Reed Diffusers can distribute more than just scent in your home --- use the clearing essential oil mix in a reed diffuser for those areas you're having trouble keeping clear

Having trouble clearing out everyone else's energies from your home after the holidays? Sometimes folks (especially family) leave behind more bits and pieces of themselves than you'd like. Old patterns of behavior and old relationships usually find new energy when all the players are together again, so if you need some help clearing your space of all that energy that you'd rather not have around (since everyone has now returned to their own homes) here's something to help. Just set up a couple of these before you start the rest of the cleaning and picking up so they can work on the energies while you work on the rest of it. :)

This idea is something I've been using around my own home the last couple of months because I was getting tired of spritzing and spraying and burning incense every time I turned around and it seems to be working well.

The new dogs are quite sensitive to the energies in the house (even more than me), so keeping it all clear so they won't growl and bark at nothing and freak me out ;>) has been a chore, so I decided to try using the mix of essential oils I've been putting in a spritzer but instead put them in a carrier oil (4 oz) with reeds for dispersal. I have two of these set up --- one uses coconut oil (unscented, liquid) and the other olive oil (the quality you would use for making salves, creams, and lotions) and they've been working great!

The purple one has the olive oil carrier while the blue one has the coconut oil carrier.

Notice the nice golden color the olive oil presents.

The coconut oil carrier oil is from the second pressing of the coconut, so not only is it liquid it doesn't add the coconut scent to the mix. It's also much lighter in color than the olive oil, so I expect it will evaporate more quickly as well. 

For those who don't know the clearing mix, here it is again. Just replace the 4 oz of water with 4 oz of carrier oil instead and place them around the house. Replace as needed. 

If you're being troubled while you sleep (nightmares, can't stay asleep, hearing things (you think), be sure to put one in the bedroom. We are most vulnerable and open to being approached by other realms while we sleep. That half asleep - half awake state is actually a trance state and our brainwaves are usually in at least an alpha brainwave pattern if not theta waves. 

Here's the clearing mixture for a 4 oz batch, with the oils listed most to least amounts: 
  • Rosewood (10-20 drops)
  • Frankincense (6-7 drops)
  • Helichrysum (2-4 drops) --- very strong scent
  • Orange (4-5 drops)
  • Juniper Berry (2-4 drops) --- very strong scent
  • Myrrh (1-3 drops)
Start with the oils used in the smallest amounts and work your way up. Add them to a base of 4 oz of carrier oil in a reed diffuser bottle large enough to hold it. You can infuse with Reiki/Healing Energy separately or as the finished mixture. Experiment with the proportions and use what your intuition (and nose) tells you. 

If the space is *really* hard to keep clear, use dragon's blood essential oil with the carrier oil instead, and make it strong enough for you to smell. 

Add 6 to 8 reed diffusers and enjoy not clearing your space every time you turn around!  :)
