body)
Apply 1 to 3 drops of Harmony essential oil on each energy center (or starting at the base apply up the front of your body and end at the crown of your head).Say the following affirmation:
I lovingly and willingly let go of all that which no longer serves me in a positive and progressive way. I lovingly and willingly return it to the source from where it came, to be used in a positive and progressive way in service to the entire Universe.
Then RELAX and let go!!!! Take your time.
After you sense a shift in your emotions or consciousness, say the second statement with conviction:
People in my life want to help me experience everything that delights me most! At this very moment, the universe is conspiring to bring me exactly what I most love and enjoy!
Again, affirmations work best if repeated. So you repeat this process 4 times, one for each oil applied. Note: You apply the oils on different chakras or locations on your body. Believe me your body/mind will love you for taking the time to love and pamper yourself.
The heaviest thing you can carry is a grudge.. Anonymous
Step Four - The Last One - Apply Over the Heart
Apply 1 to 3 drops of Joy essential oil over your heart.Say the following affirmation:
I lovingly and willingly let go of all that which no longer serves me in a positive and progressive way. I lovingly and willingly return it to the source from where it came, to be used in a positive and progressive way in service to the entire Universe.
Then RELAX and let go!!!! Take your time.
After you sense a shift in your emotions or consciousness, say the second statement with conviction:
People in my life want to help me experience everything that delights me most! At this very moment, the universe is conspiring to bring me exactly what I most love and enjoy!
Again, affirmations work best if repeated. So you repeat this process 4 times, one for each oil applied. Notice: You apply the oils on different chakras or locations on your body.

An Excerpt from Ayurveda and Aromatherapy by Light and Bryan Miller
The Earth Essential Guide to Ancient Wisdom and Modern Healing
I skipped a paragraph then it continues:
"Inhalation is one of the fastest ways to bring change and transformation to thoughts and feelings, as inhalation of essential oils stimulates the limbic system (that most primitive part of our brain, storing memories, emotions, and desires), and brings about the immediate release of hormones and neurotransmitters. What better way to transform ourselves than to "breathe in" (inhale) appropriate essential oils. Inspiration, after all, means "breathing in of spirit."

The Happy Place
The Happy Place
Amazon Price: (as of 02/17/2012)
This is a quote from Betsy Crosses review:
"I'm getting to know Lori Gosselin over at her blog Lifeforinstance. I knew that she was a real quality thinker, someone who was willing to pay the price to find a gem in her quest for truth, but I'm just learning how deeply she travels! She's relentless! I read her book, "The Happy Place" in just a couple of hours. Every bit of it touched my heart because of the vulnerability with which she writes. As I neared the end I was taken aback by the overwhelming emotions I felt when doing the "Visit Meditation". It was so powerful. When I feel calm, warming chills, I know I've hit on something good! Follow Lori down the Path to Peace. You'll be pleasantly rewarded. Amazing."

- I think it's great to see alternative methods to beating depression. So many people have to take antidepressants but maybe they should give these therapies a chance?

- You know something? I really sincerely think that this ritual would be very beneficial for those of us coming off divorce! It should be a right of passage i.e. ... "I lovingly and willingly let go of all that which no longer serves me in a positive and progressive way. I lovingly and willingly return it to the source from where it came, to be used in a positive and progressive way in service to the entire Universe."

- I find that when I get depressed, even though I don't want to be depressed, it is really hard to do anything to lift myself out of it. I just don't want to DO anything to help myself. Fortunately it doesn't happen too often! *SquidAngel Blessed*
