What is Intuitive Essential Oil Blending?
Intuitive essential oil blending is a process that involves listening to your body and mind, rather than relying on specific recipes or proportions. This allows you to create unique blends that are perfectly tailored to your current emotional, physical, or spiritual needs. It is a great way for aromatherapy to support and harmonize your needs in the here and now.
How to prepare a custom blend of oils, tailored to your needs?
Set your goal:
Think about what you need most at the moment. Do you want to create a blend that will help you relax, improve your mood, or perhaps help you focus better? Setting a goal at the beginning of the process can help direct your intuition in the right direction and support you.
Prepare for the process:
Prepare everything you need to Create a unique blend - essential oils, mixing bottles, pipettes, carrier oils, etc. It is also good practice to use a notebook in which you write down your observations and feelings and the proportions of oils used. In addition, find a suitable place and time when no one and nothing will distract you.
Calm your mind:
Before you start blending, it is important to start with a calm and clear mind. You can do this through meditation, deep breathing, or just spending a few minutes in silence.
Know your essential oils:
Even if they are not new to you and you have used them before. Focus on each oil at your disposal for a moment. Smell it, feel its scent, and think about how it affects you here and now. Write down your feelings in a notebook - does the oil calm you down, give you energy, or do you feel that it helps you focus?
Listen to your intuition:
Now that you have a goal and know your oils, let your intuition guide you through the blending process. You may decide you want to use more of one oil and less of another, or you may find that some oils you hadn't thought of before seem like they would be perfect for your blend. Remember, there are no rules here—it's your blend, and it should work for you.
Test and improve oil blends:
Once you’ve finished creating your blend, test it out. You can do this by putting a few drops on a piece of cotton and smelling it. Think about how you feel. Is there anything you’d like more or less of? If so, don’t be afraid to adjust your blend. The process of intuitive blending is about constant adjustment and experimentation.
Remember that intuitive mixing is a process that takes practice. Don't be discouraged if your blends don't come out perfectly at first. The more you practice, the easier it will be to listen to your intuition and create blends that are perfect for you.
