You’ve just had a harrowing experience - perhaps you missed an accident by a hair, woke up drenched in a sweat from a horrifying nightmare, or was spared from a near tragedy.
Although you’ve made it through the moment (and I’m glad you did! 
) now you’re understandably worked up. With a pounding heart and lost in the chaos of turbulent thoughts, it’s natural to seek out a refuge - somewhere where you know you are safe and loved. A place to relax, where you can slowly bring your heart rate back to normal and untangle the churning knot of thoughts back into stable serenity.
Find a place and a moment for yourself - it’s time to create your sanctuary

The taste of this tea when used in the recommended amounts and brewed for approximately 3 minutes is lightly floral with a pleasant, full-bodied aftertaste. Although the base recipe uses an equal amount (approximately one teaspoon) of each ingredient, feel free to adjust the amounts to suit your taste. For a stronger floral taste, increase the lavender. If you find the tea is on the bitter side, decrease the yarrow leaves (or substitute with yarrow flowers) and echinacea petals.
Honey can be substituted with a different sweetener of your choice, or left out entirely.
Disclaimers : This tea is designed to be a short-term aid in difficult moments. It is not meant to replace the long-term care of a physical or mental health specialist. If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please call 911 (or the emergency help number for your location).
Please use caution when trying new herbs for the first time. It is always a good idea to consult your trusted herbalist and/or medical professional to make sure a new herb is right for you and your body prior to use.
Instructions
-
Begin by collecting your ingredients - take approximately one teaspoon each of purple echinacea (cone flower), lavender, calendula, yarrow, and lemon balm. Place them into your tea pot or tea bag.
-
Bring clean, cold water to a soft boil. As soon as the water begins to bubble, remove it from the heat. Pour the water in a clockwise motion over your tea blend.
-
Allow the blend to steep for 3 minutes (this can be adjusted to your taste - for a stronger, more bitter tea allow more time. For a lighter brew, steep for less than 3 minutes). As the tea is steeping, hold your vessel in your hands and breathe the steam.
-
When you are ready, pour the tea/remove the bag. Find a comfortable, quiet, and safe place to bring your tea cup.
-
While holding your cup with both hands, lean over the cup so the steam can carry your words and say:
With these words, I build a sacntuary.
In this safe, sacred place, nothing can harm me.
The world outside is distant. Here, there is only peace.
I am safe. I am protected. Everything is okay and everything will be okay.
As it is and so mote it be.
-
Repeat the words as many times as needed until you feel in your heart that you are safe.
-
Relax and sip your tea. As it warms you from within, know that the powerful properties of each plant in the brew are working in tandem to ease away any stress, heal emotional wounds, and wrap your entire body in the energy of protection.
-
Stay in your sanctuary as long as you need to. When you feel ready, you can thank the space and exit. Rest assured that you can return whenever you need to.
