Aromatherapy For Stress Relief Featuring: Basil

Have you ever experienced a time in your life when you didn’t know who you were?

This might seem like an odd question or train of thought, yet in a culture where we are praised for what we do, rather who we are, the two can get a bit muddled and so, the question is not only worthy of asking, but I would argue it is imperative we know the answer.

Finding your value and worth in who you are as oppose to what you do creates an inner settled peace that cannot be shaken- no matter what the world looks like.

Times of stress can come when we aren’t certain of our personhood. Before you think this odd and mention that stress can come from outside circumstances, hear me out.

When a person is walking in all they are, fully confident in their position in life, things from the outside world are easily manageable because no matter what, the inner confidence is not shaken.

For some, a shaking of confidence comes because of a sudden loss, for others it is something that has been a part of life forever.

No matter the cause or reasons, no matter how long the unsure feeling has been there, it can change with some assistance.

These are just some of those deep thoughts that hit me out of no where when I am researching an oil.

Basil for example, is an oil that can reenergize a person when it comes to life, purpose and personal worth, especially when doubt is involved. Basil introduces us to ourselves. Believe it or not, many people have not met themselves. Many people go through life being someone that others think they ought to be only because others are all too happy to tell a person who they ought to be without giving a consideration to ask the person in question. And, if the person in question was never allowed to speak up and say, "hey that doesn't fit with my skin," then they will likely go laong to get along.

It’s not until the person begins to be healed emotionally that the layers peel away and fresh new skin grows, skin that they feel much more at home in.

In my research of Basil and seeing the benefits emotionally speaking, the simplicity of how we can use our oils hit different.

I believe we tend to make life, joy, and finding purpose much to complicated.

We make healthy eating too complicated.

We make raising a family ridiculously complicated.

So it’s no wonder that when it comes to discover who we truly are, books, videos and seminars abound, all pointing to the how to of it all.

What if it were as simple as, daily breathing in an oil such as Basil and taking a few moments to journal through a few questions?

What if, this oft used on pizza herb, boasted much more life changing results than causing your muscles to be soothed or your back to reduce in stiffness?

What if, Basil could be diffused throughout the night while you slept, paired with Rosemary and Lavender, and in the mornings you found a renewed sense of assuredness?

Personally, I have nothing to lose and everything to gain from that little experiment. Care to join me? Find your collection of Purpose Finder here.
