Hello dear friends,

This is where I share some of my favorite handmade recipes: soothing scrubs, salves and bath blends that I make with love. Many are the same ones I offer in my Etsy shop. I still love a few Young Living oils, and you’ll see them pop up now and then.

I hope these bring a little calm and comfort to your days.

Spiritual Clearing Bath

A simple, loving bath for letting go and feeling lighter.

You’ll need:

  • 8 cups Epsom salt
  • 1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide
  • 1/2 cup baking soda
  • 5 drops sage essential oil, or your favorite oil
  • 4 white tea candles, one in each corner of the tub

How to:

  1. Mix the oil drops into the Epsom salt first.
  2. Add everything to a warm bath and swirl.
  3. Light your candles and soak about 15 minutes, letting anything heavy release. Drain the water.
  4. Refill with clear, warm water, imagine it glowing with white light, and soak another 15 minutes.

Keep candles a safe distance away, do a skin patch test first, and skip this bath if you’re pregnant or have a skin condition. For relaxation and spiritual self-care, not medical advice.

Grounding with Sage Essential Oil

Many people find sage grounding and use it to feel calm and protected.

  1. Place a few drops of sage essential oil, diluted in a carrier oil, in the palm of your hand.
  2. Touch the oil with your finger and gently swirl it around three times to activate it.
  3. Rub your hands together.
  4. Gently touch each chakra, starting at the top of your head (crown), then your forehead (third eye), the front of your neck (throat), your chest (heart), your upper abdomen (solar plexus), and about two inches below your navel (sacral).
  5. Finish at the base of your spine (root), then the bottoms of your feet.

Always dilute essential oils in a carrier oil, do a small patch test first, and avoid during pregnancy.

For relaxation and spiritual self-care, not medical advice.

My Tree Grounding Blend

This blend is inspired by the trees. I love it on days when I want to feel calm, steady and connected to the earth.

Ingredients: fir, spruce, cedarwood and ylang ylang essential oils in jojoba oil.

Always dilute essential oils and do a small patch test first. Keep the blend away from eyes and out of reach of children and pets.

For relaxation and spiritual self-care, not medical advice.
