Divine Reiki’s Guide to Self-Love

For those that haven’t read the original post on our sister site – Divine Reiki Studio – we have included a taster, below. The accreditation and accompanying link to the full article can be found at the bottom of this post. Happy reading…

Let’s start by distinguishing self-love from vanity. Vanity is characterised by excessive pride in one’s appearance or abilities, often at the expense of others. Self-love, on the other hand, is about recognising your worth and treating yourself with kindness and compassion. It doesn’t mean you consider yourself superior to others; instead, it suggests that you acknowledge your innate value and your right to happiness and well-being.

So… practising self-love isn’t vain; it’s a vital aspect of self-care and personal growth that can lead to a happier, more fulfilling, and mentally healthy life.

Below are some techniques that I find extremely beneficial…

  1. Exercise self-compassion: Treat yourself with kindness and understanding, especially during difficult times. Be gentle with yourself and avoid self-criticism.
  2. Identify and challenge inner negativity: Recognise negative thoughts about yourself and challenge them. Replace self-criticism with self-affirming and positive statements.
  3. Practice self-care: Prioritise activities that nurture your physical, emotional, and mental well-being, such as exercise, meditation, spending time in nature, reading, or engaging in hobbies you enjoy.

Violet Miron

Once the all-natural ingredients used in our oils reach maturity, continued exposure to sunlight can accelerate the process of molecular decay.

The unique characteristics of our Violet Miron glass bottles filter out the more damaging rays of the visible light spectrum while allowing small amounts of UVA and infrared light waves in, keeping our essential oils fresher for longer.

Did you know… The colour violet, a combination of red and blue (Yin and Yang), represents universal balance and harmony. 

They must be diluted before being used on the skin. To dilute them safely please refer to our blending guidelines here… Essential oils are not suitable for topical application during pregnancy.

Essential oils can cause sensitisation to the skin. Always use any essential oils with care. Discontinue use immediately if a rash occurs. If you suffer from sensitive skin, please perform a patch test before applying to larger area.

Do not dispose of essential oils down the drain. Undiluted essential oils can be toxic to aquatic organisms and may cause long term adverse effects to the aquatic environment.

Eternal Sunshine’s essential oil and blends should never be taken internally. Keep essential oils away from sensitive areas, like the eyes. Should any essential oil come in to contact with the eyes, wash thoroughly with cold water and seek medical advice if required.

Ensure essential oils are kept out of the reach of children! If a child accidentally swallows any essential oil seek medical advice immediately.

Avoid spillages. If spilt, clean immediately. Please store in a dry dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Essential oils are flammable. Keep away from flames. If you are pregnant, suffer from a skin condition, epilepsy, asthma or are taking medication, please seek medical advice before use. Essential oils are not suitable for children. We recommend leaving the door open when using essential oils around animals, enabling them to come and go as they please.

Bathtime Aromatherapy

Simply blend 5 to 20 drops of your favourite essential oil(s) with a tablespoon of carrier oil (we recommend using Grapeseed or Argan oil).

Gently swirl 3-5 drops of your blend into a warm bath to unlock the therapeutic powers of pure essential oils.
