Journaling as a Form of Meditation: How Essential Oils Support the Experience


Journaling is a powerful practice that combines reflection, release, and self-expression. With the support of essential oils, it offers clarity, calmness, and a deeper connection with oneself.

It provides a safe space for releasing pent-up emotions and thoughts, fostering self-awareness, and inspiring creativity.
