Winter Wellness: A Simmering Spell for Home and Heart

By Tracy Schruder

As the winter months settle in, our homes can quickly become dry and stale. I’ve created a special recipe, inspired by my work at A Lighter Touch healing space, to bring warmth, abundance, and positivity into your space.

The Witches Brew Air Humidifier and Odour Killer

This blend is more than just a pleasant aroma – it’s a spell of intention, crafted to uplift and nourish your home and heart.

• 8-10 cups of water
• 1 tbsp whole cloves
• 4 tbsp of cinnamon or 4 sticks (a powerful spice and carrier of energy)
• Your desires and intentions

Instructions:

1. Combine water, cloves, and cinnamon in a pot. Boil gently for 10 minutes, allowing the aroma to fill your space.
2. Speak your desires and intentions into the mixture, like “I invite warmth and love into my home” or “I welcome abundance and positivity into my life.” ( Before each Reiki or meditation session I set the intention “I am open and receptive. I sense and send all energies where necessary, removing all that does not belong, leaving space for newness.”)
3. Let the brew sit until it finishes steaming, then repeat 2-3 times a day, adding water as needed.
4. Cool and Strain the leftover liquid and use it as a nourishing body water or perfume. ( In my case I use it as a after care tool. )

A Healing Touch

At A Lighter Touch, I share this blend with my clients, bottling it up as a reminder of their session’s benefits. The aroma evokes feelings of relaxation and calm, transporting them back to their treatment room. It’s a potent reminder of the care and intention infused into each session.

The Power of Ingredients:

• Cinnamon is a carrier of energy and a symbol of warmth and abundance. As you infuse your space with this blend, you’re inviting positivity and warmth into your life.
• Cloves bring protection, purification, and clarity to the mixture. Their warm, spicy aroma drives out stagnation and negativity, making space for growth and renewal.

Benefits:

• Hydrates dry winter air
• Eliminates unwanted odours and purifies the air
• Creates a cozy, inviting atmosphere
• Supports respiratory health and well-being
• Amplifies your intentions and desires

I hope this Witches Brew brings warmth and light to your home and heart this winter.
