What in the world is
“Emotional Aromatherapy”?
Allow me to break it down
The juicy answer to that question is in the video above.
But here’s the over-simplified version:
Emotional aromatherapy is the use of (high-quality) essential oils and their aromatic compounds to interact with the personal and emotional centers of the brain (the limbic and olfactory systems, primarily), allowing you to stimulate, calm, or even choose new ways of thinking, feeling, or responding. Yay, neuroscience!
They’ve been found to:
- Increase trust, even between strangers
- Calm and deactivate stress and knee-jerk responses
- Increase feelings of worthiness, self-love, and self-acceptance
- Help you establish and maintain healthy boundaries (and say no comfortably)
- Stimulate creativity, abundant thinking, and energy
- Rewire limiting Belief Systems (aka “BS”)
- Soften personality traits and increase personal growth
(If you skipped the video, mosey back up there to understand the “how”.)
Basically, they help you change the way you perceive and react to the people or situations in your life. Or in a nutshell, they calm your cray.
(Or someone else’s cray. Just sayin’. #sneakattack #exorciststyle #itsnotyouitsthem)
The choice is yours, boss lady!
Diffuse ‘em – Oil diffusers allow you to surround yourself (and everyone else, for that matter) with aromatic compounds, setting the mood for the day
Wear ‘em – Dab a few diluted drops on your energy centers, pulse points, or other areas of the body to stimulate your mind and body (and smell amazeballs, I might add).
Then let’s get creative – I’ve got plenty of practices and strategies (and a few cautionary tales) to share as you get started. (Because practical – and personalized – is my jam.)
“Which oils do you recommend?”
This is a two-pronged question with a two-pronged answer.
First, it’s about brand and quality.
Second, it’s about the right oils for your specific needs.
SO, FIRST THING’S FIRST…
- Start with indigenous plants or biologically appropriate regions and conditions. This ensures the healthiest, happiest plant from the start!
- Create exclusive partnerships with communities and farmers where they can also make a positive impact.
- Offer resources and education to help those farmers create flourishing and sustainable crops of the highest-quality that meet their extremely rigid standards for purity and potency.
- Grow every plant without the use of synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, or fungicides. (Note: not every region offers organic certification, but all oils meet or exceed organic standards.)
- Use precise and specific growing and/or harvesting methods for each plant. (Did ya know some plants should be harvested before sunrise, or right after it rains to ensure the best oil?)
- And most importantly – they repeatedly perform 11 individual 3rd-party quality control tests to verify no improper plant parts, contaminants, or adulterants are found, and that only the exact balance of compounds and purest oil is being offered.
NOW, AS FOR THE OILS AND BLENDS I RECOMMEND…
- Gain natural energy (and replace that 3pm coffee break).
- Find the focus, clarity, and motivation to stop procrastinating and get sh*t done.
- Step up your self-care, sleep like baby (the kind that actually sleep), and nurture your body and mind.
- Love and approve yourself, and feel damn good in your own skin.
- And overcome your fav forms of self-sabotage, so you can feel (and act) like the confident, badass business woman you are.
- Uplevel your mindset game and radically rewrite your limiting beliefs faster than you thought possible.
