How do you blend? Do you set up a nice quiet area, line up your essential oils can carriers and create your blend masterpiece without any distractions? Or are you mixing in a bowl, in the center of your kitchen table, with the television blaring, phone ringing and kids running about? Creating a well balanced, harmonious blend, requires Mindful Aromatic Blending™.
Mindful Aromatic Blending™
Mindful Aromatic Blending™ is the gift, talent and intention of being present before, during and after a blending session of essential oils and botanicals. Often times, we try to multi-task when formulating or making up a blend. This leaves room to make a mistake in selecting essential oils, the number of drops to include of each of the oils and making it into the wrong carrier. You are also injecting that chaotic energy into the blend. Look up the works of Dr. Emoto and his water blessing labels. He explains beautifully how our surroundings and energy can affect the water, and other liquids around us.
When you use a Mindful Aromatic Blending™ approach, it helps you be more present, more aware and in the moment. You are cognizant of what you are doing, why you are doing it, and how to do it. You are able to set the intent with more clarity and elevate your positivity. This will help you achieve your goals more positively, effectively and efficiently.
