Brain & Memory Support: Inhale Balance oil from cupped hands and apply Balance oil across your forehead, on your ears and on the back of the neck and on the bottom of big toes.  Do this daily.

This blend supports people who are seeking a lifestyle change from alcohol, drug, or sugar addictions.  Apply blend to the forearms, the back of the neck, the bones behind the ears, the bottoms of the feet.⁴

MIND

Balance is the Oil of Grounding.  According to the Emotions & Essential Oils, the negative emotions Balance oil helps to release are as follows: Scattered, ungrounded, disconnected, unstable

The positive properties we can incorporate are the following: Grounded, stable, connected, committed, self-contained, inner strength, persevering

Calming Anger & Range: Diffuse and inhale Balance & Forgive oils.  We are snappy and angry because we aren’t clear on where we are going and we subconsciously try to be overly controlling because any hiccups may lead us to unknown disaster. When we are VERY clear on what we are doing, we become more confident in our ability to resolve challenges that come our way because it doesn’t derail us from our path.

Tranquility: Apply Balance & Lavender on the back of the neck, over the heart and on the wrists – rub wrists together and inhale.

>>I choose to invite tranquility in my life

Meditation: Add to diffuser while meditating.

Locked in Grief Due to Personal Loss: Balance 4 drops, Melissa 2 drops, Wild Orange 4 drops, and Lavender 2 drops. Gently mix and apply to wrists, over the heart, on the throat, on the back of the neck and on low back, 3 times a day.⁵

>>I allow myself to be strong and persevere

Staying Focused & Persevering: Add to your personal necklace diffuser daily to remind you to stay on track. Discouraging things happens to us all but we do not have to let it take us down each time it comes around.  Balance oil encourages you to take everything in strides. What makes us overwhelmed is when we add up all the issues of the past to our current concern.  Even worse some of us add imagined worries of the future, experiences of the past to the current situation.  Balance encourages us to leave the past in the past and the future in the future.

Monkey Brains: Apply Balance oil across your forehead, on your ears and on the back of the neck and on the bottom of big toes.  Do this morning and night. This helps you switch off at night and take it one task at a time during the day.

SPIRIT

Balance invites one to intentionally choose to feel and enjoy the present.  This oil is for those people who are caught up in life good or bad.  Some of us are so used to excessive thinking, speaking, or even spiritual activity.  Balance oil invites one to ‘balance’ and not just take on one task at a time but to enjoy it.

For years, I use to run too far ahead of myself. I was planning in details my weeks and months ahead and living to just check off a tasks off my list.  This behavior is a form of anxiety.  Balance invites us to plan ahead but not live in the future.

If I ever am feeling anxious or overwhelmed, I know it is a sign that I need to be grounded and focus on the positives of today.  I make myself stop and realign.  Balance teaches us to have more FAITH and choose to feel peace & reassurance.

We complain about what we don’t want all the time but many people haven’t clearly identified what it is that they really do want.  This scatters your attention and power and you unintentionally create and manifest things you don’t mean to.

For example:

We can complain that we don’t want to be poor but we haven’t chosen to be rich!  Just because we don’t want something, doesn’t mean the universe knows to give us the opposite of what we don’t want.  We need to use our power of CHOICE to intentionally CHOOSE what we want.

Other examples:

Once we have CHOSEN what we want, then list the details of that really looks like.  If you can’t see it clearly in your mind, you won’t be able to get it.  Even if you get it, it will sleep through your fingers.  Smell Balance oil as you ground yourself and reorient your life.  We can’t keep running helter-skelter around ourselves and complain that we are not happy or moving forward.   We need to slow down and fully embrace our power of CHOICE and focus on living life intentionally.

When you’ve clearly mapped out what you really want to manifest, then it is easier to enjoy the journey as you realize your dreams and desires.

I know that since I am already clear on where I want to go, no matter what hiccups happen to come my way, I can still persevere and move ahead.
