Hey Mavericks, I just wanted to share a pendulum experience. Last week, I attended my very first class with @Jane Lawson, titled Dowsing for Essential Oils. This was a great class and one I recommend to anyone. This morning, I had to wake up early to attend a webinar hosted by Aromatherapist @Robin Kessler that started at 6:00 am AEST. I had awakened with really bad nausea that did not want to go away, and so I decided to dowse for a remedy. I used my black obsidian pendulum over my collection of essential oils, and it chose the following: - Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) - Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis) - Ginger (Zingiber officinale) - Lemon (Citrus Limon) - Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) After it chose these oils, I then asked for the method to use them, and I was expecting it to choose an inhalation route, but instead the pendulum decided on massage oil. So, I asked what base ingredient it wanted, and it selected Sweet Almond (Prunus dulcis). I proceeded to dowse for the dose of each essential oil, and this is what the pendulum chose for me: - 6 drop Sweet Orange - 5 drops Roman Chamomile - 1 drop Ginger - 1 drop Lemon - 1 drop Frankincense I formulated this into 30mls of the Sweet almond, which gave me a 2.46% dilution. I asked the pendulum how often I would need to apply this massage oil, and it told me once. I applied the oil onto my abdomen, and literally within 10 minutes, my nausea completely went away. About the formulation: This specific aromatherapy massage blend works effectively because it combines gastrointestinal (gut) relaxants with neurological (brain) calmers. Applying this formulation to the stomach allows the active volatile molecules to absorb transdermally (through the skin) while simultaneously releasing therapeutic vapors for you to inhale. By combining these five specific oils, the pendulums blend addresses digestion and nausea from multiple angles:

Not to mention that Digestizen has a further 6 oils in it: Peppermint, Cardamon, Coriander (repeat), Ginger (repeat), Caraway and Fennel! FFS! A total of 6 oils, 4 of which have contraindications to use! Then there's the dosage: a total of 44 drops to 10ml, that's 2ml EO's to 8ml carrier...... well overdosing!

Day 3, strictly speaking it was last night, of Aromatherapy Awareness week...... and here we have East meets West @Matthew Sulpizi representing Australia and @Ruxandra Meinze representing the US, with yours truly in the middle. Q. What were they learning? A. How to dowse for Essential Oils. Q. What happens when 3 Aromatherapists get together? A. A two hour class turns into 3! 😂 Those who know me, know I have been dowsing for EO's for over 30 years now, and I have learnt more about EO's and their nuances and personalities than any book has taught me. Dowsing for EO's absolutely nails what clients need. Next class is Wednesday 24th June, 7pm GMT.

Shadow work is a psychological and even a spiritual practice aimed at exploring and integrating the unconscious parts of your mind, often referred to as the "shadow self". Popularized by psychiatrist Carl Jung, it involves confronting repressed emotions, traumas, and hidden aspects of your personality to achieve wholeness and self-acceptance. As part of shadow work, I do like to use essential oils to help me connect with what I am trying to work through. I am curious, what essential oils do you guys like to use for shadow work and why? What in your shadow work took kit? Personally, I am thinking about combining shadow work with aromatherapy and mirror work using my 8-inch black obsidian scrying mirror.

We've just had a very hot week here in the UK, really high temperatures, but we got through it! 😂 I live very close to the Gloucestershire border and they had the most spectacular thunder and lightening storm the other night. It was constant lightening and rolling thunder, so much so it woke me up and I sat up watching it out of my backdoor. I've never seen a storm like it. So what's coming up in June class wise? I'll be tagging people who are already signed up as I go along.
