Everyone has desires for themselves and their loved ones. Desires are hopes and dreams of what we think will make our lives happier, fuller, and easier. These recipes have each been used for hundreds or thousands of years to help people obtain that which they passionately desire.

Abundance

Abundance is something that we all pray for, whether it is an abundance of love, money, health, respect, career goals, or a million other desires. Certain oils and fragrances have been used throughout time to help bring abundance into our personal existence. These oils have religious and holy significance in many cultures. For thousands of years, they have also been used to bring an abundance of positivity into a person’s life and to eliminate all negativity. These oils boost good health for the immune system, lift the spirits, and diminish feelings of low self-esteem. Try them yourself to see if you can achieve an abundance of that which you desire.

Essential Oils

Black pepper, cedarwood, cinnamon bark, cinnamon leaf, clove, orange, and ylang-ylang

Abundance Bath Bombs

These bath and shower bombs have the tranquilizing, sedative, antirheumatic, anti-spasmodic, and tonic therapeutic properties needed to bring you to a place of ease, comfort, and enjoyment. These fizzy little pieces of heaven can help you to relax and open your heart to receive that which you ask for. Make these little treasures as gifts for those you wish to have an abundance of good in their lives. Bath bombs are inexpensive to make yourself and can bring you a world of positivity and goodness.

Yield: 12–18 bombs

Recipe

1 cup baking soda

½ cup citric acid

½ cup cornstarch

½ cup Epsom salts, fine grained

15 drops orange oil

15 drops ylang-ylang oil

½ teaspoon carrier oil

¾ teaspoon water

spray bottle (water)

4 drops food coloring (optional)

In a large bowl, mix your dry ingredients together until fine with a whisk. In a tiny jar with a lid, add your wet ingredients and shake to mix. You may add a couple drops of food coloring to the wet jar. Extremely slowly, add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients while whisking rapidly. If fizzing takes place, whisk until it is mixed. Once the ingredients are well mixed—it should be the texture of slightly damp sand—add a spray or two of water. Once the mixture is the consistency you like, form into balls; I just smash mine down into ice cube trays or muffin tins. You can use cute molds, but you must work rapidly as mixture will dry out quickly. Leave in open air, uncovered, in a room where they will not be disturbed for 12–24 hours. Once they are dry, you can place 1–2 bombs into your bath or directly into the spray of the shower and they will fizz and release their aromatic and healing properties. Store unused portion in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Abundance Prayer

When spending time alone with your thoughts and prayers, it’s optimal to have these essential oils permeating the air to help calm you, focus your thoughts, and bring peace to you and your household. The sedative, aphrodisiacal, antidepressant, nervine, and euphoric properties make this blend the optimal choice for prayer and meditation. This recipe is an all-time favorite to get that aroma diffusing around you as you seek abundance with your prayers of gratitude for all that you have yet to receive.

Yield: 1 application

Follow your directions for using essential oils in your particular brand of diffuser.

Choose the essential oils needed for your condition, then add water and oils to the diffuser. Run your diffuser as needed to permeate the air with therapeutic properties and achieve the results you desire.

Acquiring Oil

The aroma brought about by this recipe brings abundance and joy to the wearer. I like to wear this blend on the soles of my feet when I know I am going out to hunt for berries or herbs in the wild. I am then sure to bring back more than I thought I would and have plenty of an abundance left over to share with others. The therapeutic properties in this blend that give you the energy and strength you need for your projects are tonic, stimulant, and revitalizing agents.

Bathe My Mind

Relax in the tub but don’t worry about the answer; the correct answer will come to you as you soak in these divination-enhancing essential oils. The calming and healing therapeutic properties will relax you as you let your mind drift. By the time you towel off, you will have a clearer understanding of which direction you should proceed in.

Yield: 1 application

Recipe

3 drops juniper oil

3 drops frankincense oil

2 drops German chamomile oil

1 drop yarrow oil

1 drop sandalwood oil

1 tablespoon carrier oil

1 tablespoon milk (optional for adults, recommended for children)

As you begin to fill the tub with water, pour the chosen essential oils and carrier oil into the running water. Run a warm, not hot, bath. Water that is too hot will cause the essential oils to dissipate. You may add 1 tablespoon of milk to the water; this ensures that the essential oils will not stick to your skin, but will mix with the water. You may soak in the water as long as you are comfortable. Dry your feet well once you get out of the water, as the oils will cause them to be slippery, increasing your chances of falling. Rinse the tub of any remaining oils.

We all wish for vitality in our lives: passion, strength, vigor, and an active spirit. There are multiple tasks each day that we can do to achieve vitality, such as eating well, exercise, communicating our needs, friendships, natural healing, and herbs. Essential oils have long been thought to bring vigor and fire back into a person’s life.

Vitality Bath and Shower Bombs

This recipe brings laughter, youthfulness, and strong, active emotions to the user. Bath bombs are so popular because they bring exuberance to an otherwise mundane experience. Couple that with life-enhancing essential oils and you will have a treat to remember.

Yield: 8–12 bombs

Recipe

1 cup baking soda

½ cup citric acid

½ cup cornstarch

½ cup Epsom salts, fine grained

8 drops orange oil

8 drops pink grapefruit oil

8 drops rose oil

½ teaspoon carrier oil

¾ teaspoon water

spray bottle (water)

In a large bowl, mix your dry ingredients together until fine with a whisk. In a tiny jar with a lid, add your wet ingredients and shake to mix. You may add a couple drops of food coloring to the wet jar. Extremely slowly, add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients while whisking rapidly. If fizzing takes place, whisk until it is mixed. Once the ingredients are well mixed, it should be the texture of slightly damp sand. Add a spray or two of water if needed. Once the mixture is the consistency you like, form into balls; I just smash mine down into ice cube trays or muffin tins. You can use cute molds, but you must work rapidly as mixture will dry out quickly. Leave in open air, uncovered, in a room where they will not be disturbed for 12–24 hours. Once they are dry, you can place 1–2 bombs into your bath or directly into the spray of the shower and they will fizz and release their aromatic and healing properties. Store unused portion in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Melt the beeswax and the carrier oil in a glass bowl in the microwave until most of the beeswax is melted. You can also use a pan on the stovetop on low. Cool slightly. Add the vitamin E and the essential oils and stir or whisk quickly. With a spoon, drip a drop of the mixture onto the counter and Let set for 1 minute. Pull your finger through the drop and check for consistency. If mixture is too thin, add more beeswax; if it is too thick, add more oil. Once desired consistency is acquired, immediately pour into small balm container (glass or metal) with a lid. After mixture cools, cover and store in a cool, dark area for up to 6 months.
