I think lemon. It's impossible to smell lemon and not smile and feel optimistic.

this post is from a ways back but just in case..my opinion is orange and geranium. Also for the heart ...basil oil..one of my most personal favorites.

Oils to Dissipate Fear: Frankincense Chamomile Roman Ginger Cypress Sandalwood Bergamot Rose Maroc Basil Cinnamon Cedarwood Coriander from Valerie Ann Worwood's book Aromatherapy for the Soul When I cross-reference her book on the section for essential oils for the chakras, I get these oils for the base chakra: (fear/loss of hope is usually affects the base chakra) Myrrh Patchouli Vetiver Rosewood Thyme Balsam de Peru Maybe you could try a mix with some of these??

Clean, fresh scents I agree with! Personally I find geranium alone gives me a lift and inspires hope. I also like neroli essential oil, which is tangy but also has some depth to it. What kind of scents do you enjoy generally?

I would go with rose the mother nurturing energy...and orange blossom which is uplifting and vibrant hopeful for those with a tendency towards depression...and verdigris...

Anything that energizes you will also lift your spirits. Virtually any pleasant scent will work for this, but my favorites are: orange blossom Ambreine (a very high quality cistus / 'rock rose'.) Ambreine in particular, but if you combine the two - heavenly. I find "regular" rose or jasmine scents too heavy for mood lifting, but that's just me. Hypnosis, exercise, socializing, and comedy videos are also really good for mood-lifting, as is SAM-e, a type of vitamin you can find at the health food store (natural to your body - google it!) Good luck!

i second the Rose; its one of my favorite scents. I often use Rose water as a final rinse on my hair...........but be careful when using Rose scents, its amazing how strong and overpowering that "subtle" scent can be! ")

thanks all to the replies. i am just needing scents good for hope in general, but funny my heart does need some healing, so i will take that as bonus advice!

Hope in general or in a specific area of your life? In general I second the citrus reply. Also Young Living Valor blend. I am not a rep for them and do not usually like most of their blends but Valor is wonderful! Perhaps your heart needs some healing? If so consider treating her with frankincense and rose. Also work with clearing your root chakra with some frankincense and black copal, then charge it with valor.... just my 2cents. Blessings!

I created a blend I call Tomorrow. Soothing and uplifting designed to bring hope into your life, I created it after hurricane Katrina when hope was just about all i had. Neroli and bergamot and some other things I'll keep secret. 3 $ from each bottle go to the Make it Right foundation..... http://www.makeitrightnola.org/ Each .5oz bottle of essential oil blend $15.

i would say things like: Rosemary Citrus Scents (esp Orange) Cinnamon Juniper Violet Cocoa things that rejuvenate like the citrus/sharp clean scents with a touch of warmth like from the violet or cocoa, to make you feel good.

I personally think that would be a very personal question and I wonder what scents might inspire hope in you?
