This is the time of Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, when the Sun reaches it’s peak fulfillment and changes direction and begins waning in energy.

This is a time of transformation, the Sun is considered to be the energy that transforms the destructive forces with the light of truth.

Yoga and self-massage provide excellent practice in slowing down, we become aware of and reconnect with our bodies; through this awareness we are often reminded of an old injury, such as a stiff neck or places we hold tension. It would seem obvious that as one makes contact with the vessel that bears these burdens, anything that enhances this healing is most certainly warranted. Arnica action oil brings additional benefit to people who practice yoga by bringing them closer to their core being. Yoga means union, union of movement and breath, union of mind and body, union of muscle and bone, union of thought and action and with arnica action oil it can bring union of plants and humans.
