I'm back from spending Thanksgiving with my family. What a joy little ones are and what great teachers they are about being in the present moment. It was wonderful to spend time focused on the little things, and seeing just how much joy there can be found in every little event.
It got me thinking about how Joy can be found in the simplest of actions and how it is a choice we make each moment of every day as to whether we will live this moment in Joy or not. Of course just living in this world means that there are every day challenges that pop up at every turn that we have to deal with and staying in the Joy can become very difficult. It can become a whole lot easier to operate from Joy more consistently if we have support that we can fall back on. A well crafted essential oil blend could be that support!
Keep in mind that aroma preference are very different and an aroma that brings joy and joyful memories to one, may not work as well for another so it is important to find your own special Joy Blend. 8 - 10 drops of your blend can be put into an individual inhaler and carried in your pocket to be sniffed at those times when you need a little lift. You could also put a few drops on a tissue and keep that in your pocket although you will find that the aroma evaporates from this much quicker.
My own personal favourites are Grapefruit, and Neroli, or a blend of Neroli, and Petitgrain. A couple of sniffs help to bring me back to my own Happy Place.
My blends:
Grapefruit 6 drops and Neroli 3 drops
or Orange 5 drops, Petitgrain 3 drops and Neroli 2 drops.
Essential oils traditionally associated with Joy include: Bergamot, Roman Chamomile, Frankincense, Lemon, Neroli, Orange, Petitgrain, Rose, Sandalwood, and Ylang Ylang.
