Hey, all of my ‘Moment of Essence’ readers, it’s been a busy few months with illnesses, work related injury, seven birthdays and a holiday in the mix! 

So let’s take you back to 8^th March: International Women’s Day.  As mentioned we had a ‘Feel Good Day’ at the Complementary Therapy Centre situated in the Nurtured by Nature Shop in south Street, Wellington.  It was a lovely high energy day with multiple talks, taster treatments and herbal tea tasting.  We had lots of beautiful souls enter with conversations flowing over what is available within the treatment centre.  I, myself, spoke about Crystal Healing and how it can be used to aid you through everyday life.  Four people booked for my ‘I Have A Crystal For That’ Workshop on the day.  I did taster treatments on five lovely clients and all in all it was a perfect day.

As Customers/Clients left, they were given a little bag with lovely goodies inside:  a £5 off Voucher for any treatment, a beautiful beeswax candle and a herbal tea bag perfect for a thirty minute ‘Moment of Essence’ to light the candle, reflect and focus on intentions.

How to incorporate the candle and herbal tea in a little ‘moment of essence’ at home?  First of all, find a free half an hour that you know will be peaceful without any disturbances.  Turn off your phone or put it on silent and prepare to call a temporary time out on the world outside.  Put the kettle on, find your favourite mug or cup, place the herbal tea bag in the cup, and get everything ready.  Find a spot where you like to reflect and are comfortable to sit and light the candle whilst the kettle is boiling.  Once boiled pour into the cup and stir.  Take your cup to your favourite spot next to the candle.  Watch the flame as you inhale the aromatic herbal tea, then exhale while reflecting for a moment.  Bring the herbal tea to your lips and take a sip.  Slowly repeat the process until the herbal tea is finished or the candle has stopped burning.  Simply enjoy the process, the quiet and allowing your senses to take over.  This is a beautiful and simple practice that really brings a ‘Moment of Essence’.
