This involves a 4 step ritual process

 

First I should tell you 3 critical background items:

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.

The Holidays are coming soon and it is not uncommon for people to feel both stressed and depressed. So here are some ideas to help you feel better.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Can you buy these at the drugstore? 

No, you will not find these great uplifting oil blends at your local healthfood store or pharmacy. Would you like some of these for yourself? I don't stock or buy and then sell, people just buy them for themselves on-line.

    An Excerpt from Ayurveda and Aromatherapy by Light and Bryan Miller 

    The Earth Essential Guide to Ancient Wisdom and Modern Healing

    When under stress, people often feel stuck in depression, anger, fear, and anxiety, and may experience loss of memory and lack of creativity. Inhalation (breathing in) of essential oils can most deeply affect these emotional states.

    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. Inspirtion, after all, means "breathing in of spirit."

    Use Essential Oils to Jump-Start Your Workout 

    Most of you know, or should know, that exercise is a critical component to keeping depression at bay!

    So here are some ideas to help you when you start an exercise program.

    To increase energy prior to a workout, diffuse Citrus Fresh essential oil blend or apply some of this greatly beneficial oil over your head or on your wrists and behind your ears. Citrus Fresh contains tangerine oil for alleviating pre-workout anxiety, lemon oil to promote a sense of well-being, mandarin oil to promote happiness, and spearment oil to bring about a feeling of balance and help support the respiratory system. Its perfect for summoning motivation when beginning an exercise regimen.

    Aroma Siez is another proprietary Young Living blend ideal for sustaining the workout process and enjancing the results of physical activity. Aroma Siez was formulated to help relieve tight, sore, tired, or aching muscles resulting from participation in sports. It contains basil to relax the heart and alleviate muscle spasms; cypress to support the circulatory system, and marjoram to calm the respiratory system, and sooth sore and aching muscles.

    We all want to live healthy lifestyles and improve our physical appearance. By utilizing the energizing, enhancing, soothing, and regenerative properties containing in Young Living essential oils, you can get a sump-start on your workout and maximize your results.

    Other Oils Beneficial for Depression 

    Personally, I use the 4 oil blends already mentioned - Valor, White Angelica (or substitute 3 Wise Men), Harmony and Joy. But there are other some other single oils that are also good for uplifting your spirit such as Lavender, Bergamot, Ylang Ylang, or Lemon. When you are out of the 4 blends, you might want to try one of these single oils.

    Oils Beneficial for Anxiety 

    Anxiety disorder occur twice as often as depression, affecting 40 million Americans. And women are twice as likely as men to suffer from anxiety.

    Some of the oils which are beneficial for anxiety include orange, melissa, valerian, patchouli, rose, Roman Chamomile, Blue tansy & German chamomile.

    Don't let Christmas shopping and family stresses during the Holidays get you down. Act now.

    The Feelings Collection 

    The six essential oil blends in the Feelings Collection were formulated by D. Gary Young to promote emotional clearance and self renewal.

    Collection includes:

    * Valor
    * Harmony
    * Forgiveness
    * Inner Child
    * Release
    * Present Time

    Inspired by D. Gary Young's life experiences, the Feelings Collection lifts negative impressions and allows openness to new beginnings.

    Everyone has experienced lasting adverse impressions that scar our inner self, prohibiting self growth and accomplishment. Following the Feelings regimen, one can begin the path of self identification by aligning emotions.

    "Negative experiences and ideas are recorded in our brains and locked into our memories throughout our lives. These memories range from mild to extreme and have a profound effect on our health and happiness. In order to become who we are intended to be, we must erase these negatives and reprogram our thoughts to make positive ideas our reality."
    -D. Gary Young
