Anointing the body with oils has held symbolism throughout history. Anointing can be very spiritually energizing. Your state of mind and sincerity are of great importance when using the ritual for spiritual reasons, healing, or to achieve a specific physical or psychological state. The ritual can be as simple as a dab of oil on the forehead combined with an affirmation, or an elaborate ceremony with props and prayers. To prepare anointing oils, start with a one-ounce (30 ml) bottle of jojoba oil and add up to 20 drops of the essential oil of your choice. Shake the bottle and focus on your intention for the oil and the purpose of the anointing. Here's a brief summary of oils to consider:
