“Inhale, and God approaches you. Hold the inhalation, and God remains with you. Exhale, and you approach God. Hold the exhalation and surrender to God.”- Tirumalai Krishnamacharya.
Our June Fragrance of the Month are inspired by the inner cleansing experiences of Yoga and Mindfulness and are dedicated to “Yoga Day” on June 21st.
In both yoga and mindful meditation, focus on the breath is a key component. While mindfulness means bringing all your focus to the present moment alone and being aware of your thoughts without judgement; yoga is a holistic way of living with emphasis on different asanas that energize the whole body and mind.
Incorporating more mindfulness while performing yoga asanas can boost each other’s effects and empower you even more. Making mindful yoga a part of your life will awaken manifold power in your mind, body, and soul!
Aromatherapy has long been used to supplement holistic practices as they infuse an element of fun while also subconsciously making the user focus better. Our June Month Fragrances will be a great aide during your daily yoga and mindfulness sessions and we highly recommend you give them a try.
We have also increased the concentration of essential oils in our candles so that they can offer more therapeutic benefits.
