I bought an imp of Energy off of sinandsalvation a while back. It works wonders!

This year I was diagnosed with breast cancer and went through a lovely, lovely round of treatment - surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and hormone therapy. Result: cancer pwned. Ancillary result: I am low on energy reserves. Hence, Energy oil.

I apply a drop to each chakra point. It smells, incidentally, fresh and lemony/citrussy - almost a "clean lemony laundry detergent" feeling. And boy does it work! It not only gives me energy, it gives me mental energy and motivation. I feel my thinking is sharper and I'm more motivated to do whatever task I have to do. It's like Concentration and Determination in that regard, but for me it gives me that extra boost of vim and vigor.

Quick review of the ENERGY utility blend:

I had a very full weekend, which included a six-hour round-trip to see a concert, company, and back-to-back nights of burlesque shows... All on very little sleep (thanks, in part, to my dogs waking me up every 45 minutes). Last night, I was dragging after having had six hours of sleep in about 60 hours, and I still had a show to get through - which I needed something to get me up for. Luckily, a little while back, I had joined a decant circle and gotten an imp of ENRGY and had it with me.

I found a quiet(ish) little nook, focussed my personal energy, and dabbed the oil at my wrists and in the hollow of my throat. The other girls and I were all fairly beat, and I was stuck standing as there was a) no where to sit and b) I couldn't risk blowing the snaps on my break-away pants. About 20 minutes after my brief meditation and focussing (and application), I noticed I felt wide-awake and was literally bouncing on the balls of my feet. I wasn't jittery or filled with any kind of adverse reaction - I just felt as though I had had a good night's sleep and was ready for anything. When I went on stage, I got a huge response - more than I have had previously in performing - and I felt completely "on." I hit all my marks, vamped, and even managed to stay at the party for about another two hours - when I had been planning to go home as soon as my act was off the stage.

ENERGY certainly worked well for what I needed it to - and I am always a doubting Thomas when it comes to oils I haven't blended myself, so I don't think it was a placebo effect. As a matter of fact, by the time I realised how awake I felt, I had completely forgotten that I had annointed myself, and it took about 5 minutes for me to realise the oil was taking effect.

My one fear was that when I got home, I wouldn't be able to sleep as a result, but in fact? I got home, put myself to bed, and had one of the best night's sleep I've had in over a week. YAY for Beth, indeed.
