I take pleasure in rituals.

For example, each night before I turn out the lights and say good night, I check to
make sure the tiny blue glass bottle of Mother Nature’s “sleeping elixir” is there on
my night stand within easy reach.

Pure, unadulterated, lavender essential oil.

And every night before I go sleep, I pour one precious drop of lavender oil on my
pillowcase, and inhale it’s sweet, rich, woody, floral aroma–deeply–into my nostrils,
filling my brain, slowly stilling my mind.

This simple act has become my nightly ritual.

Why?

Because this magic elixir has changed my life.
