Happy Holidays with Essence Cheer

The holiday season is upon us, and it's a wonderful time to come together and celebrate what we individually bring to the world.

Like the soft glow of a candle our kindness can spread and connect us in meaningful ways. As we take the opportunity to step away from work, slow down, be thankful and cherish time with those we love I am mindful that the holidays are not always easy for everyone. Holidays have a tendency of leaving people raw and may bring memories of loss or feelings of longing for things that have changed. Even when we find ourselves in these emotions, there is meaning as these emotional states reflect how deeply we care and love. It is sometimes overwhelming and can easily send us out of balance physically and emotionally. In the spirit of sanctity and to keep a soft warm heart I share the ways that essences help me to stay centered, clam and both physically and emotionally healthy through the holiday season:

As someone who lives emersed in the spirit of plant essences, here are some tips to allow plants to help you stay centered, calm, and healthy throughout the busy holiday season:

1. Create a Calm Atmosphere

Using plant essences in a diffuser creates a peaceful and calming environment. There are essences to help reduce stress, promote relaxation, and enhance your mood, making your home feel like a cozy sanctuary during hectic days.

2. Boost Immunity

The holidays are a time when our immune systems are often under pressure. Essences can help support your immune system. Adding a few drops to a steam inhalation will cleanse the air and help fend off seasonal germs.

3. Stay Energized

With so much going on, staying energized is key. Certain essences are known invigorators! Just applying a few drops to your hands then inhaling can help clear mental fog and recharge your energy.

4. Relax and Unwind

After a busy day of shopping, cooking, or socializing, unwind with a calming bath. Massage a few drops onto your arms before sinking in can calm the mind, relieve tension, and promote restful sleep.

5. Mindful Breathing

In moments of stress, take time to smell the "roses". Or what ever fragrance gets you out of your thoughts and present into your sense of smell. There are so many grounding, soothing oils to choose from. I like to add a drop or 2 to my hands and then pat my hair, inhale deeply, and focus on the sensation of my heart beating. Taking a moment of calm.

6. Natural Air Freshener

Instead of artificial toxic sprays, I find an essence that meets the mood I am looking to create. My favorite cleansing essence sprays go everywhere. In the living room, the "bedroom", the bathroom, I think you get the idea... If you want to be immediately uplifted for a clear and energized space, frisky or sedated for a nights rest, there is an oil for that!

7. Relieve Headaches

The holiday season can sometimes bring on stress-induced headaches. A roller ball bottle applied to the back of your hand can be brought to your temples throat or neck and can have a profoundly quick release of tension and headaches.

8. Nurture Skin with Hydration

With winter’s dry air, skin needs extra care. I love hydrolats just before bed to clean skin or to set my face after my makeup is ready for a new day. Many oils are known to nourish your skin, improve its tone, and keep you glowing during the season. Using nontoxic essences are a great alternative to a hormone disrupting concoction of chemicals.

9. Stay Present and Centered

When you feel pulled in too many directions there are heavy scented oils that help promote a sense of balance, calm and back to the present moment.

By incorporating essences into your daily routine, you can support both your physical and emotional well-being, making the holiday season a bit easier to navigate. Whether you're looking for relaxation, energy, or immunity support, there's an essence for every need. Either dust of the oils you have on a shelf or if you would like help in finding the essence of your desire do visit us or call for a personal consultation.

Please stay kind to yourself and enjoy the season with a sense of peace and centeredness.
