Time For Timelessness
- Please turn off your phone. Pretend you’re going on an airplane if that helps!
- Set your diffuser directly in front of you, and have your chosen Essential Oil close by.
- Create your space to sit. Use pillows or a straight-backed chair if you wish.
- Observing the mist or candle-flame, take three breaths. Inhale through the nose deeply down into the body; release fully, exhaling all the air.
- Bring the Oil to your nose with both hands. Experience gratitude knowing that you are completely supported as you repeat the three deep breaths. Put the Oil down.
- Releasing your hands onto your legs, imagine there is a cord of light all along your spine that effortlessly lifts and aligns you.
- Closing your eyes, inhale for a count of five. Hold for five, release for five, hold for five. Repeat. This is foursquare breathing. You will feel a deep connection with the breath and a stilling of anxious thoughts.
- Maintain foursquare or simple deep breathing for about three minutes.
- Repeat Step 5.
- Place hands at your heart, palms together and feel your radiant transformed energy connecting with the Universe.
