The Gift of Nature

Nature never ceases to amaze me. It offers us a wealth of information; recipes, health benefits, beauty aids etc. There is plenty to learn and appreciate about the gifts of nature.

Symbolic Ties

We can personalise seasonal patterns and behaviours by reflecting upon natures symbolic meanings to find comfort from our own perspectives. For example, when you face difficulty it may seem unbearable, but once you take a moment to look outside of yourself, nature proves that things can get better with time and rebirth is often essential. I believe that the same way nature adapts against the odds, we too can do the same.

It also amazes me, how cultures relate to nature symbolically. With Feng Shui, for instance, flowers are thought to hold energy and protect. In Florology, however, flowers express messages between people.

The Gift Of Aromatherapy

The oils are extracted through different methods to produce precious oils. These gifts are called essential oils, they are used to promote positive physiological and emotional well being.

You can use these precious oils at home by putting a few drops into your bath, mixing the essential oils with a carrier oil to apply the mix topically or you can simply use a diffuser to radiate your home with the flow of aromas.

Contrary to belief, aromatherapy and holistic health are not in conflict with modern day medicine but instead are used as a complementary approach that aims to benefit the mind, body and soul.

The Beauty Of Parks

Nature is therapeutic and soothing to the mind, we often lose sight of how important this is. A walk in the park rewards the body, mind and soul in its own unique way by triggering our physical senses.

Natures Gifts

We heavily rely on nature for food, raw materials, and medicines, as do the animals we co-exist with. This is why it is so important to not turn a blind eye to our deep relationship with nature. At the very least, please take time to appreciate these gifts.

Comforting Ambience

Comforting Ambience Creating an ambience at work and at home can be a simple way to uplift you and invite peace and comfort into your personal space. Having a serene work space is important for your productivity and mental well-being. Flowers can be a simple and effective addition to creating a calm work environment. They can add colour and aroma to your surroundings and provide an often needed element of nature. If purchasing real flowers seem too costly, you have the option of buying beautiful synthetic replicates that look and feel like fresh flowers. Personally, my favourite tip is to make sure that your work environment is kept clean and tidy. Taking pride in sustaining a presentable work space helps with maintaining mental clarity and is a visual reflection of your professional standards. Creating an ambience at home promotes relaxation, peace, and balance, which in turn gives you a space yourself and others can enjoy...

Pregnancy Loss

I would like to start off by saying that I am so sorry for anyone who has experienced a pregnancy loss. Pregnancy takes you on a journey through different stages month to month and even before seeing your baby, you start to sense and feel changes in your body as it works hard to nurture the babies development.
