Rose oil is one of my two most favourite single oils. Its smell is the closest thing to heaven I could imagine!

I even got proposed to with a bottle of Rose oil, and of course I said “Yes!!!”

Knowing how precious and expensive that little bottle was, I smelled it a lot, but rarely used it. One day I took it with me on a flight, and when I arrived at the other end, the bottle had leaked and my clothes smelt of roses. I took that as a sign from Spirit that I needed to be more liberal with my oil!!!

Although that relationship didn’t last, my love affair with Rose oil most definitely has.

When I was in Iceland recently, my friend Lilja showed me her favourite tip with Rose oil. When the bottle is empty, refill it just with Young Living’s V6 massage oil and put a roller filament on top to create a roll-on. There is enough residual Rose oil in the bottle so you will enjoy the scent of roses without any additional cost. And then, once that bottle is empty, put 2 drops of Rose oil into it, and top up with V6. Rub it on the top of your wrist, which is an emotional release point…and see how amazing you feel!

Because this works out so cost-effective, one 5ml bottle of undiluted Rose oil will make up to 50 of these 5ml rolller bottles of Rose oil. Use it liberally on anyone around you, so we can help to spread the love!

This week’s bulletin is the first in a 3 part series about Rose oil. Enjoy!!!

But first – if you’re curious to know more about the emotional and spiritual benefits of essential oils, be sure to subscribe to my spiritual blog. Not all of the blogs are about essential oils. This is a broader platform, where I also share about plant and animal wisdom, self awareness and relationship topics, and spiritual tips, however I weave essential oils into the teachings as often as I can….and the next blog on that platform is also about Rose oil, when used in ceremony.

Your Favourite Ways to use Rose Oil

Not all roses are created equal

Did you know that Roses originated in Asia? There are over 250 different species, and more than 10,000 hybrids.

Of the 30 that are renowned for their beautiful fragrance, only three of them are commonly distilled for their essential oil for use in perfumes and more. These are:

• French Rose – Rosa gallica
• Cabbage Rose – Rosa centifolia
• Damask Rose – Rosa damascena

Most of the Rose oil produced in France uses solvents to extract the essential oil from the Cabbage rose. This produces what’s called an “absolute”….and typically some of the toxic solvent can be left behind in the bottle of essential oil.

You definitely don’t want to be putting that on your body!

Why some companies use an “Absolute”

The answer is simple. It’s all to do with the cost. Absolutes are cheaper to make, so they suit any type of commercial application, including the perfume industry.

Yet it’s the Bulgarian Damask Rose (pictured right) that is renowned for producing the finest quality essential oil, sometimes referred to as “Rose Otto”.

This beautiful plant is mostly cultivated in the Balkan mountains of southern Bulgaria, in the Valley of the Roses…..and it’s very expensive to produce.

It takes approximately 10,000 Damask Roses (pictured here) to make just 5ml of Damask Rose oil!!!

And because in Young Living all essential oils are produced with NO CHEMICALS WHATSOEVER, and the single oils are not diluted in carrier oil (meaning your bottle is 100% roses)…well, you can only imagine the cost of production!

This is why 5ml of Rose oil is the most expensive and exquisite oil that Young Living produces.

The Power of Rose oil on the aura

Rose oil also has one of the highest frequencies of any essential oil. At a whopping 320 MHz (compared to the human body, which is approximately 66 MHz)….well, you can just imagine how much of a firecracker a single drop of Rose oil will put into your energy field!!!

Many years ago, I was talking to a friend about the Young Living oils, and I told him I was going to show him the effect of Rose oil on the aura. He already knew how to see auras, so this was going to be loads of fun.

I was standing a few metres from him, and all I did was to take the lid off my bottle of Young Living Rose oil.

I went to put a drop into my palm, intending to pop it on my body so he could see my aura. But even before the drop emerged from the bottle, he was already going “WOW!!!!” My aura had grown just from taking that lid off the bottle!!!! Why? Because I was already inhaling the beautiful fragrance, even before that drop had landed on my body.

Needless to say he was completely sold on the wonders of Rose oil, and promptly ordered a bottle for himself.

Before and After Aura Pics

I had another experience of Rose oil on my aura, also quite a few years ago. I was in Perth, and I had a stall at a local Spiritual Expo. As luck would have it, there was an Aura Photographer at the expo. I’d already decided that I would get some before and after pics done of my aura when using essential oils.

As I was standing in line to have my “before” picture taken, the phone rang. It was my Mum, informing me that my Dad had had a stroke. This was very emotional news for me. Tears were rolling down my face as I stood in line, and I was still highly emotional when the “before” pic was taken.

So what oil would I use? Well, fortunately I had my Rose oil with me, so that was the oil I applied to my chest, and 10 minutes later I had my “after” pic taken.

Check out the amazing transformation in my aura from that single drop of Rose oil!!!!

You’ll see all the beautiful pink/purple that appeared around my heart and throat area, and my face was bathed in yellow (representing illumination). And yes, I felt much calmer and more peaceful after the Rose oil went on.

The Emotional and Spiritual uses of Rose oil

Rose oil is renowned as an emotional tonic of the Heart, able to help us heal emotional wounds. That’s why I love to wear it on my heart chakra, in the lower centre of my chest. As Gabriel Mojay describes in his book Aromatherapy for Healing the Spirit:

Bringing warmth to a Soul grown cold through abuse or hurt, Rose oil can touch the deepest despair, restoring trust that makes it possible to love again.

WOW!!! Don’t we all need some of that!

In addition to being classified as a Herb of Love and renowned as an aphrodisiac, the Damask Rose is also considered to be

the “Holy Rose”, a symbol of God’s Love for the world. That’s why it often appears in images of the Virgin Mary, such as when she appeared to Saint Bernadette at Lourdes in France.
