Enhancing Mindfulness and Meditation with Handmade Aromatherapy

For busy mums, finding moments of tranquillity in the midst of a hectic schedule is vital. One powerful way to deepen your mindfulness and meditation practice is by integrating handmade aromatherapy products, like scented candles or essential oil blends. Here's how you can do it:

1. Setting the Scene for Meditation: Create a serene space where you can meditate without interruptions. In this space, include a handmade candle or an essential oil diffuser. The act of lighting a candle or setting up the diffuser signals your brain that it's time to transition into a peaceful state.

2. Choosing the Right Scents: Different scents have various effects on our mood and mental state. For relaxation and stress relief, lavender and chamomile are excellent choices. If you need a mental uplift, consider citrus or peppermint. Handmade products often offer unique and complex scents, providing a more personalized experience.

3. Mindful Engagement with Scents: As you begin your meditation, take a moment to focus on the aroma. Notice how it fills the room and how it makes you feel. This practice of mindful observation helps anchor you in the present moment, enhancing the meditation experience.

4. Deepening Relaxation: Allow the scent to be a guide as you delve deeper into relaxation. As you focus on your breathing, imagine the calming scents as a gentle wave washing over you, releasing tension and bringing a sense of peace.

5. Post-Meditation Practice: After your meditation, take a few minutes to sit in the lingering fragrance. This helps in transitioning gently back to your daily activities, carrying the calmness and clarity from your meditation with you.

Integrating handmade aromatherapy products into your meditation routine is not just about adding a pleasant fragrance; it's about creating a multisensory experience that enhances your mental and emotional well-being. This simple practice can be a luxurious and therapeutic addition to your self-care routine, making each meditation session a special retreat in your day.

Welcome To Mel's Little Luxuries

Posted on February 02, 2023 by Melanie Brown

I recently started a YouTube Channel.

This is a little unusual for me as I am a huge technophobe and would rather be making soap and all things that smell nice.

I made the decision to create the channel as I wanted people to learn about the person behind Mel's Little Luxuries, the business and most importantly, how I can help them. 

I will also be blending in bits of self care because it's so important for you to prioritise your needs. There are times when we become so absorbed with helping others that we forget to help ourselves first. We become resentful when we start running on empty. We feel obliged in helping others first, (people pleasing), because we are frightened of what people will think of us, when we start saying "no". We have to learn to set boundaries. It all boils down to that old adage of, putting the oxygen mask on yourself first.

I've attached the YouTube video, so take a look and please remember to subscribe.
