Did you know there are five stages? Me neither. But once I learned that all emotions are chemical messengers throughout the body. Chemical messengers that have real impacts and effects on our physical wellbeing, I was hooked!
At first I was only about the physical healing of essential oils. After all, it was what I could see or directly feel so I thought this was the only thing there was. I quickly dismissed all the talk about emotions and essential oils and emotions. Little did I know I was stuck in stage one and hadn't quite grown to stage two just yet.
Enough time and enough learning the hard way and I was finally ready to open my brain at least to the possibility that one could take control over their emotions instead of allowing their emotions to control them.
I was definitely in the latter part of the above sentence. I wore my emotions on my sleeve and for the first 26 years of my life I only knew two emotions-anger and happiness. And it was considered weird in my circle at the time to be "happy" all the time. That only left me with one other option. But I didn't like being angry all the time, so then what? What could I do? How could I be? These seemingly small questions led me on quite the journey over the past decade or so.
This was a bit before the internet was really the "internet' of today. So somehow God directed a list of emotions to cross my hand. This was exactly what I needed. A list that was longer than two emotions. A list that gave me options. Now if only I could choose which emotion I wanted, but in my limited capacity I was under the impression that the emotion had to choose me. When xyz comes into play, then I'll be happy. When I lose this much weight, then I will be content. When I get that next promotion, then I will feel supported. When I move to that house, then I'll feel successful. Are you getting the trend here? Constantly chasing the do, then have, then Be. Little did I know, life doesn't work that way.
After tiredlessly chasing, I finally got this national award for my work in Environmental Sustainability with Reservations across the Midwest. My work and ideas was awarded out of 70,000 others. There I sat. I had finally proved myself to myself and now what? There had to be more to this human experience than chasing all of these awards, promotions, houses, cars, money, status. Because once I had this, I still felt hollow. What the heck?
It was in that moment I decided. I had to chase my dreams and leave my career I had built with the Federal Government. This other path is where I truly feel aligned, led, and if I didn't I knew I would regret it. This led me to my next teacher who taught me, life is really about be. do. then have. I had the equation backwards all along. Be=your thoughts, feelings, beliefs.....all things I hadn't paid any attention to my entire life.
Let these 5 stages be your guide to being that of who you wish to become:
Essential oils first assist in healing the physical body.
Then they assist in healing the heart.
After that they assist in releasing the limiting beliefs you've held on to. Those stuck in your subconscious. Likely entered before your 11th birthday. Those thoughts that have held you back this far.
From there the oils increase your spiritual awareness and connection.
And finally they inspire the fulfillment of your life's purpose.
There a many websites out there designated for the physical healing properties of the oils. You'll find some of that information here as well. But since that is so readily available and I found it harder to find information for the next steps. You'll find more information on steps 2-5 here.
And of course if ever you find yourself wondering what oil to use for something physical, I'm your gal for that too. With two kiddos under the age of 3 on our active Alaskan Homestead, oils for physical healing is a daily endeavor at our house.
I got you! Just let me know!
