Taylor Made Holistics

If you’d like more information on how to use essential oils safely at home, book a treatment or have a particular ailment you would like a blend for please drop Claire an email taylormadeholistics@gmail.com.
*Remember essential oils are highly concentrated & recommended dosage should never be exceeded. Always follow the safety information & never take internally. Treat as medicines and keep out of reach of children*.

Neroli (Orange Blossom) - Citrus Aurantium Amara
Rutaceae Family

Neroli

Discovered in the 1600’s it was said to be named after Anne-Marie, Princess of Neroli in Italy who loved to wear it as a perfume. It is thought the Roman God Jupiter gave an orange to his sister Juno when he married her and brides have carried the blossom ever since to calm nerves.
Properties:
Neroli is a relaxing, calming & uplifting oil which blends well with Chamomile, Geranium, Clary Sage, Jasmine, Lavender, Rose, Ylang Ylang, Lemon and other citrus oils. It is an anti-depressant, antiseptic anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic.
Mental Health Benefits
Neroli is useful for treating anxiety, depression, insomnia, shock, and stress-related conditions.
How to use:
Mix with a carrier oil such as grapeseed for massage (1 ml of Neroli oil to 2 mls of carrier oil based on a healthy adult.)
Add 5-10 drops to a full bath and agitate well, the oil can be dissolved first in a teaspoon of bubble bath, carrier oil or full-fat milk.
Add to a diffuser or oil burner. Alternatively, add a few drops to a small bowl of water and place on a radiator or pop a few drops on a tissue.
Diffuser recipe to treat shock
Combine a blend of Neroli, Peppermint & Benzoin in a diffuser. The number of drops will depend on the size of the room so start with less (I’d suggest 2 drops of each oil to begin then add more if required)
Physical Health Benefits
Neroli can be used in skin care to treat scars, stretch marks, thread veins, mature and sensitive skin, wrinkles and to tone the complexion. It can also improve poor circulation, help to ease palpitations and help to treat digestive system disorders such as flatulence, nervous dyspepsia, and spasms.
How to use:
Use in massage or a bath as per guidelines above. For skin conditions, oil can also be added to a plain skin lotion for topical use.
Spiritual Benefits
Use to anoint and balance the heart chakra.

**Remember essential oils are highly concentrated & recommended dosage should never be exceeded. Always follow safety information and never take internally. Treat as medicines and keep out of reach of children**
To Anoint and Balance the Chakras
Perform a simple ritual. Switch off phones, light a candle and settle into a comfortable position. Place a drop of essential oil appropriate to your needs on your wrists and another over the Chakra that you wish to balance.
Relax and breathe slowly and deeply focusing all your attention on that chakra. Visualise the essence of the oil entering the chakra where a tiny flower bud rests. As the essence of the oil touches the flower bud it begins to open becoming a beautiful blossom.

Mel's Weekly Challenge
So this week, here I am sitting at my laptop trying to think about what to write for this week’s article. As I’m keying in the words, I still have no clue. It’s quite late just now, and I’ve had a fairly good week. But I have been racking my brains all evening thinking and wondering what to write, so I’m going to try and experiment with you – free/random writing. I heard about it a while ago as an aide for writer's block (no, I’m not a writer) but I wanted to see if it worked.
As I’m typing in my thoughts I’m feeling things beginning to flow. It's quite amazing really! I was putting it off and putting it off because I had no plan.
No idea, and no clue.
I guess it’s like a lot of things in life – we procrastinate because we don’t really know the plan, the method, and the route, but to get to our destination we have to take a step (or in this case type in the first sentence!) and trust that the Goddess will open the dam so that the water of creativity can flow through us.
It's quite bizarre because I haven’t tried this method before, but it’s proof that if we can take one step – then we are one step closer to the desired result!
So this week, my challenge to you is to consider what it is that you have been putting off doing, or shying away from taking that first step, and I challenge you to take that one step forward and see what flows!
The fact that there actually IS an article this week shows that at least, for me, it works! With love and light and a universe of blessings. Mel, xxx

Sandras Smiles
Your Weekly Horoscope from Soraya
30 June -  06 July 2019
Aries
Thankfully this week will be much better for you than last week was Aries. Venus is in a strong position in your chart and you may find that you benefit financially and socially. There is a minor blip when the Moon squares up to Jupiter, but it won’t last long.
Taurus
Venus and Uranus in your chart, though weak, may cause associates or colleagues to become your enemies rather than your friends at this time, therefore, be on your guard and avoid making personal relationships. Trust your instincts.
Gemini
A combination of planets moving through your chart will stimulate various experiences some of which will be exciting others more emotional but Neptune takes the prize for adding confusion to the mix.
Cancer
This week may begin on a high note with the Moon and Venus in your chart however things may fall apart later in the week and an unfortunate influence may bring about various unwanted and non-beneficial changes.
Leo
Favourable planetary influences bless your chart making this a very successful period and improving your feelings and emotions. This will also benefit those close to you as they reap the rewards of your improved mood.


Virgo

Well Virgo, if you expected to be sitting about relaxing and perusing things in general, forget it, it’s not happening. The planets have other ideas and you may be running about like a mad march hare.
Libra
Your domestic surroundings are likely to be peaceful and harmonious and the current influence generally tends to bring opportunities for improving your surroundings and environment. This will be a good time for all affairs of the heart and matters of the greatest personal interest.
Scorpio
The Moon and Neptune creep into your chart. Some will notice and others won’t. Those that notice will respond to new circumstances and take advantage. A new psychic influence may be apparent.
Sagittarius
While the Moon admires its own reflection it will bestow a fortunate influence that should bring some changes to your routine and recognition for past efforts may be recognised and rewarded. Perhaps it’s time for you to organise a short break.

Capricorn
Oh dear Capricorn – Quick, where’s the bucket, when you find it stick your head under it and hope that no one sees you while the Moon squares up to Neptune. Don’t trust anyone or anything at this time.
Aquarius
 The Moon enters your 7th House this week Aquarius and your focus will be is on relationships or partnerships and at this time, take on a greater significance. Be as aware as possible about your expectations of the other, and your need for balance, and harmony.
Pisces
If you Pisces can get past the 2nd without some ailment or other then you can look forward to a better week and some form of progress socially, professionally, or intellectually. This will be a good time for affairs of the heart.

I'm leaving the morning Ritual here for new members and as a reminder that if you remember the Goddess in your life She will remember you.
The Morning Ritual
Stand in front of a window and take a deep purifying in breath and visualise that you are breathing in sparkling light energy. Raise your hands high above your head and then clasp your hands together in the prayer position. Draw your hands down in front of your face, still clasped, down past your heart and then separate your hands and spread them as far apart as you can to each side. Visualise all your chakra points being activated and say the following prayer as you do so.
 
You who are the source of all power and good
Please show me what I need to know when I need to know it
Help me to listen with understanding and speak with wisdom
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
And the wisdom to change the things  I can change.
Please show me what I need to know so that I may understand.
The world is an abundant place and
I am grateful for those gifts I have already been given
And I am open and ready to receive
those gifts that are waiting to come to me
 
Visualise a purple cloak of protection being placed on your shoulders and draw your hands across your chest as though you are drawing the cloak over you.
You are now ready to begin your day and you can use this ritual at any time especially if you feel insecure anxious or worried.
