Stress Relief Massage Oil

When stress becomes overwhelming, we may turn inwards and become lethargic or depressed. Preparing a blend that will stimulate or energize us is the key here and can be used to treat conditions such as jet lag. Use for full body massage or apply to specific areas like the soles of the feet or chest area to reduce tension.

The stimulating, refreshing quality of grapefruit and cedar help combat exhaustion while the soothing properties of lavender act as a tonic for the nervous system.

1 once glass bottle

1 once carrier oil

4 drops atlas cedar essential oil

5 drops grapefruit essential oil

3 drops lavender essential oil.

Fill the bottle half with the carrier oil. Add essential oils and shake well. Top off with remaining carrier oil, cover and agitate a second time. Apply where needed.

The Power of the Smile

More over, misery. Happiness may love company even more. Researchers found that happiness may stem from a group effort then from one persons lifestyle and choices. A persons positive emotional state is actually contagious, affecting not just her immediate social circle, but her friends' friends, and even friends' friends friends. The upbeat vibes ripple out to touch people she's never met, with the effects lasting up up a year. Even better news? Sadness can't hold a candle to this kind of emotional contagion.

So why not start your own cheerful chain reaction? Do something today that lifts your spirits, and you'll be sending out waves of contentment to those around you and beyond.
