Aromatherapy Share: Essences That Help Release Painful Memories...

Every being experiences emotional and physical pain at some point in life. Some are in tune with themselves and practice breath work, meditation, and other mindful techniques in order to move past the memories of these experiences, while others keep forging ahead without ever stopping to process what has happened to them. Either way, pain that is not addressed continues to show up and trigger us until we finally let it go. It takes a lot of courage to let go and forgive the traumas of the past. There are plants that share their medicine and the gift of helping us move this energy up and out when we feel ready to self-heal. Our three favorite essences to turn to in helping to release painful memories are Scotch Pine, Rosemary, and Niaouli MQV.

Scotch Pine is a Certified Organic needle and twig essence that comes from a very ancient and wise evergreen tree. She is used as medicine, for timber, for pulp, and in making tar. As an energetic healer, Scotch Pine is grounding and expansive. She helps us when we feel pulled in many directions, when we feel stressed out, or when we are needing more clarity in our lives. Scotch Pine assists us in letting go of painful memories and offers healing when things in our lives are getting under our skin. She assists us in changing directions in life with grace.

Rosemary is a Certified Organic flower, leaf, and twig essence that is ancient and popular in most every culture. She was first mentioned on cuneiform stone tablets around 5000BC, and the ancient Greeks and Romans used her to help ward off evil spirits. Known for her brain and memory healing powers, Rosemary also helps us let go of bad memories. She supports the release of the darkness of the past so that we can create the future from an open heart. Rosemary is cleansing for the aura, uplifting for the emotions, and supportive in clearing the shadows so that the dream from within can come alive.

Niaouli MQV is a Certified Organic leaf essence that is highly adaptable to challenging conditions. She helps us to fight off some of the most lethal diseases as well as emotional hurdles. Niaouli MQV helps us heal our inner child. She addresses our painful memories so we can clear them for good by strengthening the aura and helping us to see new perspectives on old situations. She supports the ultimate surrender to the life lessons that we have learned so that we can move forward with that wisdom and create a joyful future.

It's time to let those traumatic memories go for good. Anointing these sacred plants while practicing pranayama, movement, meditation, introspective journaling, or something else can be greatly helpful in pushing us through the birthing canal of our own healing journey. Using intuition, anoint 5-10 drops of each either over the heart, onto the spine, on the solar plexus, or onto the bottoms of the feet 2-3 times a day or during times of self-healing and reflection. Happy Healing!
