June is dedicated to Brain Health, emphasizing the profound connection between our minds and the universe. Maintaining brain health is essential for our intuition, alignment, and universal connection. Today we will explore the importance of managing stress. Effective stress management techniques are vital for maintaining mental clarity and overall well-being, helping us stay connected to our inner selves and the world around us.
Managing Stress for Brain Health
Managing stress is crucial for maintaining a clear and healthy mind. Techniques like yoga, guided meditation, and deep-breathing exercises, along with adaptogenic herbs and essential oil blends, support cognitive function and help reduce stress. Lowering cortisol levels enhances brain function, promoting a stronger connection to the universe. For women, this connection means accessing a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us, empowering us to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and inner peace. When we manage stress effectively, we make intuitive decisions and feel more in tune with our life's purpose.
We've shared many of our favorite allies and practices for stress previously and we're excited to share the latest offering in our stress management toolbox.

Ritual for Self-Care: Aromatherapy for Stress Relief
Aromatherapy is a powerful tool for managing stress and enhancing mental clarity. It uses the natural scents of essential oils to promote physical and emotional well-being. Here’s an aromatherapy ritual to immerse you in a world of calm and clarity, inspired by nature and enhanced by essential oils.
Experiencing Aromatherapy in Nature:
- Visit a Lavender Farm: Spend a day at a lavender farm and immerse yourself in the calming scent of fresh lavender. This experience can help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. Lavender is known for its soothing properties and can help improve sleep quality.
- Forest Bathing: Take a walk in the forest and breathe in the natural scents of cedar and pine. These trees release phytoncides, which are natural oils that have been shown to reduce stress and boost mood. The fresh, woody aroma can ground you and connect you to the earth, providing a sense of peace and clarity.
Incorporating Aromatherapy at Home:
- Choose Your Oils: Select essential oils that mimic the scents you experienced in nature. Lavender, eucalyptus, and lemongrass essential oils are excellent choices for stress relief and mental clarity.
- Create a Calming Space: Find a quiet, comfortable space in your home where you can relax without interruptions.
- Diffuse the Oils: Add a few drops of your chosen essential oil to a diffuser. If you don't have a diffuser, you can add the oils to a bowl of hot water and inhale the steam. Alternatively, apply diluted essential oils to your wrists and temples.
- Practice Deep Breathing: Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and take slow, deep breaths. Inhale the calming scent of the essential oils, and exhale any tension or stress.
- Set an Intention: As you breathe deeply, set an intention for your day or meditation. Focus on feelings of calm, clarity, and connection to the universe.
Additional Tips for Aromatherapy:
- Lavender: Use lavender essential oil in your bedroom to promote restful sleep. You can sprinkle a few drops on your pillow or use a lavender-scented spray.
- Eucalyptus: Add a few drops of eucalyptus oil to your bath for a refreshing and relaxing experience.
- Lemongrass: Use lemongrass essential oil in your living space to create a refreshing and invigorating atmosphere.
By incorporating these aromatherapy practices into your daily routine, you can create a sanctuary of peace and clarity within your mind, reducing stress and enhancing your mental well-being.
