Ready or not, we all have them, popping up like wild
monkeys swinging aroung in the trees of our minds. Thoughts
and memories, of people and events, are a major part of
the holidays for all of us, young and old. These conjure up
the emotions tugging on our heartstrings in many directions.
So how do we handle the full spectrum of the emotional
rainbow, as we glide through the season that is about the true
spirit of life?
Aroma is a language of thought, memory and emotion
that has been around since the beginning of time to assist
human beings with three major roles. Their pure aroma and
natural medicinal qualities help protect our emotional
state and physical health. The spontaneous reaction of the
nose-brain connection with the aroma traveling through the
olfactory system, assists us through transitions of all
kinds. The joy of using them in diffusion and skin application
is why they have been used in times of celebrations for
all seasons of life.
As I see it, this time of year calls for all three of
the big guns: protection, transitions, and celebrations.
The good news is, the oils are still here for us to be and
do their mission. Whether we are dealing with the grief of the
loss of a loved one, a memory of days gone by, or the thrill
of the joy of renewed life and adventure (often all these at
once); we have wonderful soulful elements to warm our hearts
and nurture our spirits.
Choose your mist to surround yourself with a breath
of fresh air. Misting is about cleansing, shifting, and
renewing. It's so easy. Then choose a straight pure oil
to keep with you during the day for deep breathing and
whiffing any time your heart desires it. Third, have a
blend for gentle massage. Apply the blend to your nose,
temples, back of neck and heart first. What about a truly
soulful bath?
Select your oils for the day and oils for the night, and
tap into the joy, peace, and compassion that sits deep in our
hearts. Put Knowsy The Moose or a cotton ball of
Lavender in your pillow at night to lull you to sleep. Visions
of sugar plums are possible.
Honor yourself, your loved ones, and the holidays for all
it is meant to be. Feel the gratitude and appreciation for
just being you, and others be them. The more soulful elements
you have in your daily life, the more possible this is.
Remember the things that tap you into the deep reservoir of
peace that goes beyond all understanding. Some are: essential
oils, quiet time, prayer, wonderful conversation, soulful
walks, music, and food. Chocolate and oils are great
together! They know all about the soul. Bless you for being
all that you are!
