Essential oils have the unique ability to help relax the body, mind, and spirit. They can help balance healthy emotions. Aromatic plant extracts have been scientifically proven to quickly and directly stimulate the limbic system of our brains - the emotional control center. Scents whether they're pleasant or not have been found to have an effect on our moods. The area of the brain responsible for our sense of smell known as The Olfactory System is wired directly to the Limbic System of our brain and is highly involved in emotion. The limbic system is a group of related structures that help regulate emotion, memory, and certain aspects of movement. It is also called the LIBRARIAN of the brain because it is responsible for determining which memories are stored and where. If we ignore emotional health, it is very difficult to enjoy optimum physical health as they are closely interconnected.
Everyday ~sometimes multiple times a day~ I like to use what I call the SERENITY TRIO PROTOCOL. It uses Stress Away, Joy, & Valor to help balance emotions in 3 easy steps! 1. Stress Away on my wrists (can also apply to neck, temples, & feet if you want cause you can never have too much!) Stress Away is an emotionally balancing oil that is relaxing and comforting bringing feelings of peace and tranquility. 2. Valor on back of neck (at the brainstem area called the Occipital Triangle) you can substitute Valor II. Valor is a balancing blend that helps to promote feelings of strength and self-confidence it also helps aid focus and attention. 3. Joy over my heart (thymus) Joy is an uplifting blend helps to boost your mood with its calming properties that helps to promote peace and ease nerves. Apply all 3 consecutively multiple times throughout the day as needed while saying a positive affirmation, a short prayer (Serenity prayer), or a bible verse can really help you get through what seems like an impossible day. Many people also add in Peace & Calming as a 4th step. I am so thankful to have found these AMAZING drops of liquid gold! They have changed my family's life forever!
