When you look forward to the coming holiday season and to the new year, do you feel hopeful about your future?
For some, this season of festivity is a time of light and celebration and family gatherings.
For others, this season may bring heavy and challenging feelings into sharper focus.
We might feel lonely and find ourselves longing for greater connection with old friends or family members. Perhaps we are facing the pangs of grief and loss, intensified by observing these yearly traditions without our loved ones.
They say that time heals all wounds…but I don’t believe that time alone is the best remedy.
As I look back at the challenges that I’ve faced in my own life, I realize that my capacity to remain open is what really sustained me through the most difficult times. My willingness to sit with my discomfort is part of what “grew my emotional muscles” and allowed me to transcend it. That willingness stemmed from deep dives into personal growth work, AND my use of the incredible plant-based medicine that is found in dōTERRA essential oils.
I’m sure you’re aware that it does little good to remain in a state of defensiveness or worry, repeating old emotional cycles. However, interrupting our own unhelpful patterns is often easier said than done.
Since aromatherapy is such a fantastic tool for emotional vitality, I’ve created an oil blend to help us aspire to new possibilities! You can use this as you look ahead to the new year and all that you are creating and dreaming of, and you can use this throughout the year whenever you need that little reminder to remain open and hopeful.
Tikvah is the Hebrew word for ‘hope’, and that’s what this roller bottle blend is meant to evoke in ourselves and others!
In a 10ml roller, add:
10 drops Align ~ centering, encourage ease, boldness, hope
7 drops Arise ~ enlightening, release of lower level vibration & thoughts, transformation to your best self
7 drops Cheer ~ uplifting, learning to celebrate, seeing new possibilities
6 drops Elevation ~ joyful, processing great change, open heartedness
4 drops Siberian Fir ~ limitless, bold, powerful, secure, generational healing
3 drops Clary Sage ~ fearless creation, boldness, courage, feminine energy
Top with Fractionated Coconut Oil & love!
You can use this essential oil blend as a “purefume”, or simply apply it as desired whenever you’re facing a situation where emotions are running high.
This blend also makes an excellent and thoughtful gift to give to friends and family in your life when they’re feeling challenged (or challenging us)!
If you feel like you need some extra support around your emotional wellbeing at this time of year, please make sure you’ve downloaded my Essentials of Emotional Vitality mini course.
This three-part audio series features a plethora of suggestions and science, from aromatherapy to gut health and nutrition, companioned with a gorgeous downloadable eBook for you to refer to.
Regardless of what the past has brought us…we still retain the power to keep our eyes on the horizon and moving forward.
When we’re able to remain hopeful and optimistic about the future, we can cultivate strength – and aspire to become more fully realized versions of ourselves.
Let’s welcome 2019 with open arms and climb to even greater heights together!
