Happy Tuesday!
As we transition into the new season, with the Fall Equinox arriving on Sept. 22nd, take the time needed to regroup and do what you need to in order to stay balanced as this new season arrives. According to Ayurveda, we are entering the season of Vata. This can be a tough season for many of us so listen to your body and follow some Vata-pacifying tips to help you ease into this new season.

Aromatherapy Luminary Tip
Sacred Rituals -
When I think of a ritual, I think of an action performed to bring more mindfulness into my day - this is what a ritual means to me. I use them daily to bring more awareness into my life. The frequency with which they are done is your choice; daily, weekly, monthly. It's up to you.
A ritual does not have to be a lengthy ceremony. It could be as simple as saying an affirmation when you wake up in the morning to start your day. Or it could be taking a deep inhale and exhale before getting out of bed. Of course it could be something that takes longer such as a nice warm hot bath.
~In a nutshell, a ritual is something you do to bring your awareness into the present moment.~
Whatever ritual you choose, aromatherapy can enhance it. Using essential oils adds a little sacredness. These natural essence from nature help to raise the energetic vibration of your intention.
~When you perform a ritual, there is usually an intention behind it.~
For instance, one ritual I do almost every night before I go to bed is massage my feet and hands with one of my body oils. My intention behind this act is to bring my awareness into the present moment by using my senses as a pathway to presence. I pay attention as I work the oil into my feet and hands, being grateful that they are here to allow me to do the work I do. I also inhale the amazing scent from the essential oils which calms my body and mind. It takes me all of about 2 minutes to do this, but adds so much to the quality of my sleep. I can feel the difference when I do not do it.
Meditating is also a ritual where essential oils can benefit. Certain essential oils calm the mind such as Frankincense, Myrrh and Sandalwood. You can inhale one of these essential oils right from the bottle or make an aromatherapy mist or oil to annoint yourself with before meditating to quiet the mind and reach a deeper place within.
Starting your day with a ritual can help set the tone of your day and ending with one can help you prepare for a good night's sleep. Try adding some essential oils to deepen your intention and pave your way to your pathway to presence.
Enjoy!
*Important Note: Before using any essential oils, check with your medical practitioner if you have any health concerns or conditions or if you are pregnant or nursing.

Quote Of The Week
The cure of many diseases is unknown to physicians...They are ignorant of the whole which ought to be studied also, for the part can never be well unless the whole is well. This is the great error of our day in the treatment of the human body, that the physician separates the soul from the body.
