This edition explores authenticity.
These 33 cards are small helpers to bring you back to your most authentic self. Each one carries a piece of my artwork, where shapes, colors, and words invite you to explore: are you acting from your own truth, or from external voices, expectations, or fear? Feeling aligned and connected to yourself takes awareness and consistency. These cards are here to remind you of those small acts of awareness, one moment at a time.
In this booklet, each card is paired with:
A grounding affirmation
A few words on the theme behind the affirmation
A reflective question to guide you toward honest examples in your life
A simple scent experience to engage your senses and root the reflection in your body.
I hope the cards support you in being boldly honest with yourself, right here, right now.
TRUST
Scroll through to spot your card.
I trust my own timing.
Life doesn’t always move in straight lines. Sometimes it bends, angles, feels unexpected — yet it’s still aligned, because every turn is part of your path.
A question for you:
Where in your life can you widen the context (meaning expanding the timeline) and let things unfold in their own time?
A scent tip:
Place a drop of Geranium oil on your wrist and inhale slowly. Geranium eases chronic or acute worry about the future, and brings calm, centeredness and compassion.
I allow what is with no resistance.
Some paths feel heavy, others light. Some run alongside each other. But no matter how they look, they keep unfolding. There’s a curiosity in acceptance, even when the path feels unclear. Just keep walking.
A question for you:
Which situation in your life are you struggling to accept right now? And what might you be trying to protect by resisting it?
A scent tip:
Make a full-body bath at 32–40 °C and immerse yourself for 20 minutes or less. Once settled in the water, add a few drops of Lavender oil. The plant’s natural compounds help balance the nervous system, calm the body, and support deep relaxation and restoration.
I trust my own way of doing things.
We live in a world full of norms — from society, from our upbringing, from the people close to us. They’re meant to guide us, but they can easily become limits.
What if the “right way” is simply someone else’s idea that never belonged to you in the first place? You’re not stronger for doing things the “right” way. You’re stronger for doing them your way. Probably imperfect, maybe unconventional or misaligned with expectations, yet still worthy.
A question for you:
Where in your life are you copying someone else’s steps, or following a path simply because it’s familiar, even though your own voice is pointing somewhere else?
A scent tip:
Lean over freshly ground coffee and inhale deeply. There’s a hint of that coffee at night energy — doing something simply because it feels right to you. Let that rich, dark note remind you that your way doesn’t need approval.
I allow plans to change with ease.
Life rarely turns out exactly how we pictured it. Success isn’t about forcing the original plan through. It’s about adapting to the process as it unfolds.
A question for you:
Where are you holding onto how things “should” turn out, just to feel like you’ve succeeded?
A scent tip:
Massage a drop of Cypress oil diluted in a tablespoon of carrier oil (like Jojoba oil) into your wrists or ankles. Cypress is known for supporting circulation in the body and mirrors life’s natural flow.
I am surrounded by opportunities and they gonna light up when the timing is right.
Sometimes it feels like you’re stuck, as if nothing is moving forward. But often it’s not about lack — it’s about timing. Opportunities arise when you’re ready to meet them. Trust that your mind and body will know when it’s time to act, and until then, let yourself be where you are.
A question for you:
Can you shift from fear of missing out to trust in timing? Where might you still hold on to a sense of lack — that something is missing or not yet here?
A scent tip:
Light a candle and add 1–2 drops of Frankincense onto the wax. Frankincense beautifully connects mind and body, heightens spiritual awareness, and stills the mind. It supports trust and inner vision, allowing everything to simply be for now.
I allow myself to fail.
Sometimes reaching the lowest point in a situation isn’t bad, but rather a win. To fail means you tried, you stepped forward, and often it’s those so-called failures that move us further than staying safe ever could
A question for you:
Which recent failure can you celebrate?
A scent tip:
Helichrysum supports heavy emotions like grief, fear, and anger. When failure triggers shame or fear of loss, this scent helps soften and steady you. The oil is also widely loved in skincare. Make a simple face oil so you inhale as you apply for a double benefit.
Recipe: 30 ml jojoba oil 6–9 drops Helichrysum, 1% dilution
I trust my own voice.
A bay is a sheltered space — it holds the water and calms the waves. Your voice needs the same kind of quiet inner place, where it can gather strength before it flows outward — free from the voices and expectations of others.
A question for you:
Do you ever feel like you don’t sound like yourself, like you’re repeating someone else? What outside voices do you need to quiet so your own words can carry out clearly from that calm inner space?
A scent tip:
Bring fresh Eucalyptus into your shower and let the steam release its scent. It clears the airways and sharpens your focus so your voice can flow.
It’s safe not to know what comes next.
Not knowing what comes also means, anything can happen. What if it could become even better than you ever imagined? Our imagination is limited to what we know, but our possibilities are not.
A question for you:
Where are you hesitating because the next step feels uncertain and scary?
A scent tip:
Inhale Lavender. It eases fear, extreme emotions, and anxiety, and supports restful sleep often disrupted when trying to control outcomes.
Prepare a facial steam: bring 4 cups of water to a boil, let it cool for 5–10 minutes, add 2–5 drops of Lavender essential oil, lean over the bowl, place a towel over your head, and inhale for 3–5 minutes.
I surrender to the bigger vision.
How often have you had the same discussion again and again, hoping it would turn out differently this time? Maybe it’s not about pushing harder, but about asking what you’re really longing for behind the fight. Not compromise, not giving in, but pausing to ask: What is my true intention here? Sometimes when we see the deeper wish, we realize the details don’t matter as much. Then it’s easier to let go and trust: there is a bigger plan. Give it space.
A question for you:
Where are you holding tightly to plans because you’re afraid you won’t get what you want unless you stay in control?
A scent tip:
Light a piece of Palo Santo and let the smoke drift through the room. Watch how it spreads on its own — a reminder that your path, too, can unfold without you controlling every step.
INTENTION
Scroll through to spot your card.
I use my time with intention.
Balance means being there for others, without overlooking your own boundaries or neglecting your time. Your time is one of your most valuable resources, and if you don’t have a plan yourself, you fit perfectly into everybody else’s plan.
A question for you:
Where can you intentionally create a pocket of time for yourself today, rather than letting life simply fill your schedule?
A scent tip:
Warm a drop of Frankincense between your palms. Cup your hands over your nose and mouth and take three slow breaths before your next task or invitation. Its fresh, earthy, woody scent helps you turn inward, listen, and choose from that quiet, honest place instead of being pulled into stress or distraction.
I am holding my own promises.
Every time you keep a promise to yourself, your self-trust grows stronger. Distractions and excuses will always show up, and that’s normal. The turning point comes when you notice it, and choose to return to what you set out to do. That’s where confidence is built.
A question for you:
Where are you bending your boundaries? And how does it make you feel when you don’t follow through?
A scent tip:
Juniper Berry supports you in moving through inner blocks and strengthening willpower. It blends beautifully together with Rosemary and Grapefruit to add another layer of clarity, focus and lightness.
I allow myself to dream.
Dreams can feel exciting, but they can also feel risky, because if we allow ourselves to dream, we also risk being disappointed. Yet holding back doesn’t protect us, it only keeps us small. Opening space for your dreams is opening space for possibility.
A question for you:
Are you holding back a dream to protect yourself from possible disappointment?
A scent tip:
Place a drop of Clary Sage and a drop of Sweet Orange on a small woolen ball and inhale deeply. Clary Sage clears the mind and opens space for vision and new possibilities. Sweet Orange is uplifting and expansive, bringing optimism and playfulness. Together, they shift focus from fear of disappointment toward curiosity and joy. Keep the woolen ball in your pocket so you literally carry your dreams with you.
My intentions create my reality.
Focus gives direction. Without it, you drift. Like sharp contrasts in a picture, your intentions define what comes into view and what fades into the background.
A question for you:
What reality are you unconsciously creating by not choosing clearly?
A scent tip:
For clarity in setting intentions, diffuse Eucalyptus into the air. Sit for a couple of minutes in silence, taking in the distinct fresh scent to clear your head. Afterwards, write down what feels most important right now — one or two things or feelings you truly want to create. The ritual of clearing and then writing helps your mind and body align with your intentions.
I strengthen what comes naturally to me.
Roots don’t grow by force — they deepen naturally, into the soil that sustains them. The same is true for you: growth comes from following what already feels alive, not by pushing into what resists.
A question for you:
Where are you pushing for progress instead of flowing with what comes easily?
A scent tip:
Take a moment to notice what’s already here, instead of chasing something new.
Name 5 things you can see, 4 you can touch, 3 you can hear, 2 you can smell, and 1 taste on your tongue. You don’t need to search — it’s all already around you, simply waiting to be noticed.
I am brave. I take decisions and I follow through.
Bravery isn’t just in the moment you make a decision — it’s in your ability to stay with it. The first step is often the hardest, but it sets something in motion. That momentum can carry you forward, even when doubt and uncertainty almost always show up right after.
A question for you:
What decision is waiting for you? Can you commit and fully stand behind it?
A scent tip:
Add a bit of Ginger to your life, a few slices in your tea, in a meal, or as an essential oil. Its warmth awakens inner fire, sparking self-confidence and fuels momentum to help you follow through, even when motivation feels low.
I am using my power from a place of calmness and patience.
Strength doesn’t mean always pushing forward. It rests in calmness, in the patience to sense when it’s time to act, and when it’s time to wait.
A question for you:
Is your patience a sign of trust that things take the time they need, or are you just waiting because you wish you were already further ahead?
A scent tip:
Create a simple massage oil: Mix 20 drops of Sweet Orange into 30 ml of carrier oil (or 1 drop into 1 tablespoon). Massage gently into your lower abdomen for 5 minutes. Sweet Orange has a ‘harmonizing’ effect, meaning when applied it both calms the nervous system and boosts cheerfulness, reflecting how powerful energy arises from inner calmness.
I choose authenticity over strategy.
Imperfect, visible, and raw. Authenticity begins where you stop adjusting yourself to fit or to control how others might react, and instead say what’s truly inside you. When you let go of trying to predict or steer the outcome, you create space for honesty and real connection. Holding on to how it “should” land only builds an artificial situation.
A question for you:
Where are you acting in a way to control how others respond, instead of being fully yourself?
A scent tip:
Patchouli – grounding, earthy, even a little sensual. It steadies the mind when it drifts into overthinking, strategizing, or trying to control others. Place a drop on your wrist and let the aroma remind you to act with clarity and honesty, rather than analyzing the “smartest” move.
HEALING
Scroll through to spot your card.
I deserve care.
The most important corner to take care of is your own. You create it, and you rest in it. Like a little nook, it’s not about big gestures but about giving yourself that safe space, made by you, for you.
A question for you:
What’s one small way you can care for yourself today?
A scent tip:
Apply a nourishing face mask and add a drop of Geranium oil. Geranium naturally tones the skin and brings a nourished, glowing feeling. Its scent supports a sense of self-love.
I am rooted in my own rhythm.
There is an inner source with a natural flow. When you stop rushing to keep up with others, you can feel it guiding your own rhythm. Think of walking in the city — how often do you adjust your pace to someone in front of you, instead of just walking in your own tempo?
A question for you:
Where in your life are you trying to keep up with someone else’s pace instead of following your own?
A scent tip:
Massage a drop of Vetiver, diluted in a bit of body lotion, into your feet and walk barefoot for a couple of minutes. Vetiver is grounding and centering, bringing a sense of security. Extracted from deep, aromatic roots, it can support us the way roots support the plant.
Awareness frees me from reacting out of fear.
Fear often makes us react from the shadow — the part of us that acts on impulse instead of choice. But fear isn’t who you are. Awareness gives you the space to step out of the darkness and respond differently.
A question for you:
Where do you react from your shadow side instead of your calm, reflective self?
A scent tip:
Keep a bottle of Clary Sage nearby and inhale when fear or anger rises. Its name itself speaks of clarity and healing. It has similar calming properties like Lavender, but it also clears the mind and softens impulsive emotional intensity. Instead of getting stuck in negativity, it helps you step back and choose a response rather than a reaction.
I rest my body when it tells me to rest.
Many of us don’t even recognize tiredness when it shows up.
It’s not only yawning. Often it appears as low focus, scattered thoughts, irritability, or the need to withdraw. The body speaks quietly, but honestly.
A question for you:
How does tiredness show up in your body?
And how could you give yourself a moment of rest today, when you notice it?
A scent tip:
Forest oils can be especially soothing when your mind feels exhausted. Place three drops of Pine or Siberian Fir on the shower floor and turn on the hot water. As the steam rises and warm water runs over you, let your body relax. A small forest moment, just for yourself.
I embrace time alone to self-regulate.
Alone time should feel sheltered, yet spacious and freeing.
It’s not about isolating yourself, but about giving yourself a place to land, breathe, regulate, and feel restored.
A question for you:
How do you use your time alone? Does it become a safe space filled with possibility and lightness, or does it make you restless, so you look for something to distract yourself with?
A scent tip:
Take a walk in nature, a park, or a garden, and notice the scents around you — damp moss, pine, autumn leaves, grass, wildflowers, sea breeze?
Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and let the aromas fill your body.
I am healing my own wounds.
One of the hardest things you’ll ever do is heal alone.
Sitting with grief, staying in the discomfort, instead of trying to fill the void with distractions or others.
Your private cave might feel dark and painful, but it’s also where you become whole.
A question for you:
Where are you distracting yourself right now, instead of staying with what you actually feel?
A scent tip:
Before bed, massage a few drops of a body oil with Copaiba and Lavender onto your chest (see recipe below).
Copaiba comes from the resin of a tree and nourishes the body the way resin heals the tree itself.
Lavender calms the nervous system and invites deep, restorative sleep — the foundation of all healing.
Together, they support both body and heart.
A sleep oil:
30 ml Sesame Seed oil
8 drops Copaiba
12 drops Lavender
(essential oils, approx. 2.5% dilution)
I embody what i need in the moment.
There are times when we need to wrap ourselves in quiet, protection, and retreat.
And there are moments when we feel ready to open, to be seen, to rise to the surface again. The body often knows long before the mind which shape supports us right now.
Everything you let in — food, products, words, images, atmospheres — touches you more deeply than you think. That’s why it’s worth choosing with awareness:
What strengthens you? What protects you? What helps you unfold?
A question for you:
Do you feel more at ease right now when you’re covered or uncovered, protected or open? And what is your body truly asking for in this phase of your life?
A scent tip:
Make a simple bath salt and let your body soak in what feels nourishing.
Eucalyptus clears the mind, Cypress supports you through transitions, Lavender calms, and Lemon refreshes and cleanses.
Bath salt recipe:
415 g / 1.5 cups sea salt
1 tablespoon Sweet Almond oil
4 drops Eucalyptus
6 drops Cypress
8 drops Lavender
8 drops Lemon
Use: Stir about one third of the mixture into a warm bath.
I fill my own cup.
The most important well you can tend to is the one within yourself.
When your cup runs dry, exhaustion and overwhelm quietly seep into everything else —
your patience, your clarity, your presence.
Real self-care begins with giving yourself what replenishes you.
A question for you:
Where do you rely on others or things to feel whole?
A scent tip:
Ylang Ylang, distilled from the flower, supports self-love, compassion, and inner trust.
It can release endorphins, calm the body, and gently activate your senses at the same time. It’s also known as a natural aphrodisiac.
For a warm aroma compress, add 5 drops to warm (not boiling) water, soak a cloth, wring gently, and place it on your chest. Enjoy the scent, the weight, and the warmth until the cloth cools to body temperature. Repeat 3–4 times.
RELATION

I shine from within.
Your heart holds a light that grows when you share it.
When you show up as your true self, your alignment becomes something others can feel — a steady glow, not a performance. Joy that rises naturally shines through your eyes, your posture, your presence.
When we care for ourselves and step out of roles that were never ours,
we become steadier partners, friends, parents, colleagues, humans.
Our balance turns into warmth, the most natural kindness we can offer the world.
A question for you:
Where in your life do you feel your own glow — or where have you felt it clearly before — and who around you might feel supported by that light?
A scent tip:
Mist your face with rose hydrosol. It calms and rebalances the skin, softens the surface, restores pH, and adds gentle hydration that plumps the cells — the kind of moisture that leaves a subtle, natural glow.
I choose people that choose me.
The power of being reflected and chosen back is undeniable. And when someone doesn’t choose you, it’s an invitation to choose yourself. That’s where you win.
A question for you:
When others don’t choose you, do you choose yourself, or try to win them over and lose yourself?
A scent tip:
Make a cup of Chamomile tea and inhale the steam before sipping. Chamomile soothes when you feel sensitive or misunderstood. Finding your people takes time — let go of those who don’t choose you, so you make space for the ones who do.
I don’t shrink myself to be liked.
When someone feels harsh or inflexible, it’s easy to shrink, adjust yourself, or soften more than you want to. But don’t compromise who you are just because you fear their rigidity. Their hardness doesn’t have to land in you, their edges don’t have to shape your truth.
A question for you:
When do you notice yourself adapting because someone comes across as harsh, and what might happen if you didn’t make yourself smaller in that moment?
A scent tip:
Before a challenging conversation, diffuse a few drops of Bergamot. Its uplifting scent eases social anxiety and stress, helping you enter the situation with a calmer, more confident mindset.
I honor my needs without overexplaining.
Sometimes it takes courage to say what you need and let it stand without softening or justifying it. The silence afterward can feel uneasy, but you don’t have to explain yourself for your need to be real.
A question for you:
When do you start overexplaining instead of simply standing by what you need?
A scent tip:
Create a small oil blend to massage behind your ears — Frankincense grounds, Bergamot eases stress, and Sweet Orange uplifts and brightens the mood. A simple reminder to stay steady in the vulnerability of voicing your needs.
Recipe:
15 ml Jojoba oil
3 drops Frankincense
4 drops Bergamot
4 drops Sweet Orange
I inspire and provoke.
When you step into who you really are, your honesty and presence will inspire some people while others may feel challenged.
It’s part of blooming — you can’t unfold fully if you shrink yourself to fit in.
Who you are is your potential. Maybe growth is simply giving that potential space.
A question for you:
Where in your life do you hold back because you’re afraid of being “too much”?
A scent tip:
Place a drop of Ginger on your wrist and inhale deeply.
Its heat boosts confidence and decisiveness, helping you show up bold without shrinking yourself.
I am not responsible for other’s choices.
It can be a relief to let go of responsibility that was never meant to be yours.
You don’t have to fix things for others or protect them from the path they need to walk themselves.
You may mean well, but you can never fully know what is right for someone else — you see life through your own filter, not theirs.
When you give others the space to find their own way, you create more room, strength, and calm in your own life.
Their choices are theirs. Your choices are yours.
A question for you:
Where are you taking on responsibility that isn’t actually yours — and what might ease in you if you let it go?
A scent tip:
Massage a drop of Peppermint oil onto your temples. Its refreshing clear scent eases tension (especially headaches) and sharpens your focus, helping you mind your own business.
I am enough, exactly as I am.
Let go of the pressure to be perfect. Perfection is subjective and only keeps you chasing something that never ends.
What makes you truly magnetic is the unfiltered, real version of you.
You don’t have to chase anything or impress anyone.
When you show up as yourself, the right things fall into place naturally.
A question for you:
Where are you performing to get something, instead of simply being yourself?
A scent tip:
Trace a thin line of Cypress oil (diluted in carrier oil) along the outside of your arms, from shoulders to wrists. Cypress is associated with grounding, stability, and protection; this simple gesture helps you feel your own inner strength and the personal space that is yours.
I dare to be seen for everything I stand for.
The most precious parts of us are often the ones we hide the most — our heart, our beliefs, our dreams. Being visible can feel risky. It’s easier to blend in, where mistakes seem smaller and no one gets too close to the vulnerable places.
But your true strength lives in what you’re willing to reveal. Your presence gains power and becomes more magnetic when you stop covering yourself. What’s real in you touches people, that’s what makes you unmistakably you.
A question for you:
Where can you move through shame and share your opinions, dreams, and fears more clearly?
A scent tip:
Mist your favorite fragrance onto your collarbones or neck.
Scent speaks to emotion, not logic — it lets people sense you before their mind steps in.
A simple way to let your softness be seen without saying a word.
