Heaven Scent

Heaven Scent is a lovely floral blend that is deeply calming.  This is perfect for when you want to relax and be fully present.

Patchouli is the Oil of Physicality and it is beautifully calming while it grounds you in your physical body.  I often find that with my Anxiety, I get stuck in my head.  I can find it difficult to move away from the thoughts to be able to become engrossed in the present moment.

Not only does the citrus note of Grapefruit combine well to break up the florals, it is also an amazing companion for Patchouli, as it is the Oil of Honouring the Body. When you are grounded in your body, you are able to get a deeper appreciation of what your physical body does and in turn be more respectful of its needs.

Ylang Ylang adds a slightly sweeter note to the blend and contributes its calming qualities.  As the Oil of the Inner Child, it helps the connection with the heart which often gets ignored when the mind is overthinking.  It also encourages joy and play that can be missing from life.

This blend removes the control of the mind to give the heart and physical body a chance to be heard.  Having a reprieve from the mind can be amazingly beneficial for anyone who is unable to get balance ordinarily.

Evening Chill

This blend is not only a beautiful combination of floral and citrus notes, but it also has a wonderful balance of relaxation and uplifting. I personally find this combination of oils really positive for my anxiety and depression, let me explain -

Patchouli is calming and stabilising. It is the Oil of Physicality so it supports you to become fully present in your physical body. My anxiety often gets me stuck in my head which is both stressful and exhausting. Often it is when I come back to my body and the present that I realise how much I have needed it.

Lime is the Oil of Zest for Life, so I loves to lift you up and get you engaged again in what you have to be grateful for. When my depression has been like a dark cloud in my mind, Lime can be like the sun breaking through and making things seem lighter.

Lavender is calming and helps you be more self aware. As it is the Oil of Communication and Calm, it can help to encourage emotional honesty and give you the space to share your true self with others. Sometimes mental illness can be very isolating so feeling supported to communicate as your true self (rather than putting on a mask for others) is gratifying and liberating.

Grapefruit is the Oil of Honouring the Body. It helps you to listen to your true physical needs and impulses, and to take responsibility for what you feel. I think that this is important as when you spend so much time in your head, and not your physical body, you can neglect and mistreat it. Once Patchouli has brought you back into your body, Grapefruit helps you listen to what it wants to express to you.

Ylang Ylang is freeing and playful. It is known as the Oil of the Inner Child and allows you to connect to the intuition of your heart rather than focusing on the mind. I find making decisions difficult because my mind overthinks and sends me into a state of overwhelm. Being able to listen to the heart means that I may not always know what I want, but sometimes hearing what I don't want can be enough to allow me to move forward.

These oils work so well in this blend because they work together. If you don't need them to do all this, that is ok. They still smell amazing and will help relax and uplift you.
