How to Create a Beautiful and Effective Facial Toner with Lavender

← CHAPTER OVERVIEW

Let’s connect to nature

To make this facial toner was one of my most favourite things this summer. To cut the lavender, which I grew in my garden, felt and smelled amazing.

To bundle the lavender and to hang it up to dry feels like just a joy. And then you have some weeks to look at the lavender bundles decorating your home and enjoy their magic in your rooms.

Once they are fully dried, the little flower pedals start to come off the branch, so you’ll know when it’s time to process them. 🙂

I had two relatively small bushes of lavender this year and decided to make the facial toner and keep some of the lavender to put into my bath, which is another thing that makes me incredibly happy, each time I do.

The only other ingredient you need for the facial toner is vinegar. I used a nice white wine vinegar.

You simply put some of the dried lavender in a jar and cover it with vinegar, and then you let it sit for some weeks, shake it occasionally and see how it slowly to turns pink.

You can see my results below. It works super well to cleanse the face.

INGREDIENTS Lavender Facial Toner:

a handful of dried lavender & white wine vinegar to cover

Instructions:

Pick lavender
Hang lavender up to dry.
Once dried, put lavender into a jar and cover with vinegar. Close jar.
Let the jar sit for at least two weeks, gently shaking it regularly.
Filter out lavender and fill into bottles.

Apply and enjoy your new facial toner!

I love flowers. And flowers love me.

And I really don’t know if I could live without them – they can improve our lives in so many ways.

I picked this recipe for the PURPOSE chapter because lavender corresponds with our colour for this month, purple, but also because I believe it’s part of our purpose as humans to see ourselves as a part of nature and the natural world again.

And making a nice facial toner infused with the magic of real life flowers, no artificial preservatives needed, is a wonderful way to practice that.

I hope you enjoy!

Practice: Building a Safe Cocoon

Building a safe cocoon

The practice comes in two or even three different versions, in this chapter.

I had this idea of creating a safe cocoon, to help us move through the world more peacefully, but my guides invited me to do something else, building a kind of Merkabah, a protective and empowering shield, so I will share both of these options with you to choose from, and even add in a protective bubble as well.

Ritual: Releasing Old Assumptions

A Ritual & Prayer to release old assumptions about our bodies

Many of the thoughts, assumptions we have about our bodies are not even our own. They are what we collected by living in this world. They are insecurities projected onto us by others.

So, today we will explore a way to release these assumptions that we have about our body, that no longer serve us, so we can have a better experience in our bodies from now on.

Body – Week 1 – Pt. 1

Welcome to a new chapter in the CREATRIX School

Our lives are such incredible miracles.

Everything is moving, is changing at all times. We are always in motion, life is always in motion. Life is motion.

And we will become more familiar with the motion of our bodies, and what we like about them and what we need them for, and how we can influence their well-being, and our natural, radiant beauty in the best possible way in this chapter.

In this lesson, we start by becoming more familiar with the topic and also more aware of our bodies.

Body – Week 1 – Pt. 2

How do our bodies interact with this world?

In this lesson, we explore what it means to experience our bodies in interaction with the world.

How do people see you, and how do you see yourself? Why does this matter?

And how would you like to be seen by the world? Let’s find out!

Body – Week 1 – Pt. 3

What do you (dis)like about your body? 👻

In today’s lesson, we will be very honest with ourselves, so we can heal and create the changes we wish for.

For this, we are going to explore moments of feeling unsafe in our bodies, and moments in which we might have felt rejected for our bodies and how that has influenced our way of experiencing this world as well.

Then we’ll do a ritual to let go of the negativity we held on to about our bodies and begin to explore all the wonderful things we can do with our bodies.

Body – Week 2 – Pt. 1

More letting go and some New Ideas on Healing & Change

In this lesson, we will explore what it means to see our bodies and how we talk to them in new ways.

We will explore how healing works – without medication, and we will see how we can also change some of our features by talking to ourselves in different ways.

And we will explore why it is necessary to love ourselves and our experience for creating changes in a peaceful and joyful way.

Body – Week 2 – Pt. 2

How can we heal ourselves?

If you have allergies, or get a cold every year, if you have chronic diseases, food intolerances, migraines, if you need glasses or hearing aids, or medication of any sorts, if you take painkillers occasionally or often, if you don’t feel healthy or fit mostly or all the time, or think that your health is going to deteriorate as you age, you are limiting yourself – and if you wish, we will change the way you think about yourself and these things in this lesson today.

Because you can learn to heal yourself with your thoughts alone.

Body – Week 2 – Pt. 3

Thoughts on ageing (happily) & the Wheel of Colours & our Health

Today, we will first look at a few quotes and ideas that I found that might be helpful with our process of changing our beliefs, and then we will look at our Wheel of Colours, to find out how it can help us with healing and balancing our lives as well.

After that, we will think about age, and ageing, as that is on the one hand, a construct and illusion as well, and a necessity at the same time. And for that, we will time-travel a bit.

It’s going to be fun!

Body – Week 3 – Pt. 1

Let’s start our workout and movement routine

In the first half of this chapter we’ve focused on our mindset, how we see our world, and how we can change our mind to change our reality.

Today we will actually start moving our bodies, and I will share with you the basic requirements to keep your body healthy and fit so you can make a long healthy life a possibility for you.

Body – Week 3 – Pt. 2

Balancing our new routines

Our bodies often quite like for things to stay the same, so they might not be excited about us changing our routine.

Being aware of that will help us to set up routines that last. For that, we will start crazy small, and level up bit by bit.

And we look at how to resolve blockages that might keep us from starting at all.

Body – Week 3 – Pt. 3

What do we need to create our desired outcomes?

Today, we will think a bit about why we do what we do and how we can do it best.

We will go a bit deeper into concepts we’ve already touched on and explore why fear limits us and love sets us free, and how our personal change is good for the whole.

Body – Week 4 – Pt. 1

How do we define ourselves?

In today’s lesson, we will come back to the beginning again in some ways and explore how our bodies interact with other people in new ways.

When we started, we realized that others often defined us, now, we can use this knowledge and experience consciously, to positively influence others with our way of being, while protecting ourselves.
