*Belly Breaths* and connecting

Some of the most incredible things that have been happening in my life lately are the opportunities that keep arising for me to hold space for people.  It's one of my favorite things, and not something I take lightly.  Each day, I wake up to emails and messages from people that I love, and some who I've yet to even meet yet, sharing stories and reaching out.  Asking for help, and advocating for themselves and their loved ones.  Searching for comfort.  It's a beautiful thing.  Through developing my own line of essential oil mists and roll-ons, I've been able to strengthen these connections.  I love helping people connect to blends (or pure oils) that will support them through whatever they may be dealing with in their lives. 

Because it's no secret, party people...life is freaking hard sometimes.  And plant medicine is here to help!

The best part of it is is that most of the time, I'm developing these blends for myself, or my family, first.  I love having these plant tools at my fingertips to help ease and soothe.  Lately my favorite, most comforting oils have been sandalwood (on my arms and in a diffuser necklace), frankincense every morning on my third eye and throat chakras (and the back on my neck), InTune on my temples and neck, and Forgive in the diffuser. As much as I always have a hard time nailing down which oils are my favorites, I'd have to say these four are on the heaviest rotation right now.  Lulu loves wild orange and goes to it first every time.  Johnny is a vetiver guy.  The other two kids have a love/hate relationship with oils but are always willing to give anything a try if they are desperate enough ;)

Creating my own blends and custom blends for people gives me the freedom to explore and play, which is my favorite part.  For example, I created Belly Breaths because lots of friends were reaching out to me about overwhelming feelings of anxiety. My son deals with crippling anxiety almost on a daily basis, so I knew that I needed to formulate something that would help him, too.  Belly Breaths is created with a blend of frankincense, marjoram, geranium, clary sage, and wild orange essential oils in a base of fractionated coconut oil, with floating pieces of citrine for added anxiety support.  The blend also helps with hormonal headaches and monthly cramps, added bonus!  (*If you or someone you love would like to try the blend, please reach out to me.  It's $10 local delivery and $12.50 shipped US).  I love hearing feedback and stories so please share if you feel inclined!

If there's something else you'd like to try, or if you'd like to explore essential oils in general with me, please reach out.  If you're struggling and feeling down, I encourage you to reach out to a friend or someone safe instead of shutting down and closing off.  Sometimes human connection is the best gift we can give ourselves in times of struggle.  xo
