As we go through the wheel of life, different seasons or times of the year bring kindness, empathy, and generosity. Similarly, there are sentimental longings caused by memories of the past. These energies are interconnected. The vibration of warmth and nostalgia can help you cope with transitions and stressful periods. These influences enrich the human experience.
During this season, combine the essential oils of allspice, cardamon, cinnamon, orange, and vetiver. Add a drop of each in a diffuser or add it to a bottle with 2 ounces of water and use it as a room spray.
Allspice’s aroma brings elevated awareness and intelligence. Inhale the aroma of this essential oil while focusing on gratitude for abundance and blessings in your life. Hold onto a piece of the mineral copper to magnify and also be a conduit for good in the lives of many, creating good memories for future nostalgia.
Inhaling the scent of cardamom helps reduce feelings of being overwhelmed by memories or seasonal gatherings. Golden calcite pairs well with this essential oil. Connected to the solar plexus chakra, this gemstone helps in integrating and processing information. Use it to enhance your personal power and self-esteem to remain energized and positive during seasonal changes. Calcite generally supports managing change.
The aroma of cinnamon essential oil evokes feelings of comfort, warmth, and happiness. It’s an ideal scent to boost your confidence and clear any perceived obstacles, allowing you to step forward with high self-esteem to pursue your goals and desires. Additionally, cinnamon essential oil helps improve cognitive function and awakens you from mental stagnation. It promotes the flow of energy and enhances your ability to process everything happening around you. Sunstone aligns you with your brilliance. Use it to lift your spirit and boost your self-confidence. Its fiery energy dissipates out-of-balance watery emotions. Sunstone is a stone of new beginnings that brings promise and optimism. Use it to help lift you out of feelings of depression through the realization that happiness is always available to you and that it is up to you.
The sweet and sunny aroma of orange essential oil signals optimism, joy, and prosperity. Orange oil provides spiritual strength and self-confidence to support you as you cultivate your gifts and turn ideas into reality. When combined with carnelian, the orange-red variety of chalcedony, you can stimulate your creativity from your fertile mind. This pairing of orange essential oil and the vibrant gemstone carnelian is a perfect duo to bring your creative ideas to life—carnelian is an excellent stone for enhancing visualization skills, and the scent of orange adds a joyful vibration to everything you do.
The earthy scent of vetiver essential oil, derived from the roots of this tropical grass, creates a strong base for spiritual practices. Vetiver helps purify the aura and balances emotions, feelings, and uncontrolled reactions. Inhale the aroma of vetiver to remember your vision or your sacred spiritual agreement for being here on Earth at this time. Use vetiver essential oil to ground yourself and bring your vision to life. Use it ceremonially and in rituals as part of your spiritual routine. Pair andalusite with vetiver. Andalusite, also known as chiastolite, has inclusions that form a black cross. This mark helps you align with earth-centered spirituality. Earth-centered spirituality includes the beliefs and practices of indigenous peoples around the world. Use the vetiver essential oil and Andalusite combination when you want to stay focused on a challenging task.
Enjoy the scents of essential oils, especially when paired with crystals, minerals, and stones to enhance your experience. Improve your quality of life, harness the power of crystals, and let the aromas provide the enrichment you need. Allow these gems combined with aromatherapy to boost your well-being and help you appreciate the changing seasons and holiday celebrations.
