Favorite Oils for Living With Intention
/
Living from the heart, remaining in presence, grounded in our deepest soul intentions - requires daily renewal of our commitment and a moment-to-moment effort. To fully inhabit our feelings and bodies takes years of practice to master. I find that using essential oils daily feels deeply deeply good - and when I feel good, I am much better at being generous and spacious in my heart and the ways I show up to each moment.
Essential oils raise our vibration - from negative patterns, into greater possibility. I have found that in my healing journey, plant medicine and essential oils became truly powerful allies. Here is a list of my personal top three oils that I feel instantly shift my state, open my being, soften my nervous system and lift my heart. Everyone's top 3 will be different and will change with time. But these are my current ones:
#1 Neroli:
This is my "signature" oil - I've been using it daily for months now and it doesn't get old. It is like having the presence of a wise soul walking beside me wherever I go, reminding me of my own beauty, worthiness and divine nature. Neroli softens the places that have hardened in my soul out of fear, trauma or the simple anxieties of life. It surprises me that it continues to be my most softest sacred friend even after so many months. I treasure this oil highly!
#2 Cedarwood:
My next loyal companion is cedarwood. I won't leave the house without it. I like to apply it in my lower back/ kidney area, and also on any trouble spots in my skin, and in my hair. Cedarwood is GROUNDING. It's exactly like having a great big vast ancient powerful tree give you a hug and hold you throughout your day. Cedarwood grounds me in my own strength, gives my airy spirit support, and is invaluable in combating anxiety and spaceyness. It also just smells sacred, forresty and divine.
#3 Immortelle:
Immortelle is doTERRA's Anti-Aging blend. It's designed to lessen the presence of fine lines and wrinkles and can be used on the face, neck, under the eyes (my favorite!) and any trouble spots on the skin. Personally though, I use this blend because of how magical it is in terms of giving me an experience of the sublime. Containing oils of Frankincense, Hawaiian Sandalwood, Lavender Flower, Myrrh Gum Resin, Helichrysum Flower and Rose Flower - there is nothing quite like it. What's also beautiful about this blend is that it is super concentrated - so I like to split the roller bottle in half and dilute with fractionated coconut oil and I have double the amount and it lasts forever. I can't say enough about how amazingly special and precious this oil is. Otherwordly is the experience that comes to mind.
with love,
