There have been moments in my life when I had to dig deep—times when challenges felt overwhelming and I wasn’t sure how I’d find my way through. I know what it means to feel tested and to long for strength and independence. That’s why I share so openly, because I’ve been there too. Along the way, essential oils have become beautiful companions, helping me reconnect with my resilience and reminding me that I am capable of standing tall — despite the challenges.
The oils I turn to most to boost inner strength are Vetiver, Frankincense, Cedarwood, Clove, Bergamot, Rosemary, and Lavender.
- Vetiver and Cedarwood root me deeply, strengthening my sense of stability.
- Frankincense reminds me to rise above fear and connect with my inner wisdom.
- Clove is fiery and empowering—it supports courage and self-confidence.
- Bergamot helps me release doubt and embrace worthiness.
- Rosemary sharpens focus and clarity, giving me confidence to make decisions.
- Lavender softens edges, reminding me that strength doesn’t mean hardness—it means resilience balanced with gentleness.
How I use them: Before tackling a task that requires confidence, I like to apply a blend of Vetiver, Clove, and Bergamot to my wrists. The earthy, spicy, citrusy mix helps me stand taller and feel more capable. Diffusing Rosemary and Frankincense in my workspace or at home also keeps me clear-minded and strong in my choices. I like to apply a dab of Frankincense over my heart area, to feel protected and to remind me that I have the wisdom to make the right choices.
Beyond Essential Oils
- Sound: Drumming or steady rhythmic beats can be grounding and empowering.
- Crystals: Black tourmaline and tiger’s eye are wonderful allies for resilience and inner strength.
- Movement: Yoga poses like Warrior II or Mountain Pose remind me of my inner power. Also, simply standing for 2 minutes in the Superman (Superwoman) pose can instill a sense of inner strength.
- Affirmations: “I am stronger than the challenges I face, and each step forward makes me more resilient.” and “I trust myself and my inner wisdom to guide me toward balance, strength, and independence.”
- Breathwork: Practicing the power breath.
Power Breath (3–Part Breath with an Affirmation)
-
I sit comfortably with my spine tall and shoulders relaxed.
-
Inhale slowly through my nose in three parts:
-
First, fill my belly.
-
Next, expand my ribs.
-
Finally, lift my breath into my chest.
-
-
Holding gently for a count of 2.
-
Exhaling slowly through my mouth, releasing fully.
-
With each inhale, I silently repeat: “I breathe in strength.”
-
With each exhale, I silently repeat: “I release all doubt.”
Repeating this for 5–7 rounds is a good practice and helps me feel grounded and more centered in my inner power.
Making it a Practice
Strength grows with repetition. By returning daily to oils, breath, and grounding practices, I build not just independence but a steady inner trust that I can always lean on.
♥ Remember: You already carry the strength you need—trust yourself and take one courageous step at a time.
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.
