Aromatherapy
AromatherapyOils for Certain Things Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils, which are extracted by flowers, leaves, bark, wood, seeds, roots and peel, to promote health and mood. Before you start, always skin test an essential oil before using. Each person’s body is different. Apply oils to a small area first, and only use one oil at a time. Allow 15 to 30 minutes for the body to respond before applying a second oil. Different methods for using essential oils: Inhalation - You can put a couple drops of oils in your hands, rub together, and breathe. Steam inhalation Apply directly to the skin In a diffuser In a bath Massage - Mix it into a carrier oil.(Example- Almond oil) If you see an oil that says extended, it means it is diluted in a carrier oil. This makes pricy oils more affordable. Here are some oils to use for specific things:Brain fog: Lavender Peppermint Rosemary Bergamot Lemon Ginger Ylang-Ylang Immune System: Tea Tree oil Eucalyptus Rosemary Lemon Oregano Stress: Relax (on website) Jasmine Bergamot Ylang-Ylang Vetiver Patchouli Headaches, Migraines: Peppermint Rosemary Eucalyptus Lavender On your Moon – Menstruation: Female Balance Essential Oil Blend(on the website) I hope this helps with choosing oils that are right for you. Please note:All oils are not created equally the same. A cheaper brand does not always give you the same result. Make sure they are all organic and are being farmed and created by people that have the ethics and the background needed to source fine oils. All of my products come from the very best. XOXOJodi

Sacred Spaces
I believe that our home is our personal sacred place. It is where we go for refuge from the outside world. It is a place of love, security, rest, laughter, nurturing and contemplation. It is where we spend the majority of our time, so it is important how we decorate our home. It’s not just throwing in some furniture. It should reflect the essence of ones self and the essence of your family unit. Each room should have the elements of things that have meaning to you, your partner and/or children. Things that bring joy and love into the being of your home. Your home is a reflection of who you are. When you go into some ones home you can see and feel this. So what are you expressing and what tone do you want to set or bring in? Always add something in that reminds you of staying in the positive and brings you back to the true meaning of life. Colors are also so important. They help create moods. I painted my house inside in a canary yellow and whites and that really brought so much joy in. I didn’t know it at the time but it was my 3rd chakra expressing itself. There are charts online that can give you color meanings. You can also use your own personal favorite like I did and then you realize what it is you actually needed at that time. Funny what happens when you are not even paying attention to the deeper meaning of things. We all need to have a quiet place in our home to be able to do meditation or just quiet contemplation. It could be a small room in your house or a place outside in your yard. I have wind chimes outside my bedroom window that bring beautiful sounds in. If you don’t have a space try and make a corner with a sitting chair with a table and little alter. An alter does not have to be religious, it can just have things that are special and meaningful to you. Pictures, a stone you found on a beach, crystals, an angel, etc. Symbols that bring you back to your truth, your essence.When you come home from your day it needs to say, “Ahh… I am so glad to be here”. It should recharge your battery. See our product pages for ideas or you may find something that you would want to add to your home space. I also highly recommend if nothing else, to cleanse your space and yourself daily to cleanse unwanted energy. You can use the sage and cedar mist or burn sage. I have the sage in the tripod stand and a mist. Take time out to get quite and reflect on what you want your space to feel like. Then go for it!
What is Spirituality?
1. Spirituality is connecting your self with your understanding of God and the universe. It is not a religion, it is you discovering the sacred part of you that is connected to the bigger picture. Knowing that all is the same and one within itself. 2. It's being open to sense, feel and learn through your higher self which is the connection to all spiritual knowledge and universal truths. It is intuitive based. It's what feels right for you. It comes from within not from without. 3. Spirituality does not confine you to one belief system - it is open to all. It leaves you to explore and to form your own truth. It is open and flows. 4. It is a personal relationship between you and God or the universal source. Everyone gets a different answer that relates best to him or her. However universal truths are the same. Truth is truth, there is no arguing with it. (Like an apple is an apple.) How do we begin this journey? Through learning to be still and sitting in silence, you can connect to the universal source through prayer and meditation. This connection will guide you to your deepest truth. The more you practice, the more clarity you will get. This is where you will find the true meaning of love, grace, compassion, humility, gratitude, and more. You will be at peace with yourself, which gives you tremendous freedom! The spiritual journey is - The Journey Of You! "Many organized religions represent God as an external entity. Spirituality portrays God as an integral aspect of our humanity." - Andrew Harvey
