Travel Therapy

I have traveled a lot over the years and am constantly surprised even when returning to places I have visited in the past how much beauty and creativity I see all around me in houses, shops, restaurants and landscaping. I am back on the west coast in California starting my journey in LA traveling to the beautiful city of Ojai at the foot of the Topa Topa mountains just north of LA. I stayed for a few days at the beautiful Ojai Valley Inn and Spa.

Inhalation Therapy

It is a serene and peaceful compound that focuses on natural elements It’s a place of calmness and inner peace. In their own words ‘Here the feeling is one of well being and communion with your inner flow, of the harmony of cultures and the nurturing of your unique voice and vibration. International inspiration joins with personal exploration. Organic treatments bring out your true beauty’.

For me the quietness remoteness and lack of social media was a reminder of how much nature has to offer in its beauty of fulfilling all our senses. I could not walk anywhere without touching and then inhaling the glorious smell of lavender and rosemary. Here at the spa they call it inhalation therapy which has therapeutic effects on our mind and body. This experience reinforced why I choose to include Lavender in my Harmony candle. Lighting my Harmony candle will transport me back to Ojai on some of those cold Maryland winters days.
