Many firmly believe we have more in common than what may divide us.
Do you believe that?
We went to Google and searched “5 Things all humans have in common.”
This is what our search shared:
- Basic Survival needs
- Emotional Experiences
- Capacity for Learning and Growth
- Social Interactions
- Mortality
We decided that the topic for this month’s blog would be centered around Grief and Grief Support. We also believe this is one of the things we all have in common. Everyone, at some point, will experience grief. Agree?
It didn’t make the list labeled as Grief; however, it sure made the list in our minds within 3 of the 5 items.
Emotional Experience
Social Interactions
Mortality
Going one step further grief sure comes with a learning curve and growth curve when you work to process it and heal from it. So “Capacity for Learning and Growth” does include grief.
Grief also can cause us to dig in deep and tap into our basic needs for survival, surviving beyond the loss. Now that covers “Basic Survival Needs”.
Grief sure comes at us in a variety of ways. Loss of loved ones, a pet, a job. Failing a test, or an interview. Loss of a house, moving and changing neighborhoods all of these can bring upon a sense of loss (grief).
How does one go about healing from grief? It’s a process, isn’t it?
Have you ever been on our site and seen the Ataraxis blend? This blend is found in over 10 different products we carry.
Why is this blend available in so many options? We created this blend specifically for grief and the healing of grief. This blend was designed to aid you in healing your way thru the various stages of grief, to lift your spirits, ground your body, open your heart and calm your mind.
This blend is a combination of neroli, rose, cypress, palo santo and frankincense essential oils.
In some of our previous blogs we have covered many of these oils and their origin and benefits. Let’s look at two of these properties in this blog.
Neroli – is extracted from the flowers of bitter orange trees. It has a rich, floral scent with a citrusy overtone. Can you just imagine this scent in your mind? Orange is such a welcomed aroma for so many reasons.
This oil is known for its capabilities in lifting moods, calming and relaxing us which aids in stress and anxiety reduction. This oil has had some results with insomnia because of the relaxing properties. You can see why we made sure this oil and blend was part of the Ataraxis Blend.
Palo Santo is from a tree native to South America. It is found in countries such as Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, Guatemala and Mexico.
This oil is said to treat stress and clear negative energy. Many use this oil when doing yoga and or meditating. Many of us when we think of nature think of being grounded and grounding with nature, right? This oil being from a tree brings that thought process and feeling with it. The grounding, peaceful feeling can be so important when dealing with grief and the healing from a loss.
It is important to get and feel supported through your grief journey. We hope this Ataraxis Blend may help you and or someone you know navigating grief.
