Spring Meadow Aura Mist from Pacific Northwest Essences is like being transported into a secret garden, full of wonder and the possibility of wishes coming true. Spring Meadow is scented with the freshest French Lavender that I haven’t smelled in years, as well as Yarrow essential oil, which is an absolutely dreamy combination π.
This particular Aura Mist has a blend of flower essences carefully chosen to emit the soothing, mentally clearing feelings one experiences while at peace within nature. As soon as I sprayed Spring Meadow for the first time, I immediately felt like I had taken in a breathe of fresh air after a long period of feeling stifled & suffocated, even. The lift was immediate as it pulled me out of my depressed state with the simple reminder that there is so much beauty left in the world…. Beauty that I am still very much capable of experiencing. And, sometimes, all we need is a little reminder that we are capable of experiencing joy; after all that we’ve been through, we can always move forward.
πΏWhen a person gets depressed, we begin to feel disconnected from all things & people that used to bring us joy. After a while, we begin to wonder if we’ll ever be able to get back to that place, to that source of our strength. This Aura Mist is like a walk through the forest, each spritzΒ unveiling more and more clarity amongst the mist of negativity in one’s mind.
As I continued to use this Aura Mist, with each spray of Spring Meadow, I instantly felt calmer… As if I’ve done a series of deep breathing exercises and/or meditated for a good 15 minute stretch.. In fact, sometimes meditating dredges up harsh feelings, so this Spring Meadow Mist is actually more of an instantaneous calming sensation, so I feel that this blend would be wonderful for panic attacks, generalized anxiety, and social phobia. It’s also great for stress and tension, in general, because whenever I feel myself losing it during a power struggle with my toddler/soon-to-be preschooler, I always have this mist with me to help me keep my cool and stay centered so that my son won’t feed off any negative reaction he may get from me when I’m breaking down.
I don’t know if it’s the magical combination of essential oils and their aromatherapeautic properties, combined with the energy shifting abilities of the flower essences, but it literally produces this immediate feeling of relaxation for me. I’ve tested this for months at varying levels of stress/tension/anxiety (although, due to raising a soon-to-be preschooler with special needs, I’m battling stress & overwhelmed feelings most of the time to some degree every single day π ). So, believe me when I say, I’ve tried MANY things (both natural, non-natural, prescription – based, & everything in between π) to address chronic anxiety and hands down, flower essences have had the most pronounced effect on me long-term.
The big difference here is that flower essences aren’t masking the anxiety, the same way a drug like a benzodiazapine (ie: Xanax or Klonopin) would. Instead, flower essences allow me to be better able to shift my perception of the world around me, so that trying events don’t feel as overwhelming & I feel more centered and able to focus on how to best handle the situation (rather than feeling consumed by the situation at hand). This is the core of anxiety and the best way to address it- modifying our reaction to events by restructuring our thoughts & promoting proactive, positive changes in behavior. This can be much easier said than done, though, I feel you! π So, this is where developing coping skills that work for YOU are key. This Aura Mist can be one of many useful resources in your “toolkit” of coping skills. Each day is a new day… Even if we have some setbacks or had a bad day, it’s helpful to remember to start fresh with renewed hope, each morning.
