My Emotional Detox using the power of Aromatherapy

After a turbulent couple of years, LeRêve’s Emotional lift range of Intensive Hit Roll Ons and Pure Essential Oils have been a saviour for my emotional well-being! I found the information from LeRêve’s Emotional Lift workshop about Chakras so fascinating. The connection between our negative energies and our physical and mental well-being just made so much sense to me. The Essential Oils had an incredible effect on uplifting my emotions, particularly when I focused mindfully on each energy centre or chakra I was wanting to balance.

I have always loved being in nature, and we all know the benefits of fresh air and getting our Vitamin D; however the scents of nature are so powerful too. I actually love to stop and “smell the roses” and other plants and flowers when I go on walks. This is probably why I love Aromatherapy and Fragrance so much!

One of the world's leading experts on the psychology of smell, Rachel Herz, explains in her book “The Scent of Desire” the definitive psychological study of the importance of smell in our lives, from nourishment to procreation to our relationships with other people and the world at large. Located in the same part of the brain that processes emotion, memory, and motivation, this most essential of senses is imperative to our physical and emotional well-being. It was crucial to our ancestors' existence and it remains so today, profoundly shaping our emotional, physical, and even sexual lives.

The 21-Day Emotional Detox program consists of a 3-day application per Roll On, and using the matching Pure Essential Oil blend in an Ultrasonic Diffuser.  Each Roll On or Oil Blend targets a different chakra, starting with Secure & Content Roll On for the Root Chakra. The full program goes in this order:
 

Apply Secure & Content Roll On to your lower back, just above the tailbone. This is your root chakra. I often suffer with lower back pain which is associated with the root chakra being unbalanced. Throughout the day, reapply to the same area of put it on your wrists. Then at night, reapply to your lower back and the soles of your feet. Did you know that the feet is one of the quickest entry point for oils to penetrate into your lymphatic system and bloodstream? 

Apply Creative & Sensual Roll On to your lower stomach, just under the navel. This is the sacral chakra.  If you're craving creativity, it's a sign the sacral chakra could be imbalanced. Apply as often as needed. This blend is recommended to use at least once a week. I find the smell of orange oil in this very uplifting.

Apply Confident & Calm Roll On to the stomach, above the navel. This is the solar plexus chakra. We all know how anxiety and stress tend to cause disruption to our stomachs and bowels. If you feel as though you’re lacking in confidence, then it's time to rebalance the solar plexus chakra. 

Apply Loving & Joyful Roll On to the centre of your chest. This is your heart chakra. When you’re feeling sad or lonely, this blend can help lift and warm your heart. It can also help move feelings of anger into peace and love.  I find this a great one to diffuse for harmony in the home!

Apply Expressive & Receptive Roll On to the centre of your throat. This is the throat chakra. This one is great for helping with communication.  I often find dealing with conflict and confrontation quite difficult so this one has helped me immensely to give me the confidence to speak my truth.  The smell of lime in this is delicious too!

Apply Intuitive & Wise Roll On above the eyebrows in the centre of your forehead. This is your brow or third eye chakra. This Roll On is perfect for changing your mindset and seeing things more clearly in your mind.  I love using this blend in both the roll on and diffuser whilst working, not only for the gorgeous scent of spearmint and frankincense, but because it helps with wisdom, memory and concentration.

Apply Connected & Purposeful Roll On to the crown of your head (or centre top area of your head). This is your crown chakra. This blend is very relaxing and wonderful to use in meditation. If you have been feeling a little lost and are looking for perspective, this blend can help you find your purpose and connect with people and nature.

I apply the specific Roll On each morning and night for the three days, then switch to the next one. Now it is more an intuitive response based on how I’m feeling each day to choose which Oil Blend to diffuse or Roll On to apply to my skin. I regularly do a 21-day detox too when I feel overly emotional, and it helps every single time. I really recommend giving these beautiful Oils a go to enhance your mental, physical and spiritual well-being. Life can certainly be a rollercoaster, however with these lovely Oils to help ground me, it makes the bumps easier to ride, and makes my world smell amazing too!
