Take 15 Minutes for Meditation

Focus your mind and free it from distractions. Massage neroli blended with jojoba oil onto your pulse points – such as your wrists – to provide clarity and improved awareness.

Stretch At Your Desk

As your to-do list grows, cope gracefully by stretching out in your favorite yoga pose. Return to your desk 15 minutes later and approach tasks with stability and harmony.

Passage to Chill

Aura Cacia essential oils and personal care products can help you chill. Download a coupon for yourself or give one to a friend.

Enjoy a Soothing Time Out

A single drop of calming chamomile can get you through trying times. Dispense in the palm of one hand, rub hands together, cup over face and inhale the tension-easing aroma.

Calm & Happy Commute

Place a few drops of sweet orange, grapefruit or lime on your car's floor mats or plug in an Aura Cacia car diffuser to transform your commute from blah to blissful.

Arm Yourself Against Stress

Before going out for the day, apply 3 to 4 drops of calming ylang ylang, rose or lavender essential oils on your scarf. The subtle aroma will help keep you balanced.

Let Go and Release

Starting at the top of your head, begin tensing, then relaxing all the muscles of your body, from your neck through to your shoulders, arms, hips, legs and feet.
