Tradition dictates that Mother's Day is celebrated once a year and we will be following this tradition on Sunday, but truthfully most Mothers deserved to be celebrated every day and not just when retail suggests that we do! I found this short story/poem, written by twentieth Century author Temple Bailey, around the time my lovely Mother passed in March 2009 and I reread it every Mother's Day.

Energetically, Patchouli is for grounding and it strengthens the will to live.  It taps into the energies of Mother Earth to help bring us to a calm and centered place.  This can in turn help to relax and calm an overactive intellect. 

Once again I'm happy to share some information about the May Energetics - Full Moon, Flower, Crystal and Essential Oils. As I mentioned last month learning and understanding more about the energetics is something that I have always been very interested in and I find the more I learn, the clearer the picture becomes.

Coriander with its sweet, spicy light aroma has analgesic, aperitif, aphrodisiac, anti-rheumatic, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, anti-toxic, fungicidal, sedative and digestive stimulant properties.  It is helpful for soothing migraine, neuralgia and nervous exhaustion and can also be helpful for bad memory and dizziness, as well as for shock, sadness and fear.

The Lovers, Path 17 on the Tree of Life is called the Path of Zayin and travels between Binah at the head of the Pillar of Severity and Understanding, and Tiferet the center point on the Pillar of Balance.  This path connects Binah, representing understanding, intuition and the ability to conceptualize and give birth to new ideas and Tiferet which represents beauty, harmony and balance. 

Bergamot's uplifting, calming and anti-depressant properties are great for dispelling negativity. A 'happy' oil that can lift most people's mood. I often turn to this sweet florally citrus when I am blending for anxiety, depression and any stress-related disorders. Great in diffusers, misters, inhalers. NOTE: Only use Bergamot FCF grade should be used topically on the skin as the regular Bergamot is very phototoxic when applied to skin.

This year the Easter Season starts with Good Friday on April 18, followed by Easter Sunday on April 20 and rounded up with Easter Monday on April 21.While I do like to change up the blends I use around Easter, this Synergy is one that I often turn to as I find its rationale very meaningful.
