Here are some other things to keep in mind during this
transformative time:

· Avoid any big decisions.

· Go into the pain and the feelings. There is no way out but 
to get through it...and you will!

· Cry when you need to. Don't let others tell you to just get
over it.

· Be VERY selfish.

· Surround yourself with positive and happy people.

· Dare to ask for a lot of hugs.

· Get a dog or cat, or cuddle with the ones you have.

· Love yourself. Look in the mirror as often as you can and
say wonderful things about yourself aloud.

· Write your way through the feelings.

· Connect with other people who understand and can relate:
friends, counselors, message boards on websites, etc.

· Have a healthy lifestyle: eat well, exercise (at least get
some fresh air on the beach, at the park, etc.).

· Nourish your soul with beauty: watch movies, read poetry, 
go to museums.

· Meditate.

· Stay alone and appreciate the tranquility of your aloneness.

There's no rule for how long the pain of a heartbreak will last.

It may take weeks, months or even years. But using the
following special aromatherapy blend and ritual will soothe
your heart, nurture your wounded soul, and envelop you in
comfort. I recommend following this bath ritual every night
until you feel the pain has faded.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your Daily Bath Ritual
to Ease Your Broken Heart ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Prepare your aromatherapy blend by adding the following
essential oils to a 10-oz bottle and filling with organic
vegetable oil:

· 4 drops Rose Essential Oil · 15 drops Sandalwood Oil · 
9 drops Lavender Oil --------------------- Order what you 
need to create the blend yourself: ===>

---------------------

Run some warm water for your bath and add 10 drops of your
aromatic blend. Light some candles and turn off the lights.

Close your eyes and place your hands on your heart. Visualize
yourself filled and surrounded by a pink color. Take a few
deep breaths. Feel the color soothing your being. Say
aloud, "I love myself." Take a few deep breaths again.
Soak for at least 15 minutes.

After you get out of the bath, pour a few drops of the
aromatherapy blend into the palms of your hands and anoint 
your heart chakra (the seat of love: healing, grieving,
acceptance), and the third eye (integrating, detachment,
connection with your Higher Self).
