Emotional Support Essential Oils for Transitional Stages of Life





Life is full of transitions. Some are so natural we hardly notice. Others are exciting and rewarding and we run through it like a finish line.  Then there are the rough transitions.  No matter what type of journey we are on change can be difficult and full of surprises.

Even just the transition from summer to back to school can be hard. We all need some adjustment time, but we don't always get it.

Our family is on a good journey with lots of wonderful things ahead but it still isn't easy. For me, one of the hardest things about moving to a new state is leaving my amazing community. The second is the time spent in limbo. I am trying to embrace this journey and I am finding my essential oils are very helpful for each stage. 

Here are a few of the many options we have to help support us emotionally while we tackle life!

White Angelica is my "have an amazing day" oil. I apply to the tops of my shoulders, the top of my head, and wrists. I think of it as my force field. :)

This summer Young Living came out with Journey On in memory of Gary Young. 
The Young Living website recommends "Use this inspired blend to be motivated in your personal journey toward whole-life wellness." This would be a home run choice!


 Joy says it all. If you struggle with feeling negative or down. Give yourself the gift of Joy. This one is great worn over the heart or diffused. I have many friends who wear it in place of perfume.
Valor, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...  Wear over your heart,  along the spine,  on your wrists, or in diffuser jewelry.  It helps with feeling bolder, hopeful, purpose-filled. 
 Feeling a bit out of your depth, lots of decisions to make or just uncertain try common sense.  I personally like this one on my temples the back of the brain.
 Time to relax, rest, or just chill out this one will do it. I have used this on our large Airedale Terrier with great results. I rubbed a tiny bit on her paws and let her sniff my hands. Diffuse at night for a better sleep, or apply to your feet. 
 We go through buckets of Stress Away. Apply to the neck and shoulders and sniff, sniff, sniff! I love this diffused with orange for a creamsicle scent. 
 Time to get on with life and quit dwelling in the past. Acceptance is a good one to help us move on. I personally apply over the liver.
Do you need an attitude adjustment? Gratitude may be the place to start. Apply over your heart or on your wrists. 

With all emotional support, we need to change the things we say to ourselves. Some say a mantra that redirects their thinking. I like to find Bible verses to help get my mind and soul back on track when I am sniffing my oil of choice. I will also say my goals or list some things I am thankful for.


Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9

Raindrop Roller

Image
Most of us who have been with Young Living know the amazing benefits of the Raindrop Technique for overall wellness and immune system support.  There is great training available to learn the technique and many videos too.  But in a pinch, this roller is a great item to have in your oily toolkit to keep your family above the wellness line.  Since we have one child with a rare disease who cannot have over the counter meds, this is our only defense. When anyone starts to dip down into illness. This roller comes out. We roll it down our spine and on the bottoms of our feet. I repeat at least 3 times a day. Usually, it only takes a day or two to be back into wellness!

Thyroid Support & Young Living

Image
I did a post for my private Facebook group recently on Thyroid support. That little thyroid sure does affect every part of our bodies! I personally have Hashimoto Thyroiditis. I was diagnosed over 10 years ago. It is hereditary for me and we have many generations with hypothyroidism on my mother's side of the family.  There are many supplements that support the thyroid, but I am going to highlight my personal top 4. 1)Endoflex - supports the entire endocrine system. Apply over the thyroid, adrenal glands, kidneys, liver, vitaflex on feet, can be ingested and diffused. I apply to my thyroid and adrenals (kidney area on my back) morning and night.  2)Sulfurzyme - this is a capsule, I take 1-2 in the morning and night. This supports the entire body, helps the immune system, and joints (includi ng my back!)  3)Thyromin - Another capsule, I take two at night. Developed by Gary Young who no longer has a thyroid. This does not force thyroid to certain levels, it supports

My Version of the Aroma Lift Massage

Image
Be Kind. I know I am not a super model. I simply don't know of a better way to explain the massage than to show you.  So here it is.  What's the big deal? For me it is an overall smooth youthful appearance. I'm less puffy and my skin seems brighter and tighter. But the biggest thing I have noticed is how it helps with the stiffness I would feel in the back of my neck and along my clavicle. When I feel congested or the beginning of a sinus headache this really helps too!  More info below the video. Remember be gentle! We want to reduce fine lines and heavy handed pulling will be counterproductive. :)  I'm using the Aroma Life blend from Young Living.  I put it in a little roller bottle to make it easier to apply.  This is a great blend to use for any lymphatic massage you may want to try. I have used it to support my lymph system when I had some swelling in my ankles too! Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens), marjoram (Origanum majorana), Helichrysum
