I would encourage you to open your cards and read your guidebook. There is a section on clearing your cards. Once you have cleared your cards,  spend some time with them. Shuffle them, hold them and explore. When you are ready, you can begin your first card reading.

Ideally yes - you want to have the oils listed on the cards you draw. The oils serve as an important part of the balancing. If you do not have the oil, make note of it and perform the meditation while connecting with the resonance of the oil. This can be done by visualizing the oil, imagine yourself holding it and smelling it and allow the scent to fill your bodymind. If you find specific oils or blends coming up for you often that you do not have, you may want to consider getting them.

Absolutely. Our chakras are connected with each other and thousands of other energetic points in our body. An imbalance in one chakra influences all chakras and you can never just work with a single chakra. The chakras highlighted on each card give you a starting point. You can use your oil and the card message to work with the energy center you feel drawn to.

Some essential oil companies have blends with a focused intent. They are powerful ways to work with complex concerns. Each company has different names for their blends, so common/generic names have been given on the cards. Click here for a chart with the specific names connected with various companies.

Listen to your heart around this. If the cards come to mind, chances are it is time to pull a card. Some concerns take a little time to balance, so give yourself the time your bodymind needs to process before moving on. When you feel like things have shifted through, you can move to another focus. When you are simply wanting to pull a card for a resonance, that can be done daily to create a purposeful day. Any time you are feeling you need clarity, you can draw a card to connect with your inner wisdom.

Yes - these cards are a wonderful way to help others. Aromatherapists, Advocates and Intuitives find these cards helpful when working with those who desire emotional and energetic shifts. You can complete the reading with the intended recipient in mind, or have them draw the card(s) and you help them understand the message and connect with the oil.

First, listen to your heart and what oils you are feeling called to. Your bodymind will give you an indication of what will serve you best in this moment. If you are unsure, or are not feeling called towards a specific set of oils, I invite you to explore the oils I love. Click here to learn more.
