Take your lover up into the forest, away from campus, away from everyone. The pines stand like marching armies in neat rows forming natural lanes. You chase each other around and about the trees, laughing. You tire. And sit on the soft brown pine needles that feel like hay.  And you talk and talk and talk as the words and ideas float up amid the high branches. The sun begins to set and the shadows reach farther and farther along the ground until you can’t see where they end. A chill sets in the fresh, earthy and buttery air. He smells clean and good so you reach for him and kiss. You fall back onto the blanket of pine under the soldiers standing guard.

Here are the components and why they are included ::

WHITE FIR

for long term stress and feelings of fear.
The fir tree is the classic Christmas tree and is very aromatic. Throughout history, the fir tree has been used for medical purposes to treat fever, muscular pain, rheumatic pain and respiratory complaints.
Helps to focus and avoid reactivity. Evokes feelings of stability.

GRAPEFRUIT

for motivation and uplift.
Grapefruit oil revives the spirt and boosts confidence. It can also help ease muscle fatigue and stiffness.
Helps to promote a cheerful and positive outlook.

SAGE

for momentum and energy.
This hardy evergreen shrub has a clear, strong, spicy scent. The ancient Chinese believed sage was a cure for sterility.  And the Greeks used it in remedies to help the liver.
Helps to increase mobility and promote inner strength.
