How do I use sitting quietly with myself in a diffuser?

Add Sandalwood 5 · Tea Tree 3 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 sitting quietly with myself?

Use it at the end of the day, on weekends, while reading or right after a shower — whenever you want everything to slow down a beat.

Sitting quietly with myself · Sandalwood, Tea Tree blend

A little introspection, just sitting still with yourself. Five drops of sandalwood build a warm, creamy wood base, and three drops of tea tree slip in a fresh, sharp green streak, like light through a crack in the door. Unusual yet interesting, both calm and clean. Good for a meditation corner or reading room on afternoons when you don't feel like talking. If tea tree stands out too much, cut it to two drops and let sandalwood lead.

How it unfolds

On opening. Tea tree (green, medicinal and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.
