How Essential Oils Heal | Science, Spirituality and Chakra Activation
Essential oils bypass the brains slower processes and go straight to the limbic system - the anxiety center of the brain to calm anxiety instantly. In this episode we explore how essential oils heal and the science behind them. We explore the aromatherapy properties of oils like ylang ylang and rose for soothing and calming the limbic system in the brain and why they are so effective for soothing to the heart chakra. We also take a look at stimulating oils such as peppermint essential oil and eucalyptus essential oil that can wake us up, give us mental clarity and stimulate our imagination. I give you several formulas or recipes for healing essential oil blends that you can create at home to activate the third eye, nurture the heart chakra and release anxiety instantly.
In this episode you will learn:
How essential oils work to heal the body
The immediate healing effects of smell
The importance of the limbic system in the brain and how essential oils affect it
How essential oils reverse an amygdala trigger and calm the fight or flight response
How essential oils operate on the hippocampus
How essential oils operate on the hypothalamus
Which oils work best for the heart chakra and which ones activate the third eye
Which oils are good for grounding
How to blend essential oils including adding top, middle and base notes
Several recipes for your own essential oil blends Including one blend that can become a perfume
Some essential oils with anti-microbial properties for healing infections
The Recipes:
Use a 10 or 20 ml roller ball bottle for easy application. Top up the blend with your favorite carrier oil such as jojoba oil or fractionated coconut oil which both are odorless and have a long shelf life. Oils such as sandalwood and rose otto tend to be expensive and are often sold diluted in carrier oil. If you are using oils diluted in carrier oil you will need to add more drops in proportion to the dilution so:
5% in carrier: 20 drops = 1 drop
10% in carrier: 10 drops = 1 drop
20% in carrier: 5 drops = 1 drop
Stimulating Blend
Peppermint: 3 drops
Eucalyptus: 3 drops
Third Eye Chakra Activation Blend
Lemon: 2 drops
Lavender: 6 drops
Rosemary: 2 drops

(00:13:28) The Star, Moon, and Sun: A Tarot Journey
(00:23:06) Emerging from the Dark Night
The dark night of the soul is not a single moment, it’s not a matter of having a bad day or a bad week or even a bad year. It’s an existential crisis that calls into question everything you thought you knew about your life and the world we live in. In this video we explore both the themes in the heros journey and the journey of the fool in the Tarot through the Major Arcana to understand how they relate to the Dark Night. We explore what it means to have a dark night of the soul, and how you recover from it. It might feel like you have become an outcast, an anomaly, someone who does not fit in but actually you are experiencing the same thing as many people right now - a spiritual transformation that will set you free.
In this episode you will learn: - What is the dark night of the soul?
How the world as we know it starts to crumble
How we question everything we have ever believed to be true
How this relates to the the stages of the hero’s journey
How it relates to the progression of the Fool’s journey in the Tarot
How passing through the dark night of the soul always leads to transformation of the spirit and awakens you to a new reality that is better than ever before.

The Positivity Obsession: Is High Vibrational Living Exhausting Your Inner Light?
Are you suffering from Spiritual Burnout? Do you feel under pressure to maintain a high vibration at all times? Do you tell yourself you cannot indulge in negative thinking because we are manifesting our thoughts? If so, your soul may be on the verge of a spiritual breakdown. Soul evolution is not a race to the finish. There is no deadline and the most harmonious and holistic approach to raising our vibration is by riding the universal waves, learning the universal currents and responding by allowing ourselves to sometimes have a down day. When we deny our true feelings and try to maintain a high every day even in the face of disaster, we are not benefitting our soul development. In this video I talk about how to navigate the hard times without sinking into victimhood and how important it is to be honest with ourselves when we are just not feeling it - our body, mind, spirit knows the truth even when we don’t admit it to ourselves and that can create health issues - the exact opposite of what we are trying to do. Instead we can do the shadow work - allow ourselves to sit in quiet contemplation accept the Divine timing and wait for the right cosmic alignment to resume our quest for spiritual enlightenment. We were never meant to be perfect or perfectly happy all of the time but neither were we meant to suffer.
