Good Day , May Blessings come your way..Peace, Doreen
Breathing is something most people just take for granted. Breath, though is a blessing, filling our beings with life force, known as prana by some who focus this vital energy into their very existence.

One of the many reasons I began formulating with essential oils was & is to increase my vitality through the consciousness of breath. All my life I have been sensitive to smells. As a little girl I was known to pull the pipe out of my Grandpops mouth when he smoked and I persuaded my Dad to stop smoking ci**rs, at least inside the house . I remember going to events where the rooms were filled with smoke because back then smoking was popular & social engagements were difficult for me to attend. As a little kid I often opted to go off by myself to be away from the crowds. I feel a lot like that little girl, having to isolate myself from toxic fumes of all sorts.
Yes I know most people are not so affected by their surroundings. Or are they? Whether one has acute intolerance to nasty chemicals or just wants to purify the air quality here are some suggestions.
Essential oils are quite potent & should be used with purposeful intention. I create myriads of formulations for just about every need.I like synergies of blends as the combinations are beneficial, combining traits and blending aromatic profiles. Neat (meaning no carrier base) essential oils work amazingly well in a diffusor for enhancement of wellness through the tiny particles that enter our beings through our amazing olfactory system. Think about that...people hide from airborne bacteria, so using plant oils helps mitigate that .
Blends for the body should always be in a proper carrier base, my first choice is jojoba as it is a liquid wax, virtually scentless & lasts for years. I make numerous blends...why? Like good food & drink I like a variety & I feel the effectiveness is enhanced through this versatility.
Feel free to ask me about anything I make. We all are composed of our unique "terrain", so choices are good for us to pick what we most resonate with.
There are some communalities of the blends focused on breathing. The essential oils are anti microbial, alerting and often "clearing" for the mucous membranes.
GREEN HERBS, LEAVES, NEEDLES In my communicative teaching I often refer to a “green” category. Most leaves and tree needles are green in color which indicates some similarity between the great variety that exist. These plant allies protect and strengthen the immune system while nourishing the lungs and increasing oxygenation. Our lung capacity gives us our breath. With this we can use speech to communicate. The plants communicate through their scent, shape and color. We just need to breathe in the essence, observe their shape and tune into the vibrational frequencies they exist with. With expansion of ourselves we may come to the realization that the universe hold unseen truths that we possibly may connect with. The Doctrine of Signatures clearly illustrates through the shape and functions of these plants the parallel existence between respiration and transpiration. Botanical medicines made from herbs most often ease symptoms and repair the body from throat infections through antiseptic and antibacterial actions they transport. The color Green is associated with the heart chakra and healing. Breath and life are linked and our heart needs this prana to be vital. Plants are potent, offering us empowerment through the vitality they emit. We may create through and with the intelligence of nature with these inspirational verdant forces.
