My Anger Blend

Let's face it. I need this. 

I first read about this blend on my Facebook DropTalk group.  A mother had used it on her 8 year old boy who had some anger issues.  He was having meltdowns and was getting semi-aggressive with his peers.  My ears perked up because I have two boys that can sometimes have anger issues, as well, especially with one another!  

I wrote down her recipe in my little notebook I keep by my computer on the page where I have most of my "kid" concerns.  I put it on the page that I had written about ADHD, sleepytime blend recipes, and boo-boo sprays.

As I yelled at my kids today for the one-thousandth time to do one simple thing and was feeling SO annoyed with them that they don't listen and aren't grateful and have terrible manners and were lazy bums, I realized that I too have anger issues!  Rightfully so sometimes, I believe, but still!  ;-) I was more than annoyed and screaming and this wasn't how I wanted to be spending my winter break.  No one likes it when I am all crazy. I needed a time out. This wasn't a recipe just for kids.  I needed this blend!

{This sounds bad.  Please note: I love my children to no end and think that they are both wonderful, funny, thoughtful, kind, sweet, and brilliant boys and most of the time I am a kind and patient person but sometimes they are just...so angering!! RAR!}

No more of this face, please!

In any case, on the heels of my Pain Blend making, I decided to make this Anger Blend to hopefully diffuse any more blow ups.  I changed up what I originally saw a bit to make it my own based upon my reading and my oils.  It should be useful to me and my boys!

Here's the recipe:

15 drops Valor

10 drops Orange

10 drops Tangerine

10 drops Release

10 drops Surrender

5 drops Cypress

5 drops Ylang Ylang

These are the reasons I used these specific oils.  Please know that these oils have many other uses but these are the uses that relate to my ANGER BLEND.  Fingers crossed it works!

• VALOR - balances energies and instills courage, confidence, and self-esteem; helps with anxiety and stress
• ORANGE - a relaxant; supports overall well-being and encourages positive emotions
• TANGERINE - promotes happiness and is calming; helps with anxiety, nervousness, and irritability
• RELEASE - releases anger and memory trauma from the liver; helps create emotional well-being; one of the most powerful of the emotionally supporting EOs
• SURRENDER - calming and soothing for control freaks (!); quiets troubled hearts so negative emotions can be released; brings about feelings of inner strength and equilibrium
• CYPRESS - soothes anger; helps life flow better; eases feelings of loss and creates a feeling of security and grounding
• YLANG YLANG - good for anxiety and depression; combats anger and low self-esteem; filters out negative energy; restores confidence and peace

I started writing this post the other day and a couple days later no blow-ups therefore no need to use this quite yet (THANKFULLY!).  We are about to go out for the day with the whole family.  I'm thinking I should maybe bring this for the car ride.  Sticking it in my purse now :-)
