Open-Hearted Blend; Finding Peace In Times of Uncertainty
As the vibration of fear seems to be hitting a fever pitch on a global scale, and we see people succumbing to tunnel vision and disconnection at every turn - it's important for us to ground ourselves in our bodies, and to actively look for points of calm, trust + connection.
If we can't get outside in nature to connect in with the truth of things, we can reach for bottles of her most potent essences, and be reminded of the strength, softness + peace that are always available to us.
On an interpersonal level, our hearts are the most powerful magnetic forces of connection that we have with one another - and in order to live with our hearts wide open, even amongst apparent chaos, we need to have strong, flexible backbones.
So, while one may think a blend for an open heart would be packed with soft, tender flower oils (which are powerful in their own right), this one leans into the wisdom of trees (Arborvitae, Frank), with their ability to stand strong + tall, while still yielding through life's storms. Complimented by deep, solid roots (Spikenard) for calm, gratitude + grounding, and fruit/berries (Kumquat, Juniper Berry) for levity, self-awareness, protection + reminders of nature's natural state of abundance.
With these plants on our side, it feels much more effortless to trust that we're supported + connected to all of life - and our heart naturally softens open.
Here’s the what + how:
• Spikenard⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Arborvitae⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Juniper Berry
• Kumquat⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Frankincense
What: Layer 10 drops of each oil into a glass 10ml roller bottle + top with fractionated coconut oil (or other carrier oil). Btw, if you don't have Kumquat, feel free to sub in another citrus, like: Green Mandarin, Wild Orange, or Tangerine.
How: Roll up spine from tailbone to the bottom of skull (or as much as you can reach), then roll over your heart space. Apply to your palms and take 3+ deep inhales, visualizing the breath flowing in + out through your heart space, + saturating every cell of your body. Diffuser blend: 2-3 drops each.
