Aromas to Improve Your Work Commute
By: Francoise Rapp
Think your career is stressful
and exhausting? Perhaps it's more than your workload that's causing
you undue stress. If you have a lengthy commute to and from the
office, there's no question it can wreak havoc on your nerves.
After all, most commuters spend a large fraction of their days
sitting in slow-moving traffic with others who would also rather
be elsewhere. This frustrating routine can even be more exhaustive
than your work itself! Your nerves and patience are tested, and
by the time you reach your destination you find yourself on the
edge.
The good news is you can cope with
your commute without getting trapped in an endless cycle of nervousness,
anxiety and tension. Aromatherapy is a versatile way to improve
your mood and help you relax and find balance.
Today I'll show you how to transform your commute from a dreadful
activity into a pleasant and private moment to yourself. All
you need is an essential oil diffuser and a few select essential
oils and you can create customized fragrances to diffuse in your
car that will help you find tranquility, joy, and the opportunity
to replenish your energy! |

- YOUR RITUAL -
Start every commute with a brief
mantra to put you in the correct frame of mind to enjoy the ride.
When you first get into your car and before you start your engine,
take several deep breaths and say the following:
"Today I feel totally in touch with myself. I am grounded
and enjoy being here and in the present. I am blessed with joy,
love and peace."
Take a few more deep breaths. Visualize yourself integrating
those words, breathing them in. Now turn the engine on and enjoy
the ride!
- TO PREPARE YOUR BLENDS -
In a 10 ml bottle, add your oils
from the recipes below. Use only pure and undiluted essential

- TO DIFFUSE YOUR BLENDS -
There are a variety of ways to
diffuse your oils. Your local natural food store or metaphysical
store should offer a selection of the items below:

Originally designed to hang in
the rear view mirror, it is a nice little clay diffuser.
· The Scent Ball Car Diffuser
Add 5-15 drops of your selected
essential oil or blend and plug it into your cigarette lighter
adapter.
· Create a Pot-Pourri made of dried flowers and leaves
and add 10 to 15 drops of the pure essential oil blend to it.
