On day 6 of our Spring Cleaning Challenge, be sure to take a moment and reflect on your surroundings.

As you begin your journey of cleansing of renewal, don't forget to take the time to liven up your space.  Be sure to bring plants and flowers indoors, they help to naturally freshen and purify any space.  They also provide a reminder that warmer days are on the way.

What are your favorite springtime flowers?

Spring. The word can mean so much for a variety of reasons. It calls to mind visions of hope, rebirth, life….. and cleaning. Spring Cleaning. What if we took a moment to really concentrate on all the ways we could hone in on how we deserve to feel at peace, enlivened, while invoke our own form of inner “Spring Cleaning”?

After the cold of winter our minds drift from our inner core and explode into our outer world, like a crocus springing back into life after a long frost. We take the time we’ve spent hibernating both physically and spiritually and dance into our own new beginnings. Spring! If we take this time to rejuvenate our souls and our homes the inner balance we can achieve can set the stage for a new place of individual transformation in our lives.  

Soulful Essence hears your voice. We take the earth’s treasure and harness its life energy into products that give back our sense of inner peace and growth while at the same time giving back to each other. We’ve made it simple to get in touch with the silent, gleeful parts of ourselves by using aromatherapy and harnessing the earth’s energy into portable, usable bliss.

It is known that natural ingredients and aromas contained within them possess the secret power of clean, energizing, calming properties, among others. When it comes to doing your own home or spiritual spring cleaning, we have two great solutions to help with transition:

Meditation Station is based on Eastern and Native American shamanic botanicals.  This blend is designed to purify, cleanse and drive out negative thoughts and emotions.  It also helps to fortify and replenish your tired nerves and emotions.  It's an excellent way to clean, renew and create space in your home, your heart and your mind.

Get the Funk Out is designed to purify and enliven your home and your emotions.  It's excellent for soothing exhaustion and works wonders at fighting germs anywhere in your home.  This blend helps to awaken your senses, it's uplifting and helps to put a little pep in your step.

Spring cleaning can be a drag and sometimes you need a bit of motivation.  We are all waking up from our winter hibernation routines and now it's time to dust of the cob webs and get moving.  Recommitting to your yoga practice is a great way to start.  

If you are looking for a bit of support to help get you in the groove and put some pep in your step, we've got you covered.  Our Get the Funk Out aromatherapy spray helps purify your emotions and your surroundings.  It's great for soothing exhaustion and combating agitation.  This blend also packs a powerful deodorizing and germ fighting punch.  So it's you'll definitely want to use it on your stinky yoga mat, gym shoes or any other funky thing you may have lying around the house.  

Give it a try and let us know what you think!  What's your favorite way to Get the Funk Out?

 When we think of Spring Cleaning, we often think of getting rid of what is no longer needed.  However, it's important to remember to take the time to create space in your body as well as our home.  

Side bending yoga postures help to lengthen the spine and are great for flexibility.  When combined with twists they can also be very detoxifying and help to support the immune system.  

Take a moment, before your start your day, to incorporate side bends into your morning practice. They are also easy to do while seated at your desk or when you're stuck in traffic.  Be sure to sneak them in wherever you can!

What's your favorite side bend?
