Hello Readers,

As we approach the holiday season, it's always helpful to review useful tools for mitigating emotional situations. This month I offer a fresh look at Resolving Your Core Emotional Issues which may come in handy.

Blue Tansy essential oil can be used for transmuting Misunderstood into Supported.

Are you well-proportioned with a slender appearance? Are you both theoretical and practical, with a drive to do things that are worthwhile? Then you might be a Thyroid body type.

One question that comes up regarding "Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils" has been, “Why would you want to clear a positive emotion?” For example, Manifesting is listed as an emotional pattern to clear, transmuting it into Rejection. At face value that sounds like transmuting a positive emotion into a negative one. All emotions listed are fear based, so Manifesting is fear of manifesting. The Other Side is Rejection. Rejection relates to limiting beliefs. Beliefs, thoughts, self-talk, unconscious programing, anything that gets in the way of you manifesting your desires. Rejection is the rejection of anything that no longer serves you and is holding you back. This is an example of a word that has both negative and positive qualities.

As always, I hope and trust that these newsletters help you enjoy a happier, healthier life.


Health and Happiness,
Dr. Carolyn Mein

As we enter the holiday season, with increased time spent with family, friends and colleagues, it’s a good time to address Core Emotional Issues. These provide an opportunity to better understand ourselves, others, and how we relate to each other – leading to more enjoyable and productive interactions.

Relationships teach us to love unconditionally – first ourselves, then others. The people we attract into our lives help us to see our obstacles to unconditional love, so that we can identify and release them. Our Core Emotional Issues are triggers that bring these obstacles to light.


What are Core Emotional Issues?

During my research developing the 25 Body Type System, I discovered that each body type has a set of specific emotional challenges that present a recurring, dominant theme throughout our lives. These root emotions are the prevalent ones that show up over and over again, have the most emotional charge associated with them, and often interfere with major life decisions. I call these Core Emotional Issues, or CEIs.

CEIs have a major impact, often operating subliminally or subconsciously without your full awareness. They are generally imprinted by age five by an incident, and perceived as an emotional trauma. They often express as a recurring theme that holds you back in life.

They can influence your actions and choices on a level far more deeply than you are aware. They can cause you to hesitate or resist moving forward in life, accepting new challenges or opportunities, and reaching your full potential. In this way they can act as roadblocks in your life.

CEIs are often the “root” emotion that causes you to experience other emotions. For example, when you are feeling Attacked (physically, emotionally or psychically), look to see if there is a root or underlying emotion for this emotion of Attacked. The CEIs for your body type may be the root emotion. For a Skin body type, the CEI of Criticism may well be the root cause of feeling Attacked, if the criticism is perceived as a personal attack.

Looking for a root cause or emotion is a useful skill for both individuals and practitioners alike, and this topic is covered in-depth in my course Emotional Wisdom with Essential Oils. There is a way to address CEIs, and once resolved they can become your greatest strengths. Resolving your own CEIs will positively affect your relationships, because you won’t be triggered by them.


Why are CEIs Related to My Body Type?

Why do people sharing the same body type also have the same CEIs? Body type is based upon the dominant gland, organ or system of the body; and we know from Chinese acupuncture that emotions are stored in specific organs or parts of the body. For example, Anger is stored in the liver, and Anger is one of the CEIs of the Liver body type. The emotions stored in the namesake gland, organ or system of a particular body type are some of the CEIs for that body type.

Each of the 25 body types has between two and 7 CEIs. The CEIs for your body type are listed in your Body Type Profile; the CEIs for all 25 body types are listed in Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils, as well as in Oils Lookup. If you don’t already know your body type, you can take the test.

Or, look at the list below of all CEIs for each body type - if they resonate, click the link to read about that body type - and see if it seems like a fit:




How Can I Resolve My CEIs?

Many emotional release techniques attempt to train you to suppress the undesired emotion when it occurs. My technique creates a new pathway from the undesired emotion to the higher vibrational aspect of that emotion, allowing you to transmute it. For example, Anger is an outburst of “negative” emotion – while the “other side”, or higher vibrational aspect, of Anger is a “positive” outburst – Laughter. Laughter can release the energy of Anger, and lead to a more productive resolution.

I have found that clearing an emotional pattern is most effective when connecting and releasing all aspects: the emotional, mental, physical and spiritual.

Feeling both sides of the emotion provides a focus and gives the blocked emotion a positive direction in which to move. Knowing both sides of the emotion allows for a mental understanding and brings the experience into a conscious awareness.

The spiritual aspect is achieved by the transition statement or “way out” which provides a means of moving from the negative to the positive side of the emotion. Learning the lesson of the experience provides spiritual growth.

The physical aspect is achieved through the acupuncture alarm points, releasing the unconscious trigger from where the emotion is held, so that it’s released from the body.

Essential oils access the limbic system of the brain which is the seat of emotion. When essential oils are applied to the alarm points, the cellular memory stored in the body is released.

The roadmap for this technique is in Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils. This book now includes clearing patterns for 573 emotions using 181 essential oils.

For more convenient access to the clearing patterns from your phone, tablet or computer, Oils Lookup provides the entire clearing procedure with just a few taps.

Determining your body type is easy using my online body type test:

The emotion associated with Blue Tansy is being or feeling Misunderstood. While everyone has had the experience of feeling misunderstood at times, being misunderstood is more of a life pattern or theme for the Kidney and Thyroid body types. It is linked to finding their strength within and standing in their own truth.

The other side of being or feeling Misunderstood is being or feeling Supported. Misunderstood is stored in the Vocal Cords and is associated with speaking one’s truth, while knowing you can do so and still be safe. The affirmation is, “The truth supports me.”

If you have an older version of Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils, you may see Idaho Tansy or Idaho Blue Tansy listed for Misunderstood. Blue Tansy is a newer essential oil, but I keep the older oils listed in the book for those who still have them – but all three work equally well in releasing Misunderstood.

Blue Tansy essential oil derives its blue color from chamazulene, a naturally occurring constituent. This oil moisturizes and beautifies skin. Blue Tansy essential oil is actually harvested from yellow chamomile flowers, and turns blue in the distillation process. Native to Morocco, Blue Tansy is known for its use in luxury beauty products. Although it does not need to be diluted for use, dilution with a moisturizer or carrier oil will prevent it from staining clothing with its blue tint.

The sweet floral fragrance of Blue Tansy creates an uplifting environment when inhaled or diffused, which also helps you unwind after a busy day. It helps reduce the appearance of skin blemishes, and helps to moisturize skin when added to a moisturizer. Combine with Cool Azul essential oil blend to soothe fatigued muscles.

Oils Lookup brings the Reference Charts in the blue book right to your smartphone, tablet or computer. With a single tap you can access the clearing pattern for over 580 emotions using over 180 different essential oils - complete with annotated charts.
