Digestion is about more than food
Digestion is not just for food. Ideas, knowledge, and new experiences all require digestion before we can implement the new knowledge and make lasting changes to our lives, mental states, and emotional health.
If you are having challenges digesting food right now, look past that to your emotional, mental, and spiritual being. Where else are you not digesting?
Have you gained knowledge from a course or program and haven't applied it yet to your life and work?
Do you have a million ideas and thoughts swirling in your head about ways to move forward in your life and business, but you can't quite grab onto any of them, or implement them thoroughly?
Has a change in circumstances (a move, an empty nest, a new relationship) caused internal stress (stress can be caused by good things too!) and you haven't yet sat with that and deeply processed the change's impact on you?
We are more than our bodies, and often an issue manifests first as an idea and emotion before it manifests in our bodies.
As an aromatherapist I turn to essential oils to support the digestion process. Bay Laurel (Laurus nobilis) is top of the list for me.
Digestion benefits of bay laurel essential oil
Bay laurel essential oil:
Aides with digestion of food, settles tummy aches, and acts as a tonic for the liver (crucial to digestion)
Aides with digestion of new information and ideas by its stimulating effect on the brain
Aides with digestion of new experiences by acting as a tonic for the nervous system
On the spiritual/subtle energy plane, bay laurel helps us gain self-confidence and self-esteem, and supports our intuition and creativity.
Add a drop or two of L. nobilis to .5 ounces of carrier oil (try apricot kernel oil) and massage over your abdomen in a clockwise direction. Breathe in its fresh, spicy scent and allow it to work its magic on your digestion.
Gain confidence in yourself with your own custom aromatherapy
In life, business, and everything in between, we all need occasional help with digestion, be it food, ideas, experiences, or knowledge.
Maybe you’re at a crossroads in your life and want to move in a different direction, but have so many ideas that you’re frozen in place.
Maybe you’re an entrepreneur who has invested thousands of dollars on learning a new technique, but have yet to implement your new knowledge in a way that benefits your clients (and your bank account).
Maybe you’re having physical digestion issues caused by stress, hormones, or food intolerances.
Whether you relate to those examples or are up against another challenge, I encourage you to book a private aromatherapy session with me. You’ll be nestled in a safe, nonjudgmental space as we talk through what is causing you distress. I will then create a unique blend of essential oils and flower essences to address your concerns (and scent preferences) and get you back on your path. Book your private aromatherapy session here.
