The Holiday Season: A Time for Harmony and Connection with Loved Ones

By Francoise Rapp

The holidays are in full swing as we bring the decorations down from the attic, spectacular family recipes make their annual appearance, and we gather with loved ones to enjoy unique moments of togetherness. This year, the holiday season seems particularly special as we reconnect with loved ones to celebrate and appreciate these special moments of harmony, peace and joy together.

But as quickly as the holiday season appears, it always seems to make an even quicker exit. Don't you wish the spirit of the season would live throughout the year in our minds and hearts? How wonderful it would be to maintain this harmony, this sense of gratefulness, as we keep that important connection with our loved ones all year long.

This holiday season and throughout the year, use the following aromatherapy blends to increase your sense of connectedness with your loved ones, and bring you peace, harmony and gratitude. These blends are great not only for creating an ambiance at holiday gatherings, but they also make lovely gifts.
