How do I use cross-legged on the cushion in a diffuser?

Add Patchouli 2 · Lavender 2 · Rosemary 2 · Citronella 2 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 patchouli?

Swap patchouli for cedarwood or sandalwood — 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 cross-legged on the cushion?

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

Cross-legged on the cushion · Patchouli, Lavender, Rosemary blend

Name: cross-legged on the cushion
Yield: 8 drops
Ingredients: 2 drops Patchouli essential oil; 2 drops Lavender essential oil; 2 drops Rosemary essential oil; 2 drops Citronella essential oil

Sitting cross-legged on the cushion, back straight, shoulders relaxed. Patchouli, lavender, rosemary, and citronella share two drops each: damp earth, gentle herbs, green leaves, and a fresh lemony-grass streak. Lovely for a bedroom or a yoga corner in the evening. Citronella stands out quite a bit; for a deeper scent, cut it to one drop.

How it unfolds

On opening. Rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating); citronella (strong, green and slightly lemony) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
