Equipment

  • Small dark glass bottle

Materials

Breathe Easy Inhalation Blend

Blissed Out Massage Oil

Instructions

  • I find it’s easier to measure out the carrier oil in a separate container, like a measuring cup. Then slowly add in the appropriate essential oils.
  • Pour the massage oil into a dark bottle and shake well to combine.
  • Don't forget to date and label each bottle so you can remember which oil is which.

Notes

How to Do an Ayurvedic Massage

Make up the two blends by mixing each blend in its own bottle.
Run the bath and make sure the room is warm.
Inhale the Breathe Easy blend, and think of a beautiful place. Inhale again and imagine all the muscles in your body relaxing.
Pour a small amount of the Blissed Out oil into the palm of your hand and warm by rubbing your hands together. Massage the face by rubbing the oil in with nice firm circles across the forehead and across the cheeks and chin. Massage the whole body in the same way and give the bigger muscles a few squeezes too, particularly the shoulders and neck.
Soak in the bath and think about your favorite places and things. Repeat this treatment every couple of days if you’re going through a stressful patch, and continue monthly for maintenance.
