Peppermint Oil Spiritual Benefits

"Peppermint raises the spirit to fuller understanding and appreciation of the mysteries that will eventually fully unfold to us," writes aromatherapist Valerie Ann Worwood in Aromatherapy For the Soul. When you have lethargic thoughts and think all is lost, the oil energizes you, helping you come back into touch with your inner self.

This essential oil acts on the ego, helping you both get rid of excessive pride and overcome feelings of inferiority, according to Subtle Aromatherapy.

Peppermint helps you reconnect to your vital passion and purpose, focuses your desire to extend yourself as a driving force, and creates excellence and symmetry in your mind, according to The Blossoming Heart. The oil sustains the energy needed to focus inner attention on your highest potential, bringing balance and focus to your personal idea of purpose.

Aromatherapy Anointing Oils states that peppermint promotes awareness and clarity by supporting body and heart. This essential oil clears, refreshes, and energizes the mind, rejuvenates the body, uplifts the heart, and promotes healthy boundaries to support personal, emotional, and spiritual growth. The oil strengthens the capacity to assess, understand, and act on the guidance you receive and helps you discern between the confusing messages that come from emotional wounds and the trustworthy guidance that comes from wisdom.

Spiritual Uses of Peppermint

The Essential Guide to Aromatherapy and Vibrational Healing suggests using peppermint to keep you alert during mediation and also for regression therapy, rebirthing, and other practices that use breathwork. In general, use the oil to stimulate clarity and focus and help you sort out your feelings.

Diffusing peppermint in an aromatherapy diffuser has many benefits, including:

• Supporting focus, concentration, and clarity during meditation, prayer, scripture study, tarot readings, and other spiritual practices.
• Purifying your altar, meditation room, or any space.
• Removing negative energy and restoring your aura's positive vibrations.
• Promoting energy, vitality, creativity, and inspiration.

Another use of peppermint for spiritual practices is to make an anointing oil. Combine 2 or 3 drops peppermint in 1 tablespoon carrier oil in a small dark-color glass bottle with a cap. To use, apply 2 to 3 drops to pulse points or chakras and set a specific intention (for example, reconnecting to your passion or being receptive to spiritual guidance).

You can also anoint and bless ritual tools, such as candles or crystals, infusing them with an energizing and purifying energy.
