Pass me the Lavender….
Sometimes I just want to smell the relaxing scent of Lavender throughout my home. Combined with Geranium and Clary Sage I feel wrapped in a cosy blanket of loveliness! It balances and calms me and creates a space where I, and all around me, feel a bit loved. This is a perfect blend for when I am in Demeter, my Earth mother phase (around ovulation).
Whereas earlier in my cycle, when I am in Daphne, I want the vibrant and energetic oils to boost my focus, keep me motivated and uplifted. I love to use essentials oils like Lemon, Bergamot, Rosemary and Basil. Daphne is in pre-ovulation around days 6 to 12 of your cycle.
Before menstruation, when I am in Persephone I know I can be a little touchy. I can be irritable and rash, but passionate and creative. So I like to burn essential oils that support me at this time. Essential oils like Jasmine, Patchouli, Ylang Ylang and Sweet Orange are some favourites around this time.
And when I am in Hecate (day one of a new cycle), and want the world to slow down I reach for Atlas Cedarwood, Australian Sandalwood, Frankincense and Lavender.
Using essential oils can create a mood, whether in your home or workplace, that helps you through emotions and feelings you are experiencing. You can use them in an oil burner or in a blend with some almond oil on your body. The scents can help you to identify and enhance the Emgoddess phase you are in.
