What is a SoulStone?
A SoulStone is created when we combine:
~ the beauty of intentional connection to one another
(you and I make a connection),
~ the beauty of intentional connection to one another
(you and I make a connection),
with
~ the energy and power of the earth
(a stone and a specific essential oil)
(a stone and a specific essential oil)
with
~ the light and comfort of our own inner wisdom
(It's there, I promise! I will help you find it.)
(It's there, I promise! I will help you find it.)
We will use the power of stones, plants and ritual to soothe and support.
It works like this:
You order a stone from me. I will choose a special stone for you and a specific essential oil to support you at this time. I will handcraft a "nest" for your SoulStone, and pack it with care.
You order a stone from me. I will choose a special stone for you and a specific essential oil to support you at this time. I will handcraft a "nest" for your SoulStone, and pack it with care.
Your package will include:
- Your stone in a wool nest
- 2 mL. roll-on bottle of essential oil (I only use doTERRA oils combined with a carrier oil to reduce the possibility of skin sensitivity.)
- a beeswax tealight (god, I love beeswax! Another gift of the earth.)
- an instruction card that will outline a ritual, created just for you. This will include a Opening Verse and a Daily Truth and an outline of how to proceed.
Each essential oil selection has been given a Daily Truth. This is an affirmation (a declaration) has been intuited and assigned by me. It was created through mysticism and science--I believe and trust in the power of my intuition when working with essential oils (the very essence of the plant) yet I also understand the complex chemistry of these molecules and know how they can impact the brain and overall body physiology.
The combination of the two results in the Daily Truth for each specific essential oil.
Combining the power of affirmation with the strength of a pure essential oil creates an effective tool to help you change your mood, state of mind, and manifest the change you desire in your life. By using specific scents (aromatherapy) and intention, we can quickly and easily influence our emotions and mental state and, therefore, our overall health and well being.

Q. Why a stone?
A. Stones come from the earth, and have undergone incredible heat and pressure to become who they are--
solid, strong, beautiful and unique.
Stones are all around us. We step on them, stand on them, sit on them, even throw them! We tend to take rocks and stones for granted, though they are really quite wonderful. They are created from the energy of the earth and go through an intense process to be formed. This creates a strength and a power that we can benefit from if we choose to connect to it.
I wanted to bring attention to this (often overlooked) beauty and I wanted to do the same for women. I think that women tend to under-appreciate their magnificence, as well. Let's stop that. Using a SoulStone is a way to start!
SoulStones have bumped up against life—they have tumbled about in a fast-moving river or stream, or have been pounded by the surf--yet they are here to soothe. They have had the strength to withstand great tumult and have been worn smooth by time and experience. We want to call on this wisdom!
Q. Where do the stones come from?
A. On my walks with my pup in the woods of New Hampshire (the Granite state) or on a trip to the sea, I am always on the lookout for stones. I will be drawn to a certain stone because of its color, or its shape, or pattern (or all three!)
I have stopped and pulled it from the earth or water and appreciated it's uniqueness. I have thanked the earth for this gift and have taken it home with me and placed it in a special spot, waiting to be claimed.

Q. How do you choose a stone for me?
A. Know that I have taken care in making a choice specifically for you. When you inquire about a stone, I will ask you to tell me a bit about YOU and your life. I deeply appreciate your trust and hold you in my heart as I make a stone selection for you. I look through my collection, paying close attention to the energy of the stones and what draws me in. I will make a choice based on your specific needs and how the beauty and the resonance of your specific stone can be of support.
Q. How do you know which essential oil is right for me?
A. After I choose your SoulStone, I will then warm it with my hands. I close my eyes and meditate on which essential oil would be appropriate for your current needs.
I make my selection based on intuition, but I also think about the specific chemistry of the oil and how it will impact your physiology. Essential oils smell amazing—and this alone can create a positive association within the brain—but their molecules are also made up of chemical constituents that have the ability to influence cell receptors and this can induce therapeutic benefits. This is how aromatherapy works. Understanding the special chemistry behind each essential oil makes it possible to affect emotions and manage our mood, because it allows us to produce a specific response within the brain. It's incredibly powerful stuff! (The earth again shares her gifts with us!)

Q. How do I use my SoulStone and the essential oil?
A. Your SoulStone package will come with an instruction card that will outline your simple ritual. The idea is to take a few minutes every day (morning is ideal) to quiet your mind and connect with yourself. The SoulStone and the essential oil will help you deepen that connection.
You will rub some oil onto your SoulStone and it will soak up it's goodness. After spending some time breathing in your oil and repeating your Daily Truth, you can place your SoulStone back in it's nest and then decide where you'd like it to spend the day.
I recommend you put somewhere you're likely to see it throughout the day—on a kitchen windowsill, near your workspace, or in a sacred space you've created.

Stone is porous and will hold on the the scent of your oil (the wool nest will do this, too!), so you can reach for your SoulStone any time during the day, take a few more deep breaths, recall your Daily Truth and reconnect. Your brain will immediately recognize the familiar scent and associate it with the calm that you felt during your morning ritual. You will create your own mini-aromatherapy session!
You can rely on your SoulStone.
Use it as a conduit to disperse negative emotions.
If you are stressed or scared or anxious, reach for your SoulStone.
Imagine that the stone will absorb your distressing emotions
and allow it to do so.
It will take them and deliver them back to the earth,
Where the ground is waiting—deep and rich—ready to receive.

Never forget that your special SoulStone has been born of earth alchemy and worn smooth by life. It is strong, solid and dependable. It’s here to anchor you and ground you. I will remind you that:
you, too, are of the earth and possess this same power.
