Forgiveness is a beautiful oil blend that is a favorite for emotional wellbeing and releasing emotions. This blend can help you move from self-denial, so you can forgive, and let go of patterning of the past without harboring resentment. It can also help us release the stagnant, toxic thoughts that get stuck and help us move forward!
JUST A DROP OF FORGIVENESS
You've heard it said that unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die, and while a harsh comparison, it is also true. Harboring unforgiveness and vengeful thoughts can bring on stress, anxiety, and even physical symptoms like stomach ulcers, headaches, fatigue, and panic attacks. Releasing those emotions is key to your health, and we can use oils in that process in a beautiful way.
BACKGROUND Forgiveness is a lovely floral blend of Melissa, Geranium, Frankincense, Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, Coriander, Angelica, Bergamot, Lemon, Ylang ylang, Jasmine, Helichrysum, Roman Chamomile, Palmarosa and Rose essential oils. Many of these oils are high frequency, meaning that they can actually raise our own frequency to a place where we can find better emotional and physical health.
Every living thing has an ideal frequency. As humans, we are living electromagnets! Our hearts use electromagnetic energy to push blood through our bodies, so we have an ideal frequency for maintaining balance.
Maintaining a high frequency in your body is key to staying healthy – this is actual science! As your frequency drops, your immune system lowers its guard. This opens the door to disease and illness taking hold of your body. And one of the biggest causes of low frequency? STRESS. The good news is that essential oils can raise your inner frequency and help you process those toxic emotions.!
FORGIVENESS & EMOTIONS Why use these essential oils for this process? Because of the power of aromatherapy and the limbic system.
Our sense of smell is directly related to our emotions and mood. The cranial nerve associated with smell sits next to the hypothalamus - the area of the brain responsible for mood, feelings and emotional processing. This means we can connect these two things on a physical level!
Essential oils are also high in compounds that can cross the blood brain barrier to reprogram bad coding from the cells. Then other compounds rewrite that code to restore the original perfect copy, one that will not keep us pulled into the physical and emotional effects of stress. This is a process, but the great thing about essential oils is that we have a CHOICE to embrace that process instead of loading our bodies up with lots of toxins and other things that create more confusion in the cells.
So how do we do this? What does it look like practically?
Look at the emotion you're dealing with. Then look at the “other side” – where you want to be instead of feeling the way you currently feel. Then, use the “way out” as a speak-aloud affirmation while inhaling, diffusing, and/or applying the oil to help rewire those thought pathways.
WIth the Forgiveness blend, we can process feelings of betrayal, wanting revenge, and deep hurts that we have experienced.
When using the Forgiveness blend, meditate on the opposite of the above emotions - supporting yourself, finding awareness to honor your experiences, detaching from allowing someone else to have a say over your worth and value. Use the mantras below as you apply the oil, sit with the feelings until you feel a shift.
