Essential Oil Recipes for Forgiveness & Letting Go (Heart Chakra)

Heart Chakra Support for Releasing What You Are Tired of Carrying

Forgiveness is not a neat or easy thing.
It is not a decision you make one morning and suddenly feel peaceful.
And it is definitely not about pretending that something didn’t hurt.

Most of the time, forgiveness starts much simpler than that.
It starts with being tired.

Tired of replaying the same memories.
Tired of feeling the tightness in your chest when something reminds you of the past.
Tired of carrying anger, sadness, or disappointment that never fully leaves.

If that’s where you are right now, there is nothing wrong with you.
Letting go doesn’t happen because someone tells you to do it.
It happens when your heart finally feels safe enough to loosen its grip.

This blend was created for that moment.
Not to force forgiveness.
Not to rush healing.
But to gently support your heart as it releases what it no longer wants to hold.

It works with the heart chakra, the emotional center connected to love, grief, boundaries, and trust. When this space has been holding pain for too long, it becomes tired. When it is met with softness, it slowly begins to relax.


What Holding On Actually Feels Like

Holding on doesn’t always look like anger.
Often, it’s quieter than that.

It can feel like:
A dull heaviness in the chest

Thinking about old situations more than you want to

Feeling guarded, even with people you trust

Emotional exhaustion without a clear reason

A sense that something is still unfinished

These aren’t signs that you’re stuck.
They’re signs that your heart has been protecting itself.

And protection is not a failure.


About the Forgiveness & Letting Go Ritual Oil

This oil is not intense or dramatic.
It doesn’t push emotions out.
It doesn’t demand release.

It’s meant to feel gentle and steady.
Something you reach for when you’re ready to soften, even a little.
Something that says, “I don’t have to carry this all the time.”

You don’t need to forgive anyone fully to use this.
You don’t need clarity.
You don’t even need to know what you’re ready to let go of.

You only need to want some relief.


Essential Oil Recipe

Before you begin, pause for a moment. You don’t need to feel calm or open-hearted. Just pause.

You will need:
A clean 10 ml glass roller bottle or amber dropper bottle

A carrier oil like jojoba, sweet almond, or fractionated coconut

Essential oils:
3 drops rose or geranium

2 drops lavender

2 drops frankincense

The scent is soft and grounding. It doesn’t overwhelm. It stays close, like a quiet presence.


Making the Oil

Step 1: Meet Yourself Where You Are

Hold the empty bottle in your hands. Notice how you’re feeling right now, without judging it.

If it feels natural, you might quietly think:
I don’t have to let go of everything today.

If even that feels like too much, just breathe.


Step 2: Add the Oils Slowly

Add the oils one drop at a time.

Rose or geranium supports emotional softness and compassion.
Lavender helps calm emotional tension and nervous system stress.
Frankincense supports release and acceptance without pressure.

There’s no rush here. Letting go happens in its own time.


Step 3: Fill With Carrier Oil

Fill the bottle with your carrier oil and close it gently.


Step 4: Blend

Roll the bottle between your palms for about a minute. Let the warmth of your hands bring everything together.

You don’t need to imagine anything special. Just notice the warmth and the scent.


Why This Blend Can Help

Rose or geranium helps the heart soften without losing its boundaries.
Lavender brings calm when emotions feel tight or restless.
Frankincense supports emotional clarity and quiet release.

Together, they support relief rather than obligation.


How to Use the Forgiveness & Letting Go Ritual Oil

If you can, let the blend rest for a day before using it.

When the Past Feels Heavy

Apply the oil to:
The center of your chest

Your heart area

Your wrists

Place one hand over your heart and breathe naturally. Nothing needs to change.


Gentle Daily Support

This oil is helpful in the evening, during quiet moments, or when old emotions surface unexpectedly.


When Memories Come Back

Apply one diluted drop to your wrists and let the scent reach you naturally. No techniques. No fixing.


A Simple Thought

If words feel supportive, you might repeat:
I am allowed to release this slowly.

If words don’t help, let the oil speak instead.


When This Blend Might Support You

When you’re tired of carrying old pain

After emotional hurt or disappointment

When resentment feels heavy but forgiveness feels far

When you want peace more than answers

When you’re ready to feel lighter, even a little

Letting go doesn’t erase what happened.
It just frees you from carrying it forever.


Safety Notes

Always dilute essential oils before skin use

Avoid broken or sensitive skin

Patch test before first use

Consult a healthcare provider if pregnant or under medical care


Closing Words

Forgiveness is not something you owe anyone.
It’s something you choose when holding on becomes heavier than letting go.

This ritual oil isn’t here to rush that choice.
It’s here to support you while you make it, in your own time.

You don’t have to be ready today.
You don’t have to be peaceful yet.
You only have to be kind to yourself where you are.
