Do you believe that our thoughts can influence the material world? I do believe so, I believe our thoughts can influence our material world and our reality.
The concept that manifesting our reality through our thoughts (also known as the "law of attraction") can be traced back to ancient spiritual teachings including Hindu ideas, about the unity of your mind, body and the universe.
Manifestation is the act of setting intention in the belief and hope that it will happen and then watch it become reality.
We have the power to this incredible creative force and when we pair it up with the amazing Vibrational Essential Oils it becomes even more powerful!
The sense of smell is extremely powerful as it's often linked to powerful emotions and memories and experiences. Essential oils can help in the practise of manifestation as we envision our goals and all those things we want to bring into our life, into our material world.
Which Essential Oils Will Work for Me During Manifestation?
There is no right of wrong when it comes to choosing an essential oil for manifestation. However there are essential oils that are particularly helpful as you visualise your desires.
Some of my favourite essential Oils for Manifestation are these oils from Young Living: (Young Living is my choice of oils as they are pure and vibrational which I find makes them extremely powerful)
Envision, Abundance, Peace & Calming, Magnify Your Purpose, Believe, Transformation, Clary Sage, Vetiver.

Wanna learn about Chakras Essential Oils and Mindfulness?
Staying away from toxic chemicals and fragrances are important as the skin is the body’s largest organ and it absorbs what you put on it.
Making sure that you choose pure, and plant based essential oils is important. My choice of essential oil brand is Young Living as they have just that; pure and plant-based essential oils.
Here are some of my favourite essential oils for the skin and how I use them
Frankincense
I use Frankincense to moisturise my face. I have and spend lots of time in the sun and Frankincense is magic for this. I put a little bit of Frankincense in my natural moisturiser – it’s also so easy to make one yourself. Just because a product is costly, does not mean it’s better than something much more affordable. Even just using a little bit of jojoba or Coconut oil with Frankincense does miracles.
Lavender
Some of the favourite ways for me to use Lavender is to add it to a cleanser as it helps with reducing appearance of blemishes and it opens the pores. It also gives me that fresh morning boost.
Adding Lavender to a hot bath is my favourite way to relax.
Geranium
This is one of my favourite smells. I absolutely love it. I love making and using Facial Serums and it’s so easy to make. I just blend three tablespoons of jojoba oil and 10 drops of Geranium essential oil. This naturally fights dry, dull skin and it helps me feel and looking youthful.
Tea Tree
Facial steaming is incredible. Yes it may take a little longer time, so perhaps you want to do it on the weekend. I recommend that you heat four cups and pour it in a bowl with six drops of Tea Tree. Tea tree is soothing for the skin, and it opens up the pores. I find the skin becomes radiant, smoother and younger-looking.
Have you ever wondered what spiritual awakening mean? And do you think you are or have gone through an awakening process?
So firstly; how can spiritual awakening be described.. well, I would describe it as a call to higher consciousness and a deeper mental awareness. It is a process that brings about personal transformation and a shift in one's world view.
Going through a spiritual awakening can be one of the most confusing, lonely, scary but also a very beautiful experience in life.
So what causes a spiritual awakening?
For many it's brought on by a life changing event. such as a traumatic experience that has a huge impact on our physical and emotional wellbeing. This event is often followed by a long period of healing. It could be from example a traumatic experience such as significant surgery, surviving an accident or serious abuse. It could be brought on by major life changing events that has the potential to change the entire course of your life such as divorce, death of aloved one, a "plandemic" or a serious illness.
It can also be brought on by a Near Death Experience. Experiencing such a profound event can transforms one's outlook on life. It can be brought on by what we know as the an existential crisis - also known as the Dark Night of the soul. During an existential crisis, an individual begins to question the meaning and purpose of life.
We can also go through a natural awakening This is an involuntary process of awakening. It takes place after engaging in a practice that produces a shift in conscious awareness.
Practices that can activate a greater conscious awareness are:
Mindfulness, Meditation, Yoga, Connecting with nature or animals for example
So, Spiritual Awakening is different for everyone. Everyone's experience is unique although and what you may experience might be something like this..
You might start to feel disconnected from the world. You may develop an awareness of your ego and that it is separate from yourself and acknowledge that there is greater energy at work within this universe - something is larger than yourself.
I'd love to hear if you have or are going through a Spiritual Awakening and what you are experiencing. Please comment below.
It's easy to stay where we are comfortable but have you ever asked yourself if that is the best place to be?
You see there are many good reasons and benefits from stepping out of your comfort zone.
Here are just a 6 reasons and benefits of leaving your comfort zone
- It makes you grow and discover a sense of self - when learning new ways of doing something we have the opportunity to grow and develop a sense of self. We also get the experience different perspectives.
- It exercises your mind! By learning to do new things we are creating new pathways in our brain.
- You become more confident and brave. Once you understand the emotions that come with stepping outside your comfort zone, you become more confident. You understand the process and it becomes more familiar to you. As you trust yourself in leaving the comfort zone you will build yourself up and become brave.
- You personally grow. You will learn a new skill and that will benefit you in so many ways.
- It can change your life! It can open new doors to experiences and possibilities that otherwise may have never appeared.
- You can find a new hobby which you love. Are there any activities that you’ve always wanted to try, but for some reason, you never have? Your comfort zone may have caused you to not try the new activity.
I decided to leave my comfort zone a few years ago when I decided that I wanted to learn to paddle a Surfski in the ocean. I had never paddled before at all, and certainly not in the ocean.
Surf skis are not easy to balance in! That certainly made me leave my comfort zone. I had to learn a new skill which challenged me. I also had to leave my comfort zone by being in the ocean. My biggest fear used to be deep water and what's in the ocean! That was another big step for me. I am so glad I decided to leave my comfort zone and learn how to Surfski. It's given be so much! New skills, more confidence, new friendships, the opportunity to travel to new places, to see wildlife, to relax from everyday stresses and more.
Last week I contacted the Mooloolaba Paddling club to see if I could go paddling with someone there. I have now been out a couple of times with people there. I did not just get to meet more people - I also get to challenge myself more by paddling further out in the ocean (about 400 meters out) and in messy, windy conditions with pretty big swell. I feel proud of myself for challenging myself once again.
Why don't you take the "chance" to try something new - it might give you so many gifts.
Below is a little video from my paddling session.
