In addition to balancing emotions in the moment, we often need to deal with negative experiences and emotions that we are holding onto from the past. These emotions may be stuck in our bodies, limiting our present response to life and negatively affecting our health and happiness. A number of emotional release techniques are available, including EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) and bodywork to facilitate emotional release.

To help you use essential oils to release emotions, Young Living created a Feelings Kit to promote emotional clearing and self renewal. The kit contains six essential oil blends:

Valor oil blend is an empowering combination of spruce, rosewood, blue tansy, and frankincense essential oils. Renowned for its strengthening qualities and ability to align energy in the body, apply Valor to the feet as the first step of the Feelings regimen.

Harmony oil blend brings a harmonic balance to the energy centers of the body using lavender, sandalwood, and ylang ylang essential oils. Rub Harmony on the chakra points to allow negative energy to escape.

Forgiveness oil blend is an uplifting combination formulated with melissa, geranium, frankincense, and other essential oils. Forgiveness allows the release of harmful memories and promotes a willingness to move forward. Apply Forgiveness to the navel and let go of negative emotions.

Present Time promotes feelings of living in the moment. The blend of neroli, spruce, and other essential oils allow you to see the future with an open mind for new possibilities. Apply Present Time to the wrists and behind the ears.

Inner Child stimulates memory response and helps reconnect with the authentic self. The combination of orange, tangerine, jasmine, lemongrass, neroli, and other essential oils provide a sweet, childlike fragrance. Rub 1–2 drops of Inner Child just under your nose to open the pathway to connecting with your inner self.

Release facilitates the ability to release anger and frustration using ylang ylang, lavandin, geranium, and other essential oils. Release promotes harmony and balance of the mind and body. Apply over the liver and wait as feelings of frustration are uplifted.

Lastly, re-apply Valor essential oil to complete the Feelings regimen. Valor locks in the feelings of completeness and balance.
