Blending Notes

I encourage you to keep open and playful when you are ready to transform energy with essential oils. Don’t be afraid to blend across plant parts and don’t feel you have to either. Following are suggestions for working with the oils.

• You don’t have to blend essential oils: working with ONE oil is enough. One oil is powerful.
• Keep it simple if blending: 3 to 5 oils (7 MAX. This is not perfumery). Otherwise the intention and molecules become diluted and muddied.
• Blend as if you are cooking: do the oils support each other? Do they smell good together? Similarly with cooking, 3 flavors may deeply enhance a meal. 10 flavors may conflict and not gel…

Example: Over-thinking, Not Manifesting

What would one do for someone who thinks and thinks but doesn’t put ideas into action? Support clarity with a wood, get creative juices flowing with a seed or two. The heart of the blend would be a root oil.

Example: Hyper Expression/Excessive Talking

Support the solar plexus (confidence) and heart. Consider a wood oil (clarity) if needing to reign-in scattered energy and (or) a root oil if coming out of a place of neglect and insecurity.

Example: Finding it Hard to Express Ideas

Support the throat chakra. If the ideas are there, leaves may be all that are needed. Writers block? Support the Crown, Sacra and Solar.
