Emotional Healing with doTERRA Essential Oils

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:

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 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.
