How do I use compassion for myself in a diffuser?

Add Sandalwood 3 · Cypress 2 · Myrrh 2 · Frankincense 1 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.

What can I use instead of sandalwood?

Swap sandalwood for cedarwood or patchouli — same woody family. The blend will shift a little: cedarwood is dry and warm, like a wooden chest and pencil shavings.

When is the best time to use compassion for myself?

Use it while meditating, doing yoga, journaling, or simply sitting still for 10 minutes without your phone.

Compassion for myself · Sandalwood, Cypress, Myrrh blend

Whatever setbacks come, let them go and carry on feeling lighter. Five drops of sandalwood lay a smooth, creamy wood base, cypress adds cool needles, myrrh brings dry, deep wood, and frankincense closes warm and clear. Great for a bedroom or a meditation corner in the evening. For something a little fresher, add a drop of bergamot.

How it unfolds

As it settles. Cypress (fresh, dry and clean like conifer wood) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Sandalwood (creamy, smooth and long-lasting); myrrh (bittersweet, resinous, deep and classic); frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sink in and linger after the diffuser is off.
