I'm
thrilled to share information from a fantastic post on miracleoils.ca as well
as the link to an insightful presentation by Daniel McDonald about emotional
and spiritual healing with doTERRA essential oils (link to video here).
Daniel
McDonald is the author of the book, Emotional Healing with Essential Oils
(link
to purchase here), which I highly recommend. He teaches
about how essential oils not only heal on a physical level, but they also have
the ability to heal on emotional and spiritual levels as well. Essential
oils vibrate at a higher energy than the human body and help to increase one's
vibrational level.
Healing
the whole Self: body, mind and remembering our connection with Spirit is
consistent with many people's personal spiritual views and I'm grateful to be
able to share what essential oils can do to help with this process.
According
to Daniel McDonald, there are 5 stages of healing which take place in just
about every circumstance:
1.
Physical healing
2.
Healing the heart
3.
Releasing limiting beliefs
4.
Increase spiritual awareness and connection
5.
Inspire the fulfillment of our life's purpose
As we
use essential oils to heal our physical bodies and ailments, an emotional
and spiritual healing can occur as well. Our bodies are being allowed to
completely heal from the inside out, which differs from the medical healing
that only addresses symptoms and doesn't always cure the source of our physical
ailments.
Some
examples of how essential oils can help with emotional healing that is covered
in the presentation include:

with self-worth.

Guard is another protective blend that would be good for this purpose).

Clove –
“The Oil of Boundaries”
“Clove
is especially helpful in breaking free of patterns of abuse by restoring the
victim’s sense of self and helping them regain the strength to stand up for
their needs. Clove insists that we live true to ourselves and the Divine
by establishing clear boundaries.”
Cilantro —
“The Oil of Loyalty & Release”
Similar
to Coriander essential oil, Cilantro oil invites us to live true to ourselves.
Cilantro has powerful emotional-cleansing properties, which assist us in the
process of “releasing.” It also assists us in shedding whatever is not in
harmony with the True Self. By releasing what is incongruent, Cilantro
encourages us to listen and follow our inner guidance.
OnGuard
Blend – “The Oil of Protection”
OnGuard
protects us from harmful energies and influences. This blends protective
qualities extend beyond the physical level by aiding us in warding off
unhealthy connections such as: co-dependency, parasitic relationships, or
negative “group thought.”
Thyme –
“The Oil of Releasing & Forgiving”
Thyme
empties the heart of negativity by cleansing feelings of anger and resentment.
It increases our tolerance and patience for others. Thyme restores the wounded
heart to its natural state of love and forgiveness.
Zendocrine
Blend – “The Oil of Transition”
Zendocrine
assists us in letting go of patterns or issues that no longer serve us. It is
incredibly helpful when we want to make a serious change in lifestyle or break
a bad habit.
