Experience with Essential Oils, Crystals, and my Self Stretching Technique
My journey with essential oils began during cranial sacral therapy sessions, where the practitioner would gently apply oils to my body. I had heard about this method and felt drawn to it, hoping it could help heal the damage still lingering in my muscles and body from the radiation, chemotherapy, and other toxins from my medical experiences. Although I was told the toxins had long since left my system, my body still did not feel right. Cranial sacral therapy, when paired with essential oils—and later, crystals—became a powerful part of my self-healing journey.
I immediately noticed how the subtle aromas and natural essences calmed my nervous system, allowing deeper release and healing. From those early sessions, I grew increasingly drawn to explore essential oils on my own.
At first, I used them intuitively. Certain oils would seem to call out to me, and I trusted those inner nudges. Then, a friend gifted me an essential oil manual—a guide outlining the uses of specific oils for physical, emotional, and energetic conditions. This helped me become more intentional in my approach. I began purchasing oils to address particular ailments based on the guidance in the manual.
Later in my journey, I connected with a dear friend named Patricia, who was deeply attuned to higher consciousness. She created a special series of essential oil blends specifically for ascension and spiritual awakening. These were formulated with love and care to support the activation of my Light Body and the alignment of my energetic centers.
I found that essential oils, when combined with crystals, created even more profound shifts. Each oil, like each crystal, carried its own vibrational signature. I began pairing certain oils with specific crystals to amplify healing, clarity, grounding, or ascension. For example, pairing frankincense oil with clear quartz during meditation helped me deepen my connection to higher realms. Using lavender with amethyst supported emotional calm and restful sleep.
But eventually, as I evolved on my path and my energy body became more stabilized, I found myself using the oils less frequently. It was not that they stopped working, but rather, I had integrated much of what they were helping me awaken. My body, mind, and spirit became more aligned naturally, and I no longer needed the external support as often.
Essential oils are beautiful allies from the Earth, carrying the life force of plants and flowers. When used with intention, in harmony with crystals and the breath, they can help you shift energy, soothe pain, release old patterns, and elevate your consciousness. If you feel called to learn how to use them intuitively or spiritually, I would be honored to guide you in discovering which oils resonate with your soul and how to combine them for healing and ascension.
In gratitude to the Earth, to the plants, and to the Spirit of healing that flows through all living things.
Self-Stretching:
Alongside my use of essential oils and crystals, I eventually developed a stretching practice that supported my physical and energetic healing in a deeply personal way. After gathering the crystals, I was intuitively drawn to over many years, I realized that traditional stretches and yoga postures were no longer helping my muscles in the way I needed. One day, I simply laid on my bed, moved my leg or arm, and stopped whenever I felt pain or tension. That is when I realized: my body was showing me exactly what it needed.
I began what I now call "free-form stretching." I stopped following exercise books and structured yoga routines and instead allowed my body to guide me. I would twist or move in spontaneous ways until I hit a stiff area, then I gently worked with it, breathing into the resistance, and allowing it to open. This brought not only physical relief, but deep emotional release as well.
As I continued this method, I noticed my body was leading me into stuck, subtle energies from my past—old traumas hidden in the tissue. I spoke to myself as I moved, asking questions, and often receiving answers from within. Over time, I could twist and reach areas I never could before. My acupressure practitioner was then able to release even deeper layers of trauma in our sessions, complementing the self-stretching perfectly.
This bodywork led to vivid dreams—full color, full sensation dreams with sound, smell, light, and interaction. These dreams became metaphoric guides, showing me what I still needed to heal emotionally and spiritually. I had dreams where I communicated with my father and others, receiving messages of gratitude and encouragement. I was told I did not have to hold onto the pain of not being able to save them. I was told I was brave and appreciated.
These affirmations unlocked deeper healing. By continuing to dig into my inner child and soul wounds, where even the most hidden trauma began to release. My body softened. My spirit lifted. And my sense of peace grew stronger. If you feel called to learn this intuitive way of working with the body, I would be honored to share what I have discovered.
Healing is personal. When you listen deeply, your body becomes your greatest teacher.
