This is one of our favorite essential oils in our family.  My kids carry a little 2ml vial of it with them in a keychain when they go to school.

Melaleuca or ‘Tea Tree’ essential oil has been used for centuries among the Aborigines of Australia for all sorts of traditional medicinal needs.  Melaleuca essential oil has over 92 different compounds and limitless applications.

Some so called essential oil experts are adamant about not ingesting Melaleuca oil.  However, dōTERRA’s Melaleuca oil is different.  Melaleuca is in the GX Assist which is taken internally.

MIND

Melaleuca is the Oil of Energetic Boundaries.  According to the Emotions & Essential Oils, the negative emotions Melaleuca oil helps to shift are as follows: Parasitic and codependent relationships, poor boundaries, weak-willed, drained emotional toxicity.

The positive properties we can incorporate are the following: Energetic boundaries, healthy and respectful connections, empowered, resilient, safe

The word Melaleuca means ‘black and white’ because of the fire-blackened white bark of some Asian species.  It is interesting because this oil is about energetic boundaries.  Some people can’t distinguish the boundaries of black and white.  Some people allow toxic relationships to perpetuate because they haven’t chosen to establish boundaries.

Melaleuca helps clear negative energetic baggage.  It specifically focuses on co-dependent parasitic relationships or cording.  This oil is for the weak-willed and those with poor boundaries.

When we are drained of life force and energy, we may need to check to see if we are allowing anyone or anything is ‘sucking’ our energy reserves.  Remember, energetic vampires drain us because we allow it.

“I-Can-Say-No” Blend:  1 drop Melaleuca & 1 drop Bergamot mixed in necklace diffuser.

Melaleuca oil helps one say, “NO”.  Saying, ‘no’ isn’t unloving.  Don’t feel guilty about saying, ‘no.’  You are actually helping others stand on their own two feet and learn to be self-reliant.  Add Bergamot oil to help you have the confidence to say, ‘no.’

We allow others to suck our energy because we forget to have self-respect and self-love.  We forget we are equal to everyone else on this planet. We try to be noble by putting ourselves last.  Having a healthy self-love, self-respect invites others to respect us!  It seems to me that people who tend to feel guilty a lot attracts people who blame a lot. Maybe you are a bit of both. The guilty people seems to think that they are responsible for other’s happiness so they take on other people’s problem as their own.  The blamers can’t see that they refused to be responsible for their own choices even though they have chosen to feel what they feel.  Life just happened to them.  They may try to punish others with guilt. “You made me feel sad.”  They blame the universe for their problems.  “My job, my kids, my boss did this….”  Melaleuca oil helps us set boundaries where we don’t allow others to dump blame on us.

When people have a long history of low self-worth, they may find that they suffer from a lot of gut problems.  This is why Melaleuca is in the GX Assist: The GI Cleanser.  It is amazing at helping your body fight against overgrowth of fungus that is not only draining your energy but hijacking your brain and life!

Rub Melaleuca on the bottom of your feet daily to remind yourself of self-respect and self-love by taking the time to identify clearly your boundaries.  Ask yourself, what will you tolerate and what you won’t.

Healthy Boundaries: Dilute and rub on the bottom of your feet, tummy and perhaps the back of the neck.

>>I respect myself and allow others to respect me too.
>>I am clear on what I can control and what I can’t.
>>I no longer sacrifice my happiness to ‘keep the peace.’
>>I am clear on my boundaries and will continue to define it.
>>I advocate for equal energy exchange on all levels

SPIRIT

Spiritually Melaleuca helps remind us that we can respect our God-given ability to choose.  We can and need to choose to be empowered.  It reminds us to respect and honor other people’s agency or power to choose.

We have to hook onto the divine power for a constant source of energy and light.  We can’t hook on others or let others hook onto us or our powers will drained.  Everyone needs to go back to their Divine power source for continuous energy flow.

You will know when others hook onto you, when you will feel drained of energy.  If you are hooking onto other’s energy you will know because it is NEVER completely satisfying.  Blame is a sure sign of hooking onto other’s energies.  Hooking onto each other’s energies violates the laws of nature.

A physical sign of your lack of ownership of your choices is the overgrowth of fungus and other invaders in the gut.  Fungus is a physical manifestation of parasitic energy.  You can gauge your spiritually strength and progression by seeing how ‘clean your physical body is on the inside from fungus, bacteria & parasites.’

Remember your true identity is divine.  Keeping that focus helps you be more self-aware.  Self-awareness encourages self-respect, self-acceptance and self-care which means less tolerance for dark, negative thoughts and energy.
