The Challenge: 2 Minutes of Global Peace
The Equinox marks the moment the sun crosses the celestial equator, resulting in roughly equal amounts of day and night across the globe. It’s a time of transition, a natural reset, and a reminder of the interconnectedness of all living things.
This Equinox, wherever you are in the world, join us for 2 minutes of focused peace and gratitude. Imagine the ripple effect of positive energy spreading around the world as we all align our intentions.
The Global Peace Challenge will occur:
March 20th, 2025

Balanced Soul Stock Bottle Drop Counts
Here are the drop counts for a 5ml essential oil bottle. This will hold about 100 drops of essential oil (depending on the viscosity of the oil and the size of the reducer orifice).
Add your drops directly to the essential oil bottle. Then insert the reducer and cap tightly. Finally roll the bottle between the palms of your hands for at least 30 seconds. This allows the oils to fully blend with each other and it imparts a bit of your energy to the blend.
And remember: Affix a label right away!
Balanced Soul Stock Bottle
- 38 drops Atlas Cedarwood (Cedrus atlantica)
- 38 drops Sweet Orange (Citrus x sinensis)
- 19 drops Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens)
How to Use Balanced Soul Essential Oil Blend
Use Balanced Soul in a way that feels right to you to promote your inner peace and balance. Here are my suggestions:
- Diffuser: Depending on the size of your diffuser you can double the drops, if desired.
- Aromatherapy Inhaler: Combine the Balanced Soul essential oils in a small bowl or cup. Add your wick/cotton fluff. Use tweezers to transfer the saturated wick to the inhaler barrel and seal.
- Roll-on: Add Balanced Soul to a roller bottle. Top with Jojoba, or other favorite lipid carrier oil. Seal and rock to combine. Apply to pulse points, temples, back of neck, and bottoms of feet.
- Body Lotion or Oil: For a gentle fragrance, stir Balanced Soul into 1 ounce fragrance free lotion or neutral carrier oil. For a stronger aroma, the drops can be doubled.
Why These Essential Oils?
Atlas Cedarwood essential oil provides a grounding and stabilizing energy, anchoring us in the present moment and fostering a sense of security. This allows for a deeper connection to the intention of the Global Peace Challenge and promotes a feeling of being rooted in this collective energy.
Sweet Orange essential oil brings a bright, joyful energy, uplifting the spirit and encouraging optimism. Its cheerful aroma helps to dispel negativity and fosters a sense of hope and positivity, which is crucial for generating and amplifying positive vibrations during the challenge.
Rose Geranium essential oil acts as a bridge between the grounding and uplifting energies of the other oils, harmonizing emotions and promoting balance. It helps to soothe anxiety and stress, allowing us to fully embrace the Global Peace experience with an open and receptive heart and soul.
Combined, these essential oils create a synergy of grounding, uplifting, and harmonizing properties that are perfect for our 2 Minutes of Global Peace Challenge.
Please join me this Equinox to create a wave of positive energy that resonates around the globe. Together we can make a difference!
Be well, my friend.
