What is self love?
It is the ability to look at yourself in the mirror and say I love you…
To know when the inner critic is taking over, and to shut it down gently.
To know your boundaries, how you feel safe, and to make them clear to others.
To take responsibility for your actions and for your life.
To love your body. To understand your flaws and accept them.
To know your strengths and allow them to shine.
To not be afraid of failure and instead see them as lessons to be learned.
To feel your emotions and to express them without feeling shame or guilt.
To have healthy self-esteem and confidence.
To not care what others think and do to you.
Have you got anything else to add to this list?
Feel free comment below and let me know — I’d LOVE to hear what you think self love is.
Essential Oils have an emotional component that evokes certain energies, vibrations and emotions. This is their power. Once you have an understanding of essential oils and their emotional realm, you can use them to support your transformation and empower you to choose how you want to feel.
You have a choice in any moment.
As essential oils work via the olfactory system (ie sense of smell), they travel to the olfactory neurons and act like a key that unlocks neurotransmitters that activate different parts of the brain — particularly the limbic system.
This system is responsible for a multitude of activities that has to do with aggression, intellectual processes, appetite emotions, and can stimulate the release of certain hormones.
Emotionally Essential Oils can help with self- esteem, sadness, anger, depression, motivation, amongst other emotions. They are a powerful tool to have in your toolbox.
If you are not feeling the love, you may need some aromatic scents to increase your ‘scentsuality.’
So what are the Essential Oils to Improve your Self Love?
Aside from Roses, aka the Queen of Love, there are other scents that evoke feelings of beauty, joy and deeper love.
Incorporating any of these into a blend with carrier oil like Rose Hip Oil or Jojoba Oil will enhance your womanly spirit and increase your ‘scentsuality’ – an expression of your self love.
