Try Intuitive Aromatherapy!

Essential oils, chemical essences of a plant diffused and bottled in a very concentrated form, can heal on energetic and emotional levels. To use essential oils intuitively, you can match the origin of the essence to that part of your body. For example, eucalyptus leaf oil comes from the leaves of the tree. The leaves are the respiratory system of the tree. Matching to our bodies, the eucalyptus leaf oil will assist in healing our respiratory system. For grounding, try a root or wood oil such as vetiver, rosewood, or cedarwood. Wood oils are also great for energy protection. Lavender is a universal oil that can ground you as well as energize. Close your eyes and visualize the part of the plant that will match your sense of well being. Experiment by smelling different essential oils to know what will work best. Place a dot of the oil periodically on your wrist during the day. 

For help in opening the 6th chakra (3rd eye) and raising your mood, try the essences of flowers such as rose or neroli . The flower is the highest creative part of the plant representing its spirituality, creativity and sensuality. Thus these oils are powerful for opening up the third eye as well as connecting with someone romantically on higher levels. Jasmine is a well-known aphrodisiac. Pure flower oils can be expensive ($50 per 2ml)-- try to find them in blends. Experiment by smelling different essential oils to know what will work best.  

Note: Aromatherapy only works if you like that particular smell-- so be sure it is a match for your nose!
