Ensure you are in a comfortable position and that you can relax for these moments without being interrupted.
Firstly,
Just relax into your position.
Close your eyes and feel the weight of your body.
Feel the movement of air into and out of your lungs.
Breathing in,
Then out.
There is no need to force the breath,
Simply let it flow.
Breathing in,
Then out.
Keep your awareness to the gentle flow of air into your body and out again.
Breathing in,
Then out.
Now we can introduce the essential oil aroma into the moment of peace.
Let the smell enter your nose,
Going down into your lungs as you breathe.
Take the time to focus on the smell.
Is it floral?
Is it herbaceous?
Is it fruity?
Is it woody?
Feel the aromatic air entering your nostrils and passing down into your lungs.
Can you smell the different component essential oils?
The top note aroma is the easiest to notice.
Then the middle and the base notes come through,
All blending together to create that beautiful smell.
Breathe it in and then out.
As you breathe in the essential oils,
Imagine that they bring with them peace and serenity.
Feel your body relax as the oil blend enters it.
Imagine the peace from the essential oils spreading throughout your body as they fill your lungs and then enter your blood stream and then move into your entire being.
Imagine the aroma filling every space within your body.
Each organ coming in contact with the oils.
The peaceful sensation that comes with it.
The aroma fills your lungs,
Your heart space,
Your chest cavity radiating throughout your torso.
The aroma fills your abdomen.
It runs over your liver,
Your kidneys,
Your colon and into your sacral cavity.
It sits in the well that is your pelvis.
The aroma fills your sinuses,
Your ears and up into your skull.
The scent filled air covering your brain,
It washes away your distractions and thoughts.
The serenity swells over you and through you as the aroma becomes a part of you.
Peace becomes a part of you.
Let the aroma cleanse your body,
Your mind,
Your spirit.
Find your inner peace as the aroma settles in your heart,
Your gut,
Your brain.
Feel your chest and abdomen expand with the aromatic breath and the slow release as the air returns outward.
Relax in this blissful moment.
Let your mind be still.
If you find your thoughts drifting,
Gently bring them back to the aroma and the movement of the scent filled air in your body.
Breathing in and out.
Now as you breathe,
Take your awareness to the out breath.
Feel the air passing out of your nostrils and releasing the aromatic notes of the essential oils back out into the world.
Imagine as the scent filled air has washed through you,
It has cleansed away your stresses and worries,
Taking anxiety with it and leaving peace in its place.
Be aware of the air moving out of your body and the anxiety being carried in that air being released from your being,
Leaving serenity and relaxation.
And once again,
Breathe in the aromatic blend,
Feeling the peace that it brings with it as it moves into your body and the release of any tension as the air passes back out of your nose or from between your lips.
Breathing in a sense of calm.
Breathing out all worry and anxiousness.
Breathing in and then out.
You relax in this moment.
You don't need to think.
You don't need to do.
You can simply be.
Be at one with the aroma.
Be at one with the air.
Be at one with yourself.
You valued you,
Cherished you,
Beloved you.
Be still and yet flowing like the aromatic air flowing over you and in you.
Breathing in and out.
Take your awareness back to the aroma.
Can you still smell its beauty?
Can you still smell its peace?
Imagine the essential oils as an energy source,
A lifeblood as it once was for the plant from which it was extracted.
It has now been preciously given to you.
Give thanks and feel gratitude for this treasure that the earth has provided.
Feel the energy of the oil blend as it enters your nostrils.
Feel that energy becoming a part of your being.
As you breathe it in,
Feel it invigorate you,
Renew you,
Rejuvenate you,
Awaken you.
Become aware of the energy reaching every corner and crevice of your body.
Down each arm and into your hands and your fingers.
Down your legs,
Into your feet and your toes.
Into your chest,
Filling your heart space.
Up into your brain and filling your mind.
With each in-breath,
Feel the awakening in your soul,
Your spirit renewed.
The negative energy has been dispelled and you are filled with an aroma of bliss and joy.
Breathe it in and then out.
Feel a passion within you,
Something quelled by anxiety that can now be realized.
Feel creativity and enthusiasm move through your veins and into your organs and throughout your body.
Let the aroma be a warmth radiating within you.
Feel love and light and peace.
And when you are ready,
You can slowly and gently open your eyes.
You can be a part of this busy world but still have a calmness within you.
And when anxious thoughts arise again,
There's no doubt they will for all of us.
Know that you can return to this space of calm and peace.
Just simply inhale your special oil blend.
Focus on the aroma and let serenity flow once more.
