Sweet Orange helps us to revive a sense of wonder in the world, urging you to approach each moment with ease and appreciation. 

Sweet Orange is a versatile oil that is great in diffuser blends as it has a pleasant and familiar aroma. It’s also one that’s relatively safe for children (though for both children and adults, we recommend against using old/oxidized oils as well as avoiding use in the bath — we know this from personal experience!)

In inner work, the bright fragrance of Sweet Orange invites our inner child out to play. This sweet citrus peels away the masks of adulthood, opening up a sense of playfulness—one we often feel is too frivolous for our fast-paced lives. 

This essential oil can help revive a sense of wonder in the world, urging you to approach each moment with ease and appreciation. 

Even when the stress of life weighs heavy on your mind, the scent of Sweet Orange will lift your heart and encourage your mind to follow. 

Watch the video below and let’s play around with some Sweet Orange.

Be open to the voice of your inner child as you use this playful essential oil.

Now, if you didn’t catch that, here’s the 3 questions I’d like you to ask yourself as you sit with Sweet Orange:

• What brings me joy? 
• When was the last time I became absorbed in the enjoyment of an activity? 
• How can I insert a little more fun into my day?

Extra Credit: Allow yourself to approach your next task with the cheerful qualities of Sweet Orange, and remember how effortless having fun can be.

Aromatically, Clary Sage has the richness that we find in many herbs with a brightness almost like a citrus. It’s a versatile oil that is also known as a euphoric—something that makes you feel good.

Therapeutically, it can also be used for helping with menstrual cramps, muscle spasms, and oily skin and hair (just to name a few uses!).

But used in a Daily Practice, it can help you to gain clarity in your creative projects.

I was in the shower (don’t all great ideas come in the shower?) using my Geranium Salt Scrub and just wondering why I’m so attracted to work with Geranium right now. I remembered that it is excellent in helping us to stay in balance.

So I wanted to have an affirmation for it and this is what came to me: 

🌊As I ride the waves of life, my body, mind, and heart find balance. ⚖️

But the thing about balance is that it’s not a static state. 

It’s a movement between varying degrees of extremes, that is ever present, and can itself vary between appearing effortless and being um … less than graceful. 

We often think that balance is something to be captured, that once we have it, we’re done. Like it’s a scale we can obtain and stay there. But it’s the opposite, think of life as one long balancing act, we’re always having to adjust course based on current reality. 

And guess what? That’s always changing. Thank goodness we’ve got tools like essential oils always at the ready to help us find what adjustments we need to stay on course.

Anyways, I offer up to you this affirmation to be used with Rose Geranium, another essential oil of your choice, or a blend of the two. Or better yet, try all 3!

My favorite ways to use Geranium right now are in my Salt Scrub, my face oil, and I’ve even been keeping it by my desk to help me in stressful moments.

There’s a ton of ways to use Geranium, what’s your favorite? Leave me a comment below.
