We based our meditation around being in Oz-like protective bubbles and domes, and reframing our birth experience so that an easy, graceful, joyful birth = easy, graceful, joyful life!
After looking in our books (where we found beautiful pictues of geraniums, and a couple of fun tidbits for each oil), we each read aloud a line or 2 about geranium. It is a great one for skin and hair, so many people have added it to their lotions & toners, shampoos & conditioners, or made their own.
We saw a video each about sourcing Lemongrass in India, and Vetiver in Haiti.
Lemongrass, with its citrol content, is a great insect repellent. It can also soothe aches & pains, and help the digestive system.
Can you remember which fact below matches which oil video? (See if I remembered any incorrectly, or if you could add other factoids!)
- It takes 5 men 15 days to harvest enough material for one gallon of this essential oil.
- People here would walk 3 miles to get 1 gallon of water (unsafe for drinking).
- It takes 5-7 days to harvest a 100-acre farm.
- Rains make it grow faster.
- It can be harvested every 60 days.
- There was a farmer's cooperative meeting together.
- It is carried down off the mountain on their heads.
I hope to hear from you!
Have a great Spring Break!
