I have committed myself to updating my blog every week, but I have to admit that today as I look out and see the cherry blossoms starting to bud right outside my window the last thing I feel like is work.
Spring is a wonderful time for renewal, for rebirth, for clearing out the old and moving forward and I find that I am very much in that mode right now. There are some wonderful essential oils that are very helpful for letting go and moving forward. Here are a couple of examples:
Orange - Citrus aurantium var. amara (Bitter Orange), Citrus sinensis (Sweet Orange)
Orange helps to dispel negativity from the aura. It also dispels negative thought patterns. Orange brings in positive energy. It nourishes the soul with joy and moves stagnated energy. It promotes self-confidence, courage and creativity. It also promotes joy in sexuality and joyful love. Orange can help one to expel any negative feelings one might be holding in one’s heart or soul. Orange can be used to attract good fortune and luck. Orange is often added to purification blends. Orange can help to conquer fears of letting go as well as obsessions.
Generally considered non-toxic, non-irritating and non-sensitizing however as with most expressed oils it can be phototoxic and if used on the skin do not expose skin to sun or UV rays for 12 hours after use.
Thyme - Thymus vulgaris
Thyme relieves fear and apathy. It can help to clear energy blockages. It also promotes self-confidence and courage. It may help to re-orient and re-activate the left-brain after a subtle energy session without hindering the deep processing that will continue in the subtle bodies. It promotes focus and concentration. It helps to restore spiritual fortitude. Thyme can be helpful to those who have been separated from the world (especially in an extended retreat) to re-enter and return. It also helps one to eliminate old habit patterns that may still be clinging on. It is strengthening and energizing. Only use in low dilutions as it can be a strong skin irritant.
