What a beautiful Sunday morning, I have the door open to the deck and I can hear the birds chirpping away happily. As I look across my deck I see my new Rosemary bush and I am reminded of an exercise I will do with students when they are actually with me in class. The Rosemary has triggered the memory as this was one of the oils prominent in this exercise the last time I did this with some students.
In addition to the oils that we have in our synergy, when we create a blend we all put something of ourselves into it. The exercise I do to illustrate this is for a group of us to choose several oils, any oils and then we all create the blend in exactly the same order as one another. So for instance in the example that triggered my memory this morning only two oils were chosen Bergamot and Rosemary. We all started with a 10ml rollerball bottle containing 10ml of jojoba and we dutifully each put in our drops of Rosemary and Bergamot. Exactly the same number of drops of each oil and in exactly the same order. We then put the tops on and rolled the bottle in our hands a little and then started sniffing. Each of the blends smelled quite different. Some were stronger than others, in some you could smell the Rosemary more strongly in others the Bergamot. At any rate a phenomenon that is fascinating to me every time I take part in it and an illustration to me once again as to how we bring in our own energy every time we create a blend. Keeping this in mind we really should be totally mindful whenever we create a synergy as much as possible.
Blend for today : Rosemary 2 drops, Bergamot 5 drops.
