Associations and Potions

"Lilac floods the body with new vitality and joy.  It is helpful

for depression, melancholy and low energy 

due to a lack of self-connectedness."

Isha Lerner

If we feel a connection to God, we are comforted.  To feel a connection with the self is inspiring.  Our self confidence soars when we are balanced between the inner and outer dimensions.  To maintain this sense of fullness, we can read encouraging books, walk in nature and be a good steward.  We can also blend essential oils.

The first oil I came in touch with was Lavender.  I was leisurely walking through a lavender farm on Maui and the fragrance was monumental.  I visited the little shop offering all things lavender:  ice cream, tea, lotions, and of course, lavender essential oil.  Thus began my history of blending oils.

I have a cabinet with a multitude of essential oils potions.  Individual oils give  a burst of energy, sleep, outdoors, and varying depths of emotions.  More likely than not, I will go back to Lavender to spray on my pillows and throughout the house.  It brings the sense of innocence back to me, as it is associated with the lilac bush just outside my childhood bedroom window. The fragrance of the flowers floating through my screened in window, pushed my fears away.
