These 3 simple rituals are designed as starting points to help quiet the anxiety, overwhelm, or guilt — the common "demons" that show up in this beautiful season of our life. Because every woman’s energy, hormones, and scent preferences are unique, treat these as invitations to experiment playfully.
Always start low and slow...
Bioindividuality Tip: Your response depends on your nervous system, histamine tendencies, hormonal season (e.g., perimenopause), and what scents FEEL comforting vs. temporary/short-term to you. Test one drop first and make notes in a journal for 3 days — what helps one woman feel at ease might need to be adjusted for another.
Ritual 1: Soothe Anxiety (Racing Thoughts / Wired Energy)
Focus: Gentle nervous-system calm without heavy sedation.
- Inhalation Ritual (quickest): 1–2 drops roman chamomile or bergamot on a tissue or inhaler. Inhale slowly for 1–2 minutes while allowing your anxiety demon to shrink with each breath.
- Diffuser Option: 3 drops roman chamomile + 2 drops bergamot.
- Roller Option (diluted): 4 drops roman chamomile + 2 drops bergamot in a 10ml roller topped with a carrier oil of your choice. Apply to wrists or temples.
Ritual 2: Ease Overwhelm (Buried / Exhausted but Restless Feeling)
Focus: Grounding with a touch of uplift.
- Inhalation Ritual: 1 drop geranium or copaiba. Inhale while placing a hand on your heart and offering yourself a kind phrase (e.g., “I’m doing my best”).
- Diffuser Option: 3 drops geranium + 2 drops roman chamomile or copaiba.
- Roller Option: 4 drops geranium + 2 drops copaiba in 10ml carrier oil. Apply over heart or inner wrists.
Ritual 3: Release Guilt (Self-Criticism / Heavy Heart)
Focus: Heart-centered compassion and emotional balance.
- Inhalation Ritual: 1 drop ylang ylang or clary sage. Inhale while placing a hand on your heart and offering yourself a kind phrase (e.g., “I’m doing my best”).
- Diffuser Option: 3 drops ylang ylang + 2 drops cedarwood atlas or clary sage.
- Roller Option: 4 drops ylang ylang + 2 drops clary sage in 10ml carrier oil. Apply over heart or inner wrists.
How to Make It Truly Yours (Attuning Steps):
- Start with 1 drop in diffusion or heavily diluted for topical use.
- Notice: Does this scent FEEL calming, too strong, uplifting, or neutral?
- Adjust: Swap oils, change drop count, or combine based on your response (e.g., if florals feel heavy, lean more citrus/woody). Remember ... these are suggestions. If you have questions, please ask!!
- Myrrh or galbanum can be deeply grounding for some but too intense for others — we explore them safely in the paid tier.
