Blending Bespokes

Oftentimes with the awakening of new seasons comes the awakening of all our senses. The smell of freshly cut grass, the spray of the ocean; of the leaves as they crunch beneath our feet in the Fall. In Winter, the smell of the clean sharp air as the snow falls around.

Intuitively, we feel these energies as they play within the natural meridian lines of our bodies. Smell in particular dives deep into the brain. It enters through our noses often on chemicals known as esters:

Neryl acetate, for example, is a component of an essential oil known as Helichrysum or Immortelle which is used in skin care to heal wrinkles, aging and scars. It is one of the most powerful, expensive and sought after essential oils in the world.

It is used in very high end facial oils and treatments.

Because these molecules enter our olfactory glands and dive deep into our brains, the enter a region known as the "reptilian brain" which exists in all our brains. It is the most ancient and most primordial part of the brain. Other parts of the brain developed later in our evolution. This part of the brain is what gives us access to deeply held memories: like the smell of baby powder that reminds us of our mothers; or the smell of lilac, or a rose, which instantly transports us to another place and time.

These molecules also cross what scientists refer to as the "blood-brain" barrier which means that they also can cause real changes in our bodies: how we feel emotionally; they can effect whether we're awake and sharp like rosemary; or sleepy and tired like valerian. They also can effect our moods, whether we're happy or sad which is one of the beautiful effects of pink grapefruit.

Many of the wisdom teachers through the ages have used scents and their power to achieve results of which only the most advanced of their students were either sharp enough to perceive or advanced enough that the inner secrets of the temples throughout the world were shared with them.

Here is a powerful New Moon blend for using during the Cazimi of the New Moon which is the exact time of the New Moon - twenty minutes before and after the precise time of the New Moon. A secret handed down to us by the Ancient Chaldeans.

Here is a beautiful recipe for you to enjoy during your next New Moon Meditation:
