[9:18] 5 Stages of Healing
EOs assist in healing the physical body: some oils are 40-60 times more potent than herbs. As we know herbs, and oils, have been part of health and healing for centuries. They have been known to assist the body in purifying organs, glands, and balancing body functions.
EOs assist in healing the heart: oils enter the emotional realm and help us vibrate at a higher frequency. This can also mean bringing up past emotional pain that we might have suppressed in the past. So it’s important to move through a cycle of receiving the emotion and releasing it. This can be a process, especially if we’ve kept things down for a while. Now listen. Oils aren’t doing the (sometimes hard) work for us. They support us in doing the work openly and honestly.
EOs assist in releasing limiting beliefs: these are the deeply rooted beliefs found in our subconscious. They are usually not true. They hold us back, and they are almost alway unhelpful. Essential oils bring awareness to our emotional patterns. Then it helps us release them and replace them with positive beliefs.
EOs assist increase spiritual awareness and connection: On this podcast we talk a lot about personal development and we also get into a lot of spirituality. In a previous episode I also shared that the way I like to interpret a lot of the woo-work and information is that it’s an extension and a type of personal development. A lot of personal development is very spiritual and can be tough work.
EOs assist inspire the fulfillment of our life’s purpose.
