Go Get 'Em!

I feel it is important to preface this with an update on where I am at.

You may have noticed my lack of presence lately, and for that I apologise. I have been feeling a bit out of sorts and my psychologist informs me it is because I have been transitioning from one stage of healing to another. After feeling like I was stuck for so long in this last phase, it is a thrill to have that confirmation that I am, in fact, moving forward.

The flip side to this though is that I am having to adjust to the emotional and spiritual changes that come with transformation. The biggest changes are that I have been feeling more introverted and introspective than usual. This has seen me withdrawing further and trying to muddle my way through my thoughts and feelings from which I am endlessly looking for distraction. I have tried on numerous occasions to jump online and share something, but I have found myself unable to find any words (it has been the same when I have tried to journal). I know I will adapt to the changes happening - life has shown me that we humans are good at that (even when it seems impossible), so I will be gentle with myself and bide my time until I do.

Now you know the general space I am sitting in, I think you will be able to appreciate the reason I wanted to share this particular blend with you.

Grounding. Inspiring. Invigorating.

These three blends have all been specifically created by dōTERRA with the purpose of supporting the mood and emotions of individuals.

Balance is the Grounding Blend and provides feelings of calm and relaxation. It shines during times of excessive thinking and is especially suited for personalities who seek to escape from life through disconnection or disassociation.

Passion is the Inspiring Blend and it ignites feelings of excitement, passion, and joy. It was formulated to assist individuals who are lacking inner passion and need help finding their why.

Citrus Bliss is the Invigorating Blend and the Oil of Creativity. Merging the benefits of the citrus essential oils, it returns motivation and drive when it’s lacking. Most importantly, it can motivate individuals to use their true creative power by letting go of old limitations and insecurities. It can restore confidence in oneself and in one’s creations.

The combination of Grounding, Inspiring and Invigorating will give you and anyone else in the room something that you are in need of. Whether it is calm, encouragement or motivation that you are chasing, or like me all three, Go Get ‘Em! has you covered. Each of these blends smell amazing by themselves and together they go to another level.

 

Note, I used this blend in the diffuser while writing this post. Although it took way longer than normal to write, it felt really good to be able to create something. Jas xx

Balanced Bliss

Balanced Bliss is an essential oil blend that combines Balance, White Fir* and Citrus Bliss. This blend both grounds and uplifts - I know that might sound like a contradiction, but let me explain what I mean.

Grounding is about being held present in your body and connected to the earth. This allows for a feeling of balance and centring no matter what is happening in the environment around you. For me, this is particularly important for slowing down the rush of thoughts (be them about the past or future) and staying in the present moment.

Balance is dōTERRA's Grounding Blend which is designed to exactly that. It is made primarily of tree oils and roots which encourage a deep connection to the present and emotional stability. White Fir is another tree oil to help encourage grounding.

Uplifting is about raising energies and moods with feelings of hope, comfort, joy and inspiration. For me, it helps me see life with more optimism and confidence, while shaking away the doubt and darkness.

Citrus Bliss is dōTERRA's Invigorating Blend and the Oil of Creativity. The combination of citrus oils acts as a powerful fire starter, returning motivation and drive. It also helps to restore confidence and fills the heart with creativity and joy .

By combining the oils with grounding and uplifting properties, it can help you feel centred and optimistic. When I feel these, I feel better equipped to handle the situations I’m faced with.

* White Fir has now been replaced by Siberian Fir as dōTERRA are able to maintain a better supply of Siberian Fir. It provides the same benefits, but with higher potency. You can use White Fir or Siberian Fir in the blend, depending what you have on hand.

Apple Pie

As we start heading into the cooler months in Australia, we like to feel cosy and comforted at home - fire, hot chocolate, blankets, pie, Uggies... there are so many options.  I suggest putting this Apple Pie blend on. It smells delicious and sweet while stimulating all your senses with the memories of warm Apple Pie.  It makes me feel cosy and comforted from the inside out.

This blend combines Douglas Fir, Cinnamon and Citrus Bliss (Invigorating Blend) to produce the aroma of Apple Pie baking in the oven.  Douglas Fir being one of our tree oils, is great for grounding which is one of my most important requirements for a feeling of comfort.  The spicy aroma of Cinnamon is not only vital for Apple Pie, but it also provides a beautiful recollection of warmth.  The sweet notes of Citrus Bliss are wonderfully uplifting, helping with feelings of contentment.

I have a feeling that this could be in my diffuser regularly over the Autumn and Winter months.

Citrus Slush

There is something so refreshing and summery about citrus oils. I don't know if that is because we stick lemon or lime in our Coronas and water or if it is just the fresh scent.

This Citrus Slush blend uses Lime, Citrus Bliss (Invigorating Blend) and Grapefruit. The combination is energising, purifying and uplifting to help your home smell delicious and its occupants happy and ready for fun.

Sugar Plum Fairy

If you are anything like me, Christmas Eve isn't a relaxing day - it's your last chance to get your shit sorted for Christmas! I'm using this beautiful blend today to uplift my Christmas spirit and to motivate me to get organised.

This Sugar Plum Fairy blend uses two of dōTERRA's ready made blends - Citrus Bliss (Invigorating Blend) and Motivate (Encouraging Blend). These two blends both mean business. They are uplifting and energising to get you up and moving.

Then there is Douglas Fir. Not only does this fir look like a Christmas tree, it also has that tree scent which smells like Christmas for those who decorate a real tree. Douglas Fir is also great to use when you have low energy to help give you a lift.

After diffusing this, I have no reason not to get myself organised for Christmas!!

Liquid Jelly Beans

If you are feeling This blend is called Liquid Jelly Beans for good reason - it smells sweet, juicy and delicious! It combines Citrus Bliss (Invigorating Blend), Juniper Berry, Lemongrass and Wild Orange.

These oils bring with them qualities you could describe as revitalising, regenerating, renewing and uplifting, making them a great choice when you are feeling a bit disengaged, drained or discouraged.
