New Fabric. DM to order! Did do you know our handmade weighted essential oil eye pillows are a wonderful addition to your meditation, yoga, and sound therapy practices.

Benefits in Meditation

During meditation, the eye pillows serve multiple purposes. The gentle weight applies light pressure on the eyes, which can help to calm the nervous system and promote a deeper state of relaxation. The soothing scent of essential oils enhances your experience, allowing you to focus inward and reduce distractions. This combination can make it easier to reach a meditative state, fostering mindfulness and tranquility.

Enhancing Yoga Practices

In yoga, these eye pillows can be used during savasana (the final resting pose) or other restorative poses. The weight helps to ground you, providing a sense of stillness and stability. The aromatic properties of the essential oils can also assist in releasing tension, making transitions between poses smoother and enhancing overall relaxation. By creating a multisensory experience, these pillows contribute to a more profound connection between body and mind.

Complementing Sound Therapy

In sound therapy, where vibrational frequencies from instruments like singing bowls or gongs are used, eye pillows can enhance the overall experience. The gentle weight can help to anchor you while the calming scents create an inviting atmosphere for deep listening and reflection. This combination not only promotes relaxation but also allows for a more immersive experience, as you fully engage with the sounds around you without distractions.

Overall, our range of handmade weighted essential oil eye pillows are versatile tools that enrich meditation, yoga, and sound therapy practices, enhancing relaxation and promoting a deeper sense of well-being.

“India doesn’t show you itself; it shows you yourself.” Having just returned from an incredible trip, this sentiment resonates profoundly with our experience.

From the bustling streets to the vast national parks, India unfolded in layers, revealing both beauty and stark contrasts. We witnessed the resilience of communities facing poverty alongside incredible wealth, prompting us to reflect on our own lives and privileges.

One of the most memorable parts of our journey was the warm welcome we received from our guide and his family. They not only shared their knowledge of the land but also invited us to celebrate Diwali with them. Participating in the festival of lights, surrounded by laughter and joy, we felt an overwhelming sense of connection and belonging.

As we shared festive meals, we were reminded of the universal bonds that unite us. This trip was more than just a travel experience; it was a journey into our own hearts, revealing the shared humanity that transcends borders. India truly showed us ourselves in the most beautiful way.

There are several benefits of using essential oil soap:

1. Natural Fragrance: Essential oils are derived from plants and flowers, giving the soap a pleasant and natural fragrance. Unlike synthetic fragrances, essential oils provide a more authentic and soothing scent.

2. Aromatherapy: Essential oils have various therapeutic properties that can help improve mood, reduce stress, and promote relaxation.

3. Moisturizing: Many essential oils have moisturizing properties that can help nourish and hydrate the skin. Essential oil soaps are often made with natural ingredients that can leave the skin feeling soft and smooth.

4. Antimicrobial Properties: Some essential oils, such as tea tree oil and lavender oil, have antimicrobial properties that can help cleanse the skin and prevent bacterial growth. This makes essential oil soap a good choice for those with acne-prone or sensitive skin.

5. Chemical-Free: Commercial soaps often contain harsh chemicals and additives that can irritate the skin. Essential oil soaps, on the other hand, are typically made with natural ingredients and do not contain synthetic fragrances or harmful chemicals.

6. Eco-Friendly: Essential oil soaps are often made with natural and sustainable ingredients, making them a more environmentally friendly option compared to mass-produced soaps.

Overall, using essential oil soap can provide a luxurious and beneficial bathing experience, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Relief for headaches, anxiety & migraines!

- A 30 minute online Breath Coaching Session at Forest Haven Suffolk
- Plant based Hemp and Lavender Therapy Balm
- Essential Weighted Lavender & Eucalyptus Eye Pillow

Diaphragmatic breathing is particularly beneficial for managing anxiety by promoting a state of calm and relaxation. This technique encourages deeper, slower breaths, which activate the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing the body's stress response. As a result, it helps lower heart rate and blood pressure, alleviating feelings of tension and panic. Regular practice can enhance emotional regulation, allowing you to better cope with anxiety triggers and fostering a greater sense of control and tranquility in challenging situations.

*Client review*

I have been doing my breathing at least once a day and the results are amazing. Dizziness on waking completely gone, anxiety virtually gone - feel like back to myself!

The balm has a nourishing blend of Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Sesame Seed oil, Hemp Seed Oil, Vitamin E with the soothing benefits of Lavender Essential Oil. Massage the therapy balm on your temple or pulse points to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of lavender essential oil to help ease headaches.

Weighted pillows create weight against the pressure points around the eyes and face which can be helpful for stress, headaches and migraines.

Welcome to My Page new followers!

Hello! I’m Abigayle, a passionate personal trainer, yoga teacher, exercise rehabilitation specialist, scientist, yoga trapeze teacher, sound therapist, and coach in breathing and flexibility.

I have a deep love for all things natural, from essential oils to plastic-free, zero-waste products. What started as a hobby has grown into a successful small business.

The Essential Soap Bar: I founded The Essential Soap Bar to tackle the challenges of maintaining healthy, natural skincare, especially in the face of illness or the prevalence of chemical-laden products.

Essential Oils: A touch of essential oils can uplift your mood and enhance your overall well-being. For years, I’ve incorporated essential oils into my yoga practice and sound therapy and now they play a central role in my handmade products.

Essential oils are extracted from various parts of plants—including leaves, barks, stems, roots, and flowers—through processes like steam distillation.

Why Choose Essential Oils? Unlike synthetic fragrance oils, essential oils are derived from pure plant sources. Their distinctive aromas and chemical properties offer both physical and psychological benefits.

My soap, steamers, bath bombs and balm collection features six delightful blends of essential oils, all available for order on my website.

Thank you for being part of my journey toward natural wellness!
