Essential oils are not just about smelling nice.

Used with intention, they can become a pause.

A breath.
A pattern interrupt.
A way to come back into your body.
A way to ask a better question.

When you feel out of sync, it is easy to keep pushing.

But what if one oil, one breath, and one intentional question helped you notice what your body, energy, or animal may already be showing you?

That is part of what we’ll explore in:

Out of Sync? Your Animal Already Knows
What nature and animals reveal when you’ve drifted from your own rhythm

with Carol Komitor + Kate Brown

May 27 | 7 pm ET | $11
Bring one oil, a journal, and your curiosity.
Your animal is welcome to be nearby if they choose — but they do not have to be.

Nature does not rush rhythm.

The sun rises.
The seasons shift.
Animals rest, move, listen, respond, and return.

But humans?

We often override.

We push through when we need to pause.
We keep going when our body asks for rest.
We dismiss what we sense because we cannot explain it yet.

And sometimes our animals notice the drift before we do.

They may become more watchful.
More clingy.
More reactive.
More quiet.
More present.

Not because we are doing something wrong.

Because they are aware.

In Out of Sync? Your Animal Already Knows, Carol Komitor and I will explore how animals and nature may reveal when you’ve drifted from your own rhythm — and how you can begin listening differently.

Sometimes being out of sync does not feel dramatic.

It can feel like answering one more email when your body is asking you to pause.

It can feel like saying, “I’m fine,” when you know you are not fully settled.

It can feel like moving through the day on autopilot, even though something inside you is asking for a different rhythm.

That’s where so many of us start overriding ourselves.

Not intentionally.

We just get used to pushing past the small signals.

The tightness.
The fatigue.
The irritability.
The feeling that the house is tense.
The sense that your animal is responding to something you have not named yet.

Your animal may not know the details of what you are carrying.

But they may feel the shift.

We’ll explore what nature and animals may reveal when you’ve drifted from your own rhythm — and how essential oils, energy awareness, and inner knowing can help you begin finding your way back.

Have you ever walked into the house carrying the whole day with you… and your animal seemed to know before you said a word?

Maybe they followed you from room to room.
Maybe they watched you more closely.
Maybe they became clingy, restless, reactive, or unusually quiet.

And maybe you thought, “What is going on with them?”

But what if they were noticing something in you?

Animals are often aware of the subtle shifts we miss when we are busy pushing through.

They may notice when your breath changes.
When your pace gets faster.
When your energy feels scattered.
When the room feels a little “off.”

That is what Carol Komitor and I will be exploring in:

This is not one more thing to fix.

It is a chance to pause, listen, and begin finding your way back to your own rhythm.

Have you been visiting garden centers for flowers, vegetable plants and herbs this month? Seeing the beautiful lavender plants reminded me what a gift we have from so many flowers and herbs.

Using pure, therapeutic grade essential oils we can benefit from the properties of plants and trees.

If May has been a busy month for you, take a moment and experience the soothing benefits of lavender.

It can help soothe overwhelm and agitation. It can help us slow down if we are feeling a sense of burnout, stress, and fatigue. It can help us find inner peace, emotional safety and self-acceptance.

If you have been experiencing any of these things, take a few minutes and try this:
*Open your lavender oil and place 2-3 drops in your hands.
*Gently rub your palms together to activate the oil.
*Bring your palms near your nose, forming a scent tent and slowly inhale. If the oils are too intense, only bring your palms as close as you feel comfortable.
*Exhale and say this simple affirmation: "I am safe, calm, and grounded."
*Repeat these steps for a few minutes.

Use this simple process any time you feel anxious, tense, or emotionally flooded.

I hope Lavender helps you find a place of peace and serenity.

In North-Central Illinois, with our state parks and tall grasses and wooded areas that border the Illinois River, this time of year is especially dangerous to our animals because of the ticks and fleas. But the rising temperatures and humidity cause peak activity for breeding no matter where you live.

Ticks can transmit life-threatening illnesses to dogs and cats. Blood loss, due to heavy flea or tick infestation on your pet can cause severe, or even fatal, anemia. Fleas and their bites can cause uncomfortable and intense scratching, hair loss or skin infections. So, it's important to do what you can to eliminate the risk and protect your pet.

I would like to share an essential oils blend I have used, as well, as a few other tips for this time of year.

"Woodland Boundary" Tick Blend:
Use 5 lbs of diatomaceous earth (for 1 pound divide these oils by 5) and combine these oils to the earth:
60 drops of Cedarwood
40 drops of Kunzea
30 drops of Palo Santo
30 drops of Geranium
20 drops of Thyme
10-15 drops of Oregano
15 drops of Black Spruce
Then sprinkle this earth blend around your yard to reduce or eliminate fleas and ticks.

Other important strategies to protect your pet:
- Check your pet's coat after they have spent time outdoors, especially near head, neck or ears.
- Mow your lawn regularly and keep grasses around the border of your yard trimmed or short. If you can, keep your pets from those areas.
- Wash bedding, blankets or towels frequently to eliminate larvae or eggs that may have traveled in your home on your pet.
- If you find a tick, it is important to remove it carefully and completely. You can search online for proper removal techniques.

I hope you find these ideas helpful. Let's keep everyone safe! 🐾

Did you miss our workshop on Wednesday night?

Carol Komitor and I taught, "Do You Feel Frazzled? Your Animals Feel It Too!"

We had such great feedback from those who attended in person, we thought we would open up the opportunity to register and receive the replay of the event.

If you would like to learn more about how your animals respond, and what they can teach you, when you are feeling frazzled and pulled in too many directions, this is the class for you!

The weekend is the perfect time to unwind from the week and tune in to what your body, and perhaps your animals, have to teach you about what you are feeling.

Small shifts change how your body holds the day.

And when your body shifts…
you don’t lose that sense of connection.
You return to it.

To return to a sense of peace, calm or centeredness, we don't have to make a major change in our day, we can choose a simple change to return to the feeling we desire.

Things like:
- stepping outside for a few minutes
- slowing down how you’re moving
- placing a drop of oil in your hands and slowly taking a breath
- letting something wait instead of pushing through
- asking for support instead of carrying it alone

Receive this simple reminder - you didn't lose your connection. But these small shifts help you return to it.

Try one of these and let us all know what you experienced!

Copaiba — Staying Connected to What Opened

Copaiba doesn’t create a big shift.
It supports the one that’s already begun.

Maybe you went on a retreat, did a meditation, experienced a healing session or took a walk in nature and something shifted within.

When we experience a shift, the body often needs help staying steady in that openness.

Using Copaiba essential oil can help us move from “I felt that once..." to “I can return to that.”

Put a drop of (diluted) Copaiba over your heart, along the spine or simply inhale the oil from your hands or in the bottle. Take a slow deep breath and listen quietly.

What does your body have to say to you, what does it need in this moment?
What do you want to hold on to from the shift or opening you experienced recently?

Because the shift isn’t something you have to recreate.
It’s something you can choose to return to.

If you would like to share in the comments any insights or reactions, or simply how you feel using Copaiba, I'd love to hear from you.

Stay connected on this page, or DM with your email to be added to my monthly newsletter mailing list, to learn more tips like these to stay connected and centered.

Kate 💜
