BACKGROUND

Formulated by Young Living Founder D. Gary Young, Release is an emotional blend of 16 essential oils in an olive oil base: Ylang ylang, Lavandin, Geranium, Royal Hawaiian sandalwood, Grapefruit, Tangerine, Spearmint, Lemon, Blue cypress, Davana (a POWERFUL emotional oil!) Kaffir lime, Ocotea, Jasmine, Chamomile, Blue tansy (highly supportive and calming to the Central Nervous System), and Rose. These oils are high frequency and powerful for allowing us to tap into the root of our emotional distress, honor the past experiences and release the pain to move forward in our full potential.

RELEASE & EMOTIONS

Release is a helpful blend to aid in releasing anger and memory trauma from the liver in order to create emotional wellbeing. It helps open the subconscious mind through pineal stimulation (sandalwood and tansy stimulate the pineal gland) to release deep-seated trauma.

For our purposes, trauma can be defined as “any situation where you got less than you needed and were not equipped to process it.” These traumas actually get stored deep within our cellular memory, and we can use the limbic system of the brain to help shift our thoughts and emotions around these traumas and patterns.

* Anger

* Frustration

* Being held back

* Rebellion

* Feeling wronged

* Fear of success

* Loss of identity

Each essential oil in this blend was chosen for a unique purpose:

* Ylang Ylang: helps balance male and female energies within the body, promotes relaxation, confidence and equilibrium

* Lavandin: has been historically used for its cleansing properties and may promote tissue regeneration

* Geranium: stimulates the nervous system, assists in balancing hormones, and helps release negative memories

* Sandalwood: high in sesquiterpenes, stimulates the pineal and limbic centers of the brain to allow for removal of negative programming and allows for new memories and neural pathways to be built

* Blue Tansy: specifically calming and supportive of the Central Nervous System, cleansing to the lymphatic system and liver (storage organ for anger within the body), emotionally combats anger and negative emotions to promote feelings of self control

* Grapefruit, Tangerine, Lime and Lemon: high in limonene, a constituent well known for its health benefits, these citrus oils are uplifting and cleansing

* Davana: a powerful emotional tool, this oil helps release feelings of hopelessness, promotes peace and tranquility

* Jasmine: an uplifting essential oil that may combat feelings of hopelessness, nervous exhaustion, worry, indifference and sadness.

* Rose: a very high frequency oil, helps bring balance and harmony, helps overcome feelings of insecurity and open the heart to joy

* Chamomile: helps dispel anger and release emotions linked to the past, stabilizes the emotions and calms the mind

* Ocotea: a powerful cleansing oil, may increase feelings of contentedness

* Spearmint: cleansing and uplifting to the body and mind, opens and releases emotional blocks to bring feelings of balance and lasting well-being

Release essential oil blend is a powerful emotional tool to help release feelings of anger and often suppressed memories of trauma. Processing and releasing these emotions can have a profound effect on both emotional and physical health! This blend of oils works to release these feelings by stimulating the pineal gland, which connects our sense of smell to our memory and emotions.
