Helpful Aromatherapy Conversations (Printable PDF)
Wheel of Life
The purpose of the ‘Wheel of Life’ is to help you to evaluate where you might need focus in your life to help bring about more balance. The center of the wheel is the least desired point to be, and the outside of the circle is the most desired point. Honestly evaluate each area and place a point on the line of where you are currently, not where you wish to be. Now, connect the dots. The idea is to have as close to a symmetrical circle as possible, not a starburst of sorts. The object is to now work in your life to bring more balance to the wheel. I usually do this practice every six months or so. It is a great tool to assist in our balance of the sacral chakra, and harmony overall.
