Aromatic Awakening

Aromatherapy is an effective way to replenish your spirits. Burning incense or resinous essential oil beads like Copal, Sandalwood, or Myrrh can easily be done by lighting a small amount in an incense holder or ashtray. You can diffuse essential oils into the air with a humidifier or place 4–5 drops in an aromatherapy candle diffuser.

 

To create different moods with essential oils, try the following:

• To invigorate and energize: Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime, Cardamom
• To ground and calm the mind: Vetivert, Sandalwood, Chamomile, Pine
• To relieve depression: Bergamot, Mandarin, Lemon Verbena
• To ease anxiety: Rose Maroc, Lavender, Marjoram
