Having received my undergraduate degree in the subject, I often find myself in a rabbit hole focused on words, their usage, their meanings, and their authors. Recently I went on a search for the use of lavender in literature to see how playwrights and poets have talked about the flower in their works. I discovered a quote from the play, ‘A Beggar on Horseback’, written by John O’Keefe in 1798. Full disclosure, I’ve never seen or read the play. I only saw this one excerpt out of context that resonated with me. 

‘My dear, have some lavender, or you'd best have a thimble full of wine, your spirits are quite down, my sweeting', O’Keefe writes.

Rituals serve as a bridge between our outer and inner worlds, between the profane and the sacred, and between the ordinary and the extraordinary. Ritual provides an anchor in life’s messy storm. It brings ancient and mysterious knowingness of the true nature of our being-ness, our tribal-ness, our me-ness. Ritual after all is defined as a religious or solemn ceremony consisting of a series of actions performed according to a prescribed order. 

There are many types of rituals in which essential oils and aromatherapy can become an anchor or tool in your day and life and provide relief, focus and possibility. When I began to use aromatherapy in my daily life I found that these moments with myself provided incredible relief, focus and innumerable benefits.

From this experience ADORAtherapy created two major concepts that have become our “Raison d’etre”, our reason for being: “Scent with Intent” and “Adore Yourself!”

Woman are well acquainted with their mood swings. But did you know men have moods too? They feel everything, happiness, pain, anger and every single emotion you feel. Some of these mood swings can be hormonal, just like yours. But not all moods are emotional. Moods can be the result of energetic blocks. When you hold in your emotions they demand to be released. When you block this release this energy goes somewhere and can cause internal issues like lack of sleep, irritability, aches and pains, but also external releases like screaming, or the opposite, withholding and withdrawal.
