Many of us, regardless of age, gender, heritage, religion, profession, or class, deal with anxiety and fear on a daily basis. Couple this with massive issues on a local, national, and global scale, life can feel overwhelming and just downright scary. It’s absolutely natural to experience these emotions and we should try to always honor our feelings.* However, it is our reaction and response to these sensations that can help or hinder us. When we realize that we have the power to shift the day-to-day anxieties and fears that we experience, and the perceptions that we build up in our own minds that trigger our fears, we can choose to transform negative emotions and experiences into catalysts for self-realization!
*Please note: We are not talking about clinical depression here. If you are clinically depressed, please seek medical attention.
Even though this may sound like a cliche, first, always remember to breathe! Breathe slowly and intentionally and do what you can to mentally slow down your mind, your thoughts and get present. We all know what it feels like when our minds are racing a mile a minute and we’re thinking about all the different scenarios and ways that one particular situation could play out. This is our mind wrecking havoc. It’s unconscious behavior. Once you catch yourself (become conscious), focus on your breath. Close your eyes. Breathe and accept the present moment. Maybe find something else to focus on. Gaze upon a flower, a tree or an animal - not a device! What comes next is up to the individual. We all have different coping mechanisms or tools to transport us to a safer and more positive place. We encourage you to find methods that speak to you.
By incorporating intention-based aromatherapy into your toolbox of how to combat anxiety or fears when they pop up, sometimes seemingly out of nowhere, you are equipping yourself with more power and autonomy. By consistently using an aromatherapy product (healing essence) together with your intentions, you are teaching your brain that if you use this product, you will shift to feel a different way. By frequently applying an oil, spraying a mist or diffusing a certain oil blend in preparation of meditation, you will be able to get to that head space or ready yourself for meditation at a quicker rate. The same can be said for when you use a specific oil when you are feeling particularly anxious or fearful. You can keep a small bottle of oil (such as an anointing oil) in your purse or bag and find a moment to set your intentions for peace and calm as you inhale the aroma. The more you do this, the faster you will see results each time. And the oils will do the rest.
Here are some suggestions of things you can do with intention-based aromatherapy to help you lower anxiety and ease worry:
“Even though the meditator may leave the meditation, the meditation will not leave the meditator.”
-Dudjom Rinpoche
Many find that a meditation routine is a surefire way to combat anxiety and to begin each day in the right headspace in order to confront daily microaggressions that may come our way. Creating a practice of daily meditation is extremely healthy and good for the mind. When you provide a space or a practice for the mind to purify and balance, you are less susceptible to the invasion of negative thoughts and fears. A regular meditation practice can also help in those moments, no matter where you are, to help quickly take you to that place of peace and mindfulness.
