Jealousy & Social Comparison — Balancing Botanical Bath Soak

In life — and especially online —
everything can seem brighter elsewhere.
Others move forward, achieve, celebrate…
and without realizing it,
we begin to feel smaller,
a little “behind,”
not quite “enough.”

This reflex is deeply human.
But when we measure ourselves against others too often,
we slowly drift away from who we are.

Jealousy is not a flaw —
it signals desires, dreams,
or parts of ourselves longing for more space.

This ritual was created as an inner pause:
a moment to return to our own path,
and to let longing soften into listening
rather than comparison.

The Experience

When thought wanders toward what others do —
or seem to be —
a bath can become a refuge:
a place to return to one’s rhythm,
without urgency.

I composed this blend as a floral-woody synergy —
where stability and gentleness meet*:

• Geranium Bourbon (Pelargonium graveolens)
• Bergamot (Citrus bergamia)
• Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin)
• Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile)
• Amyris (Amyris balsamifera)

The notes feel round and luminous,
like a walk at dusk —
everything softens, finds balance,
and perspective quietly returns.

Dead Sea salts dissolve slowly,
leaving a soft mineral touch on the skin.

*For external use only — not a treatment.

How to Use

Add about three tablespoons (≈ 30 g) to a warm bath.
Immerse, breathe slowly,
and let the aromas settle in their own time.

A simple moment
to feel yourself return to center.

What This Ritual Invites

• A pause from inner noise
• A reassuring floral-woody atmosphere
• A gentler presence at your own rhythm
• Skin softened by mineral salts

This ritual does not try to erase comparison.
It simply offers a quiet place
to listen, slow down,
and return to your own unfolding story.

A Note from Christian

Each Hanami botanical bath soak is made by hand,
at an intentionally unrushed pace.

Its fragrance is natural — sometimes surprising —
expressing the simple presence of plants
without artifice.
