Guided Spa Experiences Luxury Bath and Beauty Gift Set Collection

Connect to Mother Nature with this collection

This wellness collection features Mother Earth Essentials bath and body care products in order to share the nature-inspired teachings, rooted in the plants of the Medicine Wheel. These signature beauty products are based on the traditional teachings of Indigenous culture, the spiritual properties handed down from Cree elders and medicine people.

The Medicine Wheel symbolizes the interconnection of life and the seasonal cycles of nature. It teaches that harmony, balance, and respect for all parts are needed to sustain life. “All parts of the wheel are important and depend on each other in the cycle of life; what affects one affects all, and the world cannot continue with missing parts.” (Source: Elder Lillian Pitawanakwat, Ojibwe/Potawotami, as cited in Pereda, n.d.)

The Medicine Wheel is divided into four equal sections signifying physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. The wheel is used in a clockwise direction following the path of the rising and setting of the sun.

• Four Directions: East, South, West, North
• Four Seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter
• Four Corners of Our Land: Yellow, Black, Red, White
• Four Elements: Earth, Fire, Water, and Air
• Four Plants: Tobacco, Sage, Cedar, Sweetgrass
• Four Stages of Life: Baby. Child, Teen, Adult, Elder

Enjoy this time for your self-care. It is important to know that health isn’t just about your physical well-being. It also includes your emotional, mental, and spiritual wellness. You deserve this gift. Take the time to connect back with yourself and nature. Take some “me time” to relax. Cleanse your space, renew yourself, get grounded, be kind, and gentle.

• Set yourself a comfortable place to relax before and after your treatment experience. Ensure the space you will be in is warm, cozy, and comfortable. Diffuse any essential oils you want and create the desired lighting ambiance.
• Turn your phone and notifications to silent. Inform any people in your household to avoid interrupting you during this time. Use this time to connect with your inner self.
• Have all necessary supplies close at hand.
• Review the ritual once before you start. This will ensure you have a good understanding of the steps required. It will give you insights into how you want to customize your own ritual if you want.

• Consider things like towels, bath mat, robe, slippers, yoga mat, smudge sticks, singing bowls, tingsha, drinking water, tea, etc. Be as indulgent or as simple as you would like. It’s all about customizing your own unique experience that’s perfect for you. The more you do these well-being rituals with intent, the more you will learn how you like to enjoy them.

Instructions:

1. Prepare your space to your liking; according to the experience you would like.
2. Read up on the powers of the plant medicine gift set you have received. Keep this information top of mind as you set your intentions for your self-care ritual. Make this time something special for yourself and you’ll reward yourself tenfold.
3. Keep all the products within arm’s reach.
4. Give yourself a high-five in the mirror. (This provides positive affirmation you are showing up for yourself and connecting with your subconscious mind, also known as your inner child.) Say hello to the reflection in the mirror. “I’m here for you”. Feel the positivity, have good thoughts, and be present during your self-care ritual.
5. From a comfortable position, spritz the aromatherapy spray (2 pumps) above your head. Get ready to smell and breathe in the plant essence.
6. Get grounded by trying the 4-7-8 breathing technique. Breathe in through your nose: 1-2-3-4. Hold: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7. Exhale out your mouth: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8. Repeat like a wave, as needed. This will connect you with your subconscious mind (inner child) and help you activate your Parasympathetic Nervous System, which produces a calm and relaxed feeling in the mind and body.
7. From a comfortable posture, light the candle. Make sure to place the candle in a safe area away from anything that can catch fire.
8. Give yourself a heart hug: place your hands over the center of your chest. Take a deep breath in and long exhale out of your mouth. While keeping your hands over your chest, think self-affirming positive thoughts and connect to your inner self.
9. Celebrate or recognize something you are grateful for. By practicing mindfulness (being present and in tune with yourself), you can embrace your inner child with self-compassion and avoid judging your thoughts. This is a good time to be still with meditation or flowing through some yoga postures. Be positive. Breathe. Connect.
10. Disrobe and step into your warm shower or bath. Cleanse the body with the Peppermint & Sage Body Wash and enjoy the earthy botanical blend specially formulated to help cleanse and condition your skin.
11. Wash your hair with the Natural Peppermint & Sage Shampoo: an earthy botanical blend specially formulated to help balance hair and scalp, providing shine, and volume. The tingling sensation of peppermint oil revitalizes hair follicles leaving the hair and scalp feeling clean and fresh, whereas sage oil has a holistic clarifying and cleansing effect. For best results, make sure you lather and rinse shampoo with warm water, never hot – as this correct temperature will help the hair cuticles to separate for a deeper clean.
12. Condition your hair with the Peppermint & Sage Conditioner. The invigorating and deep cleansing combination of peppermint and sage stimulates your scalp right down to the follicle, gently loosening oil buildup that can lead to hair loss. The tingling sensation of peppermint oil is revitalizing, while sage oil has a clarifying and cleansing effect on the body, mind, and spirit. For best results, ensure you rinse the conditioner with cold water, as this will help close hair cuticles, locking in moisture and giving your hair a better chance of staying shiny, healthy, stronger, and frizz-free.
13. If you prefer to wash your face with a cleaning soap bar, you can use the Sweetgrass Facial Bar Soap.
14. Feel free to jump into a hot tub, steam room, or sauna. Warming up the body to help ease muscle tension and rehydrate the body. Use this time to deeply breathe in the essences from Mother Nature; captured within these luxurious natural products.
15. (Important: If you have any underlying heart or medical conditions, please consult with your doctor prior to taking this step.) Once you are ready to get out of the water, adjust your shower’s water temperature to run the coldest water you can stand. You can increase the coldness, the more you get used to this practice. Allow the cold water to refresh your skin for five to ten seconds – while breathing deeply. Deep breathing is crucial here to ensure your skin and body reap all the benefits of this temperature shock to your system.
16. Carefully step out of the shower onto a secure bath mat and dry yourself with your fluffiest clean towel.
17. Apply the Hand and Body Lotion all over your body.
18. Rest and relax for a few minutes, laying down if possible. If you have long hair or get chilled easily – wrap your head in a towel, to avoid getting cold. You can spray a couple more pumps of the aromatherapy mist above your head. Relax and breathe. Feel your shoulders drop away from your ears with every exhale. Practice a mindful breathing exercise: Breath in deeply and slowly, then exhale out your mouth – repeat in and out like a wave. You can even follow along with a guided breathwork video, online. Feel your shoulders drop away from your ears and surrender to relaxation for the next 30 to 90 minutes, or however long you might have. If it’s five minutes, then just take that, rather than nothing at all. Make sure you keep some drinking water on hand, so you can stay hydrated.
19. Give yourself a heart hug: place your hands over the center of your chest. Take a deep breath in and long exhale out of your mouth. Repeat like a wave for desired time.
20. Keep the soap by your sink or shower – for a daily pick me up when you wash your hands or body. Breathe in the essence and renew your spirit each time.
