Today we will talk about the essential oil of Lemon and consider its effect from different angles. Let’s start with Aroma psychology! The vibrational message that Lemon oil carries tells us that it helps to feel and realize Personal Boundaries. Lemon oil works with the construction and awareness of the boundaries of the body.
What are the Personal Boundaries?
This is the understanding of one’s own “ME” as separate from others. Boundaries define a person, his capabilities, desires, feelings, and relationships with other people. If the physical boundaries of a person include his body, then the psychological ones include the space and sensations that separate other people.
The very first boundaries that a person builds are physical boundaries – they separate the body, the physical space of the individual from the outside world. The boundaries of our body (I am – me not), and through the body is also an understanding of where you are in the past, present, or future. If the boundaries of the body are blurred, then the person does not hear the needs of the body. Rigid boundaries of the body – emotional coldness, insensitivity to the desires of others. It is important to keep a balance at the moment “here and now”, to feel within the boundaries of other people and not forget about your interests, and to build harmonious relationships. It is important to identify your boundaries and then speak them out loud. And finally, if they are violated – to expel from the borders.
The reference point is the body. How to understand that I feel my personal boundaries?
-I clearly understand whether my body is now comfortable or not.
-Do I know what I eat and what I want to eat?
-Am I guided by the desires and needs of the partner, or my own?
-What do I want sexually, and what can I give back?
-Do I feel to the point of exhaustion when I get tired of work?
-How can you touch me, and how you can not.
-I have established self-care: little sedentary work, scheduled visits to doctors, there are sports, and a healthy diet.
But, most importantly, I know that I have the right to express my needs, to define my boundaries, and the right others to react as they want.
People with Healthy Boundaries

He will not enter the bathroom of a child without knocking, not to mention an adult member of the family. Will not throw away other people’s things without demand and agreement. He will not stand so close in a public place as to touch the edge of the clothes of an unfamiliar person with his hand. In general, at the same time, a person with good physical boundaries will be gentle and warm, he will not be afraid of touches from loved ones, and he will understand body language well.
