It’s easy to make someone else’s day merry and bright simply by being present during this busy time of year. Little things such as holding a door open for someone or signaling “thank you” when you merge in traffic are just a few of ways to remain in the spirit long after you take down the last ornament from the tree. Whether we are home for the holidays or are away from loved ones, there are still many ways big – and small -- to spread holiday cheer. Here are five intentions to set for ourselves and others during this most wonderful time of year.

It seems silly but it typically takes something ending – in this case the calendar year – for us to reflect on the many blessings in our lives. Being thankful for all that we have in life is a common theme of the holidays, but expressing gratitude should be a year-round practice. We are often consumed by planning and preparing for what lies ahead, or focusing on all that we don’t have or what goes wrong, that we forget to appreciate the simple things in life. Like the clean sheets you sleep in, a simple meal on the table and friends and family to enjoy it with. The practice of being grateful has been connected with living a long life and also contributes to the well-being of those around you. As we head into 2017, focus on appreciating all that you have and try to weave this practice into your daily routine. Here are some of our favorite ways to express gratitude. You’ll be thankful you did!

Crystal Clear Smudge Stick Variety Pack Palo Santo - Use this Holy Wood as incense, or to cleanse people and spaces of lower energies. Cedar - The medicine of protection. Cedar trees are very old, wise and powerful spirits. White Sage - Is considered a sacred, cleansing, purifying, and protective plant. Blue Sage – Known as “Grandmother Sage," provides spiritual strength, and is sometimes used during exorcism rituals. Quartz Crystal provides positive energy, balance and clarity. Now, relax & raise your vibration. Choose the stick you feel most drawn to. Ignite one end of your Smudging Stick with a candle and let it burn for approx. 30 sec. Blow the flame out, and rest the stick on a fireproof dish. The stick will smolder for a few minutes. Relight as necessary. For best results, use with our Crystal Clear intention candle. Crystal Clear Salt - Place crystals and stones in need of cleansing and repair into the salt for up to three days. This removes and clears any lower energies that the crystals may have accumulated while doing their work for you. Use as often as necessary to cleanse and re-energize them after arduous healing work. This proprietary blend of salts will also help repair and heal crystals that have sustained minor damage. You can also prepare a cleansing bath for your crystals by adding Crystal Clear salt to water. There should be enough salt added that the mixture mimics clean ocean water. Crystal Clear can also be added to your personal bath water as a soak when you need re-energizing or wish to remove lower energies from your person and raise your vibration. Crystal Clear Spray- Containing sacred ti leaf, 'olena, palo santo and pa'akai, this convenient spray is the perfect solution for those that need a smokeless smudge option. The folks at Aloha Elixir like to say, “It's like white light in a bottle.” Spritz this sacred mist into the air when you need to clear yourself or a space after energy or bodywork, during stressful situations, or for peace of mind and protection. Crystal Clear Candle - Great for use in the home as an alternative to traditional smudging, the Crystal Clear candle contains five different kinds of quartz crystals. Pure and unscented, simply write your intention on the candle to program it with your request and create a clear and sacred space anywhere you choose. |

Flowers have been used as medicine and metaphysical symbols for healing and uplifting the spirit for centuries. Each flower, like gemstones, or like music, have a special vibration or use that can enhance your intentions and soothe or uplift your senses through aromatherapy. At Aloha Elixir, we pick special flowers with the kinds of qualities that enhance the purpose of each candle.
Gardenias
Gardenias are exotic, creamy colored flowers that protect from negative outside influences. If you love Gardenias you are protective, positive, and able to see all sides of a situation. We add Gardenia fragrance to Angel, to encourage the healing white light of your Angels and guides to provide comfort, connection, and clarity during times of indecision, or when you want to invite the pure healing energy of the ancestors into your consciousness.
Roses
Roses are one of the most famous symbols of Love in the world. Their beautiful scent stimulates the olfactory senses and like most romantically inclined flowers, trigger positive, beautiful memories and bring joy to their recipients. If you love Roses, you are sensual, giving, romantic and playful. Never afraid to show your passions and live with purpose, like the Rose your job in the world is to be a symbol of beauty and inspiration. We use Rose essential oil with Sandalwood in Romantic Rose, to create an earthy, base for this beautiful flower that is always rooted deeply in love.
Lavender
Lavender is one of the most widely used scents in aromatherapy. First used by the Phoenicians in their perfumes, the soothing scent was thought to comfort the brain. If you picked Lavender, you are comforting, compassionate and have deep inner wisdom. Chances are, you are a natural healer, and probably have the gift of making people feel at ease when you are in their presence. We put pure Lavender essential oil in Harmonious Home, to soothe tension, relax an over-active mind, promote peace, and regulate energies that can be taxing on the mind, body and spirit.
Night Blooming Jasmine
Night Blooming Jasmine is special because of it's highly prized, smooth and elegant scent. If you love this flower that comes alive under the light of the Moon, you are cool, sophisticated and powerful. Like the Jasmine, you bloom best when the light is shining brightest on you. This means that you are the type of person who can show grace under pressure, using all of your resources to turn the tides of your life, manifest your dreams and desires with personal magnetism, a quick intellect, and graceful force. We use Night Blooming Jasmine in Moon as the perfect complement to one of nature's most powerful forces; and made only when the cycles of the Moon are at their peak, or during special celestial events.

Why Gemstones?
It's a long known fact that gemstones and crystals can not only record information, but can also emit energy frequencies into the surrounding environment. Crystals and stones can actually be imprinted with with energy from things like sound frequencies(music), or Human intention. By programming a stone or crystal, the stone itself holds the energy of the intention it's been programmed with, and can be released when you add your personal intention to it, or what we call "tethering." Tethering ensures that the candle and all of it's carefully selected contents work towards helping you manifest your intentions. This is why it is so important to be clear about what your intentions are before first lighting your candle. If you're confused at all about the best way to set an intention, see our:
