What are essential Oils
What are essential oils
Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark,
stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants.
They can be both beautifully and powerfully fragrant.
If you have ever enjoyed the gift of a rose, a walk by a field of lavender, or
the smell of fresh cut mint, or zested an orange or lemon then you have
experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils.
In addition to giving plants their distinctive smells, essential oils provide
plants with protection against predators and disease and play a role in
plant pollination.

What are essential oils
Essential oils have been used throughout recorded history for a wide variety of wellness applications.
The Egyptians were some of the first people to use aromatic essential oils extensively in medical practice, beauty treatment, food preparation, and religious ceremony.
Frankincense, sandalwood, myrrh, and cinnamon were considered very valuable cargo along caravan trade routes and were sometimes exchanged for gold.
Borrowing from the Egyptians, the Greeks used essential oils in their practices of therapeutic massage and aromatherapy.
The Romans also used aromatic oils to promote health and personal hygiene. Influenced by the Greeks and Romans, as well as Chinese and Indian Ayurvedic use of aromatic herbs,
The Persians began to refine distillation methods for extracting essential oils from aromatic plants.
Essential oil extracts were used throughout the dark ages in Europe for their anti-bacterial and fragrant properties.
How are they used ?
There are three ways that Essential oils can be used.
Aromatically
Topically
Internally
How are they used?
How are they used? Aromatic Uses
Our sense of smell influences many physiological pathways including the
stimulation of hormones and other metabolic processes.
Aromatherapy is founded on the body's predictable response to specific
olfactory stimuli.
Essential oils are widely used in aromatherapy applications. Certain
essential oils, when diffused in the air, can be very stimulating, while others
can be calming and soothing.
How are they used? Topical Uses
Due to their natural molecular composition, essential oils are
easily absorbed by the skin and can be safely applied topically.
Application of essential oils can have immediate, localized
benefit to the target area of application.
They have restorative and calming properties and can be used
effectively with massage and beauty therapy. They are also
natural disinfectants.
The chemical structure of essential oils also allows them to be
absorbed into the bloodstream via the skin for internal benefit
throughout the body.
How are they used ? Internal Uses
Essential oils can also be used as dietary supplements supporting a variety
of healthy conditions.
Some essential oils have powerful antioxidant properties while others help
support healthy inflammatory response in cells.

How Do Essential Oils Affect
Our Minds and Our Emotions?
Essential oils affect our minds and our emotions. All aromas have a
potential emotional impact that can reach deep into the psyche,
both relaxing the mind and uplifting the Spirit.
Our sense of smell is estimated to be 10,000 times more acute than
our other senses and sensitive to some 10,000 chemical compounds.
Once registered, scent travels faster to the brain than either sight or
sound.
Essential Oils and Emotions
Of Science and Anatomy - How Essential Oils Affect Our Minds
When we inhale the fragrance of an essential oil, the odor molecules
travel up the nose where they’re registered by the nerves of the
olfactory membranes in the nose lining.
The odor molecules stimulate this lining of nerve cells and trigger
electrical impulses to the olfactory bulb in the brain.
The olfactory bulb then transmits the impulses to the amygdala -
where emotional memories are stored - and to other parts of the
limbic system of the brain.
Essential Oils and Emotions
SMELL BYPASSES THE BRAINS THINKING CENTERS
• Smell is the only one of the five physical senses that is directly linked to the limbic lobe of
the brain - our emotional control center.
• Feelings of anxiousness, Feeling down, fear, anger, and joy all physically originate from this
region.
• A certain fragrance can evoke memories and emotions before we are even consciously
aware of it.
• When smells are concerned, we react first and think later.
• All other physical senses are routed through the thalamus, which acts as the switchboard
for the brain, passing stimuli onto the cerebral cortex (the conscious thought center) and
other parts of the brain.

“A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.” (Proverbs 17:22)
SO HOW DO WE USE ESSENTIAL OILS TO HELP OUR BODIES?
Essential Oils and Emotions
Balance – To ground you in your own center
Balance is a favorite oil of mine.
The blend is especially good when you feel overwhelmed, scattered,
confused, unstable, ungrounded, off-kilter, or distant from your body,
your loved ones, or life in general. When you’re struggling to be in the
present moment, overstimulated or hyperactive, or overly busy and
having a hard time juggling it all or focusing on priorities.
It contains Spruce, Rosewood, Blue Tansy, and Frankincense. I love this oil
on my feet, over my solar plexus, or aromatically.
Use it in the morning to center yourself before starting the day, and do
like I do: carry it in your pocket or on a keychain throughout the day.
Essential Oils and Emotions
Bergamot – All about the self: self-love, self-acceptance, self-approval
it’s all about the self (little S self, primarily).
I don’t care if you’re struggling with “what others think” or loving your body
or appreciating your unique blend of talents (instead of comparing yourself
to someone you think you “should” be like)
Carry it with you and use in conjunction with affirmations every time a self-
critical thought arises .
Apply it over your solar plexus every morning. Or wrists like me.
Essential Oils and Emotions
Citrus Bliss – To invigorate, relieve and bring about smiles
This yummy oil is beautiful for stress, worry, feeling down, or feeling
nervous. It helps the body to calm the mind and the balances the
emotions. It just makes you HAPPY!
Use it to nurture a sense of playfulness, creativity, energy, spontaneity,
and abundance. So ideal for artists, writers, and other creative
people!
It’ll help you step outside your comfort zone in fun ways, let go of
insecurities and heaviness, and have some fun!
Try diffusing this one throughout your home or office to put everyone
in the happy-happy-joy-joy around you.
You can also apply it to the bottoms or feet or the solar plexus if
you’re not going in the sun.
Essential Oils and Emotions
Clary Sage – For spiritual clarity and openness
Traditionally, clary sage is used for balancing women’s hormones.
Spiritually, clary sage is all about clarity. It’s about being able to see
Truth, and beliefs, and walking in deep wisdom.
Doing this opens us to new paths and potentials, showing us what we
couldn’t see through our own veils, and taking us in the perfect
direction.
It’s especially good when you feel stuck or blocked, unable to decipher
which direction to go, and confused or discouraged as a result.
I use it with meditation, prayers and journaling
Essential Oils and Emotions
Clove – To establish healthy boundaries
This oil may help us to break nasty patterns of laying ourselves out as
doormats, standing ourselves up with confidence (and love), and
speaking our Truth with compassion.
It can help you body to find your own inner strength, to speak up,
say no, state your needs, make requests, and honor your own
boundaries in order to end cycles of victimization and
codependency and establish healthy relationships or end unhealthy
ones.
This can be a strong oil is you have sensitive skin, so diluting might be
necessary. I’d recommend massaging it into the feet to help ground
you, or using it aromatically.
Essential Oils and Emotions
Cypress – For unblocking and clearing emotions
Cypress is about letting go and allowing things to come and go, learning
to allow Life to ebb and flow without blocking it or trying to control it. It
brings bottled up energies to the surface, helping you to DIG IN, process
through it, and release it, and it teaches us to trust the process of Life,
instead of micro-manage it or stuff it.
Cypress is when you are ready for some deep healing. It acts like a
sledgehammer to the emotional damn, letting all that bottled up stuff out.
Try this one over the heart center, or anywhere you feel blocked. Even just
a drop on each big toe every day will do the trick.
Essential Oils and Emotions
Elevation – To lift you out of dark places
This oil truly does elevate you out of deep, dark places. Being down, heaviness,
sadness, It doesn’t remove the problem, so much as lift you up and place you
on top of it with a higher perspective and a weightlessness that will enable you
to address it in healthy ways.
It helps those who take Life too seriously learn to play and let go of the burden
they carry on their shoulders, and it raises vibrations drastically, helping you to
let go of the attachment to those dark places we can sometimes find ourselves
experiencing.
I love this one over my solar plexus, heart, throat, or just inhaling it straight from
the bottle several times.
Try using it aromatically (I sniff this one straight from the bottle) with Balance to
elevate your energy while helping you still keep two feet on the ground.
Essential Oils and Emotions
Frankincense – Spiritual connection with Source/Life
Frankincense is one of the highest vibrational oils I’ve ever
experienced. Some call it the oil of Truth. I think of it as the oil of Spirit.
Meditation, yoga, prayer…all are aligned with frankincense.
This oil reminds us of our source, of the truth of our Self, and connects
us to Divine Love.
It can also support a sense of being loved and lovable, connecting
from our heart, and opening and aligning our chakras. It’s also ideal
for self healing on a cellular level
Apply over the brow, throat, heart, etc. I love to inhale it and layer it
over other oils – especially Wild Orange
Essential Oils and Emotions
Geranium – The oil of feminine and motherly love
This is another oil of the heart, along with Ylang Ylang, but with a focus on love,
trust, and communication of your emotions in healthy ways.
It can help your body to process feelings of anger, fear, distrust, hurt,
abandonment, forgiveness.
It also helps us to connect with ourselves and with others, especially our family of
origin. I see this oil as a very “feminine” oil, especially connecting us to our sisters,
mothers, and grandmothers, and I love it for addressing those relationships.
It’s nurturing, loving, and enveloping, reminding us we can be safe in those
places of love, and safe to receive generous love without suspicion.
I love it over my heart center, or even add it to lotion or baths.
Essential Oils and Emotions
Juniper Berry – Clearing fear and resistance
If you are going to be looking inward, you NEED Juniper Berry. This oil is all
about facing the stuff we’re holding deep within, with confidence and
without fear.
It helps our bodies to release resistance to looking inward with ease, so
that what needs to be revealed can come to the surface and we can give
it the time, space, and energy it needs to be healed.
Try this one over the brow, behind the ears, back of the neck, or diffusing
before Digging Deep or at bedtime.
Essential Oils and Emotions
Lavender – The oil of communication
It is an excellent tonic for the nervous system. It can help the body
to decrease nervous exhaustion and restlessness while increasing
mental activity and relaxation.
Lavender helps the body to encourage emotional honesty. It is
through open and honest communication that love is experienced.
I use this in the diffusor, topically and in baking
Essential Oils and Emotions
Marjoram – For connection and trust
Another heart oil, this one focuses on trusting ourselves and others.
It helps us to identify and own our own emotions and needs, and reach out
to others in safe and healthy ways. It helps us see others with eyes of
compassion, understanding them and the things that may drive them to act
hurtful, while giving us the ability to still offer them our love.
It enables us to access that place within that lets us speak softly, clearly, and
with empathy, while still honoring ourselves and our need to be seen, heard,
and feel safe, and helping us discern when to self-protect and when to open
ourselves to the Love all around us.
I love diffusing this one throughout the day. It creates such an environment
of tenderness and love. You can also apply it to the heart center or inhale
directly from the bottle.
Essential Oils and Emotions
Sandalwood – For meditation and spiritual practice
This oil is so sacred. It’s ideal for meditation, prayer, and any spiritual
practice of connection to your own understanding of Consciousness.
It helps our bodies to release attachments to the veils we hide behind, as
well as the attachments to the things that are holding us back from our
own spiritual.
Use a drop over your brow or aromatically (diffused or straight from the
bottle) and you’ll see what I mean.
Essential Oils and Emotions
Serenity – To calm, soothe, and relax
This is such a calming oil. It’s so perfect for times of stress, anxious, over-
tiredness, and when every cell in your body seems to be wide awake
despite your best efforts.
It’s really helpful to use at night before bed, to stick in the air vent of the
car on long trips, to calm a crying toddler, to soothe fears, or when your
brain just won’t shut off.
It creates peace and harmony in the body and the environment. The
blend contains Lavender, Marjoram, Roman Chamomile, Ylang Ylang,
Sandalwood, and Vanilla Bean.
A couple drops work well over the heart or the feet
Essential Oils and Emotions
Thyme – For releasing, letting go, and forgiveness
Yes, it smells like an Italian kitchen. And you’ll love it. Like Cypress it can help
you release trapped energies, but with an emphasis on unresolved emotions
that you’ve been hanging onto more consciously.
It helps to clear the body of the poisonous emotions that will eat away at us
(like hate, anger, resentment, bitterness), and come to a place of peace
and freedom from their affects.
It’s about being emotionally free of what others are accountable for, so that
you can move forward in your own life. I’d say try this one over your heart as
well as your solar plexus or feet.
Essential Oils and Emotions
White Fir – The oil of generational healing and breaking patterns
We all have generational baggage we carry around us.
White Fir helps us do that. It really doesn’t matter what the pattern is
(physical, emotional, mental, spiritual), this oil helps our bodies to become
conscious of the pattern, uprooting anything that has taken root that no
longer serves us.
It gives your spirit the courage to stand tall and grow in new, forward
directions without condemning or blaming anyone else for what they were
capable of doing.
I like to use this one along my spine (the support center) and my feet.
Essential Oils and Emotions
Wild Orange – The oil of abundance and possibility
In the same way it opens us to receiving, it opens us to giving as well, creating a
free-flowing cycle of generosity in and out of our lives.
It helps us process and drop our limitations, beliefs that keep us stuck or playing
small, and ideas of “not enough” (whether it’s “not enough time” or “not enough
money” or “I’m not good enough”).
It helps you to relax, not take it too seriously and find ways to create and meet your
needs without feeling guilty or feeling stuck.
Diffuse this one in your office, sniff it straight from the bottle, or rub it over your solar
plexus (but not if your belly will be exposed to the sun). I promise you’ll love this oil
Essential Oils and Emotions
Wintergreen – The oil of surrender
This oil can help in allowing the body to surrender - the result can be the
emotional freedom and weightlessness you’re craving
This oil is especially supreme for the micro-managers or control freaks in the
audience, showing us the world really does keep turning without us
running in circles.
it helps our bodies to trust the process of Life to create a natural flow that
far exceeds what we could even fathom, let alone create out of our own
sheer will, good looks, and stubbornness.
I like to use a couple drops of this oil topically, anywhere my body is
holding tension.
Essential Oils and Emotions
Ylang Ylang – The oil of the Heart
Ylang Ylang my favorite Heart Center oil.
It touches a heart that is heavy with stress, despair, grief, or hurt. It helps to
softly and gently dismantle the walls we place around ourselves, and it
shows us how to accessible love, patience, and gentleness really is.
Ylang Ylang also helps us release past trauma, buried emotions, and our
deeper human needs for love and connection.
