We’ve only scratched the surface of the emotional support oils offered by Young Living. There are over 90 blends that help with all kinds of things. Here are some of our favorite emotional powerhouse oils that work wonders for specific needs:
Our Favorite Powerhouse Oils
- Surrender: For those control freaks out there. This oil is also wonderful for strong-willed kids.
- Release: Apply release over your liver (where negative emotions are stored) to support the release of unhealthy emotions.
- Joy: Helps to open the heart and promote feelings of self-love and love for others.
- Present Time: This blend was designed to bring one both mentally and emotionally into the present time, rather than fretting about the past or daydreaming about the future.
- Forgiveness: This oil has high frequencies that can help release negative memories to facilitate forgiveness, letting go and moving on.
- Dream Catcher: Was created to open the mind and to enhance one’s dreams, and to help one visualize their dreams and hang onto them until they become a reality.
- Harmony: Promotes physical and emotional health by balancing and supporting feelings of relaxation and security.
- Awaken: This powerhouse oil is a blend that contains five other blends (Joy, Present Time, Forgiveness, Dream Catcher, and Harmony) that promote feelings of self-worth.
- Gathering: Gathering is a great oil blend that can help bring thoughts and feelings together for greater focus and clarity, which can lead to greater peace and balance in life. It is great for staying focused, grounded, connected, and clear. Apply Gathering to the forehead, heart, bottom front of neck, chest, and/or upper chest near shoulders. I also like combining it with Forgiveness on the navel, Sacred Mountain on the crown (to clear negativity), Clarity on the temples, and Valor or Valor II on the crown or feet.
- Believe: Believe is a blend of Idaho Balsam Fir, Coriander, Bergamot, Frankincense, Idaho Blue Spruce, Ylang Ylang, and Geranium. Collectively these components balance emotions, promote a positive attitude, uplift, refresh, ground, empower, and bring harmony. Believe will release emotions of despair and inadequacy that are typically stored in the lungs, according to traditional Chinese medicine; and it will bring stability to the emotions by restoring hope and desire.
- Envision: Envision encourages renewed faith in the future and the ability to maintain the emotional fortitude necessary to achieve goals and dreams. It is a blend of Spruce, Geranium, Orange, Sage, Rose, and Lavender. Collectively these components are grounding, balancing, bring peace and happiness, remove emotional blocks, overcome limitations and negativity. Envision has also been known to stimulate creativity, help with refocusing, possibly help with procrastination, and may help with overcoming fears. Sometimes in life, for a variety of reasons, people suppress their internal drive. Envision helps awaken and renew that drive to overcome fear and begin experiencing new, more rewarding dimensions!
- Inner Child: Life is hard, sometimes starting in childhood. Things such as parents being too busy to focus undivided attention on you, feeling rejected, having to shoulder grownup responsibilities early on, or abuse can cause disconnection from your inner authentic self. This oil helps reconnect and gives you space to process thoughts and emotions that are keeping you stuck to this day.
- Valor: Legend holds that Roman soldiers oiled up with a blend of oils before going into battle to instill them with confidence and courage, the recipe of which was found in ancient Roman ruins. Valor, based on this long-hidden recipe, may promote feelings of courage, confidence and self-esteem. It is powerful yet calming, giving support to leave old behavior patterns and move toward change.
