Shifting Your Energy with Essential Oils: From Heaviness to Gratitude and Flow

We all have days where the energy feels off, maybe it’s a low mood that lingers, a heaviness in your chest, or simply feeling disconnected from your usual spark. Essential oils aren’t just for physical support or pretty aromas. When used with intention, they can be beautiful tools to shift your state gently and effectively.

This is one of the reasons we created the Essential Oil Goddess Energy Collective, where we explore how to connect with oils to support your inner world, especially your emotions.

Feeling Stuck? Here's Where to Start

If you're holding onto stress, sadness or frustration, it can be hard to see your way out. Essential oils can interrupt those thought loops and bring your awareness back into your body. They remind you that you have options and that you're not stuck.

Here are a few ways to use essential oils when you're feeling emotionally off balance:

1. Invite Gratitude Gratitude isn't always a natural feeling, sometimes we have to create space for it. Use an uplifting essential oil like Orange or Lavender in a diffuser and take three slow breaths. Ask yourself: What’s one thing I appreciate right now?

2. Release Frustration When you're feeling on edge or reactive, a grounding oil like Black Spruce or Patchouli can help settle your nervous system. Apply to the back of your neck and take a short walk, even if it’s just outside for a moment. Movement and scent work beautifully together to clear built-up tension.

3. Reset and Refocus When your thoughts are spiralling or you’re overwhelmed, oils like Rosemary or Bergamot can help lift mental fog and gently support your mood. Place a drop in your palms, rub them together and inhale deeply. Bonus tip: write down one thing you're ready to let go of today.

4. Anchor Your Day Using essential oils consistently is the secret. You don’t need a big ritual. A simple morning application or a moment to pause and breathe midday can shift the whole tone of your day. Try This Daily Practice: Choose one oil to be your scent anchor. Apply it in the same spot each morning (e.g. wrist, neck or heart space) and set an intention. Even something as simple as “I choose calm” or “I’m open to abundance” creates a shift.

The Oil of the Month Energy Collective

Inside our Essential Oil Goddess community, we focus on an Oil of the Month to explore together. Each oil is chosen for its emotional resonance and to support your growth, shift energy and deepen your connection to yourself.

We invite members to work with the oil daily, reflect on what it brings up and share insights in our private group chat. It’s gentle and supportive and helps you get the most out of your oils.
