Reset & Recharge with Essential Oils

Essential Oils and Aromatherapy Rituals to Support Letting Go, Goal Setting & Fresh Starts in 2026!

The beginning of a new year brings a special kind of energy. It is a time for dreaming and reflecting. There is a feeling of resetting and recharging. When we pause for summer holidays, we have the space to reflect on the past year.

Essential oils such as Frankincense, Lavender, Clary Sage, Patchouli, and Chakra blends can support these reflective moments, helping you release tension and reconnect with your intentions.

• What are you proud of?
• Which projects are still in progress?
• Can you allocate time to breathe new life into an old passion?
• What would make you happy to pursue or let go of this year?

Whether you’re striving for health, learning, or balance, reflection guides your direction and purpose. Essential oils can support this process by helping you focus, relax, and energise.

How Essential Oils Support Your Goals

Essential oils can:

• Be energising and motivating
• Support the nervous system and bring mental clarity
• Encourage deep relaxation to recharge body and spirit

Whether you set SMART goals or focus on small 1% improvements, essential oils can boost your journey.

Letting Go

Have you wished that there were more hours in the day and more weeks in the year?  You would like to start a new project or take that weekly class but there are not enough hours in the day to get there?  Perhaps it is time to do a ‘life audit’.  Thinking about everything you do, is there something to let go of?  Perhaps you are committed to something that you do not enjoy anymore, maybe you need to say ‘no’ to events that don’t align with your interests?

Your Letting Go Ritual

Water is life giving and symbolises cleaning and clearing. Watch the incoming ocean tide bring objects to the shore and reshape the sand as the tide goes out.  We can include the element of water in a letting go ritual.  

In the bath

1. In a small amount of carrier oil add 6 to 8 drops of relaxing essential oil
2. Combine a cup full of Epsom salts with your oil blend and drop this mix into your warm bath.
3. Lay back for around 20 minutes allowing body aches and pains to melt in the warm water and let your cares drift off in a cloud of aromatic steam.

Foot bath

1. Pick a comfy chair and place a towel on the floor in front of it.
2. Place your foot bath filled with warm water on the towel
3. Add up to 3 drops of essential oil to your footbath.
4. Focus on your thoughts, take a few deep breaths allowing the essential oils to work their calming magic. Imagine everything washing away into the water. When you are finished tip the water away with gratitude.

Kitchen Sink

Even an everyday task like doing the dishes can become a space for inner work.  As you wash your dishes consider areas of life that might need to be reset, cleaned up or cleared out.

*Bonus Tip: Now is the perfect time to commit to a healthier lifestyle that is kinder to the environment. We can start in the kitchen. Switch your commercial dishwashing detergent to a more environmentally safe product. Experiment with making your own dishwashing detergent and cleaning agents.

Goal Getters

If you have carved out some space in your diary that might be all you need to do.  An intention of living life a bit slower might be just what you need this year.  But for those of you who would like to start a new project, let’s look at essential oils to help with that.

Hill Climb Roller Blend

You have done the preparation work and you know what your goals are. Taking each single step to reach your goal is like climbing a mountain. Let each step fill you with inspiration as you work towards your destination.
