Aromatherapy for the Holiday Spirit
from: Francoise RappThe holiday season stirs up some of our most basic joys in life. The friendship and camaraderie we find at holiday parties and other social engagements is one of the highlights of the season. So is the fulfillment we gain through our special efforts to please our loved ones as we shop to find items that will make them smile. Moreover, since this is the season of giving, I encourage you to donate your time or money to those who lack of the warmth of a home, family and friends, or to children who won't enjoy the delight of opening their gifts.
While the holidays are about giving, loving and joyous celebration, many consider this time of year to be stressful, lonely and expensive. If you're feeling more like Scrooge than Santa, I offer the following aromatic blends to help you get into the holiday spirit, become more sociable, and open your heart to others who are unable to enjoy the holidays the way we do. Be ready to fully enjoy, laugh, socialize and share this holiday season by experimenting with these wonderful aromatic blends!
To create each of these blends, pour the essential oils into a 10-ml bottle and add organic vegetable oil to fill.
