Feeling overwhelmed by my To Do List today. Many things that I have put off for weeks and weeks are coming back to haunt me and I am determined to get ‘er done today. I wanted something to lift up my spirts a little so this is what I came up with. For some reason I have Dave Matthews’s ‘Everyday’ rolling through my head. So here is my Lift Me Up Love Blend.
Tangerine Essential Oil
With my brain going 90 to nothing today with the aforementioned ‘To Do List’ looming overhead I chose Tangerine to try to reel in my racing brain and bring about a calm and peaceful thought process. I didn’t want to ‘relax’ but I did want to cheerful and comforting. Tangerine has been coveted for 3 millennia in China for, among other things, digestive issues. Tangerine’s uplifting, fresh and soft citrus aroma, ability to ease the stomach and ease the mind makes it a must have oil. It is very loving for the skin and is one of the oils in our Baby Bump Balm recipe.
Balsam Fir Essential Oil
I am a bit of a sucker for conifers and anytime I can slip one in I try to. This was selected for the backup to the Tangerine. It has a propensity to energize and balance when inhaled and the added benefit of enhancing the breathing space and immune system. It is very windy and dry here and the weather has been too inviting not to have the windows open lately. I want to limit any allergy response I could have to the dust and pollen freely invading my lungs! An ounce of prevention kinda thing.
Peppermint Essential Oil
So bringing in the stimulating part I chose Peppermint. I need to be alert and focused so that I get this stuff done. Since I have had the legal limit of coffee this morning I will turn to this oil to give me a good healthy slap in the face!
Lemon Essential Oil
Much like Peppermint it was selected to add to the focus and energy needed. I thought of it as the kiss after the slap. Just sort of softens it a bit and complements the Tangerine quite nicely.
Namaste,
Ida
