Monday Memo

Let's talk EMOTIONS

It's Ok to not be Ok. But don't set up a permanent residency for negative feelings...

Have you seen EndGame? Where Thor is crying but denies it, then admits his weakness in crying?

When my husband passed away, I felt that scene deeply. Folks would ask how I was, was I doing Ok, etc, and not wanting to make someone else uncomfortable, I'd respond, "fine."

Fine is a texture of hair, not an emotion.

We are never fine. We are and can be a wide variety of emotional beings, none of which is "fine".

When you become aware and comfortable with emotions, a beautiful thing occurs. You don’t stay in that space for too long.

Many people fight feeling strong emotions because it can be overwhelming. Yet if you allow them to well up, wash over you, knowing it's like the ocean waves, these negative feelings will end, then you're able to process your emotions and move forward.

One of the best essential oil blends to use when this occurs is SARA. For those who know, yes, SARA is an acronym for sexual and ritual abuse. But when you are walking through waves of grief, negative emotions, etc, if can feel like abuse. Abuse from the outside circumstance, perhaps even residual trauma leftover from old wounds. Whatever the case, this oil is a precious gem to have in your back pocket.

When these strong emotions rise up, consider using an oil such as SARA, or another one which is designed to scrub negative emotions out, and breathe it in deeply.

If you are aware of the space I your body where you hold these emotions, applying the oils over that part of your body is helpful.

SARA Essential Oil is a blend of seven different oils that helps to release stress and negative emotions. For those who have had negative experiences that may have "charge" or "triggers". These are unresolved negative emotions that can be restored when brought to your awareness.

Remember, it’s ok if you’re not ok. It’s just not ok to stay there. Enjoy your Monday!
