Console, Passion, and Emotional Intelligence

In the world of psychology, psychologists frequently use the term "emotional intelligence." This concept encompasses two abilities—the ability to recognize, understand, and manage your own emotions, and the ability of being able to understand how to influence the emotions of others.

When you’re having a day when your thoughts feel stagnant, whether that’s due to stress, sadness, or other factors, you need calming essential oils to help you overcome your emotional blocks. Fortunately, doTERRA has two different essential oil blends specifically formulated to help you deal with the woes of life: doTERRA Console^® Comforting Blend and doTERRA Passion^® Inspiring Blend.

The Console Blend includes:

• Frankincense
• Patchouli
• Ylang Ylang
• Labdanum
• Ammyris
• Sandalwood
• Rose
• Osmanthus

Console contains essential oils that can invigorate idle emotions, and soothe heartache. The oils that constitute Console—like Frankincense and Ylang Ylang, have the capability to actually warm the body, heart, and mind, all while metaphorically bringing your feet back to the ground. 

When you are able to center your emotions once again, you may need inspiration to evoke your passions. This is where the Passion Inspiring Blend comes in.

The Passion Blend includes:

• Cardamom
• Cinnamon
• Ginger
• Clove
• Sandalwood
• Jasmine
• Vanilla Bean
• Damiana

Through creating a safe, comforting, and relaxing environment, the Passion Blend can help you work through your thoughts, and you stoke your passionate flame. 

Being human means you have the opportunity to experience happiness and bliss, but with that comes the balance of pain and sadness.

Having emotional intelligence allows you to process through what you’re feeling and then move on, without having your life crash down around you. Using calming essential oils during these distressing times can help you cope with these events so you can get yourself back into a healthy state of mind.
