Crystal bracelets bought as souvenirs in Hawaii sparked me into wondering about using essential oils to amplify the power of these stones. Knowing how beautifully oils work with chakras and our feelings, I’m positive they can.
I spotted these bracelets when in Hawaii with a bunch of other Young Living members and corporate staff to tour and get a feel for the Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood farm they are in partnership with. It was a wonderful getaway – hard to believe it was a business trip. Doing a Young Living business never feels like business! (Please click here to get in touch with me if you’d love to learn how you could develop an income through your love of oils and helping people.)
The particular species of sandalwood growing there is Santalum paniculatum and it’s unique to Hawaii.
It has a rich, sweet, warm and woody aroma that’s uplifting, sensual and romantic and relaxing. And it’s wonderful for the skin. These traits are typical of fine sandalwood in general, but its aroma can still be distinguished from other sandalwoods – say Santalum album – and its profile of constituents is likewise unique.
This oil works beautifully on the root, sacral, heart and crown chakras.
It seems I’ve wandered mildly off topic but given the relaxed vibe of both Hawaii and the Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, it’s no wonder!
Anyway, back to the crystal bracelets that I spotted in one of the souvenir shops. There were several different types and each had crystals that were chosen especially to use with a matching mantra to evoke certain inner strengths in our daily life.
The first one I picked up was to promote passion. The mantra to repeat was “I am passionate, as is fire.”
This got me to thinking about incorporating essential oils with the mantra and crystals and using essential oils to generally enhance the power of crystals. So let’s get cracking and come up with some pairings to help spark your own ideas if you’d like to try this yourself.
I’ll use the ‘fire/passion’ bracelet as our example. To complement and amplify this as a whole, I’d choose Young Living Live Your Passion™ or Live With Passion™. I’m not being a rocket scientist with that choice! (These are not available in all markets, so see what leaps out to you when scanning the oil blends in your market. Another option is Young Living Highest Potential™ blended with ginger single essential oil.)

Diffusing throughout the day is an easy way to aromatically enjoy the benefits of the oils and keep them hanging in the air around you.
Some of the above listed oil blends are best avoided for topical application if the skin is going to be exposed to UV light within 24-48 hours afterwards. So to keep today’s post simple, let’s run with diffusing as the ideal all-rounder option. And the whole household gets to enjoy the beautiful fragrance and benefits, too!
Essential oils are potent, so as always, please follow directions on the bottle and the usual guidelines for safe use of authentic essential oils.
My preferred source of essential oils and diffusers is Young Living. Not all oils are created equal. Quality varies immensely, so please ensure you are choosing a brand with complete transparency from seed to seal, such as Young Living. Discover why we love them so much in this short video.
