Check Your Emotional Baggage Using the Feelings Kit Many of us go through life laden with emotional baggage. When we endure a traumatic experience, we can end up carrying its detrimental effects for years to come. These negative feelings remain unacknowledged and before we know it we're bogged down by a pervasive sense of discontent. The more caught up we become in demanding schedules, the more we tend to push our emotional health to the background, and by not allowing ourselves time to reflect on past experiences, we neglect an important part of overall wellness. The pervasiveness of emotional discontent is well documented in modern life. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) estimates that 26.2 percent of Americans ages eighteen and older suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. This statistic equates to roughly 57.7 million people seeking medical attention for anxiety, depression, and other mental illnesses. These startling figures leave many of us wondering what can be done to improve our own emotional well-being. We can combat these negative effects by facilitating the release of negative emotions. When we allow ourselves to harness the benefits of reflection, we are taking an important step towards increased emotional health. In a time where more and more people are turning to psychotropic drugs for relief, Young Living introduces the new Feelings Collection'" as a natural way to leave negative recollections behind and begin each day with renewed exuberance. Valor is the first oil blend used in the Feelings Collection application process. It is an empowering combination of therapeutic-grade essential oils that works with both the physical and spiritual aspects of the body to increase feelings of strength, courage, and self-esteem in the face of adversity. Begin by rubbing Valor on your feet and enjoy the feelings of relaxation and empowerment that wash over you. Renowned for its strengthening qualities, Valor enhances an individual's internal resources, and has been found to help energy alignment in the body. Next, apply Harmony to each chakra, or energy point, on the body. This exquisite blend promotes physical and emotional well-being by bringing harmonic balance to the energy centers of the body. Perfect for use as part of the Feelings Collection or for immediate aid when in emotional distress, the liberating, balancing, and calming essential oils in this blend open us to new possibilities while contributing to an overall feeling of well-being. Forgiveness is to be used following Harmony. It contains a synergistic blend of soothing and uplifting essential oils that may enhance the ability to release hurtful memories and move beyond emotional barriers. Apply a drop to your navel or under your nose while meditating on the process of personal growth. We can only proceed to increased health and wellness once we have the ability to forgive and let go of negative emotions. Once you have reached a state of calm acceptance of your past experiences, Present Time allows you to focus on the here and now while leaving negative memories behind. Present Time is an empowering fragrance that heightens the sense of being "in the moment." Concentrating on the past can be counterproductive. Inhale this unique oil blend and enjoy the sensation of being completely in the present. Follow the positive feelings of Present Time with the solidifying benefits of Release. Release combines uplifting, calming oils that stimulate a sense of peace and emotional well-being, which in turn facilitates the ability to release anger and frustration. Release promotes harmony and balance in the mind and body, and helps eliminate the adverse effects of repressed emotions on health and wellness. Place three to four drops of Release oil blend over the liver or on the sternum for a grounding effect, and feel increased emotional strength as you let go of the past once and for all. Next, harness the carefree exuberance of your Inner Child. Apply this liberating oil blend to your crown and feel it open the pathway to your inner self. Past experiences may have closed you to the voice of your inner child, but the sweet fragrance of this blend may stimulate memory response allowing you to reconnect with the authentic self. Once you have opened your true self with Inner Child, you will have completed one of the most important steps to finding emotional balance. Finally, to bring your emotional journey full circle, end by applying Valor to the back of your neck and head in a clockwise motion. Reaffirming the feelings awakened throughout this process will leave you feeling courageous and excited about what the future holds. Inhale the therapeutic aroma as you massage Valor into your skin and envision that you are wiping your slate clean, ready to begin anew. You've been carrying around dead weight long enough-it's time to let go of the emotional baggage.
