When life feels overwhelming, it’s easy to feel stuck, burnt out, or as though the weight of the world is on your shoulders. Over the past decade, I’ve worked with many clients seeking relief from stress, anxiety, and a lack of clarity. As a Reiki Master and EFT practitioner, I’ve found that essential oils can play a powerful role in helping clients achieve balance and emotional well-being.
After extensive research, I chose to work exclusively with doTERRA essential oils.
Their purity, quality, and effectiveness have made them an integral part of my practice—and I genuinely believe there’s nothing quite like them. In this blog, I’ll share how these oils can support your journey towards relaxation and clarity, whether you use them during a Reiki session or as part of your daily self-care rituals.
Why Essential Oils?
Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds extracted from plants. For centuries, they’ve been used to promote emotional and physical well-being. Each oil has unique properties, from calming the mind to supporting respiratory health. When life feels out of balance, these oils can help you feel grounded, energised, or simply at ease.
For my clients, many of whom are navigating high levels of stress or anxiety, essential oils are particularly beneficial. They work gently yet effectively to support relaxation, emotional clarity, and a deeper sense of peace.
My Most Trusted Essential Oils and Their Benefits
Over the years, I’ve discovered a collection of oils that I trust wholeheartedly. They align beautifully with the needs of my clients, who often seek relief from stress, burnout, and emotional overwhelm.
Here’s a closer look at some of my favourites:
1. Supporting Emotional Well-Being
Cheer™ and Passion™: These oils are perfect for uplifting the mood and reigniting a sense of enthusiasm. Whether you’re feeling low or uninspired, their warm, citrusy notes bring a sense of joy and motivation.
Motivate™ and Console™: For moments of doubt or emotional heaviness, these blends offer gentle encouragement. Motivate™ helps to rekindle focus, while Console™ provides comfort during challenging times.
Forgive™ and Peace™: Letting go of negativity is vital for emotional healing. Forgive™ supports releasing resentment, and Peace™ helps create a calm and tranquil mindset.
2. Aiding Physical Relaxation and Recovery
Air™ and Air™ Drops: These are my go-to for supporting clear breathing. They’re especially helpful during moments of tension or when the changing seasons affect your wellness.
Lavender and Tea Tree: Lavender is a classic for promoting restful sleep and calming the mind. Tea Tree, with its soothing properties, is excellent for cleansing and refreshing.
TriEase™ Softgels: These are designed to provide seasonal support, particularly useful when environmental stressors feel overwhelming.
3. Promoting Grounding and Inner Peace
Balance™ and Serenity™: These blends are staples in my Reiki sessions. Balance™ helps clients feel centred, while Serenity™ is perfect for creating a deeply relaxing atmosphere.
Cedarwood and Wild Orange: Cedarwood encourages grounding and emotional stability, while Wild Orange’s fresh, citrusy scent helps uplift the spirit.
Petitgrain: This lesser-known oil is incredibly calming and works wonders for supporting emotional balance and relaxation.
How I Use DoTERRA Essential Oils with Reiki and EFT for relaxation and clarity
Incorporating essential oils into Reiki and EFT sessions amplifies their effectiveness. For example:
During a Reiki session, I apply Balance™ to the soles of the client's feet to help create a grounding environment or use Lavender to encourage deep relaxation.
When working with EFT, oils like Motivate™ or Cheer™ are great for encouraging clients to move past feelings of stagnation and embrace positivity.
Each session is personalised, and I choose oils based on the individual needs of the client.
Whether it’s releasing negative emotions or finding clarity, these oils are a gentle but powerful addition to holistic healing.
How You Can Use DoTERRA Essential Oils at Home
Essential oils aren’t just for sessions—they can become part of your daily rituals to enhance well-being.
Here are a few simple ways to get started:
Diffusion: Add a few drops of oil to a diffuser to fill your space with calming or uplifting scents.
Topical Use: Apply diluted oils to pulse points or the soles of your feet to experience their effects throughout the day.
Baths: Add a few drops of Lavender or Serenity™ to a warm bath for a deeply relaxing experience.
Creating these small rituals can help bring moments of calm and clarity to even the busiest of days.
Real-Life Transformations
One of my clients, Sarah (name changed for privacy), came to me feeling stuck and overwhelmed. She struggled with sleep and found it hard to unwind after busy days at work.
Through a combination of Reiki, EFT, and incorporating oils like Lavender and Balance™ into her daily routine, she began to feel more grounded and in control.
Sarah’s sleep improved, and she reported feeling calmer and more capable of handling stress.
