Step 1
Identify the situation. Think of a current situation that feels overwhelming, frustrating, or confusing.
Once you can clearly picture it, go to the next step.
Step 2:
Name the feeling. Find ONE WORD that describes how you feel when you picture the situation.
Examples: Sad, hopeless, lonely, fearful, etc. Once you have named it, go to the next step.
Step 3
Locate this feeling in your body.
Examples: Heart, head, belly, etc. It could also be expressed in a bodily posture, such as slumping over or clenching your teeth.
Once you have found it, go to the next step.
Step 4
Identify the negative thought. What is the negative thought connected to the feeling?
Examples: "I don't have enough time." "I don't have enough money," "I'm not smart enough." etc. Once you have found it, go to the next step.
Step 5
Smell Essential Oils. Place one drop each of the Memory Release Blend (Lavender, Frankincense, and Stress Away - or an alternative equivalent to this oil) into your palms, and rub together. Inhale deeply while focusing on the situation, the feeling, the bodily situation, and the negative thought.
***Notice what happens to your picture of the situation, and how you feel in your body and mind.
Step 6:
Decide what is next.
Now that something has shifted, you can either:
A. Get on with your day in a more relaxed, calm, and clear mood.
B. Repeat this process (if needed).
C. Use the Aroma Freedom Technique to clear out any issues that you became aware of during this process.
