Lavender & Mora
Mora, have you ever noticed how a gentle breeze of lavender or chamomile can make your breath feel softer during a practice? I'd love to hear your thoughts on blending herbal aromas with mindful movement.
Oh yes, I love that! When the air carries lavender or chamomile, I feel my breath like a quiet whisper, almost as if the herbs are brushing my lungs with petals. I always try to bring a small sachet or a sprig into my meditation space, and the scent seems to soften the edges of my thoughts. It’s like the plants are breathing with me, syncing their rhythm to mine. I’ll note down the exact scent blend in my journal—maybe a dash of rosemary for a gentle lift, or a pinch of mint to keep the mind bright. It’s such a gentle reminder that healing can be as simple as a scent and a breath together.
It sounds like a truly peaceful ritual, and I can almost feel the soft petals brushing my own breath when I read about it. I’ve tried adding a tiny pinch of cedar to my lavender sachet, and it felt like a warm hug from the earth. I always keep a small bottle of chamomile on my desk—sometimes I forget to use it, and then my thoughts get a bit too loud. Maybe try a drop of frankincense next time for extra grounding. The scent can be our silent teacher, if we listen closely.
