Healing requires calming the stress response – not just the physical stress response triggered by your nervous system, but the underlying stress, trauma and suppressed emotions that live in your tissues. Or more specifically in your biofield.
Your body emits an electromagnetic field, called a biofield. In fact, every living organism does. These fields are measurable, dynamic, and constantly shaped by your thoughts, emotions, physiological state, along with imprints of past experience. And just like radio signals or sound waves, your energy carries information. traumas, chronic stress, or unresolved grief can lodge in specific parts of your field, creating blockages to healing. Specifically:
- Long-standing grief may be held in the heart field
- Fear and scarcity often create constriction around the root center
- Unspoken truths or suppressed expression can distort the throat’s energetic output
Clearing and stabilizing these blockages with essential oils doesn’t just release old patterns—it rewires your field to hold a more coherent frequency.
The more coherent your field becomes, the more your biology, mood, and reality reflect that state.
What Is the Biofield?
Your biofield is an energetic field that surrounds and permeates the human body, encompassing the electromagnetic fields generated by the body’s organs, tissues, and cells.
This subtle energy field serves as your body’s electromagnetic energy and communication system that is responsible for regulating physical, emotional, and energetic balance and maintaining overall health and vitality.
As you may know, your heart produces the body’s strongest measurable electromagnetic field (measurable with an electrocardiogram), which can be detected several feet away from the body. Your brain also generates electrical rhythms that can be measured with an electroencephalogram (EEG). Even individual cells maintain tiny electrical voltages across their membranes that are essential for nutrient transport, energy production, tissue repair, and communication.
Your biofield reflects the body’s overall state of balance and resilience.
When disrupted by chronic stress, poor sleep, inflammation, environmental toxins, nutrient deficiencies, and emotional overwhelm, your biofield can lose coherence—leading to fatigue, pain, or emotional imbalance.
Vibrational remedies – like essential oils – can be used to support biofield coherence and stimulate effective communication between cells, tissues, organs, and body systems.
Essential Oils and the Biofield
Essential oils carry vibrational frequencies that interact with the body’s energy field, helping to clear blockages, rebalance chakras, and promote overall well-being, according to Effect of Biofield Therapy in the Human Brain.
Daoist philosophy sees essential oils as carriers of plant consciousness that can help humans reconnect with natural rhythms and spiritual awareness.
The oils work across all layers of your being – physical, emotional, energetic – by interacting with your electromagnetic field. Their chemical constituents enter your bloodstream within seconds via inhalation or skin application. Simultaneously, their vibrational signature enters your field, shifting the resonance of your tissues, thoughts, and subtle bodies.
When the vibrations in your biofield becomes disordered, smell frequencies can help “retune” them, similar to tuning a musical instrument. Inhaled scents send healing frequencies into the body.
Essential oils hold the frequency of nature that are higher than those of the human body, which means they can entrain our field back to resonance, also known as coherence.
This is the principal of entrainment at play – where a stronger, more coherent frequency brings a weaker or disordered one into alignment. In the human body, this means that exposure to a stable, high-frequency energy like that of certain essential oils can help your own biofield returning to natural order and coherence.
More specifically:
- Entrainment helps sync brainwaves with healing frequencies
- Resonance can “tune” disordered tissue by matching its ideal frequency
When you inhale or apply an essential oil or essential oil blend, your energetic system doesn’t merely absorb its chemistry it begins to resonate with its coherent vibration. This gentle alignment invites your cells, emotions, and subtle systems to remember their original coherence.
The Vibrational Theory of Essential Oils
Essential Oils work on both a physical and an energetic level. They can be used to support biofield coherence and stimulate effective communication between cells, tissues, organs, and body systems.
The vibrational theory of olfaction proposes that smell depends not only on a molecule’s shape but on the vibrational frequency of the plants.
Traditional “lock-and-key” models suggest that odor molecules activate receptors by fitting into them based on shape. The vibrational model works more like a swipe card: once an odor molecule binds to an olfactory receptor, its specific vibrational energy may allow an electron to tunnel across a tiny gap. It suggests that receptors act like a spectroscope, using quantum electron tunnelling to “hear” the atomic vibrations of molecules and translate them into specific scents.
If the molecule’s vibration matches the energy needed for that electron transfer, the receptor activates and triggers a neural signal to the brain. Different receptors may respond to different vibrational frequencies, creating a pattern the brain interprets as a specific scent—similar to how combinations of light frequencies create color.
In essence, your nose may do more than recognize molecular shapes. It may also “listen” to the vibrations of chemical bonds, making smell more like hearing than we once thought.
The Frequency of Essential Oils
All living organisms emit biofields—subtle electromagnetic frequencies generated by cellular processes.
It should not be surprising that plant and human biofields are synergistic. Plants are dynamic, living organisms that emit subtle energy fields with specific harmonic signatures, shaped by their structure, purpose, and environmental interaction, capable of influencing human health and emotions.
Essential Oils derived from plants retain this encoded frequency (as measured by Dr. Bruce Tainio), which tend to be higher frequency than the human body, which has a frequency between 62–78 MHz, according to research on the human body frequency.
Benefits of Vibration Healing
Vibrational therapy has been shown to offer several potential benefits in mental health practice:
- Stress Reduction: Biofield therapy techniques such as Reiki and Therapeutic Touch have been found to induce deep relaxation, helping clients reduce stress and anxiety levels.
- Emotional Regulation: By rebalancing the energy flow within the biofield, biofield therapy can help clients regulate their emotions more effectively and experience greater emotional resilience.
- Enhanced Self-Awareness: Practicing biofield therapy can deepen clients’ awareness of their energetic bodies, fostering a greater connection between mind, body, and spirit.
- Complementary Support: Biofield therapy can complement traditional therapeutic modalities by addressing energetic imbalances that may contribute to mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and trauma.
- Promoting Mind-Body Integration: By integrating biofield therapy into mental health practice, professionals can promote holistic healing that addresses the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.
- Reduces stress by shifting the body into parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) mode.
- Relieves chronic pain by improving circulation and releasing endorphins.
- Improves sleep by normalizing brainwave activity.
- Enhances mood and emotional resilience.
- Unblocks energy and promotes vitality.
- Restore coherence to disrupted brain wave frequencies.
- Harmonize organ resonance.
- Other studies highlight improvements in circulation, immune response, and joint mobility after vibrational therapy. Practitioners use techniques like Biofield Tuning or Reiki to help the body identify and release these.
Fascia Release: Fascia and the Biofield
Everything in your body vibrates—including your cells, tissues, and organs.
Fascia acts as a liquid crystalline matrix, composed of collagen and structured water, that spans the entire body and the biofield. This structural network generates tiny electrical charges when stretched or compressed (piezoelectricity).
Fascia forms the biological circuit of the biofield, which bridges your physical and the energetic systems — syncing your body with its biofield. It’s the bridge that connects not just body parts, but it’s what makes all structural, electrical, chemical, and energetic relationships possible. Fascia is the medium through which the body integrates, communicates, and heals.
Fascia helps to support:
- Bioelectric Communication: Fascia’s primary protein, collagen, acts as a semiconductor. When subjected to mechanical stress or touch, it produces piezoelectric signals. This bioelectrical system serves as a physical anchor for the biofield, allowing for rapid internal communication and fluid exchange.
- Liquid Crystal Properties: The fluid-filled, highly ordered spaces within the fascial network (interstitium) are thought to exhibit liquid crystalline properties. This allows the tissue to store and transmit light (biophotons) and vibrate coherently, which many in somatic and energy therapies consider the physical manifestation of an energetic aura or field.
- Trauma and Somatic Memory: Because fascia is richly innervated and highly adaptive, physical and emotional stress can cause it to stiffen or contract. This tightened fascia physically traps the “energy” of unexpressed emotions.
- Biotensegrity: The body operates as a continuous tensional network. Energetically, this means a restriction in the biofield or fascia in one area (e.g., the upper back) can affect the mechanical and energetic balance of the entire system.]
Fascia Release™ blend is uniquely formulated to simultaneously work on physical and psychological levels, working quickly to break down inflamed, fibrous tissue, removing toxins while unraveling deeply held tensions, constrictions and energetic blockages in your tissues to reduce pain, improve blood and lymphatic circulation and release fear, repressed emotions, and tension held in the body (organs, muscles, tendons, bones and joints) or the mind.
Penetrating essential oils, such as the combination of Angelica Root, Black Pepper, Cypress, Elemi, Frankincense, Lavender, Rose, Geranium, Vetiver, Litsea Cubeba, Rosemary and Ylang Ylang work synergistically to create warmth to break up congestion while relaxing tissues and releasing constriction and congestion. As stress lessens and tightness is relieved, nervous fatigue and feeling overwhelmed are also relieved.
To support your biofield, inhale or apply Fascia Release™ liberally over your wrists, heart center, or the soles of your feet to promote grounding and energy flow. 2- 3 times daily.
Limbic Reset: Your Subconscious Mind and the Biofield
Your biofield includes fields of energy and information – encompassing not just your conscious mind and memory, but also your subconscious mind. If your subconscious mind is not addressed, it can undermine your healing by holding onto subconscious ideas or programs that undermine your ability to heal.
The subconscious mind is believed to act as a “personal living library”, holding traumatic memories, unexpressed emotions, and limiting beliefs that your conscious mind might not even be aware of. These stressed or suppressed emotions create “knots” of trapped emotional patterns or erratic patterns in the biofield that create energetic “turbulence” or blockages within the biofield.
Vibrational healing of the biofield offers a way to address and recalibrate the subconscious mind, releasing the “dissonance” or “noise” from trauma, karma and patterns that may help to shift mental and emotional states.
Smells are known to trigger subconscious emotional responses before they reach the brain’s conscious awareness. Research shows that “olfactory stimulation can directly activate amygdala neurons to help shift emotions.” Smell often provokes emotional or memory reactions before you can consciously identify or label it.
The limbic system—which processes emotions and stress—drives the body’s electromagnetic state, also known as the human biofield. Emotional states instantly alter the brain’s electrical activity (EEG) and heart rhythm (HRV), which form the measurable, localised electromagnetic field surrounding the body.
Your limbic system is often referred to as the “emotional nervous system” as it helps you interpret sensory information and determine whether external stimuli are threatening or benign. If a threat is perceived, your limbic system will then prompt your nervous system to activate the “fight or flight” sympathetic nervous system response. This threat response can become maladaptive and overly reactive, leading to poor emotional regulation and overly reactive emotional responses.
Restoring proper function to the limbic system can help TURN OFF the alarm in your limbic system—in effect rebalancing inhibition and activation—and TURN ON your body’s self-healing mechanisms by regulating your “fight or flight” response and rewiring your response to emotional triggers.
Inhaling essential oils is the fastest and most efficient way to reset the volume of threat perception and help calm the over-firing of your limbic system. This is because smell can access the limbic system of the brain to lower limbic system activation, which then enables your body to enter the parasympathetic “rest, digest, and repair” state.
To help balance your biofield, inhale or apply Limbic Reset™ over Emotional Points located on the forehead (above the eyes and on the temples), an emotional release point located at the base of the skull at the back of the neck, on the bottom of the feet, and especially on the amygdala reflex point on the big toe. You can also apply over Filter points located on both sides of the back of the skull, which are used to filter energies that could pull you back into the old pattern.
Emotional Points located above the eyes on the forehead. You can also lay your hand over your forehead. I write more about the forehead points for healing emotional trauma HERE.
The release point is located at the spinal cord at the base of the skull
Filter points are located on both sides of the back of the skull. They are used to filter energies that could pull you back into the old pattern.
Spleen Qi: Grounding and the Biofield
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the Spleenis the energetic center for grounding and the chief architect of your biofield. It governs the transformation and transportation of nutrients into Qi (energy) and Blood. Your Spleen extracts this vital essence, anchoring it in the physical body while sending refined energy outward to form an energetic shield around your skin and muscles.
When Spleen Qi is strong, your biofield is dense, keeping you protected from external stressors. When it is weak, your biofield thins out, contributing to:
- Chronic fatigue and brain fog
- Digestive issues like bloating, loose stools, or poor nutrient absorption
- Emotional worry, overthinking, and feeling mentally “ungrounded” or disconnected
Grounding physically and energetically allows the Spleen to draw upon the Earth element, which is its governing force. Topically applying Spleen Qi to the Spleen 6 grounding acupressure point helps to balance your biofield and restore inner steadiness.
Spleen 6 is located on the inside of your lower leg, about four finger-widths above your inner ankle bone, directly behind your shin bone.
To find the spot: Sit comfortably and cross your leg so you can easily reach your inner ankle. Measure four finger-widths directly up from the highest point of your inner ankle bone. Press just behind the large shin bone (tibia); you will likely feel a slightly tender or sore spot. Topically apply Spleen Qi and, using your thumb or index finger, apply a firm but comfortable, steady pressure.
