An Essential Oil Blend for Abundance: Harvesting What Is Already Within
What if abundance isn’t something we have to chase?
What if, instead of constantly reaching for the next thing, we paused long enough to notice what is already growing in our lives?
This month, I’ve been exploring the theme of Harvest Within—the idea that we all carry something within us that is ready to be recognized, nurtured, and shared.
Sometimes it is kindness.
Sometimes it is courage.
Sometimes it is wisdom we’ve earned through difficult seasons.
Sometimes it is simply the ability to keep showing up.
And sometimes abundance looks surprisingly ordinary: a garden full of flowers, a good conversation, a quiet morning, a body that carried us through another day.
I wanted to create an essential oil blend that captured that feeling.
An Abundance Essential Oil Blend
This is a warm, uplifting blend with a little grounding underneath it. I love it for meditation, journaling, yoga, morning rituals, or anytime you want to intentionally shift your attention toward what is already good and growing.
My Abundance Blend
- 3 drops Wild Orange
- 3 drops Tangerine
- 2 drops Lavender
- 1 drop Roman Chamomile
- 1 drop Patchouli
The citrus oils bring brightness and joy. Lavender and Roman Chamomile soften the edges, while Patchouli gives the blend a grounding quality.
Together, they create a blend that feels both uplifting and rooted.
And isn’t that what abundance really is?
Not constantly reaching higher without ever being grounded.
But learning how to feel grateful for what is here while still allowing yourself to grow.
How to Use Your Abundance Blend
There are several ways you can incorporate this blend into your daily rituals.
Diffuse it
Add the appropriate number of drops for your diffuser according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Turn it on while you practice yoga, journal, drink your morning coffee, or simply sit quietly for a few minutes.
Let the aroma become a reminder:
There is already something here to harvest.
Create a personal roller blend
For a 10 mL roller bottle, add your essential oils and fill the remainder with a carrier oil such as jojoba or fractionated coconut oil.
Use a skin-safe dilution appropriate for your needs and follow the safety recommendations for each essential oil.
Apply to pulse points when you want a sensory reminder of your intention.
Make it part of your yoga practice
Before beginning your practice, place a drop or two of the diluted blend in your hands, rub your palms together, and pause.
Take a slow breath.
Ask yourself:
What quality do I already have in abundance?
Maybe it is patience.
Maybe compassion.
Maybe strength.
Maybe humor.
Maybe resilience.
Maybe the ability to begin again.
You don’t have to manufacture something you don’t have.
Sometimes the practice is simply noticing what is already there.
Abundance Is Not Just About More
We live in a culture that often equates abundance with accumulation.
More money.
More accomplishments.
More followers.
More productivity.
More things checked off the list.
But I’m becoming increasingly interested in a different definition.
Abundance is noticing.
Noticing the people who love us.
Noticing the lessons we’ve learned.
Noticing the skills we’ve developed.
Noticing the beauty growing right outside our door.
Noticing that even after difficult seasons, something inside us may still be blooming.
My garden has been reminding me of this all summer.
A flower doesn’t apologize for being exactly what it is.
A zinnia doesn’t compare itself to a rose.
A sunflower doesn’t wonder whether it is producing enough.
It simply grows.
And eventually, it gives something away.
That feels like a pretty beautiful definition of abundance to me.
A Simple Abundance Ritual
Try this sometime this week.
Light a candle or diffuse your Abundance blend.
Sit comfortably and take several slow breaths.
Then ask yourself three questions:
What am I harvesting?
What have I learned, developed, survived, created, or cultivated?
What is growing?
What part of my life is still unfolding?
What do I have enough of to share?
Maybe it is kindness.
Maybe encouragement.
Maybe laughter.
Maybe your time.
Maybe your experience.
Maybe simply your presence.
You don’t have to give everything away.
But there is something powerful about realizing that what we have cultivated within ourselves can become nourishment for someone else.
The Harvest Within
The garden teaches us that growth doesn’t happen all at once.
There is a season for planting.
A season for tending.
A season for waiting.
And eventually, a season for harvesting.
Our lives are much the same.
We don’t always recognize the seeds we planted until much later.
The patience we practiced.
The boundaries we learned.
The grief we moved through.
The courage we found.
The lessons that came from things not going according to plan.
Those things become part of our harvest.
So this month, rather than asking yourself, What do I need more of?
Try asking:
What do I already have in abundance?
Then pause long enough to notice it.
That may be where the real abundance begins.
A Note About Essential Oil Safety
Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts and should be used thoughtfully. Always follow the manufacturer’s dilution recommendations, use appropriate ventilation when diffusing, and consider individual allergies, sensitivities, medications, pregnancy, pets, and other health considerations. Never ingest essential oils unless specifically directed by a qualified healthcare professional trained in their safe use. When applying oils to the skin, dilute appropriately and perform a patch test when appropriate.
