The CRYSTALLIZE "Emotional Release with Aroma" method is a unique method developed by CRYSTALLIZE.
During this 12-week course, we focus on "you," "your emotions," and the "stories" that created those emotions in the first place. We guide you into a state where it becomes easier to release emotions, and then we use essential oils to approach your "cells" and release them.
This is also the work of building your own "self-axis" (Jibun-jiku).
Our greatest wish at CRYSTALLIZE is for you to live your life by "crystallizing" the one and only "you" in this world.
The summer of 2009. That was when I realized the potential of using essential oils (aromatherapy) to release emotions. In my past, I struggled with a strong sense of self-rejection, going through a long period of bulimia where I would binge eat and purge. Unable to relate well with others or with myself, I was at the mercy of my own emotions. Energy healing, past life regression, meditation, yoga, spirituality... I tried many things, diving into them and spending a great deal of time and money. Yet, none of it freed me from my self-rejection and the struggle of living.
While I do believe a spiritual world exists, I believe that most of our struggles in life stem from the actual events and experiences we've accumulated from the moment we were born until now. There were also times when my mind thought it understood, but my heart and body just couldn't keep up. Through those repeated experiences, essential oils allowed me to re-experience memories and emotions I had completely forgotten, and then, those emotions moved out of my body—they were released. That was my experience.
Slowly but surely, I changed.
I used to rate my self-worth at a minus 40. Step by step, I moved closer to zero. Today, I like myself, and I am able to enjoy this life and all the different experiences it brings. I still get down sometimes, but the days of blaming myself and suffering like I used to are almost gone.
Emotional release takes time. Let's say you've lived for 40 years. The mental habits and deep-seated beliefs you picked up by the age of 10 have been heavily reinforced for the remaining 30 years. Just when you think you've released one emotion, another one rears its head. One after another. So, even when this 12-week course ends, you will likely still find yourself tossed around by one emotion after another. I want you to trust yourself and the oils, and work on emotional release over at least the next three to five years, recalling what you experienced and learned during this course.
In the process of emotional release, accepting the parts of yourself you dislike or don't want to see is a very important step. Those parts of you are neither "good" nor "bad." There is always a reason why they ended up that way. When you can analyze and understand that reason, you reach a state where emotional release happens more easily. For these 12 weeks, please be honest—with yourself, and with me. Every single person's life story is different. Sometimes there are things that are hard for me to understand from my own experience, and my mind starts spinning. To learn someone's life story and untangle the emotions entwined within it is always a "challenge" for me. I look forward to walking this path with you for the next 12 weeks.
