Do You Have a Favourite?
Are you drawn to certain essential oils, whilst the scents of other oils can be repulsive?
Did you know that the power of smell is one of the most powerful and has a role linked to your memory receptors?
Our emotions can be linked in with our memories as well as visuals and thoughts. This can be a complex web and sometimes if a smell is strong enough at the time of the memory being created it can be used to recall information. Think of your favourite food recipe and you can probably smell it just by thinking about it.
A reason for being drawn to an oil can be a way to release stored emotions, especially if they haven't been stored 'effectively' and are causing the same patterns to repeat themselves in your life. We can be drawn to situations in life that feel similar as we attempt to learn the lessons attached to the emotion. If we can make peace with that emotion, then it's lesson becomes complete, and we can move on to the next lesson. There are more than 77 pathways we must master in this lifetime and the cycles continue then at a different level so that we are are always continually growing and evolving.
It is up to use whether we want to stay 'stuck' on any particular emotion/challenge or whether we want to move on to the next one.
Some people choose to stay with a set of emotions that allow them to feel comfortable as even though they might cause them pain, they are at least familiar.
Others choose to work through the pain, seeking new and different experiences and in doing so speed up their emotional maturity and evolution on this earth plane.
Sometimes we are can get stuck on a particular lesson whilst breezing through another.
How do you feel you are travelling in life at this moment? Are you stuck in an addictive loop or just repeating a pattern over and over?
It may be time to work with essential oils, or look deeper into the current oils that you are attracted to.
Often it's the smell of the oil that draws us in, or maybe the name if it's a blend ... or even the frequency it emits.
I know that I have a box full of over 70 oils plus some roll-on ones and I am known to walk up to the box to see which oil I am drawn to, like a magnet, to wear that oil for the day or to support a problem I may be experiencing at that time. I always find it fascinating that if you then go and look into it's meaning, it is usually spot on for what was needed most in that moment.
There is a belief that the plant kingdom of the earth and nature itself holds all of the remedies of all of the dis-ease that we humans have issues with - whether they be physical, mental, emotional or spiritual ailments - the answer is already here. Not forgetting that sometimes the answer does come in death as is a part of the natural cycle.
As we currently live in a world of duality - there cannot be light without dark, there cannot be a question without an answer, there cannot be a heat without cold. Therefore, there can be no dis-ease without a remedy. And where better to place these remedies than in the world of abundant nature that we are literally surrounded by.
