Course Lesson: Mindset, Intention & Aromatherapy

A Conversation on Thoughts, Emotions, Body Budget, and Aromatherapeutic Support

We hear a lot about detoxing — but what does it really mean to detox the mind? In this roundtable conversation, Amy Anthony of NYC Aromatica and Carolyn Jones of The Healing Project explore how true detoxing begins with our thoughts, intentions, and the way we respond to our beautifully messy lives. Together, they discuss essential oils and aromatic products that support relaxation, focus, balance, and emotional clarity, while offering practical ways to care for your “body budget” and strengthen your core and spark.

“You are not your emotions, and your emotions are not you.”
It’s a bold statement — and the starting point for this video‑based educational conversation on detoxing the mind, body, and soul. Together, we explore how true detoxing begins with the intentional decisions we make every day, and how our thoughts, mindset, and habits shape our overall wellbeing.
This class examines the mind‑body connection, the concept of the body budget, and the role of sleep hygiene in supporting wellness. You’ll learn how to work with essential oils and apply aromatherapy principles to support mind‑states, emotional regulation, and the beautifully messy realities of being human. Essential oils are one of many plant‑based tools that influence the nervous system and help us reconnect with our core and spark.
Join me and fellow aromatherapist Carolyn Jones as we explore:

• Detox, disease vs. dis‑ease, and the role of manifestation
• Holism and supporting the whole person: soul, spirit, mind, and body
• The myth of the “triune brain” and what modern understanding reveals
• What a “body budget” is and why it matters
• How aromatherapy, essential oils, and herbs support sleep, rest, digestion, sexual health, motivation, and mind‑states
• How solitude — or the lack of it — affects our mind‑body‑spirit connection
• What grounding really means
• And more!
