You know those times when it just seems like the energy - the vibe - is off? It could just be a bad day. It could be a person at work you have contention with. It could be you’re just not feeling yourself. Any time I’m down or I need a little assistance blocking outside energetic noise - these are the oils that I use and how I use them.

THE top three

On Guard

This is always the first oil I think of when I think of protection. OnGuard is a blend of oils. It includes Rosemary and Clove which I love for protection. The Wild Orange and Cinnamon lift and keep me uplifted. The scent is spicy and with a hint of citrus.

Blue Lotus

From the moment I opened the bottle I knew Blue Lotus was special. doTERRA works with a family farmer in China for this amazing oil. Energetically speaking it makes me feel protected while maintaining a softness around me. This is an oil I rely on when I want to feel held and guarded. The scent is a lovely aquatic floral.

Tea Tree

Tea Tree has a very herbaceous scent. I experience this oil as a very clearing energetic property. If I know I am going into a place of contention this is a great oil to use as it gives the essence that it clears the energy. It is also great to use at home to clear the air if there’s been any contention.

how i use them

I use OnGuard Touch, Blue Lotus Touch, and Tea Tree Touch. The Touch oils are pre-diluted (which means ready to use topically) and come in a bottle with a rollerball top for easy application. I roll the oil over my wrists, over my heart, the back of my head where my neck meets my skull, and the top of my head. I may use a combination of these oils or pick one and layer Neroli and Sandalwood on top for their beautiful scents and energetics.

finding your favorites

Experimenting with what others have experienced success with is a great place to start but here are some tips when you are ready to find your own personal favorites.

A good trick to finding the energetics of an oil is to look what they excel at on a physical level. Tea Tree is known for its purifying properties. It can cleanse and purify the skin and nails and help support a healthy-looking complexion. Naturally I am drawn to those same cleansing properties when I need that help energetically.

The best way to find your own heavy hitters is to spend some time with your essential oils and build experiences with them. The more you use them the more you will build your own rapport with the oils and you will naturally begin to find what works best for you.
