Truth be told about ROOTED 1 it was a beginning. A good one. But when I held the first deck in my hands, I knew there was more to say. More to offer. A deeper layer I hadn't quite reached yet. ROOTED 2 is that layer. For those of you who've been buying bundles you'll have seen ROOTED 1 card deck. As I've been simplifying and letting go of some deep stuff and heartache I realised ROOTED 2 is that layer.
What these cards actually are
ROOTED 2 is a set of 9 vibrational alignment cards. Each one carries a single sentence - rooted in the teachings of Florence Scovel Shinn and the principles of Abraham-Hicks - designed to anchor you in the present moment and reconnect you with your own worth.
They're not affirmations in the traditional sense. They're not about convincing yourself of something you don't believe. They're about returning. Coming back to what's already true about you, when the noise of the day has made you forget.
Why they belong with the oils
Here's what I know about the nervous system: it responds to ritual. To repetition. To moments of deliberate presence.
Magnificent Night Oil works while you sleep. Black Seed Oil - rich in Thymoquinone - is one of nature's most powerful antioxidants, supporting your skin barrier, calming inflammation and protecting against oxidative stress through the night. Moringa and Calendula nourish and soften. Pomegranate Seed Oil supports cellular renewal. And then the high vibration botanicals: Rose Absolute, Vetiver, Sandalwood, Frankincense, Basil. These are not just beautiful - they're grounding. Sacred, even. Used for centuries in ceremony and meditation, they slow the breath, quiet the mind and signal to your nervous system: you are safe. You can rest.
Super Natural Day Oil opens your morning differently. Black Seed Oil and Moringa lay the nutritional foundation, while Rosehip Seed Oil and Bakuchiol 2% - nature's retinol alternative - support collagen, tone and renewal without irritation. Then the lifting botanicals arrive: Clary Sage, Rose Geranium, Petitgrain, Sweet Orange, Ylang Ylang, Immortelle. Bright. Alive. Clarifying. These work directly on the limbic system - the emotional centre of your brain - lifting mood, sharpening focus and telling your nervous system: today is a good day.
Together, morning and evening, they create a rhythm. An anchor. A before and after your skin and nervous system begin to rely on.
Here's what I know about the nervous system: it responds to ritual. To repetition. To moments of deliberate presence.
When you apply the oils into your skin with intention, feeling the skin soften and settle - your body is already beginning to regulate. Your breathing slows. Your shoulders drop. You arrive in your skin. That's the moment to pick up a card. Not before. Not after.
In that two-minute window while the oils absorb, when you're already halfway home to yourself. One card. One sentence. One moment that belongs entirely to you. That's self adornment. Not vanity - nourishment. And when we genuinely nourish ourselves, something shifts. The joy doesn't stay contained. It spills out into how we speak, how we move, what we notice, what we attract. A you that's rooted enough to receive what's coming.
How to use them
Apply your oil. Work it in slowly. Feel your shoulders drop.
Then pick up a card. Read it once. Let it settle.
That's it. That's the whole practice. Two minutes. Every day.
Who these cards are for
They're for those of us who are brilliant at showing up for everyone else and quietly forget to show up for ourselves. For the ones who are too hard on themselves. Who lie awake replaying the day. Who give generously and refill their own cup last, if at all. This is your two minutes. Your practice. Your daily act of coming home.
