We all face intense negative emotions such as fear, anger, and depression at some point in our lives, and we should know These feelings are a natural response to situations where you feel threatened or out of control. These surges of negative, 'low frequency' emotions can leave you drained and fatigued. It's common to retreat into your mind, trying to think of ways to resolve emerging issues, which often leads to confusion and a heightened sense of urgency to regain control. Toxic emotions like anger, fear, and depression may arise from negative beliefs and habitual patterns that need to be released. Relying on addictive coping mechanisms—such as caffeine, drugs, emotional eating, or shopping—along with a fix-it mindset are not sustainable solutions.
The best approach during these challenging times is to take a step back, relax, and allow any distress or confusion to settle. Clarity often emerges when you take a moment to sit quietly and embrace the present, and the actions you must take, if any, will naturally reveal themselves. Navigating significant life changes is an excellent opportunity to resolve and complete old karmic or inherited family patterns. These inherited ancestral patterns, sometimes called mind streams or automatic responses, can surface during these periods.
Doing an emotional detox can lead to remarkable insights into these patterns, and hopefully, you can become conscious of them and change them.
You may experience sudden emotional urgency as unsettling and disruptive events demand your attention, urging you to address these inherited patterns. We can use several healing mechanisms to solve this issue when it occurs, but we will focus on essential oils and crystals here.
Essential oils can be particularly beneficial for detoxifying your emotional body. They can provide a calming effect on the mind until the intense urge to act subsides. Inhaling specific oils can help ground and stabilize the energies released from your emotional body.
Now is the opportune moment to break free from harmful, addictive coping strategies or ancestral patterns.
As you process intense emotions, you can plant the seeds for a fresh start and cultivate new patterns.

Emotional Detox Rituals
When to Engage in Your Ritual
Any time is suitable for the Emotional Detox Ritual. However, conducting the ritual during a full moon or in the two following weeks can enhance your experience, allowing for a more powerful release and resolution of toxic emotions and inherited patterns. This is due to the electromagnetic energy of the waning moon, which helps to alleviate built-up tension and blockages in your emotional body. You can perform your ritual about one hour before the Moon reaches its Full Moon phase or just before a New Moon. Water Moons (Cancer, Pisces, and Scorpio) are especially beneficial for an emotional detox.
Crystals Ritual:
Position a Smoky Quartz crystal (point facing downward if it has one) at your feet to help absorb and transmute any emotional baggage you are ready to release.
You can place your chosen crystal on your solar plexus or another suitable chakra and ask that it dissolve your emotional burdens while the Smoky Quartz absorbs any remaining energy. Consciously direct the energy you release down your body and through your feet into the Smoky Quartz for transformation. If you encounter any unexplained aches, pulling sensations, or pain in your body, lay a Smoky Quartz crystal over the affected area and ask for its release and transmutation. I want you to trust your intuition for insights into the underlying causes, but if nothing comes to mind, allow the feeling to dissolve without needing to understand it.
Use Danburite, Rose Quartz, Selenite, or another crystal that embodies unconditional love over your heart to infuse light and love into the areas where you've released your baggage, gently healing them. Remain still until you feel a sense of lightness. If you notice tension in any part of your body holding onto old emotions, place the crystal over that area and let it help dissolve the tightness.
Affirm to yourself that when you rise, you will have released the past and embraced whatever the present offers. Be sure that your Earth Star chakra is open. Do this crystal emotional healing exercise as much as possible to release emotional trauma. One session might not be enough. I want you to express gratitude to the crystals for their assistance and cleanse them once the process is complete. Many illnesses stem from diseases, which are forms of disharmony resulting from emotional baggage, deep-seated beliefs, toxic emotions, and the lingering pain of the past. Attitudes and ingrained patterns can also contribute to disease, alongside potential past-life influences. Emotions carry their vibrations, which can easily fall out of sync with our daily lives and/or our goals. Psychosomatic illness is not merely imagination; it represents an underlying disease manifesting symbolically, and using Crystals and essential oils can gently restore your emotions to a positive state.
Essential Oil Ritual:
What You'll Need:
A white candle
An essential oil or blend (choose from the recommended oils or create your blend)
A quiet space where you won’t be disturbed
Light your white candle and inhale the aroma of your essential oil. Optionally, you can scent your space before meditating with an aroma diffuser.
As you look into the candle flame, take deep, full breaths, exhaling any tension. The candle flame symbolizes your Divine heart center. Continue to inhale the scent of your oil while releasing tension for 1-5 minutes.
Visualize your body filled with warm, vibrant light.
Direct your focus to the soles of your feet, imagining this warm light moving upward from your feet through your entire body. As it rises, this warm, vibrant light naturally removes any tension.
Allow this radiant light to circulate from the soles of your feet to the crown of your head and back down again.
Your body will feel weightless and transparent as you engage in this ritual.
Your body will feel light, free, and weightless when you feel finished. Experience your vibrant, light body filled with life force energy, with every cell resonating harmoniously.
Breathe in the purity of this harmonious resonance, embodying your perfect original Divine Self in physical form.
Conclude your Emotional Detox Ritual with a moment of gratitude.
