It smells amazing and is a fan favorite for good reason. We love to use it in roller blends, linen sprays, and in the diffuser! Check out some of these favorite recipes and try one today!

They are a great way to use Release for calming racing thoughts, especially at bedtime and during travel. To make a spray, simply add distilled water, essential oils, and a splash of witch hazel to a spray bottle! We usually use about 20 drops of essential oil in a 2oz spray bottle.

image DIFFUSER BLENDS WITH RELEASE Diffusing this powerful blend is a wonderful way to use it via aromatherapy. You get the benefits of the scent-brain connection, and multiple people can benefit at the same time. Diffuse one of these combinations throughout the day, while you sleep, or as you journal, meditate, pray or sit quietly and process emotions.

  • Let it Go: 5 drops Release, 4 drops Lavender, 2-3 drops Vetiver
  • Weighted Blanket: 4 drops each Release, Tangerine, White Angelica
  • Peaceful Feelings: 4 drops each Release, Sacred Frankincense, Sacred Sandalwood
  • Deep Exhale: 4 drops each Release, Cedarwood, Lavender
  • Forgive Not Forget: 4 drops each Release, Forgiveness, Bergamot

HOW TO USE THESE RECIPES The specific combination of oils in the Release blend helps to open the subconscious mind through stimulating the pineal gland - a part of the brain where memory and mood are processed. When you're using Release (or any other oils!) for emotional processing and support, you want to use them frequently and consistently. There is no wrong way to use them, but here are some of our favorites:

  • Apply or diffuse them while journaling, praying, reading scriptures, meditating, even practicing yoga or stretching.
  • Apply and diffuse them throughout the day and while you sleep.
  • Apply, diffuse and deeply inhale them as you revisit past hurts and utilize visualization to rewire your nervous system.
  • Apply and diffuse them as you write a letter to yourself, a younger version of yourself or someone else (you don't have to send the letter!)
