I want to feel heard and understood

There are times when what we long for most is simply to feel heard. To feel that our words matter, that our voice carries weight, and that others truly understand what we are trying to express. For me, this is deeply connected to my sense of balance and emotional well-being—and one of the most beautiful ways I’ve found support is through essential oils.

When I want to feel heard and understood, I often reach for Bergamot, Clary Sage, Lavender, Spearmint, and Rosemary. Each one holds a special place in my practice:

  • Bergamot uplifts and softens self-doubt, helping me feel more confident in sharing my truth.
  • Clary Sage opens creativity and self-expression, grounding me in my authentic voice.
  • Lavender soothes tension, allowing me to communicate with calm and clarity rather than stress or frustration.
  • Spearmint refreshes my thoughts, helping me speak in a clear, concise way that’s easy for others to understand.
  • Rosemary sharpens memory and focus, so I feel steady and articulate when I need to share something meaningful.

My Throat Chakra Blend
Alongside these oils, I also use a special Throat Chakra blend with Frankincense, Cypress, Geranium, and Eucalyptus. This blend feels especially supportive when I want to align my inner truth with the words I speak.

  • Frankincense connects me with my intuition, so I know I’m speaking from a place of wisdom.
  • Cypress encourages flow and release, helping words come more easily.
  • Geranium supports the heart connection, so my words are filled with kindness and compassion.
  • Eucalyptus opens the airways and invites clarity, helping me breathe deeply and express myself with confidence.

When I use this blend, I feel it helps me speak truth with kindness and compassion, verbalize what is important to me, and connect with my intuitive abilities. It’s like an anchor that helps me remember that my words matter—and that it’s safe to share them.

Beyond Essential Oils
While oils are my foundation, I love to add other practices that strengthen my ability to feel heard and understood:

  • Sound Healing: Chanting or humming can stimulate the throat chakra and release blocked energy.
  • Crystals: Blue lace agate or aquamarine are wonderful companions for communication and clarity.
  • Writing: Journaling before a conversation can help untangle emotions and bring clarity to what you want to express.
  • Breathwork: Gentle breathing exercises open the chest and throat, helping words flow more naturally.

Making It a Practice
What matters most is consistency. Whether it’s oils, sound, journaling, or another practice, find something that resonates with you. Make it part of your daily rhythm. The more we repeat these supportive rituals, the more they create lasting shifts in how we show up and connect with others.

Remember: The goal isn’t just to be heard by others—it’s to truly hear yourself first.

If you are new to using essential oils, or if you already have oils but aren’t feeling the effects or are unsure of their quality, it’s important to know that quality truly makes all the difference in what we can experience. I choose doTERRA because their oils are pure, potent, and made with care. Every drop is thoughtfully sourced, ensuring not only the highest quality for me but also supporting the farmers and communities who grow and harvest these plants. It means a lot to me to use products from a company that values sustainability, ethical practices, and the well-being of everyone involved—from the person harvesting the plants to the person enjoying them at home. Knowing that both ends of the bottle are cared for makes using these oils feel truly meaningful and aligned with my intention to support my health naturally.
