Why EFT and Essential Oils Are a Perfect Pair for Emotional Healing
In the fast-paced world we live in, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, and stress have become almost unavoidable. Many of us are seeking tools that not only calm our nervous systems but also address the root causes of our emotions. Enter Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and essential oils—two powerful modalities that, when combined, can create profound emotional breakthroughs.
Here’s why these two healing tools are a match made in heaven and how they work together to transform emotional well-being.
What is EFT?
EFT, or Emotional Freedom Techniques, is often referred to as “tapping.” It’s a therapeutic technique that involves tapping on specific acupressure points while speaking about your emotions. This process helps to release emotional blockages, reduce stress, and promote a sense of calm and balance.
EFT works directly with the body’s energy system, rewiring the brain's response to stressors. By addressing emotions like anxiety, fear, or grief at their energetic roots, EFT brings relief that feels both immediate and lasting.
How Essential Oils Enhance Emotional Healing
Essential oils, derived from plants, have long been used to support physical and emotional health. The aromatic compounds in these oils interact directly with the limbic system in the brain, the area that governs emotions, memories, and stress responses.
For instance, lavender is well-known for its calming properties, while wild orange uplifts the mood, and frankincense fosters feelings of peace and groundedness. When inhaled or applied topically, essential oils can:
Promote relaxation and emotional balance.
Create a sensory anchor during therapeutic processes.
Encourage deeper breathwork, aiding in stress relief.
The Synergy of EFT and Essential Oils
When EFT and essential oils are combined, the effects are amplified. The tapping clears emotional blockages, while the oils create an emotional environment that feels safe, nurturing, and open to change. Here’s why this combination works so well:
Grounding and Centering: Essential oils help ground you during EFT sessions, creating a calm and centered state that makes emotional exploration more manageable.
Enhanced Focus: The aromas of certain oils, like rosemary or peppermint, can sharpen your focus, allowing you to stay present with your emotions as you tap.
Deeper Emotional Release: Some oils are specifically aligned with releasing trapped emotions. For example, doTERRA’s Console blend is designed to ease grief, while Forgive supports letting go of resentment.
Sensory Anchors for Transformation: Pairing a specific oil with EFT tapping creates a sensory anchor, helping you revisit that peaceful, balanced state in the future simply by smelling the oil.
What Are Essential Emotions Breakthrough Sessions?
Essential Emotions Breakthrough sessions take this powerful pairing even further. These guided sessions integrate EFT with doTERRA essential oils, leveraging the emotional properties of specific oils to create profound shifts.
In an Essential Emotions Breakthrough session, we work together to:
Identify a core emotion or pattern that is holding you back.
Use EFT to release negative beliefs or stuck energy.
Incorporate essential oils to deepen the healing and anchor new emotional states.
For example, if you’re struggling with self-doubt, we might use EFT to uncover its root cause while applying or diffusing Motivate or Citrus Bliss to cultivate feelings of confidence and joy.
Why It Works for Everyone
The beauty of this approach lies in its simplicity and adaptability. Both EFT and essential oils are accessible tools that anyone can use, whether you’re new to emotional healing or well-versed in personal development practices. Together, they create a non-invasive, nurturing way to release emotional pain and step into a more empowered version of yourself.
