As I dive further in further to being a new age hippie, I have fully embraced aromatherapy for just about anything that ails you. I’ve also seen what these oils can do topically {make sure you dilute them with carrier oils} and have started to look at how they can heal the body when ingested. There are many oil companies out there, but I’ve fallen in love with Young Living, mostly because they are 100% pure therapeutic grade. I know I’m not inhaling fillers or alcohol. Just oil. I started using aromatherapy mostly for sleep issues and then for times where I needed energy. But what about times when you feel down? EUREKA! There are single oils and blends that are great for good vibes, mojo, and spiritual awakening. These are my top 10 favorite essential oils for when you need good vibes!
Frankincense – This resin is actually burned in churches and was one of the gifts from the Magi. For thousands of years, it has been used for spiritual awakening. Foreign studies also show many health benefits of using it topically and internally. Young Living offers this in oil form or resin. So when you want to become one with the world around you, diffuse or burn this during meditation or quiet time.
Orange – The oils pulled from orange definitely give you a motivational kick in the butt. It provides energy and also elevates your mood.
Lemon& Peppermint –Â Mix these two together in the morning for instant energy and the motivation to take on the day. Much like orange, lemon and all the citruses provide energy and boost mood. Combined with peppermint, the mixture will give focused energy.
Lavender – not all of your good vibes need to be high octane. Sometimes, we need our good vibes to be calming. Lavender is most popular for relaxing us–mind, body, and soul. I also find that when I’m really relaxed is when I’m most connected spiritually. I’ll either drop the oils in my diffuser or add it to bath salts to soak in.
Sage – When you burn sage {smudging sticks} it changes the vibrations in your space. It is for clearing negative energy and feelings. The oil works in the same way. If you’re the type of person that always seems surrounded by negativity, sage may be the way to go! Diffusing a few drops of sage will help change the vibrations around you from negative to positive.
Other high vibrational oils for spiritual awakening and good vibes are Juniper, Cedarwood, Patchouli, and Rose. Once you have an understanding of the oils and the ones that you gravitate toward, you’ll be able to create your own mixes, designed to work optimally for YOU.
Bonus: If you want to try some already mixed aromatic blends, Young Living offers quite a few, like Peace & Calming, Motivation, Gratitude… What type of vibe are you looking for? There is an oil for that!
 Therapeutic Grade oils are more expensive than your run of the mill fragrance oil, but like I said, if you’re inhaling it, make sure it’s pure. A starter kit comes with 11 oils and a diffuser. It’s a great way to dive in and find out what works for you without spending too much. You can purchase a starter kit or do an individual order HERE!
