From the physiological effects of essential oils to their impact on subtle energies, aromatherapy provides a wonderful means of opening a pathway to our creativity.We were all born with limitless curiosity and an affinity for exploring our worlds through our senses. As young children we create, play, and learn, with joy and open minds. Our natural state is one of creativity and exploration.Without a source of creativity in our lives we feel disconnected from our humanity, which can result in depression, anxiety, loneliness, and spiritual isolation.So it stands to reason that with creativity as part of our lives, we experience joy, love, peace, and spiritual fulfillment much more easily and often. It’s how we’re designed to operate.When we create, our bodies are relaxed, our heart and minds open and free. We are in the flow, connected to the Divine. Our insights are deepened and our intuition engaged.Many essential oils have the ability to help us attain this creative, connected state by stilling the mind, grounding the spirit, focusing our attention, deepening the breath, and connecting us to Divine inspiration. Some essential oils I rely on for enhancing the creative process are sandalwood, neroli, rosemary, frankincense, and spikenard.Flower essences are another helpful tool from Nature. I add flower essences to my aromatherapy blends to enhance their healing power. For creativity I like to add pink monkeyflower. This flower essence supports the courage to take emotional risks and gently opens the soul, two actions that are essential to creativity.Try it for yourself - I have created an aromatherapy blend that has helped many people, including myself, tap into their creativity and a deeper meditative state. It's called Creative Flow and you can order a 2 oz spray here.
