Emotional Outlook Questionnaire with Essential Oil Suggestions Activation Part III

Essential Oils have been used as a specific remedy for activating healing for physical, emotional and spiritual imbalances.  However, not all essential oils are created equally. Nature's Sunshine and doTERRA feature lines you can trust. Emotional outlook is crucial to overall well being and activation of healing. Compliments of Jay VanDenHeuvel, N.D., I have listed below 27 different emotional states and the essential oil you may want to consider for use.

 One or more of these oils can be selected for emotional support, however, it is always advisable to start with one oil and work into combining them after you have experienced your body's response. It is best not to exceed more than four or five essential oils at one time.

 The oils can be diluted in Aloe Vera Gel, or Nature's Sunshine Massage Oil and applied topically. You can mix a few drops of essential oil with water and a drop of pure castile soap (to keep the oil from separating in the water, ) put in a spray bottle and mist on your body or in the air around you. You can also diffuse the oils into the air with the Nature’s Sunshine or doTERRA diffuser, or use the other accessories that they sell for application which includes spray bottles, roll-on bottles, plug-in diffusers, and more.  There are many ways to incorporate the essential oils into your every day lifestyle.  Have fun with it.
