This time of year many of us are focused on improving our health and wellness; we are looking for ways to balance our work obligations with the needs of our souls.
💚
This often feels so complicated and so overwhelming that far too many of us give up on it as simply being an impossible dream.
💜
While getting new and different routines in place can take trial, error, and time – it is Possible! You can find a balance that will fill your soul with peace.
✨
This week’s DIY is a quick little craft to help keep you inspired and filled with the confidence that you CAN create a healthy balanced life – it also makes an excellent gift for friends and family members who are also struggling.

*** Creating your Balance Sachet ***
As with all of our DIY’s, focus on your intention, be mindful and turn your craft into spell craft.
Ingredients to gather
- Essential oils – cedar, bergamot, lavender, peppermint, rosemary, sage, sweet orange, etc. You can use 1 or use a blend.
- 1 cup of uncooked rice
- Your choice of Dried Herbs – lavender, gotu kola, hops flowers, red clover, wild yam root, etc.
- Your choice of Crystals – clear quartz, guava quartz, iolite, lepidolite, spinel, etc.
- Empty bags – muslin or organza
- Mixing bowl and spoon – stainless steel, glass, or ceramic
Directions
- Gather your tools and materials into your chosen work space.
- Cast and set your circle (optional).
- Take a moment to focus your mind on your intention to bring balance into your life.
- Pour the rice into the bowl.
- Add about 10 drops of essential oil to start.
- Stir well. Give it a sniff from about a foot away. If it’s not strong enough, add more scent; if it’s too strong, add a little rice.
- Once you’ve found the perfect scent balance you can add a sprinkling of dried herbs to the rice and then stir again.
- Use a metal spoon to scoop the scented rice into the muslin bag.
- Place your chosen crystals into the bag.
- Pull the strings and knot it three times to make sure it stays closed. With each knot you tie, visualize what a balanced life looks like to you and complete each knot with “So Mote It Be” (or a similar affirmation) before continuing to the next knot.
- Let the sight and scent of this satchel remind you to check in with yourself and bring yourself back into balance.
