Do you ever feel like anxiety, irritability and restlessness roll over you like giant ocean waves (also called sea billows)? Do you sometimes feel small and insignificant, like you don’t matter? Do you feel sad, worried, and down for no reason, or even for good reason?

Do you feel like God is far away and doesn’t care? Don’t trust you feelings, God does love you and is always watching out for you. Psalms 34:18 says God is near to the brokenhearted. (Actually Palms, in the Bible, is a good book to read when you are feeling down) God, in his great loving kindness, was thinking of us when He created the Garden of Eden. There are many plants, whether you use the dried herb or the steam distilled essential oil, hydrosol, or body oil that can help you over come these negative emotions. I strongly believe that these healing plants and essential oils are another wonderful gift to us from God. The Bible mentions used aromatic oils many times.

Therapeutic Aromatherapy Products

The aromatherapy products that I make, the esential oil blends, massage and body oils and facial oils, are made with therapeutic grade essential oils that are certified organic. I would love to get my aromatherapy products certified as organic but that expense will not fit in my budget right now. My suppliers have the proper certifications.

Emotions and Aromatherapy

Emotions are very susceptible to aroma because the aroma molecules are picked up by the olfactory nerves in the nose and the information is carried directly to the emotional center of the brain. Essential oils are very affective for stabilizing, uplifting and generally supporting of emotions.

Christians and Aromatherapy

Sometimes it is hard for Christians to deal with negative emotions, because we are taught that God dwells in our hearts and makes everything better. Which is all true, but when we are in the midst of difficult times we don’t feel like God is with us and we feel miserable. When I was going through a hard time in my life I kept reminding myself that God is near, and things will get better. They did eventually. Using essential oils really helped a lot. That is why I want to focus my business on the emotional aspect of aromatherapy.

When you are going through an emotionally hard time don’t stop reading the Bible and praying. When my emotions were all off and I felt like I just couldn’t pray any more, I just didn’t have the words, I read from Psalms. Sometimes I would just flip through the Bible and look for a psalm that praised God and His loving kindness and I would read it over and over.

Spirituality and Aromatherapy

Much of what you read about aromatherapy and essential oils includes discussions of New Age or eastern religions. They talk about spiritual healing, connecting to the spiritual or divine, creating a holy environment and things along those lines. These kinds of thinking are becoming accepted by mainstream America. But we need to keep in mind that these are New Age, Buddhist, and Hindu religious philosophies.

The only way to obtain spiritual healing is by believing in Jesus Christ as the one and only son of God and accepting Him as your savior. In other words becoming a Christian.

Using essential oils will elevate your mood, bring clarity to your mind and sooth your nerves, which obviously make you feel better and people translate feeling better to having a spiritual moment.

The trouble is in understanding what your spirit or soul is. Some people believe it is two different things, I don’t. I believe that your soul or spirit is your “religiousness”. That part of you that has to do with religion. You emotions has to do with your mood. Your body, spirit and emotions are all inter related and are greatly affected by each other. Your body and emotions can be healed by physical means, meaning nutrition, herbs, essential oils, aromatherapy oils etc. But spiritual healing can come only from God through Jesus Christ.
