"The nobility of man is in his constant struggle with his own unasked-for existence in a world that is a house of mirrors - his sole support, and his faith in the process of life itself." Power vs. Force by David R. Hawkins, M.D.,Ph.D

The best experience I have had so far has been a marked improvement in a severe anxiety disorder that I have suffered from for years. The last 3 years it has been debilitating, causing social phobias, cognitive impairment, memory loss, anxiety attacks, numerous effects on other areas of health, a reclusive lifestyle and eventually led to the inability to live in my house with only my baby. It has affected so many areas of my life it would be impossible to recount them all. My baby and I finally moved in with my parents about 7 months ago and have stayed with little hope that I could return to my home. Approximately a week after starting my oils I realized one night that I had been planning to return home for a few days without terror overcoming me. This in itself was a true miracle. I can't find the words to express what it felt like to know that the terror had dissipated, that my daughter and I could go home and begin our new lives together. Now I have the ability to remain calm with my daughter instead of overreacting because of my anxiety. Her life is and will continue to be so much better now that her mommy is so much more grounded.

I have been using the everyday oils plus Progressence Plus. I use copious amounts of Joy. Somehow the oils have been able to manage a condition that had not improved despite years of medications, therapy, books, prayers, hospitalizations and unfortunately a dozen sessions of ECT. Many more efforts to get well that I won't bore you with. That night, the realization of my measurable improvement made me a believer. I tell everyone I know about what oil have done for me.

My income is very limited because I'm physically disabled so I only have disability to live on. I will continue to use the oils anyhow because they are not frivolous spending. I consider them to be part of my medical expenses and just as important as my continued treatment with any doctor. The health of my two-year-old and myself is of the utmost importance so there's no question about budgeting for our oils. They are necessary to our well being.

Peace be with you!

There are many essential oils/oil blends to choose from to assist emotions. In fact, every essential oil exerts emotional energy.

At the 2014 Internation Convention, Young Living introduced 2 collections for emotions:

• • Freedom Release Collection - for those suffering from negative life experiences

  • Reconnect Collection - for those wanting to release negative emotions and reconnect to their surroundings

I attached pages from the Essential Oils Desk Reference Desk below for comprehensive information.

For my experience notes, please read on.

My knowledge-thirsty class,

I have not abandoned you. I was busy working on the therapeutic grade essential oils protocols for pregnancy and edema, and putting together a new blog on a big subject – using therapeutic grade essential oils for emotions. So let’s dive in.

According to Bruce Lipton, PhD “your mind’s perception of the world changes your biology, the chemistry of your body, which changes your cells” (Bruce Lipton ' The Power Of Consciousness' ).

It is remarkable to observe, how quickly you can get well when you are happy. Both, my son and I, observed quick and amazing changes in our health when we’re happy. Just last Friday night I had a cone of frozen yogurt, which I normally don’t have for dietary reasons. However, that night I wanted to relax and just enjoy myself. And guess what - a health problem I was having the whole week, evaporated into a thin air, just like that! I was smart this time, and when I got home took 1 drop of Ocotea to lower the sugar content in my body. http://eugeniyamusic.blogspot.com/2014/04/do-not-underestimate-power-of-joy.html

You might also enjoy reading The emotional Life Of Your Brain by Richard J.Davidson, Ph.D. with Sharon Begley on the same subject and many other very exciting findings and research.

Gary Young has yet another angle to look at our mind and emotions.

It’s just an old wisdom:

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought." Buddha

"As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." James Allen

Many other factors effect our emotions, like the foods we eat. Many years ago, to be a good mom, I gave up bread, which was making me tired. On the other hand, I learned that when you have negative emotions, different organs get stressed out, and you don’t feel well no matter what you eat. For example, when under stress, adrenals release too much harmful hormones, stomach produces too much acid, anger produces black bile, etc. (Read more here: Your Backup Brain

In Molecules of Emotion written by Candace B.Pert, Ph.D., forwarded by Deepak Chopra, M.D., the author explains that "if our emotions are blocked due to denial, repression, or trauma, then blood flow can become chronically constricted, depriving the frontal cortex, as well as other organs, of vital nourishment. ... As a result, you may become stuck - unable to respond freshly to the world around you, repeating old patterns of behavior and feeling that are responses to an outdated knowledge base."

Negative and unresolved, stored in our body emotions, simply put, if not released, make us sick. If you pay close attention to your body, you would notice how you start getting sick. If you don't do anything about it, you might feel worse with time.

There are different ways to release and to assist our body dealing with negative emotions. I remember after my mom passed away, in 2002, for a very long time I carried a lot of memories about her suffering, and a sense of guilt. I went for a Jin Shin Do session to relieve my stress. While the practitioner pressed on different parts of my body, those heavy memories re-surfaced, poured out of me, and I cried it all out. My neck did not feel stiff anymore, and I smiled for the first time in a long time. If I knew about essential oils then, I would have helped myself and my family go thru these difficult times, as I did in December of 2011 my mother-in-law.

"The nodal point used for bodymind is the frontal cortex, a part of the brain that is rich in peptides and receptors. Also known as the forebrain, the frontal cortex is unique to humans and sits behind the forehead. It is the location for all the higher cognitive functions, such as planning for the future, making decisions, and formulating intentions to change. In humans, this part of the brain does not fully develop until some time in the early twenties.

Blood flow is closely regulated by emotional peptides, which signal receptors on blood vessel walls to constrict or dilate, and so influence the amount and velocity of blood flowing through them from moment to moment. For example, people turn "white as a sheet" when they hear shocking news, or "beet red" when they become enraged."

It is nothing new that the way we feel affects our health. It is interesting to learn though, that 95% of how we feel has nothing to do with our conscious mind - our subconscious thoughts and memories stored in our body are in control. Read more here.

Center for emotions, memory and learning, the limbic system, is located behind the forehead and is directly connected to the central nervous system.

“The limbic system (or Paleomammalian brain) is a set of brain structures which support a variety of functions including emotion, behavior, motivation, long term memory, and sense of smell… The limbic system operates by influencing the endocrine system and the autonomic nervous system. Cingulate gyrus:[4][5][6] is one of the parts of the limbic lobe. Its autonomic functions regulate heart rate, blood pressure and cognitive and attentional processing.” Watch these videos: video1 video2.

Our sense and memory of smell is the quickest and the strongest of our senses, 10,000 times stronger than other senses. Therapeutic grade essential oils generate “responses to the odors we smell in mere seconds. Due to this rapid response, sometimes the compound found in the lowest concentration can generate the strongest effects, yet these effects will always materialize in the most harmless form; sensitivity is increased and the subconscious moves closer to the focal point of consciousness. Inhibitions, created by culture and education, are lowered and instincts are sharpened” ” (Aromatherapy course by Dr. Kurt Schnaubelt)

Effects of essential oils are stimulant, exalting (stimulant + erogenous), erogenous, sultry (erogenous + narcotic), narcotic, calming (narcotic + anti-erogenous), refreshing (anti-erogenous + stimulant), and anti-erogenous, depending on the composition of the oil. For example, oils with the fragrance of Linalyl acetate are cleansing or refreshing (like citrus and needle-tree odors), and are used in bath salts, toothpaste, detergents, etc. “”Soft” odors do not inherently produce a reaction, rather they induce or increase a tendency to relax or to be receptive to feelings. Ultimately, these odors may produce “narcotic” effects through their pathways to the central nervous system (CNS). Due to the minute quantities involved, these effects are subtle, yet they occur at the moment a fragrance is smelled.” (Aromatherapy course by Dr. Kurt Schnaubelt)

Inhaling therapeutic grade essential oils can assist us in overcoming anxiety, anger, depression, fear and other negative emotions, bring us a sense of joy and confidence, creating harmonious state of mind, thereby allowing our body to regain a healthy balance.

· For fear, for example, you can use Bergamot or Clary sage (very popular in South America), or my favorite Young Living blend Valor.

• Both Basil and Bergamot can banish shyness and self-doubt, and give you renewed faith in your abilities.

• For depression, Frankincense and Valor are great

• Concentration – “Dr. William N. Dember of the University of Cincinnati studied peppermint's ability to improve concentration and mental sharpness. Alan Hirsch MD studied peppermint's ability to directly affect the brain's satiety center, which triggers a sensation of fullness after meals.” Young Living

• For grief – I had good results using Release and Trauma Life (Ylang ylang (Cananga odorata), lavandin (Lavandula x hybrida), geranium (Pelargonium graveolens), sandalwood (Santalum album) and blue tansy (Tanacetum annuum) in a base of olive oil.

• Irritability – Lavender, Peace and Calming

• For postpartum, Progessence Plus Serum is very effective at balancing hormones. Read more...

Every essential oil has a whole multitude of effects due to its chemical components.

“The oil of Juniper (Juniperus communis) of the Cupressaceae family, for example, is a diuretic and detoxifying agent for a body laden with too much alcohol or food. It regulates the appetite and is a tonic for the kidneys and liver. Wanda Sellar claims, “tis ability to throw off poisons by purifying the blood.. and eliminating uric acid … in cases of arthritis, rheumatism, and gout” made it a valuable oil. Mentally, Juniper clears and stimulates thoughts, especially in challenging situations.

Zenobia, the Syrian Queen of the Palmyrene Empire, would have enjoyed the effect of the [clove] oil in her military and intellectual pursuits. She would sprinkle a few drops of Clove oil into her bath water and sometimes on her food. It gave her a tingling feeling of strength and health.” (from Awaken to Healing Fragrance by Elizabeth Anne Jones)

From Essential Oils Desk Reference

Jasmine** (Jasminum officinale) has a warm, exotic, floral fragrance that relaxes, soothes, uplifts, and enhances self-confidence. Jasmine is beneficial for the skin. It has been used throughout history for romance and attraction and for balancing the feminine energy of the body.

Ylang ylang (Cananga odorata) has a sweet, soft, flowery fragrance that has made it a romantic favorite. In Indonesia, the petals are often strewn across a marriage bed. Ylang ylang is extremely effective in calming and bringing about a sense of relaxation, and it may help with releasing feelings of anger, tension, and nervous irritability.

Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) has a wonderfully uplifting, calming, flowery scent. It is excellent for the skin, and its aromatic influence helps release negative memories.

You can also apply therapeutic grade essential oils externally and take internally (only therapeutic grade essential oils can be taken internally).

Applying Young Living oils on the spine, called a Raindrop Technique, has a powerful healing effect on the body and mind.

Today, we live in a society of emotional turmoil. There is more focus on emotional behavior and psychological conditions of the body now than at any time in our history. Many doctors are recognizing the possibility that a number of diseases are caused by emotional problems that link back to infancy and perhaps even to the womb.

These emotional problems may have compromised our immune system or genetic structuring, causing children to become allergic to something that the mother ingested while pregnant.

Essential oils play an important role in assisting people to move beyond these emotional barriers. The aldehydes and esters of certain essential oils are very calming and sedating to the central nervous system (including both the sympathetic and para¬sympathetic systems).

These substances allow us to relax instead of letting anxiety build up in our body. Anxiety creates an acidic condition that activates the transcript enzyme which then transcribes that anxiety on the RNA template and stores it in the DNA. That emotion then becomes a predominant factor in our lives from that moment on.

When we encounter an emotionally charged situation, instead of being overwhelmed by it, we can diffuse essential oils, put them in our bath, or wear them as cologne.

The aromatic molecules will absorb into the bloodstream from the nasal cavity to the limbic system. They will activate the amygdala (the memory center for fear and trauma) and sedate and relax the sympathetic/para¬sympathetic system.

Essential oils help support the body in minimizing the acid that is created so that it does not initiate a reaction with the transcript enzyme. Because essential oils affect the amygdala and pineal gland in the brain, they can help the mind and body by releasing emotional trauma and sharpening focus.

People have many distractions in today’s fast-paced world. Essential oils may assist people to stay centered in their goals. Those who are struggling to retain or remember information can breathe the essential oils of peppermint, cardamom, or rosemary to stimulate the brain and memory functions for better concentration.

Those who find it difficult to stay focused can breathe the essential oils of galbanum, frankincense, sandalwood, and melissa. These oils are extremely beneficial for clarifying one’s purpose. The blend Gathering will also bring focus to people’s minds.

For emotional clearing and release, the combination of essential oils called Trauma Life is especially helpful.
