“Frankincense reveals deceptions and false truths. It invites individuals to let go of lower vibrations, lies, deceptions and negativity. This oil helps create new perspectives based on light and truth. Frankincense recalls to memory spiritual understanding, gifts, wisdom and knowledge the soul brought into the world.”
It is also one of the oils in the Peaceful Blend. As is the next oil.
Described by Daniel McDonald as the Oil of Communication.
“Lavender aids verbal expression. It calms the insecurities that are felt when one risks their truth thoughts and feelings… Lavender encourages emotional honesty and insists that one speak their innermost thoughts and desires. As individuals learn to communicate their deepest thoughts and feelings, they are liberated from their self-inflicted prison. It is through open and honest communication that an individual experiences unconditional love and acceptance. Through Lavender’s courageous spirit, one if free to share their True Self with others.”
It is important to note that some people can notice what appears to be regression when they first start to work with the oils on an emotional level, it is important to understand that it is a process and that when we start working with the oils trapped negative emotions must be released before we can receive the more positive feelings.
As noted in Daniel McDonald’s book Emotions & Essential Oils “The old must go to make space for the new. We often want to skip this step, but it is a necessary one. We must be willing to experience the cleansing if we truly desire healing. Resisting the cleansing process makes healing more painful. We must surrender to the experience so that we may continue on the path of healing. The more we let go and trust, the more enjoyable this healing process can be.”
So if you are finding you don’t have INSTANT success it may be worth persevering for a while, as well as of course trying different oils and blends as there isn’t one perfect oil or blend for all, as always different things resonate and work for different people and children.
DAILY USE MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY will be more effective than just using randomly or after a meltdown has already occurred. Although this can be helpful too!
