Did you know that when you drop an essential oil onto yourself from a height, it is integrating with your aura (your energy field) long before it actually touches your body. For that reason, the best way to apply an essential oil to your skin is to hold the bottle at least 6 inches above your skin, and let the drop fall naturally out of the bottle (without shaking). Be patient! Some oils are more viscous than others, and may take longer to come out of the bottle. But let the oil take its time, and nourish your aura on its journey to your skin.

Be aware: If you are dropping the oil close to sensitive skin (such as eyes or face), hold the bottle closer to your skin so as not to accidentally land a drop where it shouldn’t go! (eg. in your eyes!). And always remember – if you do get essential oil into your eyes (or onto any sensitive tissue where it is burning), always use a good quality vegetable oil to extinguish the heat (as washing it with water will only make it burn worse). Yes, you can even put good quality vegetable oil in your eye!
