'I am Serenity' inspiration

Lavender (lavandula angustifolia) + Roman Chamomile (Chamomilla recutita):

For the ‘I am Serenity’ candle I was inspired by the thought of lavender and chamomile, not only because of their aromatic and calming effects but also because they share the same components (lynaly acetate and linalool). Chamomile, popular as a herbal tea, assists you in bringing your irritability, nervousness and tension down. Lavender is one of the most well known essential oils. That is no surprise given its powerful relaxing and soothing  effects. 

Combining these classic oils seems to be the perfect aid for creating feelings of relaxation, both physically and mentally. When lighting this candle, set your intention to be present, forget the past and stop worrying about the future. They do not exist. Breathe and just be in the here and now.

I enjoy having the ‘I am Serenity’ candle lit up next to an Amethyst crystal on my bedside table. The amethyst is an ideal stone for enhancement of one’s physical environment. Placing Amethysts in your home, meditation room or bedside table can bring the feeling that you are surrounded and protected by a purple light. To me, it is easy to associate Amethyst with Lavender due to its purple colour. Also, Amethyst opens and clears the third eye and the crown chakras.
