Endings & Beginnings

This week I am reminded of the cycle of life and of how nothing stays the same.  The school year is drawing to a close, with exams and graduations happening all around.  Certainly a great example of how when one phase ends another unfolds and begins.  We have also just celebrated the 'Summer Solstice', the longest day of the year, and the first official day of Summer.  In my personal life I am also facing some endings and beginnings.  The Centre where I offer my services is moving and over the last couple of days we have been busy packing everything up, the movers will be in on Wednesday and hopefully by the beginning of next week we will be unpacked and ready to offer services once again in an exciting new venue.

As I see transitions going on, not only around me for other people, but also in my own life, I wanted to create a special synergy to mark this exciting time of ending one phase and beginning a new one and these are the oils I have decided to use in my mister.

60 ml(2 oz) spray bottle
Distilled water
5 drops Bitter Orange - after all endings can be bitter sweet at times and strength.
4 drops Lemon - to foster the ability to let go and accept change.
3 drops Cypress - for going through changes.
3 drops Juniper - for clearing and cleansing.
5 drops Lavender - for balance and flexibility.
2 drops Neroli - because it's one of my favorite essential oils and it brings lightness.

I will also add 2 drops each of the Bach Remedies: Walnut (for protection); Beech (to ensure one keeps a positive attitude); Larch (useful when relocating); Wild Oat (to help one adjust to the changes).
