How to Use Essential Oils for Release & Renewal

Energetic Cleansing with Essential Oils & the Moon Cycle

As the energy of the Hunter’s Moon wanes and the waxing energy of the Beaver Moon approaches, we find ourselves in a unique liminal space. This is a powerful time for introspection and spiritual cleansing. Just as Nature prepares for a period of rest and renewal, we can use this lunar interlude to tend to our inner gardens. Introspection can illuminate what serves our highest good and allow us to release what no longer supports our positive growth. Essential oils can assist!

Releasing Negative Energy to Renew Positive Energy

The full moon is a time when the Universe seems to shine a light on both triumphs and blessings and the shadows and unexamined corners of our being. This is not a time for judgment, but for awareness.

What seeds of intention have you sown since the last full moon? What fruits have ripened? Celebrate these successes, acknowledge your progress, and bask in the glow of your accomplishments.

The full moon’s light also reveals areas where we might be holding onto old patterns, limiting beliefs, or energies that no longer serve our journey through life. Perhaps it’s a habit you wish to change, a fear you’re ready to confront, or a lingering resentment that weighs you down.

This period between full moons is an opportune moment to consciously acknowledge these aspects and, with compassion and intention, begin the process of a letting go ritual.

This isn’t about discarding parts of yourself. It’s about refining, much like a gardener prunes to encourage healthy growth. A simple letting go ritual can be a powerful practice for releasing negative energy and making space for the new.

⭐️Release & Renew Essential Oil Blend

Aromatherapy is an excellent addition to your practice of releasing negative energy. Essential oils can help ground you, clear your mind, and uplift your spirits as you navigate the journey of releasing negative energy and renewing positive energy.

• 3 drops Frankincense Carteri (Boswellia carteri)
• 3 drops Lavandin (Lavandula x intermedia)
• 2 drops Lemon (Citrus x limon)
• 2 drops Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens)

How to Use Release & Renew Blend

• Diffuser: Diffuse during meditation, reflection, or journaling as part of your letting go ritual. (Looking for a new diffuser? Check out this blog for my favorites.)
• Inhaler: Add Release & Renew blend to an aromatherapy inhaler. Use first thing each morning and before going to bed to help create a consistent flow of positive energy through your day. This can even be combined with a daily Moon Water ritual, if desired.
• Foot Massage Oil: Combine Release & Renew blend with 1 ounce favorite carrier oil in a pump bottle. Rock well to combine. Massage a small amount into feet before bed. Often when thoughts or feelings are too stubborn to release, a good foot massage helps break the “roots” and promote positive energy flow.
• Hand Cream: Combine Release & Renew blend with 1 ounce favorite unscented cream. Stir very well—I find a small spatula is helpful for this. Rub a small amount between hands, apply to the base of the skull and behind the ears. Then cup hands over nose and inhale deeply into your belly for full lung expansion.
• Aromatic Bath: Combine Release & Renew blend with 2 ounces favorite unscented liquid soap. Makes enough for two reflective soaks.

About the Essential Oils

Frankincense promotes feelings of peace, relaxation, and spiritual awareness. It helps quiet the mind and encourages introspection.

Lavandin helps to release stress and anxiety by encouraging deeper breathing. It fosters emotional balance and gentle self-acceptance. (Learn more about Lavandin essential oil in my book Lavender, available on Etsy and Amazon.)

Lemon helps clear mental clutter, promotes positivity, and refreshes your perspective.

Cypress eases transitions and helps release emotional blockages. It supports feelings of comfort during times of change.

I hope you will let this time between the full moons be a sacred space for spiritual cleansing. Release with gratitude, renew with intention, and prepare to welcome the vibrant energies of the coming lunar cycle with a heart full of light and possibility.
