Mini Ritual: Grounding Evening Wind-Down

Time Needed: 5–10 minutes
When: After the kids are in bed / after a shower / end of your day
Intention: To release the day’s tension and return to your body

What You’ll Need:

Your favourite essential oil (Our Harmony Essential Oil Roller is perfect for this)

A quiet corner, warm bed, or cozy chair

Optional: a cup of herbal tea, calming music, or soft lighting

The Ritual:

1. Roll On & Breathe
   Gently roll your Harmony blend onto your wrists, temples, and chest.
   Close your eyes and take 3 slow, deep breaths.
   Let the grounding scent of Cedarwood, Patchouli, and Vetiver anchor you.
   
   
2. Soften Your Body
   Relax your shoulders.
   Unclench your jaw.
   Let your belly soften.
   (You don’t need to do anything right now. Just be.)
   
   
3. Name & Release
   Ask yourself: “What can I gently let go of right now?”
   Imagine that stress dissolving as you exhale.
   
   
4. Anchor In Calm
   Repeat softly (out loud or in your mind):
   “I am safe. I am grounded. I am allowed to rest.”

Why This Works:

Essential oils like Vetiver and Cedarwood calm the nervous system

Breathwork reduces cortisol and soothes the vagus nerve

Intention + repetition help your brain know it’s time to unwind
