I love that your daughter creates wonderful products with all those nourishing elements. And you get to thoroughly enjoy them. This week I'm trying my hand at rendering the tallow from our cow and creating skin products and other things with it. I make my own lotions and skin products but am striving to replace unnecessary purchased ingredients with more of my own or locally grown elements. I agree with the essential oils stance though, like you, there are certain ways I use them that are more ritualistic and cleansing than anything.
My mind enters into a discordant tone when thinking about all the "stuff" we put in and on our bodies, only to find we must detox from all that "stuff" all without recognizing it's the "stuff" that's harming us. Which, in turn, applies to not just our bodies, but animals, nature and Mother Earth. I've taken your advice and began reading Sacred Economics, which I feel is completely this sort of thing Charles is writing about. We've lost the art of holding things sacred, money being one, but so much more. It's a slow read for me so far, taking in all the bittersweet details, but truly enjoyable and inspirational. Thank you for the recommendation.
I love that our daughter makes these beautiful things for us, too :)
I'm so glad you're reading Sacred Economics. It's a slow read for me, too. All of his books are. I like to read and ponder and reread and ponder. Maybe that's when you know it's something worth soaking up.
