Woke up early this morning with a distracted mind. Too much to do and unable to narrow it down to a starting point. Decided to make a diffuser blend to help me with this issue…
Citrus aurantium
One of the least used oils in my arsenal is Petitgrain. I admit it deserves more of the spotlight in my blending habits. This oil helps drive off negative thinking and promotes self-confidence. It is protective and offers a gentle guiding hand towards one’s higher self. It promotes optimism and boosts intellectual power. Gives the gift of self-acceptance and self-love while promoting concentration and a clear mind. A wonderful delicate aroma that packs a powerful punch.
Citrus sinensis
Of the scents that consistently bring about a happy joyous feeling orange is my favorite one. I really love the Dark Orange that I have and grab for it more often than the other orange varieties of essential oils in my collection. It is made with slightly overripe oranges giving it a much sweeter and deeper smell. Uplifting and pleasing I chose to add orange to compliment the Petitgrain’s efforts to drive off negative inner dialogue and promote positivity. Orange brings calmness to the soul and helps to distract me from obsessive thinking.
Juniperus communis
Bringing juniper into the mix adds a stimulating component to the blend. Juniper is stimulating to the body and the mind helping to boost mental function while the Petitgrain, Lemon and Orange Essential Oils steer my thinking in a positive direction. It is like the gas in the engine of this blend so to speak. On its own merit, Juniper is a powerful friend to have when you are feeling ‘dislodged’ from yourself so to speak as it promotes an inner consciousness and awareness of self. The slight peppery aroma complements the sweetness of the citrus. This little gem has an amazing history of use and is an oil worth learning about.
Citrus limon
I wanted to add a little of this to promote alertness and a bit of perk to the blend. Lemon is good at clearing up scattered thoughts and promoting direct and purposeful thinking.
Namaste,
Ida
