Positive Thinking

Some days positive thinking can come easily. Other days… not so much.

I have been feeling off for a couple of days (I know, I should have reached for my oils sooner) so this morning I decided that it was time to take action and help myself with a blend that would be uplifting and grounding.

Myrrh is the Oil of Mother Earth and when you breathe in the earthy notes, it makes complete sense why. It helps the soul to feel the love and nurturing presence of a mother and to feel safe and secure. Increasing the connection between oneself and Mother Earth is deeply grounding. It has that effect on you of having spent an afternoon in nature.

Eucalyptus is the Oil of Wellness and it teaches how to claim wholeness and heal. Being a tree oil, it is great for grounding and feeling centred. Eucalyptus also helps with feelings of encouragement and aids individuals take back the power of their own wellness journey.

Lime is the Oil of Zest for Life and its citrus notes help to dispel apathy and resignation while instilling hope, joy and courage. It aids revitalisation of the heart space, giving room for light and joy.

Positive Thinking isn’t a cure all remedy but increasing your grounding on difficult days, can help to create the space you need to work through your troubles. I decided to enhance the effect by following this up with a meditation outside in the sun and going barefoot on the grass. I’m happy to say I’m feeling a lot better than before.

Sinus Relief

dōTERRA have some amazing, ready-made blend to help you get through patches of cold and flu - yep, I'm talking about Easy Air and On Guard - but sometimes it is nice to change things up. This blend combines Peppermint, Wild Orange, Eucalyptus and Lavender to provide relief to the sinus and airways.

Lavender's antibacterial properties and Eucalyptus' cleansing properties team up to help cleanse the air which is definitely needed when germs have come to visit.  Peppermint and Eucalyptus combine to help open the airways and Wild Orange can help support the immune system.

These oils are all calming and uplifting which is perfect when we aren't felling our best selves.
