Emotional Clearing with Essential Oils
Negative experiences and ideas are recorded in our brains and locked into our memories throughout our lives. These memories range from mild to extreme and have a profound effect on our health and happiness. In order to become who we are intended to be, we must erase these negatives and reprogram our thoughts to make positive ideas our reality. — D. Gary Young
Do you feel that you are repeating the same emotional issues over and over in your life? Does life appear to you as a series of events that continue to happen to you? As humans, we are easily programmed by our parents, siblings and other family members, teachers, friends, those you work with, as well as by the media. Underneath the surface of our being, we each truly want to belong and be appreciated, and know that we matter in this world. And one way is to be free in communicating how we are feeling to each other. You do have a choice but if you always do what you've always done — you'll always get what you've always got!
Do you remember the song made famous by Barry Manilow — Feelings, Nothing More Than Feelings... Little did we know he hit the nail on the head! How many times have you made the decision to not deal with your feelings, consciously or unconsciously, or feel or express your feelings? Or are you overly sensitive to the point where feeling your feelings is overwhelming and as a result, you hold them inside? Eventually, these feelings will surface again, either in the form of a reaction to a situation or in the form of a dis-ease held within the cells of your body.
As scientists have studied to understand the neural basis of emotions, they have discovered
that the limbic system of the brain plays a vital role in interpreting and channeling intense experience, particularly memories of fear or trauma. Interestingly, the two parts of the limbic system which play a major role in emotional processing, the amygdala and the hypothalamus, are located less than an inch from the olfactory nerve. Did you know that the limbic system contains 10,000 to 100,000 times more information than sight, taste and touch combined?!
In 1989, researchers agreed that the amygdala, one on each side of the inner brain, play a
major role in storing and releasing emotional trauma and that aromas have a profound effect in
triggering responses from the amygdala. Joseph Ledoux, MD of New York Medical University was
one of the first to suggest that the use of aroma could be a major breakthrough in helping to
trigger the release of pent-up emotional trauma. Discover more about our limbic system and aromatherapy.
Why wait until a situation becomes painful and experience trauma when we have the tools to clear old emotional patterns and scars easily with therapeutic grade essential oils. You may not even be aware of the underlying emotions that are keeping you stuck in your life experiences; using these oils on a daily basis will help you to clear the issue(s), by unlocking the DNA so the emotional baggage can be cleared from the cellular memory.
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 sytem (including both the sympathetic and parasympathetic 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. — Essential Oils Integrative Medical Guide

Thought equals frequency. Essential oils absorb our thoughts. They are registered in the oils as intent. Intent is directed energy. When you apply an intent-energized oil on your feet they can saturate all of your cells within 60 seconds, stimulating creative thinking and pushing negative energy out of the cells, thus increasing the frequencies of the cells throughout the body. In that uplifted state you can create a new desire to be better tomorrow. You have no limitations but those you choose to accept. — Gary Young
