Take a MomentA Moment
A Hands-and-Breath Moment
When the day feels tight, a drop of calming oil and a slow hand massage to soften it.
On a day that feels like too much at once, let your hands be where you begin. Add a single drop of lavender to a little gentle carrier oil, such as sweet almond, and warm it between your palms. Massage slowly, finger by finger, into the back of each hand and the soft place at the base of the thumb. Breathe the scent in, let the exhale run a little longer than the breath in, and let your shoulders come down from your ears. A small thing, returned to, becomes a steadying one.
