I love Marjoram essential oil.  It is like a sister to Oregano essential oil.  This essential oils is carefully distilled from leaves of the herb.  Like Oregano essential oil, it is just as powerful against environmental threats, yet it is SO gentle on the skin and less hot in the tummy when it is ingested.* .

This oil is great for people who don’t feel like they can or want to be around people.

BODY

When you think Marjoram think MUSCLES!  Many times Marjoram manages things fine on its own and does not need to be mixed with other oils.  Diluting it with fractionated coconut oil and massaging it on the body will bring relaxation and warmth to all sorts of muscles including: feet and legs muscles (occasional cramps), colon muscles (soak in salt bath), tight shoulders and neck muscles, and even relaxes the mind.  It helps relax the cells in the body and allows more circulation connecting the whole body system again.

MIND

Marjoram is the Oil of Connection to Community.  According to the Emotions & Essential Oils, the negative emotions Marjoram oil helps to shift are the following: Distrust, aloof, overly protected, distant, emotional isolation, reclusive, emotionally “cold,” fear of rejection

The positive properties we can adopt are the following: Open, connected, close relationships, warm, soft-hearted, loving bonds, ability to trust, safe

If your mind is so tightly wound up with worry, phobias and stress about being with people, smelling marjoram can relax that mind so you can feel safe.  Marjoram helps with relationship connections.  There is an increasing number of children who lack social skills.  They have troubles reading social cues resulting social awkwardness.  Getting Marjoram molecules into the brain through simply inhaling the aroma can help these children feel safe to connect with others.  You can go a step further and rub this on their big toes or the whole feet in the morning before school to reduce the tension of social anxiety.

Stress & Anxious feelings: Inhale when you are not feeling safe, unable to feel trust for others*

Feeling connection: Inhale to help feel safe becoming close to other people*

I allow myself to be safe with others

I love and accept myself as part of the human family

SPIRIT

Marjoram increases our ability to spiritually connect the divine.  When we are connected to the divine, we can easily connect with others mentally and spiritually.    Have you ever experienced calling someone and they beat you to it and called you first?  You say, “Hey, I was about to call you!” Or “I was thinking about you.”  This is a spiritual connection.  We are all connected and sometimes when we feel disconnected, we find ourselves lonely and lacking in purpose.  Try simply smelling Marjoram as you work with people, you’ll find you understand them not only better but you can ‘see’ what it is that they need.

We are all connected and sometimes when we feel disconnected then we feel lonely and lacking in purpose.  Try simply smelling Marjoram as you work with people, you’ll find you understand them not only better but you can see what it is that they need. Yes, it’s awesome to be connected like that.  As you use Marjoram say aloud:

>It is safe for me to trust and connect with others

When we are connected to the divine power source, we will feel loved.  When you are filled with that love and security, you no longer fear the rejection of others.  We fear rejection because we have rejected ourselves first.  The good thing is you’ll find you can’t get ‘hurt’ or ‘offended’ anymore because you no longer need people to validate your worth.  You have accepted yourself unconditionally.  You know you are of infinite worth.  Soon, you’ll notice that people around you like you and accept you more.

The other good thing is you’ll find you judge and compare with others less.  You are more tolerant and understanding of others when you’re connected to them.  You know where they come from and just know that you’re all doing your very best on this earthly journey!

Hope that helps you understand the power of Marjoram!!
