JIVAMUKTI COLLABORATION

In February 2022 I had the opportunity to join the Jivamukti ashram on the magical island of Crete. At that time I was already hungry for traveling and for having the chance of living in a community and in nature again. I didn’t know what to expect. I’ve never been in Greece before, I didn’t know anything about Jivamukti either, but I just knew I had to go.

Days were passing by, I started to adopt myself to their rhythm and practices. Eventually I got to know all the team members, guests and teachers. Some of them been already there for 3 months by the time I have arrived and yet welcomed me with such openness and kindness. In just a few days I was already feeling like I’m home and we all are a little family living in paradise during such chaotic times.

Since most of the team had been working, volunteering, offering their help tirelessly and at that time I just learned a new massage technique and was developing my Anahata treatment, I thought of offering a free treatment to the team, so they can also receive since they give so much. I transformed one of the rooms into a pop up therapy room, created a little altar and begun the treatments.

Emma Henry from London had arrived during my first week in Triopetra to teach us her incredible yoga classes. She was the first person I have offered my Anahata – heart opening holistic aromatherapy facial treatment.

Days and weeks were passing by and we were all so free, present and full of love. Our inner children were free to play and experience the joy of life again. It was just wonderful to experience again the power of community, nature, holistic practices aromatherapy and kindness in an ashram where people are so open and vulnerable.

During the last week of the Ashram, Camilla Veen and Moritz Ulrich have arrived to teach us and bless us with their angelic energy and immense knowledge. I offered them the Anahata treatment as well of course and they ended up booking a second session during their week.

The seed of the collaboration was planted by the angels during the second treatment with Camilla. We both felt like floating in the state of Samadhi and experiencing Ananda-bliss during the treatment.
I didn’t necessarily knew consciously what will come out of the whole experience but I just felt it was the beginning of something more important and meaningful. Months were passing by and we all returned home to our normal lives still carrying the high vibrations we created in togetherness.

A year later when I finally got the clarity about the seed we planted, I sent a video message to Camilla explaining my idea of the Jivamukti x templeofsun aromatherapy collaboration. Her response was just as wonderful, kind and supporting as she is by nature.

About the products:

The fruity and spicy, earthy but ethereal Jivamukti Essence will enhance your everyday life. When I designed the formula I have worked with the following keywords and translated them to the language of Mother Nature: #radical #wild #activism #true #colourful #fun #avant-garde #ethical #compassionate #liberation #devotion #love #transformation #unity.

Needless to say this alchemy process was beyond exciting. The result is just simply unexpected, surprising and mind-blowing to me. I’m so proud of this formula and I’m so grateful to share it with you.
But mostly, I’m so excited for your journey with it!

So in the final recipe 12 essential oils are blended together and representing the journey and philosophy of Jivamukti Yoga.
When you receive your formula, trust me, it will demand your attention. Sit down, add 1-2 drops/roll it into your palms, close your eyes and just start inhaling slowly and rhythmically 5-7 times. And just observe what it shows you, where it guides you, what it reveals about you that day.

The Jiva Essence will remind you that life is forever changing, so are you. And it’s okay. Not just okay, it is inevitable and exciting! It will boost your internal processes, give you a kick whenever you feel stuck, support you gently when you are in your letting go process, it opens up your playful side by reconnecting you with your inner child, or just simply reassures you, “yes you got this”, you have that raw power within you that enables you to stand tall and stable even in the wildest storms.

But when the storm hits you, it will also remind you, that you are not alone. Yoga is about community and life is so much better sharing it with others. Mother nature always represents this aspect so well. There’s a lot of movement happening energetically within the formula so will in you. The flowers in it will protect your heart and let you know that you are loved, not in a romantic way, but wildly.

It is light blue-green, representing the centre of compassion Anahata, the heart chakra, but it also carries Shiva-consciousness energy. Lord Shiva’s teachings gave me the main directions within the alchemy process. There’s nothing to fear, your bare, naked existence is pure love. You are fierce, radiant, powerful but most importantly a compassionate light being.

The 10ml pure essential oil version of the Jiva Essence’s ingredients are highly concentrated, laboratory tested essential oils. The highest quality you can get.

Please read the precautions before usage!

I advise you to add 1-2 drops into your hands, mornings and evenings, rub your palms together and inhale the scent 5-7 times deeply and rhythmically and just let it guide you. You can do the same right before you start your meditation and/or yoga practice also teachers can offer it during savasana. You can enhance your living space, yoga studio/class or working environment by adding 8-12drops into an aroma-diffuser (do not diffuse it around children under age of 6, people with sensitivity towards epilepsy).
The ingredients are known to aid digestion, and so using the blend regularly will help you to digest life’s every aspect. The essential oils also have an uplifting, harmonizing aspects to them. Some of the plants are believed to boost your circulation and support the function of the heart and your emotional processes.

When using it on your skin topically (never internally) make sure you do a skin-sensitising test first, by adding 1 drop onto your wrist. Remember it is phototoxic, so do not expose your skin to direct sun/UV light for 8 hours! I always suggest to use aromatherapy for 3 weeks daily. After 3 weeks keep a week of break of integration time/clearing your system and afterwards you can restart using it again safely.

The Roll On version is a subtle, less concentrated version of the mother blend. The essential oils are diluted with the golden queen of skin care, bio jojoba base oil. Jojoba makes it safe to use topically on your skin anywhere, even on thin/sensitive skin surfaces. In this version, the ingredients are the same of course, but the alchemy is different. I worked a little differently on the recipe according to the botanical perfumery. So the Roll On functions as an ethereal, high vibrational, natural perfume. Roll it onto your pulse points, neck, wrists, inner side of the ankles, onto your heart and just enjoy the magical scent gently carrying you through your day.

There are some sacred plants in the formula, giving you energetic protection as well.

While designing the Jiva Essence, I worked a lot with the Chakra system, so when I have chosen the 12 ingredients I made sure to touch and boost the entire energy body, kicking the engines in via Ajna Chakra, the 3rd eye centre.

So please feel free to use, especially the Roll On version, applying it onto your Chakra centres. Work every day or weekly with different Chakras and observe how it makes you feel, what it reveals about your inner temple.

Do not take any of the formulas internally!
Do not use during pregnancy and in case of epilepsy!
Make sure to read the precautions and feel free to reach out to me with any questions.

Order yours and please enjoy this very special formula:
