Aromatherapy Basics: Valor and Frankincense for Stage Fright

July 2, 2010 in Anxiety, Application, Aromatherapy, Essential Oils, Frankincense, How do I use, Inspirational, Testimonials, Therapeutic-grade Essential Oil, Using Essential Oils, Valor, Young Living Distributor, Young Living Essential Oils by Tammy Baile | No comments

I will admit it, no matter how many times I go up to sing and play the piano in front of a new crowd I always get a little stage fright. It never fails!

I recently had the opportunity to lead songs for our church group, and when I felt the stage fright creeping up on me I remembered my emergency essential oil kit that I keep in my car at all times. Two of the oils in the kit are Valor, a blend to enhance feelings of courage and confidence, and Frankincense, the Biblical oil that is known to heighten spirituality.

I quietly hurried out to my car, and took a moment to apply the oils to my hands. As I cupped the oils to my nose and breathed in, I said a little prayer and I could feel the anxiety melting away.

Long story short, I have never played or sang so well! I did not have an ounce of stage fright and my hands never shook for the first few minutes on stage like they normally do. It was great, and I actually look forward to next time. Read the rest of this entry »

Aromatherapy is a natural, non-invasive treatment system designed to affect the whole person, not just the symptom or disease, and to assist the body’s natural ability to balance, regulate, heal and maintain itself by the correct use of essential oils.

From the dawn of the earliest recorded history, man has been drawn to aromatics and fragrant resins (such as Frankincense). Evidence of resins and plant oils (essential oils) were used for medicinal, ceremonial, or pleasurable purposes indicate most ancient civilizations practiced aromatherapy.

The scent of an essential oil can directly affect everything from our emotional state to our lifespan. What makes therapeutic essential oils unique is that they work differently than any other natural substance, and chemical fragrances have no therapeutic benefit at all (unless you want to consider a possible placebo affect therapeutic).

When any scent or fragrance is inhaled, the odor molecules travel up the nose where they are trapped by olfactory membranes that are protected by the lining inside the nose. Each odor molecule fits like a little puzzle piece into specific receptor cell sites that line a membrane, known as the olfactory epithelium. When stimulated by odor molecules, this lining of nerve cells triggers electrical impulses to the olfactory bulb in the brain. The olfactory bulb then transmits the impulses to the gustatory center (where the sensation of taste is perceived), the amygdala (where emotional memories are stored), and other parts of the limbic system of the brain. More on Aromatherapy and Olfactory.

Depending on the specific constituents in a particular essential oil, incorporating certain oils throughout a yoga, meditation or prayer routine may lead to increased energy, relaxation, focus, decreased stress, or deeper meditation.

By incorporating the use of essential oils into your practice, you can experience: Read the rest of this entry »
