A Week of Essential Oil Use with a Spotlight on my Inspiration Blend

Using essential oils is a very regular part of my life. I have my favourite oils for particular purposes and don’t tend to change them around very often.  Nowadays, I find myself using them more for non-toxic solutions to every day issues than for specific illness management support (because of how well I generally am at the moment). But then non-toxic everyday solutions is a way of supporting my well-being! And of course, they add a lot of joy to my life.

Here’s my essential oil use diary for last week:

Monday 1st October:

  • Oil pulling with peppermint and clove on getting up
  • My personal inspiration blend in my oil burner when starting work
  • Home-made toner# with Frankincense, arborvitae and lavender
  • dõTERRA’s anti-aging moisturizer with lavender, jasmine, geranium and frankincense.
  • Aromatic dressing with my individual blend# of hormone supporting essential oils
  • Serenity* in the diffuser at bed time to help me get to sleep

Tuesday 2nd October:

  • Oil pulling with peppermint and clove
  • Sniffing citrus bliss from the bottle for a boost of joy and motivation before yoga
  • Gently massaging lavender touch into my neck and shoulders to ease tension
  • Clary sage and lemon grass in the diffuser at bed time. I was mentally ‘tired but wired’ and struggling to let of a busy mind.

Wednesday 3rd October:

  • Oil pulling with peppermint and clove
  • Sniffed citrus bliss from the bottle a couple of times throughout the day, because I was feeling a bit low and wanted a joy boost.
  • Home-made toner# with Frankincense, arborvitae and lavender
  • dõTERRA’s anti-aging moisturizer with lavender, jasmine, geranium and frankincense.
  • Cleaning the bathroom surfaces with my home-made cleaning solution# containing on guard* and lemon

My Homemade Inspiration Blend

I like to start my work day feeling inspired and creative. Although I love the life I have now, I have a huge vision of helping thousands (or even hundreds of thousands) of Spoonies to create a life that they love and contribute to making the world a better place.  I put my inspiration blend in the burner to help me connect in with the energy of divine creativity, love, trust and abundance. I also listen to a brief audio I’ve made reminding myself of who I am, what I am choosing to create, my commitment to take action and my gratitude for the healing, growth and evolution that my work is contributing to.

I’ve mixed up this blend in a little bottle and use a couple of drops:Inspiration blend of essential oils pin

  • 20 drops wild orange for abundance
  • 8 drops frankincense for truth
  • 5 drops geranium for love and trust
  • 3 drops sandalwood for spiritual clarity and surrender
  • 3 drops arborvitae for divine grace
  • 2 drops clary sage for clarity and vision
  • 2 drops cypress for motion and flow

I enjoy playing around with this blend. This is how it is at the moment and will last me 2 or 3 weeks of daily use. Every time it runs out I connect in with what I will feel when I’ve attained my great vision and tweak my blend to help me evoke those feeling more easily. I also use my sense of smell to get an aroma that feels really inspiring!
