This specially crafted oil blend is intended to support your practice of mindfulness, helping you remain anchored in the present moment rather than becoming lost in memories of the past or anxieties about the future.
By following these detailed steps, you will create a personal tool for focus and calm.
This recipe yields one ounce of mindfulness oil, perfect for personal use or as a thoughtful gift.
Gather the following ingredients and tools before you begin:
♦ 1 tablespoon carrier oil, such as sweet almond, jojoba, or grapeseed—this forms the base of your blend and helps dilute the essential oils for safe use on the skin.
♦ 10 drops frankincense essential oil, which brings clarity and grounding energy.
♦ 10 drops sandalwood essential oil, renowned for promoting calmness and enhancing focus.
♦ 5 drops jasmine essential oil, to uplift your mood and encourage positivity.
♦ 5 drops clary sage essential oil, which supports mental clarity and emotional balance.
♦ 1-ounce glass bottle with a secure cap, for storing your finished blend.
♦ A label and pen or marker, so you can easily identify your oil.
Instructions:
Step 1: Begin by finding a quiet, comfortable space where you will not be disturbed. Take a few deep, slow breaths to center yourself. If you wish, close your eyes and visualize roots extending from your body into the earth, grounding your energy and preparing you for mindful creation.
Step 2: Carefully measure one tablespoon of your chosen carrier oil and pour it into the clean, dry glass bottle. Next, add each essential oil one drop at a time, starting with frankincense, then sandalwood, followed by jasmine and clary sage. As you add each drop, focus on your intention—imagine the qualities of mindfulness, presence, and clarity infusing the blend.
Step 3: Once all the oils are combined, securely cap the bottle. Hold the bottle gently between your hands. Take a moment to close your eyes and speak aloud or silently: “I charge you to help keep my mind in the present, focused on the here and now. So may it be.” Visualize your intention flowing into the oil, empowering it with your purpose.
Step 4: Using your label and pen, clearly write the name and purpose of your blend—such as “Mindfulness Oil: For Presence and Focus”—and affix it to the bottle. Your mindfulness oil blend is now complete and ready for use. To use, simply anoint your pulse points, temples, or the palms of your hands whenever you wish to invite mindfulness into your day. Store the bottle in a cool, dark place to preserve its potency.
