FEELING…Stressed? Worried? Fearful?
Fortunately, you don’t have to stay in that place.
Take courage… you can do, and get through, hard things and not feel stressed out, worried, anxious or fearful the whole time either. Believe it or not, there’s actually something you can do to help yourself overcome your negative emotions so you can let go of them and move on in a positive direction.
Aromas have a profound impact in your mind. The sense of smell is the only one of your senses that has a direct connection to the limbic lobe, or emotional control center, of your brain. Essential oils have the power to change the atmosphere and mood in any room! Your sense of smell is directly connected to the limbic lobe of your brain, which is the emotional control center. It is responsible for your mood, memory, behavior, feelings, and emotions. A fragrance can make us recall long-forgotten experiences and memories before we are consciously aware of it. You may even be able to think of smells that trigger particular memories, such as homemade bread or fresh-cut grass.
Diffusing essential oils in your home provides far more benefits than just a nice smell. When a scent arrives to the limbic system, your body responds by releasing unique chemicals into your brain, causing different reactions depending on the aromas detected. Knowing this helps us to understand why smell plays such an important role in memory, thought processes, mood, perception, emotions, and overall cognition.
VALOR® and BELIEVE™
Two blends that may be just the thing you need to help build your confidence and courage.
Two blends that may be just the thing you need to help build your confidence and courage.
VALOR®
Valor® essential oil features Frankincense, Black Spruce, Blue Tansy, Camphor Wood, and Geranium and was formulated based on historical writings about Roman soldiers who were said to apply plant extracts and botanicals to instill feelings of courage and confidence before going into battle. It is an incredible blend and one of Young Living’s most popular oils!! If I had to sum up Valor’s benefits in one word, it would be: Balance.
Using Valor® for support can be as simple as applying some to your shoulders, the bottoms of your feet, the back of your neck, or anywhere that you’re experiencing tension or a stressful tightness in your body. It’s the ultimate diffuser oil with its deep, grounding fragrance.
