Do you need to release some negative emotions?

Moods & emotions are very unique to each individual. Because of this, a list of oils are grouped with each mood so you can personalise a blend that is best for you and how you are feeling.

For each of the below 'Release' protocols, choose 3 oils from the list, add 3-4 drops of these oils into a 10ml roller bottle and top with Fractionated Coconut Oil.

Apply to the back of the neck and over your heart. Roll on hands, cup and inhale.

Repeat the positive Affirmation as you let your negative emotions go!

Practice these 'release' protocols 2-3 times daily.

Stay tuned for 'Embrace' mood protocols.

🦶 HERE ARE FIVE REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD GET RUBBING ESSENTIAL OILS ON YOUR FEET.
1. The soles of our feet have much larger pores than the rest of our body. This means they act a little like oversized straws, sucking up the health-giving compounds in the oils and quickly feeding them into our bloodstream.
2.The soles of the feet and the palms of the hand are the only parts of our body that do not produce sebaceous glands.
Sebum is an oily compound that prevents the body from absorbing any substance. The fact that the palms and the soles do not secrete sebum shows that these areas of your body will quickly absorb oil.
3. Reflexology! It is a known fact that every nerve line in our body ends in the feet. It is scientifically shown that each foot has 7,200 nerve endings. According to reflexology, the big toe is connected to the brain and head. The next two toes are related to the eyes, while the next two toes represent the ears. The top third of the sole is our chest while the mid third is our digestive system and stomach. As you can see, our feet represent our entire body, so it is no wonder why it is of utmost importance to apply oils to our feet!
4. Less Irritation And Sensitivities
Using foot application increases the safety, since this reduces the risk of skin irritation and sensitivities. The skin on the soles of the feet is known to be less sensitive compared to the skin throughout the rest of our body. This allows us to use even oregano, thyme, and citrus oil without diluting them first.
5. When you are applying oil on the foot, the applied oil will be bypassing the liver. This means that the oil will not accumulate there. The oil reaches the lower bronchial capillaries through the circulatory system and the whole organism, instead of being processed by the liver.
HAVE YOU TRIED AN OILY FOOT MASSAGE ON YOURSELF?
It’s my all time favourite thing to do!
Don’t forget your big toe too!

I often get asked "can I use essential oils internally?'
This can be quite controversial. Everyone has their own thoughts on this.
What I do say is do your own research.
Read information from reputable websites.
Consult with your health professional.
Speak to a qualified Aromatherapist.
It's completely up to you.
Here is a great little read from doTERRA:

When it comes to using essential oils, there are a few safety guidelines you’ll want to abide by. Here are some practices for safe essential oil usage -
Always read the labels. Pay attention to any specific warnings on your essential oil packaging and adhere to any recommendations provided by the manufacturer.
Avoid certain areas. Avoid putting oils into your nose, inner ears, eyes, broken skin, or other sensitive areas.
Dilute oils. To minimise skin sensitivity, dilute essential oils using a carrier oil like fractionated coconut oil. The suggested dilution ratio is one drop of essential oil to five drops of carrier oil. Always dilute an oil when using it for the first time, applying it to sensitive skin, or when using essential oils with children. When using oils with a particularly strong chemistry, you will want to dilute one drop of essential oil to ten drops of carrier oil.
Know your strong oils. Some essential oils should always be diluted with fractionated coconut oil before putting them on your skin. Some of these oils include Cassia, Cinnamon Bark, Clove, Oregano, and Thyme. This is not an exhaustive list, so always pay attention to labels warnings.
Be careful of sun sensitivity. Some essential oils can pose a risk for sun sensitivity, particularly citrus oils. Some of these oils include Bergamot, Green Mandarin, Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime, Tangerine, Wild Orange, and any essential oil blends that contain these oils. Again, this is not an exhaustive list. Avoid direct sunlight or UV rays for at least 12 hours following the use of these oils on the skin.
Make sure to store essential oils out of reach of children. You’ll also want to keep your oils away from excessive light or heat, as this can alter the chemical properties of an essential oil significantly.
TALK TO A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL. IF YOU HAVE SPECIFIC HEALTH CONCERNS, CONSULT WITH YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE USING ESSENTIAL OILS.

I've noticed recently that I am planning holidays with the kids to places I loved as a kid.
So the thought crossed my mind, am I reliving my youth, or am I sharing places familiar that feel like home?
I'm curious, do you take your children on holidays to places you enjoyed as a kid? 👇
