T’is the season… WHAT SEASON?
The month of December is traditionally a very diverse season. For some it is a season of hibernation. For many it’s a time to connect with family and friends. For MOST it becomes a time of stress. Often the stress is brought on by doing things we don’t feel a connection to do.
OH WHAT TO DO?!
Sprinkle some Holiday Pine Cone or Wisdom into the air…
Yes seriously…
When I created Wisdom, it was for a gorgeous mountain spa in Manitou Springs, Colorado. They wanted a scent that reflected the rocky mountains, while being soothing. Balsam Fir of course was the base; then I decided a high elevation Lavender would go along great and to top it… Laurel nobilis would tie it together with a soft sweetness. Each of these oils on their own have distinct personalities. And together? Like an orchestra, a complete new experience! I took one sniff and named it Wisdom! Immediately I felt a strong intuition, like the energy of a very old tree. Wise! I love to smell it out of the bottle, sprinkle it in my car or diffuse it near my artificial holiday tree as though the tree is exuding the amazing scent. Sore muscles? Add 1-2 drops to a silver dollar size amount of Jojoba or Olive oil and massage it in. As an analgesic, the relief is felt immediately. Need to ground into quick wisdom?
Be sure to check out this blend while it’s on sale..
Get a bigger one.. You’ll use it all year ‘round.
Do you need to ‘lighten up’?!
Holiday Pine Cone ~ It’s like a cheery giggle in a bottle.
Remember making decorated pine cones? That was my inspiration! In fact, a great use (or gift!!) for this blend is to dribble drops over a few pine cones and set them in a room for decoration and a passive infusion of Balsam Fir, Cinnamon and Wintergreen! Did you know Wintergreen has many similar components to Aspirin? Cinnamon is a circulation stimulator. So again, not just in the diffuser but add a drop to a carrier oil and massage into achy muscles and feel the smile twinkle back into your eyes, feeling the magic of this season.
No need to stress. Use the mystery of aroma to bring back that child like excitement every time you open a bottle.
Happy Holidays!
peace + love,
Somah
