Roses ignite the spark within us.
Roses are a woman's answer to the wandering goddess—is that not what we are?
Wandering goddesses, swaying through life, day in and day out?
Personally, I don’t feel like a goddess when I ignore myself every day, especially on the days when I feel extra heavy.
Have you ever stopped to smell a rose? How does it make you feel?
For me, it brings joy deep inside. My inner goddess awakens just a little, and I feel a tingling sensation throughout my whole body. I experience something—pleasure, delight, a deep joy from something so beautiful that I want more of it because it feels so good.
The Rose
The reason you might feel a sensual awakening from the scent of roses is that they have powerful psychological and physiological effects on our senses. The rose is often associated with love, passion, and romance, and its fragrance can evoke feelings of tenderness, intimacy, and sensuality.
Rose essential oil contains natural chemical compounds like phenylethylamine and eugenol, which have mood-enhancing and relaxing properties. These can influence both the mind and body, fostering emotional and physical attraction.
An aromatherapy ritual with a rose-infused foot bath can bring a deep sense of well-being and relaxation.
What if you could truly feel like a goddess every day? Wouldn’t that be wonderful?
I have a climbing rose in a pot. When it blooms, I collect the petals and let them dry in a bowl for a few days. Once they’re dry, I mix them with Epsom salt and use it in my goddess ritual on days when I need extra care and love.
I invite you to embrace a little goddess magic yourself.
With love,
