September Reset: Grounding + Calming Swaps 🌿

September always feels like a natural reset. The pace shifts, school runs return, the air gets cooler, and suddenly our bodies crave rhythm and grounding again. Instead of pushing through with coffee and chaos, this is the perfect time to build in little calming swaps that actually support your nervous system.

Here are 3 simple ways to bring more calm + grounding into your evenings this month:

1. Diffuser Blends to Ground + Reset ✨

Instead of lighting a candle, try these blends that create the same cosy vibe — but without the chemical soup:

Ground + Settle

• 3 drops Grounding

• 2 drops Lavender

• 1 drop Cedarwood

Evening Unwind

• 3 drops Stress Away

• 2 drops Orange

Autumn Calm

• 2 drops Frankincense

• 2 drops Sacred Sandalwood

• 2 drops Bergamot

2. DIY Calming Pillow Mist 💤

This one is quick, affordable, and feels like a tiny luxury at bedtime.

You’ll need:

• 50ml glass spray bottle

• 1 tsp witch hazel (or high proof alcohol)

• 8–10 drops Lavender EO

• 5 drops Grounding EO (or Cedarwood, NLBS, Frankincense / similar)

• Top up with distilled water

Shake before each use, spritz onto your pillow or sheets, and breathe in deeply. It’s like a nervous-system hug before sleep. 💜

3. Nervous-System Friendly Evening Ritual 🌙

Evenings don’t have to be complicated. It’s less about “doing more” and more about slowing down. Here’s a rhythm you can try:

• Digital sunset: Switch off screens 30–60 mins before bed.

• Diffuse one of the blends above (set the vibe for your room).

• Legs up the wall: 5 minutes, no equipment needed — helps shift your body out of stress mode.

• Cup of herbal tea (chamomile, lemon balm, or just warm water with lemon).

• Pillow mist + lights out.

Tiny shifts like this signal to your body: it’s safe to rest.

Why Grounding Matters

When your nervous system is frazzled, your body struggles to heal, digest, and sleep properly. Grounding practices — whether oils, rituals, or just stepping outside barefoot — literally help your body remember it’s safe. And when your body feels safe, it can finally rest + repair.

This September, choose one calming swap and make it stick. Small doesn’t mean insignificant. It means sustainable. ✨ PS: This month only, if you grab the Grounding essential oil, you’ll also get a beautiful gratitude journal free (only for the first 1600 orders — don’t wait). It’s the perfect pair for your September reset ritual. Tons more going on - Autumn Catalogue dropping 1st Sep (to 10th Oct).

🌿 Here’s to messy, low-tox, grounded evenings that actually help your body thrive.
