Selling your home? Then even if it’s winter, say Hello to Spring Cleaning time!
In Part 1 of our two-part post on prepping your home naturally with essential oils for sale and open houses, we covered how to do that with absolutely zero use of toxic cleaners while imparting your property with spicy-sweet scents that are welcoming and conducive to mood. You can get up to speed on that post here.
Now in today’s Part 2, we go below the surface and look at those tumultuous feelings that can be associated with coming to terms with selling your haven – even harder if it’s filled with happy memories of you or your children growing up – and we explore essential oils that gladly come to your aid.
Essential oils are potent, so as always, please follow directions on the bottle and the usual guidelines for safe use of authentic essential oils.
EMOTIONS RUNNING HIGH?
De-cluttering isn’t your strong suit? Do you find it upsetting or have problems getting the whole household on board with it? Or do you have family members struggling with the idea of selling and moving house?
We recommend diffusing blends that are known for helping with releasing feelings, welcoming the new, moving into the future and accepting change. My Young Living favourites for this are Young Living Release™, Envision™, Into the Future™ and Acceptance™. For individual tailoring to the different feelings around the household, these are also lovely to inhale directly from the bottle or your cupped hands, or worn as your 100% natural personal fragrance daily throughout this process.
Are you new to diffusing? Please find another home for that oils burner or warming plate and invest in a good quality essential oil diffuser (Young Living has a great range available) as a priority. We’ve written up the Whys and Hows of diffusing to make things easy for you.
MAGNIFY YOUR POWERS OF ATTRACTION
Certain essential oils like frankincense and clove have been thought for centuries to attract wealth and positivity. Young Living has made it easy by creating a blend called Abundance™ that includes these oils and can help you to feel a sense of expansion, attraction and magnetism. Not only that, but it smells delicious! Diffuse Young Living Abundance™ daily as soon as you decide to put your house on the market. Put it on a timer to start 10 minutes before open houses and inspections. Its spiced orange fragrance is also beautiful for keeping the air smelling fresh, lively and clean.
Here are more ways to use Abundance™ to support you while selling your home:
- sprinkle a few drops on your Welcome mat (sprinkle the underside if it’s a pale colour)
- ask your real estate agent if you can have the brochures before they give them out; mix Abundance™ in a small glass spray bottle with gin or vodka and lightly spritz them (test first); the alcohol should dry off leaving the paper infused with the Abundance™
- start or dust off your Gratitude journal (or if you’re keeping it up regularly: awesome and keep on keeping on!); diffuse Abundance™ or rub a little onto the tips of your ears and write daily about the things you’re grateful for in your life, envisioning a happy vibe of your home being loved by new inhabitants and seeing yourself in a new home feeling great about your choices and where you are in your life. Young Living Gratitude™ essential oil blend is also divine for this activity, and for any time when you’re feeling like you need to be gladder for simple pleasures and how magnificent it is just to be here
If you’re feeling negative about any part of the selling process, do your best to put your finger on what specifically is bringing you down and choose oils to target that.
It might be some trigger from moving house previously in your life or it might be fear about the uncertainty of where you’re heading versus the status quo you know. If you can keep yourself in a positive vibe about it, the laws of attraction tell us that you’re more likely to move through it with grace and joy.
Young Living gives very user-friendly and descriptive names to its essential oil blends, so when you’ve pinpointed a negative feeling, look through the list of blends and you’ll find things leaping out at you. First instincts are usually the best when it comes to this! Sometimes our inner knowing is much smarter than our logical brains can be.
Please ensure you are choosing a brand with complete transparency from seed to seal, such as Young Living. You can learn in this short video why we only ever recommend and choose Young Living oils and love them so much!
