Healing with essential oils and flower essences

What to do at times of panic?
The following situation might not apply to you if you've never experienced physical panic attacks before. Nevertheless, I would be very surprised if you've never been affected by stress, bad sleep or simply felt worrisome that something is gonna go down...Stressful and fearful situations are no news to current society. A majority of people feel worried every single day.

Let's have a look at possible ways to banish panic, fast.
The physical symptoms of panic attacks are very debilitating. It can start off quite mild, perhaps as a sudden headache, heat sensation, then a faster heartbeat, or a full-body tremor. Some of those signs could be due to natural subtle changes in the body, like lowering of blood sugar, preparing for your menstrual cycle, or feeling the sudden difference in atmospheric pressure. Panic attacks also get triggered by alcohol and caffeine.
If you're a sensitive individual, you notice these changes within and without more than others and it can freak you out.

Energetically, physical panic can be viewed as releasing of the old and preparing space for the new...
In more severe disorders, a physical attack is the body's way of finally processing a highly emotionally charged and stressful event that could happen 6-9 months prior.
Apparently, at that time we haven't dealt with the trauma in a correct way and unconsciously saved it for later. Later never came, and the whole 9 months after, the body decided to literally 'shake it off'.
I can certainly think of such an event 7 years ago, and then experiencing my first panic attack approximately 9 months later.
Not pleasant at all.
However, how wise of my body to make a decision not to carry that baggage around any longer!

So how do we put the panic to rest as it's happening? Here are some personal favorites, tried, tested, and recommended.
This might seem a bit off the charts, but you'll never know until you give it a go! When the attack strikes, you feel dizzy, your heart is pounding and you are sure you are gonna die this time - if you're alone, get down on your knees and beg your angels and guides for forgiveness. You've treated yourself badly. Your lack of self-love and lots of self-doubt got you to neglect your personal needs. Ask them to guide you to love again, know that help is on the way.
Talk to yourself calmly, keep consoling yourself that what your body is doing is only to protect you and that the panic will be over before you know it.
Affirm to yourself that you are safe, that you know what's happening, it is good to release it from the body-memory, and that you are not going to pass out (it is physiologically impossible during a real panic attack), all that fear is only in your head. Breathe deeply, center yourself, and focus on the present moment.


Now, if you're a fancy medicinal witch like me, you are probably familiar with Bach's essences and the DoTerra essential oils.
If not, you should get some now! It's not always appropriate to kneel down, breathe into a bag or you don't have the time to console yourself. The Rescue spray from Bach contains herbs and flowers that will calm you down within seconds of pressing two pumps under your tongue. You can have this tiny salvation bottle in your purse at all times.
Then, I would use DoTerra's Levander oil, it is an all-around relaxant. Put a few drops in your palms and inhale. If you can get hold of Frankincense, I highly recommend that whenever you feel in despair. Put a drop on your '3rd eye' chakra in the middle of the forehead, the temples and the soles of your feet.
Being a DoTerra's consultant, I admit that I'm addicted to their products so I bought nearly all of them. Some time ago I used the Yoga Collection - Anchor on my soles, Affirm on my belly and chest and Ascend on my temples, forehead, and the back of my neck. I felt relieved of all stress and anxiety within 2 minutes.
Trust me, you will grow through what you're going through. Stay patient and stay focused.
Love,
