Working for my Self, weekends and public holidays have little impact on my life. I choose my own hours and enjoy my work, so I work a lot. This Easter has been a doozy and it caught me off guard.
I have a specific discomfort within my body that has caused issues in the past and I’m diligently working to resolve. I live with it daily and so it’s usually somewhere on my mind and l thrive on those moments when I actually forget about it.
My Dad asked me about magnesium oil, meaning could I get some for him. I’d been thinking about making it for over a year and had a large container of quality Magnesium Chloride flakes in the back of my car all that time. Dad’s question, at the correct time, gave me the incentive to pull that container out and make up some oil. It’s very easy. Equal parts MgCl₂ flakes dissolved in warm steam distilled water. Put it in a glass spray bottle and voila, you have Magnesium Oil. Being an Oiler, I was strongly tempted to add some essential oils, but refrained 🙂
That night I sprayed some oil onto my pelvis and ouchie!! It stung! My skin immediately turned red. This is where I went into Self abuse and pushed through it. It took a while for the discomfort to settle down. I had immediately diluted Dad’s bottle as he’s more sensitive and verbal about it than I am.
He slept well that night. I woke up a few times feeling a strange discomfort. The next morning was Good Friday and my body was feeing very odd, relaxed in some ways and working to adjust itself. That was the start to a doozy day. Strange thoughts kept entering my mind, I felt as though I was in a deep detox and was being challenged by those symptoms. Much was coming up emotionally. It began to settle in the evening and then started up again. It wasn’t until early the next morning that I began to feel like my usual Self again.
I’ve had a few friends also share with me strange emotional experiences over this Easter weekend. Earlier today someone posted about the craziness from the full moon this weekend. There’s a full moon? We’ve also moved out of daylight savings and that always upsets a few people as well as domestic animals.
Not to mention Easter has coincided with April 1st. The first thing I saw on FB this morning was a new release by doTERRA called Universalis which contains every oil they’ve produced. What a mess! is what I thought. The whole thing felt odd and it wasn’t until I looked at the SKU number that I saw it read APRF00l5. Can you read what that says?
As for the Magnesium Oil, I’m finding it fascinating. If I apply regularly throughout the day there’s no ouchie. If I go to the gym and reapply, yes ouchie. This is telling me that my own magnesium supplies within my body are low and get used up easily. I do love how my body talks to me 🙂
How you have been this Easter?
Have you noticed any interesting thoughts or behaviours?
Do you take magnesium?

The magnesium oil I use does have some essential oils in it. It does not leave that nasty salt build up that would cause issues with my skin.
Chamomile tincture, MSM, Essential Oils of Lemongrass, Sweet Marjoram & Vetiver. I really like it.
So maybe play with your oils a bit.
The last few days I have been regularly blasted with ELF in my left ear. Doing my work and cutting it off. Yesterday was very productive, then I hit a slump in the afternoon and could not get motivated for the rest of the day. But I had a hard time getting to sleep Friday night – I think too much oils too late at night (Well, Self-Sabotage) and then woke up at 5:30 am – so that could have caused the burnout. Today, Easter, here in the US, so far so good. Productive morning and heading to Brunch with a friend.
