An aromatic gum resin, Galbanum oil has been described as “intensely green.” It has a balsamic and grounding characteristic quality. Its scent is rich, musky, earthy and herbal with subtle piney notes.

Galbanum is an ancient plant that originated in Persia (Iran, Turkey and Syria). Traditionally, Galbanum was used for making incense. It is mentioned in the Book of Exodus for this purpose.

Ancient Egyptians highly favored Galbanum as a holy plant and the “green” incense of ancient Egypt is thought to be Galbanum.

Galbanum is one of the oldest herbs of recorded in history, Hippocrates used it. Pliny the Elder, an author and naturalist during the early Roman Empire, ascribed “extraordinary curative powers” to it.

Mythological texts refer to Galbanum as the sacred “Mother resin.” It's musty green scent is especially appreciated by perfumers. It has been used for making fine perfumes.

Psycho-emotionally, Galbanum has a calming, balancing, and grounding effect upon the mind and emotions.

Galbanum is comprised of over 60% beta-pinene known for its ability to increase mental alertness, focus, clarity and overall cognitive functions.

It has a feminine and softening quality making it useful as a yin tonic for calming the nerves and balancing excessive yang states.

Its nature is strong and enduring. Use only a tiny amount when blending as its potency can take over a blend.

Galbanum’s color frequency is in the green to blue range.

Chakra Balancing

Galbanum is useful for clearing and balancing the 4th chakra (heart) of excitement, worry and conditions related to stress, 5th chakra (throat) for those with sharp and critical tendencies in speech, 6th chakra (brow) for lucid dreaming and deepening sleep patterns, 7th chakra (crown) for opening the higher mind to new revelations and innovative ideas.

Self Care Recommendation

Use when feeling overwhelmed by life circumstances

Dispense 1-3 drop of Galbanum pure essential oil on a cotton ball, tissue or smell strip. Slowly introduce the oils into your system by breathing in their vapors. With each inhalation deepen your breathing by expanding your lungs more fully. Continue breathing the aromatic vapors for 10-30 seconds. Then allow yourself to rest for 5 minutes.

Play some quiet and peaceful music, or relax in a hot sea salt bath as you rest and relax. If any worrisome thoughts surface just allow them to fall away; don't engage with any worry at this time.

Breathing the vapors of your Galbanum oil several times each day in this way will train your mind to be quiet and still. You must take control over your mind and teach it how to be calm and quiet, not run around with worry.

Galbanum oil can help you stay in a more resourceful state of mind and find solutions to any dilemmas you may face. But first you must take a moment to use your Galbanum oil and allow yourself to be quiet and peaceful. This is your first step.

To Do List - Prioritize

After completing the above aromatic Self Care Recommendation exercise above, in a relaxed and easy manner, take a clean sheet of paper and write your to do list. Don't think just write. Take no more than 1-5 minutes tops to write your list.

Now review your list. Mark off half of what you have written down. Don’t think, just do! Spontaneously mark off half the items on your list.

What remains on the list are your top priorities. Now beside each of your priorities write down how accomplishing this item on your list makes you feel.

Once again mark off items on your list. This time let go of anything you do not want to do.

Now prioritize your list in order of what's of most value to you. Do the two top priorities on your list and let the rest go for today.

After completing your top two priorities on your list allow yourself to enjoy the satisfaction of completing your tasks. Tomorrow plan to do the next two top priorities on your list.

The Universal Law of Attraction 'Ask and You Shall Receive' is always operating.

This is an easy exercise you can use to check in with yourself to find out what you're really asking for and expecting the universe to deliver to you.

The creative intelligence of the universe always responds to your requests.

Every thought you think is literally an affirmative prayer. The more energy you put into your prayer thoughts the more quickly the universe will deliver your request.

Take time right now to write down the questions you are asking the universe.

You can tell what questions you are "consistently" asking by the results you are getting in your life. This doesn't mean you don't have challenges in your life. Challenges can be seen as a gift as they help strengthen you and prepare you for the next stage of your journey.

It's not what happens in your life, but the meaning you give to what happens and how you choose to respond that gives you your results.

Are you asking, "Why does this always happen to me?"

Or are you asking, "How can this be a gift? How can this help me? How can I use this for my evolution and growth?"

You can choose to frame every circumstance in your life as positive or negative. Ultimately only time will tell because something that appears entirely negative may result in enormous blessings for you later on. And vice versa, what seems a great blessing may turn into a worrisome burden later on.

Life is a never ending cycle of up and down events.

Your thoughts are nothing more than a constant stream of questions and affirmative thoughts.

What question you ask determines the quality of response and result you will receive.

This exercise will help you become aware of the "quality" of questions you're asking, so that you can consciously choose to create more experiences of joy and satisfaction in your life.

Give up your expectations and accept the best!

Take time to consider one, or more, challenging events in your life that have turned into blessings? Write them down.

Personal Identity?

Explore how you identify yourself as a personl. There is no right or wrong way to identify your self. However, how you think and feel about your self as a person is an all important consideration. 

How you innately feel about yourself as a person can increase or decrease your feeling of satisfaction and being overwhelmed. For instance, you could inadvertently be adding to your level of stress through your personal self-identification(s).

You are continually broadcasting to your friends, family and your world how you identify and feel about yourself as a person.

Your personal identity is the paradigm from which you operate in your world and colors your perception of reality.

Personal Identity Exercise

You are going to find out exactly how you think and feel about yourself personally by quickly jotting down how you primarily identify yourself.

What you will need:

A clean sheet of white paper.

Examples:

Do you frequently identify yourself as a mom, dad or parent?

Do you identify yourself by your job, or occupation?

Do you identify yourself as a member in a particular organization, or club?

Do you identify yourself as living in certain neighborhood or town or part of the world, citizenship?

Do you identify yourself as a vegan?

Do you identify yourself as a spiritual being?

Other identifiers:

Athlete, divorced, widowed, elderly, disabled, entrepreneur, artist, veteran, brave, resourceful, intelligent, stupid?

How do you identify yourself as a person? Fill in the blank.

The ways you might identify and think of yourself as a person are countless. Just jot down whatever immediately comes to your mind.

It's important that you take the time to write down how you identify yourself as person, not just think about it in your head. Through this process you'll discover far more of the truth about how you "feel" about the personal identity paradigm you operate from within.

After you have your list consider briefly how you "feel" about each of the ways you identify yourself as a person. Allow yourself to reveal your true emotions and feelings about how you identify yourself as a person.

After you complete your personal identify exercise consider if you might want to release and let go of some of your previous identifications. Or, perhaps you feel so much exhilaration when thinking of yourself identity as a person that you want to expand this part of your identification.

Your mind will always try to identify you personally with something. You need to choose what feels best for you and supports you to most fully express your authentic being.

6 - Vetiver (Vetiveria zizanioides) - The Grandmother

A rare and mysterious fragrance, Vetiver oil’s scent is rich, earthy, sweet with spicy notes. A thick, resinous oil with deep, dark and mysterious energies, Vetiver can support and comfort you in times of stress. Its soulful essence is resonant and grounding.

Chemical Family: Sesquiterpenol

The primary chemical class for Vetiver is Sespiterpenol. Oils in this class represent The Grandmothers in aromatherapy. Vetiver’s high sesquiterpenol content gives it its deeply soothing, relaxing and grounding effect.

Vetiver is my first choice for relieving anxiety and panic.

I once had a panic attack. It was on the day my son went off to college. I didn't know what was happening really. I just couldn't breathe and had a feeling of impending doom. A neighbor stayed with me all through the night. By morning I was truly exhausted and beside myself not knowing what was happening to me.

I called a nurse practitioner friend of mine who immediately told me, "You're having a panic attack." I of course immediately knew what to reach for, my friend Vetiver. As soon as I took a whiff of Vetiver oil I immediately settled down and the panic attack never returned.

No essential oil is the right remedy for panic, anxiety or feelings of overwhelm. What works for you will be individual to you. Experiment and find out the particular essential oil, or blend, that’s right for you that you can rely upon in your time of need.

Common Uses Vetiver Oil:

Feel Your Feelings!

Your feelings just want to be felt. Think of your feelings like a young child wanting your acceptance and reassurance. Being the loving parent and taking time to feel your feelings is one of the most wonderful acts of Self Love you can give to yourself.

It's simple, just BE with your feelings, whatever they may be. Self love and acceptance of your feelings results in profound and deep healing of your emotional body.

Gestalt therapist Fritz Perls was quoted as saying, "Anxiety is excitement without the breath." So practice breathing acceptance into your feelings.

There are basically only a few emotions you can experience: joy, sadness, fear, anger and erotic or sexual feelings.

Of course there are an infinite number of colorations and variations upon these primary emotions.

Some emotions can be very intense though most feeling we label "negative" only last momentarily if fully embraced.

When you resist your feelings or medicate your feelings with food or other distractions you short circuit their purpose, prolong your experience of short term discomfort and create needless suffering for yourself.

Your emotions have a message for you. Listen to their message!

Sometimes you will be prompted to take action after embracing and feeling your feelings. At other times nothing is required other than to just BE with your feelings - acknowledge, experience and accept them.

Any feeling can feel uncomfortable if you associate pain with it. For instance you may stifle the feeling of joy because you associate a belief that it can't last, or soon you'll be disappointed.

You may have to actually train yourself to sustain your experience of feeling joy!

The feeling of joy is your natural feeling state. Joy is the experience of being fully alive and experiencing aliveness.

Next time an uncomfortable feeling comes up allow yourself to experience it fully. Practice breathing into it and just BEING one with it. Allow yourself to experience your feelings fully and see what happens.
