Anointing Oils for Beginners: How to Use Them for Self-Concept Work

Queen,

You are a woman in her sacred return.

And sometimes, that return begins with something as simple as a drop of oil.

Anointing may sound mysterious, but at its heart, it’s beautifully simple: a way to bring intention, energy, and healing into your everyday. And when paired with self-concept work(the practice of reshaping how you see yourself), anointing becomes one of the most powerful tools you can carry on your journey.

Let me walk with you through the foundations.

What Are Anointing Oils?

 

Anointing oils are more than just blends of botanicals; they are sacred tools created with intention. Each drop carries the vibration of the plants within it, infused with intention and prayer to support your journey.

They are designed to be applied to your body or used in ritual as anchors for transformation.

Think of them as companions: when you anoint, you are inviting the oil's energy to work with you, physically, emotionally, energetically, and spiritually.

How Does Anointing Work?

 

Anointing works on three powerful levels:

1. Energetic: Plants carry their own energy. When you apply an oil crafted with intention, that energy harmonizes with your own energy field.
2. Scientific: The scent of the oils interacts with the limbic system in your brain, influencing mood, memory, and behavior. This is why scent alone can instantly shift how you feel.
3. Psychological: The ritual itself, repeated consistently, rewires your self-concept. Each time you anoint, you are embodying the version of you that you are choosing to become.

 

Remember this truth:

Anointing/Ritual Oils affect your energy.

Your energy affects your actions.

And your actions shape your reality.

This is why anointing is so powerful, it’s not just a moment of ritual, it’s a catalyst for lasting transformation.

What is Self-Concept Work?

 

Your self-concept is the identity you hold of yourself, the beliefs, stories, and energy you embody about who you are.

When your self-concept is rooted in scarcity or self-doubt, it shows up everywhere: in your relationships, your opportunities, your ability to manifest. But when your self-concept is rooted in worthiness and power, the world reflects it back to you.

This is why self-concept work matters: you cannot consistently create or receive beyond who you believe yourself to be.

And this is where anointing becomes a sacred ally, a daily anchor that helps you embody the version of you that you are becoming.

How to Anoint for Self-Concept Work (Step-by-Step)

 

1. Choose your oil.
   • Sacred Return Oil: Come home to yourself. Anchor into worthiness and self-love.
   • Queen Oil: Rise into confidence, magnetism, and personal authority.
   • Expansion Oil: Stretch into abundance, visibility, and the bigger life you’re ready for.
2. Set your intention: Self-concept work is about identity. Ask yourself: Who am I choosing to be today?
   • Example: “I am the woman who trusts herself fully.”
   • Example: “I am magnetic. My presence draws in every blessing meant for me.”
3. Anoint with presence: Place a drop on your fingertips and gently touch:
   • Third eye: clarity + vision of self.
   • Throat: courage to speak your truth.
   • Heart: love and acceptance of self.
   • Wrists/pulse points: carry your intention with you throughout the day.
   • Note: Anoint where you feel called. There is no wrong way. Trust your intuition.
4. Repeat daily.
5. Self-concept shifts with consistency. The more you anoint, the more your brain, body, and energy integrate the new identity.

Ways to Use Anointing Oils in Self-Concept Practice

 

• Morning Mirror Ritual: Anoint and declare affirmations as you look at yourself.
• Pre-Visibility Practice: Before showing up online, in conversation, or on stage.
• Before Journaling/Manifesting: Anchor into the energy of your desired self before writing.
• Daily Transitions: Use oils when shifting roles (mother, leader, lover, creator).
• Protection & Empowerment: Before entering environments that might test your worthiness.

Beginner Q&A

 

Do I need to be spiritual to anoint?

No. Anointing is for anyone. The intention behind it is what matters.

How often should I anoint?

Daily is powerful, but even once a week can shift your energy. The key is consistency.

Can I use any oil?

Yes, you can. But oils crafted with specific intentions (like Sacred Return or Queen) amplify the energy and make it easier to align your self-concept.

What if I forget or miss a day?

Simply begin again. The Queen is a rhythm, not perfection.

 

The Queen’s Reminder

 

The Queen is not a flawless image; she’s a rhythm, a return.

Every time you pick up your oil, you are declaring: I am worthy of becoming her. I am willing to be seen as her. I am ready to live as her.

And if you forget, you can always anoint and begin again.

• Start with Sacred Return Oil if you’re in the tender season of coming home to yourself.
• Reach for Queen Oil when you’re ready to rise into your power.
• Work with Expansion Oil when you feel the pull to stretch into a bigger vision.

This is the sacred path of self-concept, to return, to rise, to expand.
