Cleanse & Clear

It has been a while since I have shared with you a blend that I have been diffusing, but trust me - this one is worth the wait!

I am currently obsessed with this blend of Copaiba, Rosemary, Peppermint and Clary Sage. It not only smells amazing, but it kicks arse emotionally.

Copaiba has a spicy, woody aroma and creates a wonderfully calming atmosphere when diffused. Known as the Oil of Unveiling, it offers assistance to those caught in the lower vibrations of shame, blame, fear, self-loathing and other unconsciously internalised emotions.

If you use Rosemary in the kitchen, you will be familiar with its delicious herbaceous aroma. When diffused, Rosemary is uplifting and rejuvenating. Known as the Oil of Knowledge & Transition, it supports individuals in feeling confident and assured during times of great change in understanding or perspective.

Peppermint has a fresh, minty aroma that is invigorating to the senses and promotes an uplifted and cheery feeling. Known as the Oil of a Buoyant Heart, it invigorates the body, mind and spirit, bringing joy to the heart and soul.

With its floral aroma edged with woody notes, Clary Sage is relaxing and soothing. Known as the Oil of Clarity & Vision, it assists individuals in changing their perceptions by giving them the courage to see the truth. Clary Sage can also assist in opening creative channels and clearing creative blocks.

These four oils have great synergy and create a uplifting and nurturing atmosphere when diffused. I recommend giving this one a go.

California Coast

After a busy few days with Christmas, I have decided to escape to California today for some relaxation. Unfortunately, it is more of a figurative escape than a literal one - my bank account is glad for the distinction *jokes* - with my diffuser taking me there in spirit. This is a beautiful blend to be diffusing in the lead up to the new year.

Frankincense is the Oil of Truth and it invites individuals to let go of lower vibrations, deceptions and negativity. Once we have shed the negative, we can create new perspectives based on light and truth. Frankincense can shield us as we process from dark to light. Frankincense is also very grounding which aids relaxation and keeps us connected.

Cedarwood is the Oil of Community, which inspires the feeling of belonging and assists the heart in opening to receive the love and support of other people. Life is a shared experience and by giving and receiving in a strong support system, we are able to experience the true joy and strength of relationships. If you have felt isolated or out of touch this year, Cedarwood can help you to find something different from life in the new year.

Rosemary is the Oil of Knowledge & Transition, which is perfect for this period to give us confidence as we transition from one year to the next. The herbal aroma is clearing and refreshing, to help us shake off any burdens and start fresh.

Wild Orange is the Oil of Abundance, which is a perfect choice for anyone setting intentions or manifesting for the new year. It encourages individuals to let go of scarcity mindsets with all of their manifestations. The sweet citrus aroma is uplifting and renewing, to help lighten our mood and be ready to start again.

If you aren’t into reflecting on the year gone or manifesting for the year ahead, you can still use this blend to unwind and relax. After all, isn’t that the point of the week between Christmas and New Year??

Know It All

I promised yesterday in my post "A Drop of... Basil" that I would share with you a diffuser blend that uses Basil to support focus.

I was struggling yesterday to stay focused enough to achieve anything before I put this baby on. The herbal scent isn't for everyone but I kicked more goals than I set out to.

Combined with Rosemary (aids concentration and memory) and Cypress (energises while keeping you grounded), this is a great blend to diffuse for study or work.

Study & Focus

It has been rainy and cool on the farm today so it has provided very little incentive to get out and about. It has however, encouraged us to pull out the laptops and books to get some work done.  To help us focus on our work (and hopefully kick some goals), I am diffusing this gem!

The Study & Focus blend is made up of Peppermint, Frankincense, Wild Orange and Rosemary.

  • Peppermint helps to keep you alert and provide you with energy.
  • Frankincense aids focus, which is why it is regularly used for meditation.
  • Wild Orange helps creativity and productivity.
  • Rosemary may well be the star of the blend as it is the Oil of Knowledge & Transition. It brings expansion to the mind, supporting individuals in receiving new information and new experiences. It also supports memory and focus.

 

Concentration

This is the blend in my diffuser today. I had a 2 hour online training session, with another 2 calls still to come, plus trying to get some work done on the laptop - busy day.

Lemon helps concentration, Rosemary aids memory and Peppermint keeps you alert - what a kick ass combo!
