Using oils with intention
CONVERSATION THYME
A Ritual fo Challenging Conversations
Place one drop of dōTERRA Thyme Essential Oil on your heart center and then activate in your hands by rubbing together and then inhale a few times before your important conversation. The cool thing about this is that when you enter into this conversation in person, they will also be the benefit of Thyme because they will be able to smell it.
Forgive yourself and the other person BEFORE you go into a conversation with them. (See Podcast 20 (Oil of Sexual Harmony / Cinnamon where we talked about Forgiveness)
Tell the person your expression of emotion (ie. anxiety, fear, etc.)
Tell the person the “story” you have made up in your mind (ie. They’ll leave me, disown me, judge me)
Tell the person your ideal situation of resolve (ie. Desire to have civil, honest communication, simply to just be heard, etc.)
