5 Essential Oils to use during your EFT session
Hello! I’m Alex from Simply Alex Jean, I’m a lifestyle blogger based out of Ontario Canada. Thanks to Tiffany, Metaphysical Mama for having me onto her blog to write a Guest Post! Simply Alex Jean Lifestyle blog focuses on Organization, Health & Wellness and Lifestyle, as well as has Pinterest Management Services available. Check Out my blog at https://simplyalexjean.com
A couple weeks ago I had a wonderful EFT session with Tiffany. Now you might be asking what is an EFT session why would I need one, Tiffany’s post What is EFT Tapping and why you should try it now, covers all the information you need to know! EFT is Emotional Freedom Technique, also known as tapping. While in my session with Tiffany we recited a tapping script and tapped different points along my head, neck, and collarbone.
Before my session with Tiffany, I applied some rose essential oils to my neck. I was feeling quite anxious and on edge due to a drama filled weekend before. Rose helps reduce feelings of anxiety and so I had been using it throughout the day.
As I began tapping the different areas around my neck and collarbone (where I had put the rose oil) it made the scent come alive again as I was tapping. I had put the oil there a couple hours before, however with tapping it smelled so strong like I had just put it on. This coupled with Tiffany’s EFT scripts and tapping really helped dramatically reduce my anxiety and concerns.
I then immediately shared with Tiffany my own reactions to the rose and asked if I could write a piece about the essential oils to use during EFT so others could learn about the benefits of aromatherapy combined with EFT. Tiffany was thrilled with the idea and this blog post was born.
I encourage you to speak with a health professional before using essential oils.
I use Revive Essential Oils for all my oils as I trust their brand and science behind their oils. If you’re interested in Revive essential oils click here to get 10$!
Rose Essential Oil
Great For: Anxiety/Stress – EFT Session
Now Rose essential oils is one of the most expensive oils in the world. It takes a lot of rose petals to make rose essential oil. Once or twice a year, Revive has a special where if you spend so much money on oils you’ll get a free rose roll on oil. For myself, this is how I got mine.
Rose essential oil has many benefits that are mainly rooted in beauty regimes; however, it also is known to help improve mood and create an energizing aroma.
Just roll a little rose onto each side of your neck an hour or so before your EFT session, as you tap, you’ll activate the rose which will help boost your mood. Rose can be used topically as long as you dilute it with a carrier oil such as coconut oil. If you buy a pre-made roll on bottle than it will come with carrier oil already mixed. You can also diffuse Rose essential oils during your EFT session with 2-3 drops in a small diffuser.

Grapefruit Essential Oils
Great For: Positive thoughts/energy – EFT Session
Grapefruit essential oils is a fantastic oil that packs a citrus punch! It’s a great wake you up oil and is a great mood booster. Grapefruit essential oil is known for promoting lymphatic health, releases negativity and is a great way to maintain a healthy metabolism.
To use Grapefruit Essential oils during your EFT session try putting some in a rollerball and rolling it onto your neck will help release tension. It helps to uplift your spirits and relieves and stiffness or frustration from your mind and body. Grapefruit can be used topically when combined with a carrier oil. You can place it in a rollerball or mix (with carrier oil) it in your hand and then massage your neck, this will also help with your lymph health. Grapefruit is phototoxic oil which means you need to avoid sunlight and UV for 12 hours after applying, so this is good in the evening to apply to your skin.
Lavender Essential Oil
Great For: Calming and Soothing – EFT Session
Lavender is a personal favourite of mine. It helps to ease feelings of anxiety, stress and tension within our body and helps us feel at ease and calm. Lavender is an oil with many benefits, so using this oil in your everyday life is encouraged as it helps from wake up to bedtime!
During your EFT session dab on a small amount that has been mixed with carrier oil. Massage this around your neck and then inhale the remaining scent on your hands. You can also apply lavender oil that has been mixed with carrier oil to your temples. Throughout the session if you need more of the scent, simply open the bottle, and take one long sniff. Lavender is a very light scent so it will not be as potent as the above oils. You can also diffuse Lavender during your session with 2-3 drops in a small diffuser.
Cedarwood Essential Oil
Great For: Grounding and Balancing – EFT Session
Cedarwood is a scent that helps to ground and balance you. If you’re feeling anxious before your session than this is a great oil for you to use. Cedarwood helps to soothe and relax your mind and reduce feelings of stress while promoting relaxation. It helps to promote self confidence and self esteem as well.
Cedarwood can be used topically, you can dilute this with a carrier oil and place it on your neck, collarbone, or temples. As you tap on cedarwood the scent will come alive again and will fill your senses with calmness and a feeling of serene. You can also diffuse cedarwood essential oil during your EFT session with 3-4 drops in a small diffuser.
Jasmine
Great For: Calming, Soothing, Self-Confidence – EFT Session
I use Jasmine daily, it’s one of my all-time favourite scents. Jasmine helps to uplift your emotions and promotes feelings of joy. If you’re struggling with self-confidence before your EFT session this is a wonderful oil to use and it helps to promote self-confidence and a positive outlook on life. Don’t we all need that sometimes?
For myself, I use Jasmine daily up along my neck and love smelling it throughout the day. You can also massage diluted jasmine into your pulse points. Jasmine is lovely to diffuse and you just need to use 3 drops at a time.
Since my EFT session with Tiffany I have completed several solo EFT sessions using the script she sent me and the points she taught me. I’ve used each of these oils and can vouch that they all work wonderfully with tapping. If you have an upcoming tapping session be sure to see if you have any of these oils or pick some up before your session to use!
I use Revive Essential Oils for all my oils as I trust their brand and science behind their oils. If you’re interested in Revive essential oils click here to get 10$!

Essential oils really are amazing! I have to add jasmine to my collection as well. Thanks for your comment!

What a great idea to use essential oils with EFT! Essential oils are great for anxiety and I especially love lavender. 🙂
I love lavender too! 🥰
This is such a great read! I have been interested in essential oils and always visit Alex’s blog for more info about them. It’s great that they can help even in EFT sessions. Will try to get grapefruit and jasmine to help with my mood! Thanks for sharing x
Thanks Cristina! I go to Alex’s blog for all my info too, she really is a font of knowledge when it comes to essential oils.
YAY! Awesome having Alex on your blog, Tiffany! You girls are both my favs! I’m not too knowledgeable about essential oils but I use peppermint and lavender often. Loved how Alex broke down what each oil is great for. Lovely read x

Awww thanks Lynn! It really is great that Alex wrote this amazing post for me! I will be referring to it often. My essential oil knowledge is pretty limited. 💖
Interesting! Im late to the party of essential oils and only have lavander and I really like it 🙂 I will try the others too.
Lavender is amazing! I use it quite often, but thanks to Alex I am slowly learning about some other amazing essential oils.
Thanks for your comment!
I have wanted to try out essential oils especially lavenders for stress relief. I would totally use this right before bed.
I have a lavender linen spray that I use on my pillow at night. It’s amazing!!
I’ve tried Lavender and Rose, but Jasmine would be absolutely my favorite! Love the scent so much and it really makes me feel calm 😀
Jasmine does sound incredible! I may have to get some as well. Thanks for your comment Marry! 😊
I love grapefruit and lemon essential oils. They always calm me down the most and help me to relax when stressed. Plus, they’re my fav scents.
Thanks for your comment Riyah!
I love how the different oils have a different effect on people. For me, lemon energizes me and things like lavender and vanilla calm me.
This is great! I am a firm believer in the benefits of essential oils in so many different areas of our lives. While I haven’t done an EFT session, I do have a roller with chamomile vanilla that I keep on my desk (I work from home) and anytime that I’m dealing with something that’s stressing me out, it works wonders to help me calm back down again!
Thanks Britt! Chamomile and vanilla sounds amazing! I will definitely have to give that one a try.
If you decide you want to try EFT, just let me know. I’d be happy to do a session for you.
I’ve done EFT before and the idea of using essential oils with this is simply great! I don’t know why I’ve not thought of it before actually since the two seem so aligned. Love it!
Thanks for the comment Giulia!
They really are a great fit aren’t they. I’m with you, I have no idea why I never thought of it before. I’m so glad that Alex did though.
Rose oil is one of my favourite essential oils. I’ve never tried EFT before but I can see how that and essential oils work well together.
Thanks for your comment Kelly! Using essential oils with EFT is such a wonderful combination. I am so grateful to Alex for doing this research!
Those essential oils all sound so amazing! I will have to check them out. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Charity!
I’ve never used cedarwood or grapefruit essential oils, but can only imagine the amazing smells. Will have to check out! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your comment!
I didn’t know essential oils helped with anxiety and stress. This was a very interesting post. Thank you for sharing. I need to go get some Jasmine essential oil.
Essential oils are great for stress and when paired with EFT, the results are incredible!
All of these oils sound really nice. I love lavender, I have oils, bubble bath, and other products that are scented with it.
I love lavender too!
These post was so interesting! The jasmine oil sounds amazing
The jasmine oil really does sound amazing!
I am happy to stumble upon your blog. Yours is another inspiration on my list to get me started with my blogging journey about self-love soon! Thanks!
Thanks!! I’m so happy I’ve inspired you!!
Oooh great guest post! I’ve tried EFT before and really like it. I haven’t much got into essential oils though as I’m never sure what ones to use and what benefits each scent serves, so this is helpful and it sounds like EFT and essential oils can make for a pretty powerful combo!
Thanks! I’m in the same boat as you. I love essential oils, but never really know which ones to use. Seeing how well they worked with EFT, I think I may have to learn a little more about them.
such a great post! I know very little about essential oils, so it is lovely to know more, as well as where to start! Love lavender oil though!
Thank you! I love lavender too!
Ooo, I love essential oils but haven’t used EFT before. Maybe it is time to combine the two together!
Thanks for sharing 🙂
