What self care rituals do you resonate with the most?

I swear by lots of self-care rituals. Meditation, exercise and nature walks form part of my physical and spiritual rituals. Journaling, positive affirmations and teaching form part of my emotional and psychological rituals. Adding aromatherapy to these rituals can aid with relaxation or feeling uplifted.

Speaking of your experience, why do you think Aromatherapy plays a role in good self-care habits?

I find scent often transports me to different times and memories. Having that sensory experience can be very powerful. Certain scents I find very uplifting, whilst other scents help to keep me calm and grounded. Having access to aromatherapy for these reasons is helpful for daily life.

How do Auric Alchemy products help you create an ideal environment for self-care rituals?

The self-care rituals I love from Auric Alchemy are The Bath Soak, The Nourish Oil and the Zen Mist. I find these three products give me a beautiful self-care Sunday.
