Emotional Support: Lavender

 

February is the month of love, and a good reminder to love ourselves well! -Eryn Jones

EMOTIONAL USES FOR LAVENDER:

Lavender is great for the many common *fears *we are tempted to give into:

  • Fear of Abandonment, being left alone. Rubbing lavender over the abdomen and using the mantra "I embrace all life's experiences" can help us be open to self-reliance and our contentedness to all things. The opposite of abandonment is not being fully self-reliant, but being connected to everything working together for our good

  • Fear of Criticism. This one is huge, especially if you are in a line of work where you put yourself out there often (or if you have a high-maintenance toddler too! ). Using Lavender as perfume while pairing it with mantras and unconditional love for ourselves can be a great practice for developing self-confidence!

  • Fear of New Things, fear of moving forward. Sometimes there are big transitions in life and sometimes it seems scary to open ourselves up to change. Lavender has a beautiful way of calming the central nervous system to help us be more open to change and gaining positive momentum.
