Too often people write off break-ups as just another page to turn in the
book of life. There is some truth in that, but break-ups should be taken
a bit more seriously. After all, this is the end of a relationship. And
this loss can be as painful as losing a loved one in death. To heal it
takes time, self-care, and conscious processing of your emotions. It is
vital that you allow this healing process to occur, and take advantage
of the situation to treat yourself with gentleness and nurturing.
Here are some other things to keep in mind during this transformative
time:
· Avoid any big decisions.
· Go into the pain and the feelings. There is no way out
but
to get through it...and you will!
· Take long aromatherapy baths with appropriate holistic
blends. See recipes below.
· Cry when you need to. Don't let others tell you to just
get over it.
· Be VERY selfish.
· Surround yourself with positive and happy people.
· Dare to ask for a lot of hugs.
· Get a dog or cat, or cuddle with the ones you have.
· Write really awful, bitchy, letters to your ex. Write
everything you would love to say. Burn them in
the sink.
Run the water to make it go away.
· Love yourself. Look in the mirror as often as you can
and
say wonderful things about yourself aloud.
· Write your way through the feelings.
· Connect with other people who understand and can relate:
friends, counselors, message boards on
websites, etc.
· Have a healthy lifestyle: eat well, exercise (at least
get
some fresh air on the beach, at the park,
etc.).
· Nourish your soul with beauty: watch movies, read
poetry,
go to museums.
· Meditate.
· Stay alone and appreciate the tranquility of your
aloneness.
There's no rule for how long the pain of a heartbreak will last. It may
take weeks, months or even years. But using the following special
aromatherapy blend and ritual will soothe your heart, nurture your
wounded soul, and envelop you in comfort. I recommend following this
bath ritual every night until you feel the pain has faded.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your Daily Bath Ritual to Ease Your Broken Heart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Prepare your aromatherapy blend by adding the following essential oils
to a 10-oz bottle and filling with organic vegetable oil:
· 4 drops Rose Essential Oil
· 15 drops Sandalwood Oil
· 9 drops Lavender Oil
---------------------
Order what you need to create the blend yourself:

---------------------
Run some warm water for your bath and add 10 drops of your aromatic
blend. Light some candles and turn off the lights. Close your eyes and
place your hands on your heart. Visualize yourself filled and surrounded
by a pink color. Take a few deep breaths. Feel the color soothing your
being. Say aloud, "I am love myself." Take a few deep breaths
again. Soak for at least 15 minutes.
After you get out of the bath, pour a few drops of the aromatherapy
blend into the palms of your hands and anoint your heart chakra (the
seat of love: healing, grieving, acceptance),
and the third eye (integrating, detachment, connection with your Higher
Self).
In Good Health,
