Custom-blended Essential Oils
posted 2.11.2010
One of the things I enjoy most about my work are the essential oils. In no small part because of the altering aromas and powerful healing traits that add tremendous depth and dimension to each session. But it doesn’t stop there. I absolutely relish the challenge and joy of blending oils on-the-spot to support the wide variation of experiences that I have the honor of witnessing, every single day.
Having worked for years with this intuitive process of blending oils for my clients – in the moment – I am now inspired to offer these custom blends to you, for use beyond our sessions together.
During private sessions, I am always listening to the voice of the body, responding to its current needs with a custom blend of essential oils. These blends sometimes target physical needs – a sluggish lymph system or mis-aligned vertebra – sometimes emotional and energetic needs – a closed heart, pent-up anger, or stagnation of energy in one location. Each choice and application of oil that I make is infused with conscious intention, designed to augment the already-powerful physical properties of the oils.
These therapeutic and intentional components of essential oil application invite the body and brain to make direct associations with each blend. For example, if we release intense fear and pain that is held in the neck with a specific oil blend, your brain will associate that healing response with the aroma and therapeutic properties of the chosen oil(s). I have found that, when a client uses that same blend on a daily basis, their healing and transformation are amplified because of this association.
I would love to assist you in the creation of an essential oil blend that is most supportive to you. Contact me for an essential oil consultation or to schedule a 90-minute private session that includes individualized essential oil therapy.
BodyMantra Location Change
posted 1.30.2010
After much diligent work by many of our community members – thank you! – we have found new landing places that will allow us to continue moving together when February arrives. « Details
The decision was made to shift from Saturday to Sunday mornings for our weekend practice, as there were no large venues in town that could accommodate us on a regular basis on Saturdays. All punch cards will be useable at both locations.
Things to know as we transition:
- Punch cards will still be available and usable at either location – cash and checks are preferred, though we will accept credit cards
- After the first week of settling into our new places, doors will now close 10 minutes after class start time; please honor that this is a grace period for unexpected delays and that classes will start on time
- When you come to your first class at one of these locations, please come early, as there are new logistics (release form, new sign-in process) that need to be attended to
- Please continue to honor that we hold the studio space where we dance together as sacred; social discussion should remain outside of the room
We will continue to meet as a community to discuss a more permanent, dedicated space for the BodyMantra community. The outpouring of support and inspiration since the announcement of Core Movement’s closing has made it clear that the time is now for us to create a new, devotional space, together. You can learn about upcoming meetings and developments on the BodyMantra website.
I am hopeful that all of you can join us as much as (or more than!) you do now as we make these transitions.
With love & a moving heart,
Kimberly
