Cone of Silence

[Miyabi]

For use when all the f&*cking noise is getting to be too much. A particularly useful reset after social media, especially when you’ve read the comments. Place a few drops on a white candle and a drop on your palms and let it gooooooooo. The components include French lavender, frankincense, steam-distilled Roman chamomile and hops flower.

It smells of a gentle lavender (v. Peace, which is pretty much knock-you-out lavender). I tried it at one point as instructed--dressing a chime candle and anointing my palms, and while I didn't feel a rush of peace, I did feel better afterward.

I'd like to try putting this on my palms and going for a walk, since that's usually how I decompress from my day.

I find Cone of Silence helpful. It's a gentle lavender, and I've actually used it at work to let some of the passive aggressive comments not get to me. I think this would also be helpful for those with anxiety impacting your sleep. I just found it to be gentleness personified.
