Learning to Love Myself Again with Rose Essential Oil

I started this blog in 2011, it all came about when I became a doTERRA Wellness Advocate. I loved learning about essential oils. I started learning and then writing a little email about the essential oil that I chose for that week. It was a great way for me to learn about the oils and share with others. 

I was selling Real Estate when I started using doTERRA products in 2009. The market was crashing and we were a young family with 3 kids under 5 years old and both of us self - employed. Life was busy and an adventure and looking back as hard as it was, there was so much joy! Never the less, my email list was increasing and I would have to send out two emails. That is when I decided to start the blog. That was when the Weekly Essential was born. In 2017 I opened an office in our local town. I wanted to share essential oils and healthy lifestyle tools to others. Click on the arrow at the top left, got to wellness services, to see all that I offer at my office. 

I am here to tell you life goes in cycles, beware to acknowledge and not repeat, you probably are thinking right now of someone you know who repeats the same pattern. You know, an aunt and uncle split and then the uncle remarries someone who looks just like the x-wife, she even has the same name. A couple who splits and the husband blames the wife for the financial failure, then a few years later, remarries ands ends up in the same financial trouble as he did with his first wife. The message here is to learn from your mistakes, life lessons and not to repeat them. It could even be a work relationship, or friendships. 

Life lessons, so many and a lot are the same for all of us. We are all worthy and deserving, why do we thing we are not? Acceptance of who you are. Who are you? I am not the same person I was a year ago, I am sure you aren't either. 

I have not blogged in a while, I had to take some time and go within and do some healing of my own and find me again. I learned from doTERRA. when things aren't going right in your life, when you are struggling. It is time to stop and work on yourself. it is one of the hardest things to do. There is a lot I want to share. I have found myself and Joy again. Working on yourself is one of the hardest things to do, how about love yourself. Do you do that? Or are you exhausted? Once I started putting myself first and setting healthy boundaries (NOT BEING SELFISH).  Learning to love myself again, putting myself first, surrender, trust and then the magic started to happen for me. 

I was exhausted from coming up with excuse after excuse, I was a victim (that was horrible, never wanted to be and there I was). How did I get here. Sometimes we don't know how we get down the dark rabbit hole. What is important is that you pull yourself out, and it is as simple as loving yourself. 

It is the month of February, the month of love. I want you to love yourself. Say "I Love You" to you! 

For this weeks oil, I am going to share with you the highest frequency essential oil, Rose. I love this essential oil. I was in a very dark place and chose this essential oil to help support me. It was a gift to myself and I wanted to feel loved and I was so guarded and protected. I was shut down, emotionally. This blend was a great tool and I felt the love when I would use it. 

I bought three roll ons, the lotion and one of the 5 ml bottles. I would diffuse when I wanted to feel held at night, I had a roll on by my bathroom sink and one in my car door handle and one in my hand bag. I put it on first thing in the morning behind my ears, under my nose and in the palm of my hands. I would do again before bed. When ever I got in the car, I would put some on before driving, take some deep breaths and then I would drive. 

I have the Rose lotion at work and on my night stand, I like to use it after washing my hands at work. I love giving myself a foot rub before bed. 

Seriously, this blend helped me find my light again.

Description

Rosa damascena, more commonly known as the Damask rose, is a small shrub with thorny stems. Originally from the Syrian capital Damascus, it is highly sought after for its many beneficial properties. Before the sun crests the horizon in Bulgaria, workers can be found in fields harvesting the delicate bloom of the Rosa damascena. The labor-intensive production process has a very low yield; takes more than 10,000 freshly picked rose blossoms to produce only one 5mL bottle of Rose essential oil. 

Because Rose petals are so delicate, the distillation process must happen the same day that the flower is harvested. From this labor comes an essential oil known for its sweet floral aroma, beautiful and romantic. Diffuse Rose oil to uplift your spirits; the blooming floral fragrance brings about feelings of love, care, and comfort. 

Apply Rose essential oil topically in daily skin care routines. Rose oil helps balance moisture levels in skin, reduce the appearance of skin imperfections, and promote a healthy-looking and even skin tone.

This is an amazing essential oil and three ways you can purchase it.

From Love Your Inner Goddess Oracle deck by Alena Fairchild

IN A READING

Deep within, you know what excites and inspires you. Your job isn't to decide whether that inspiration is practical, realistic or even possible. Human beings have been shown throughout history that the ideas which they once scoffed at as being ridiculous or impossible to achieve can become the realities that they rely upon and take for granted as a natural part of their daily lives not long afterwards. You too shall move from doubt to wondering how you ever lived without this passion, idea or inspiration of yours. Let the Universe show off its creative flair for the unexpected and inspirational through you. Do not give up on what truly moves and inspires your heart, for soon enough it will be part of your world. 

SPIRTUAL GUIDANCE

You are a rare creature, not entirely of this world. You need to swim in deeper waters of mystery and meaning. In those deep places, you can commune with the sacred and be nourished by that which is real and yet cannot be explained. To deny this and remain on the surface of things will not satisfy your soul. It would be like eating stale biscuits, when what you really hunger for is succulent fruit, sweet with juice. Too much of what most people think is the "real world" dries out your soul. You crave mystery and magic the way most other people crave control and certainty. These yearnings of yours are not immature or escapist. They are the voice of your inner mermaid, rising up from your oceanic soul. Her siren song is the voice of your true desires. You are connected to worlds beyond this physical reality, the worlds of spirit, healing, intuition, mediation and creativity. When you are in touch with her you will embody your feminine freedom and spiritual independence. You will live your life according to what fills you up, living from that inner place where you feel at home, the realm of your soul. 

SACRED RITUAL

Imagine that your inner mermaid can sing to you now, using whatever words or sounds she likes. Her honest voice rises up from the depths of your soul. Let her sing to you, expressing deep truths, either aloud or silently as you listen to her with your spiritual ability of inner hearing. Receive her siren song, whether it makes sense straight away or not, with unconditional acceptance and loving respect.

AFFIRMATION
