Essential Oils On The Spiritual Journey Explained

Essential Oils On The Spiritual Journey – Reference Page

I began working with essential oils when a friend suggested it. Over the years, I’ve continued to work with essential oils on the spiritual journey, and always travel with a pack of oils.

Where To Begin With Essential Oils

I originally started using essential oils in the UK when a friend suggested they might help me.  I had bought a few essential oils at the time but not used them.  Her young son was over with her and, whilst playing in the garden, fell into a patch of stinging nettles.

She told me to run and get the Lavender Essential Oil – we applied it quickly to the stings on his legs, and the crying stopped immediately; the redness and swelling were gone in about 10 minutes.

“Oh,” I thought.  “This stuff really does work”. Since then, I’ve always traveled with at least two oils, Lavender being the first.

It’s best to buy therapeutic grade essential oils if you can afford them – they last a long time and contain the original valuable elements of the plant. A cheap Lavender oil will not help a stinging nettle rash in the same way as therapeutic grade, since the plants are different species.

With Lavender, look for Lavender Angustifolia; that one will work, and if you compare it with cheaper brands, like the ones in your bubble bath, for example, you’ll probably notice a difference in the scent, too. Lavender growing in bulk originated in France because of the climate, and for a while French farmers used cheaper lavender plants to support the boom in popularity.

For therapeutic effects for any oil, always check the Latin name so that you can make sure you get the plant oil that contains the therapeutic effects you are looking for.

As a guide, I like Valerie Ann Worwood’s books and have a couple of them as resources.

Practical Uses of Essential Oils

Sometimes we may need to clear a space. Perhaps we are away from home, in a hotel or Airbnb, and would like to freshen the air. Or maybe we want to clear a space for spiritual reasons.

Refreshing a Space

Good oils to refresh a space are: –

• any type of pine oil that you prefer
• citrus oils (lemon or orange oils)
• rose oil (although these tend to be more expensive)
• frankincense.

Essential Oils In the Home

If you have small children, as with any strong products, keep your oils on a high shelf and in a cupboard away from direct sunlight.

Here’s a short list of my favorite ways to work with essential oils in the home: –

• Put some essential oil (such as Lavender) on a tissue and place near an air vent, or in your vacuum as you clean house.
• A couple of drops of Lavender on a pillow at night will promote deep sleep.
• I like using the Thieves House cleaner; it lasts for ages, and you can water it down and put it in a spray cleaner for any surface.
• I also use Thieves (Young Living) hand soap in all my bathrooms.
• Diffuse your favorite oil or oil blend to clear out cooking smells.
• Add a few drops of your favorite oil to a bath with bubbles or Epsom Salts.

Clearing Energy From A Space – My Haunted Hotel Story

I once visited a hotel in Kansas with my ex and our children for a short vacation when I was new to the state. I had no clue that my ex had booked one of the most haunted hotels in Kansas, and neither did he. We even ended up in a room on the most haunted fifth floor!

I hadn’t noticed any photos about the hauntings in the reception because I was too focused on shepherding the kids – they were both under the age of 7 at the time. When we got near our room, though, I walked along the corridor and literally felt as if I walked through an ice-cold zone.

I mentioned this to my then-husband, who just laughed. But when I took a picture of the location in the hallway, orbs showed up in the photograph. Then I experienced a spirit talking in my ear trying to help me, followed by visions of flames and spirits ‘whistling’ under the outer door to a Juliette balcony in our room, when the wind blew in.

After getting our laptop out and taking a look, we discovered we were booked into one of the most haunted hotels in the state, the Eldridge Hotel.

Luckily I had brought some oils, and used Frankincense oil to clear the energy in the room. I also had some crystals that I placed around the room.

It wasn’t the most peaceful of nights, but I’m glad I had my oils with me.

Some Hints and Tips For Minor Health Issue Support

Since learning to use essential oils, I’ve found that I can intuitively pick an oil to support someone, or make an oil blend if necessary.

When on vacation in the Maldives over 20 years ago now, a friend of mine got his bottom very badly burned!

He and his wife spent a day on a private island. They ran around with nothing on, and he forgot to put sunscreen on one important place!!

At the end of the vacation, we were about to travel home to the UK. This meant a 13-hour flight with a stop in Dubai.  This guy’s bottom was so red he could barely sit down, let alone for thirteen hours.

So on request I made a blend for him, and he was so grateful.  He said it helped reduce the discomfort and he had a reasonable flight home.  Actually, what he said was, “You saved my life!”

As an essential oil intuitive, I can choose an oil for a client or myself and family, rather than refer to a book. 🙂

Usually afterwards I’ll Google the oil or look it up and find out why I chose the essential oil in the first place!

I’d also recommend traveling with Lavender (as mentioned previously) and the Thieves Young Living oil travel spray. I put Thieves on myself when I travel by airplane, and clean my tray and personal area with it when I sit down on a flight. No one has ever complained about the smell, and so far I haven’t been sick after a flight, and it’s been years.

My Recommended Essential Oil Travel Kit

I travel with a small kit of oils. If I’m traveling by plane, I’ll carry some Lavender and Thieves in my carry-on, maybe the peppermint too. Make sure you comply with size limits for carry-on luggage, decanting oils into smaller bottles if need be.

I always pack: –

• Lavender oil – great for bites, burns, scrapes, scalds and sleep support.
• Thieves oil – clean your tray on the plane; use as a mouthwash added to water; you can get a spray to use in public toilets.
• Peppermint oil – a tiny drop on your tongue works great for indigestion or mild stomach issues; also a drop in drinking water or tea is very cooling.
• Rose oil – rub into the chest area (heart chakra) to help balance emotions or for a more comfortable sleep in a new place.
