Pairing Guide
Thee Pillow Pairing Guide
Thee Pillow’s dual-pocket design lets you work with scent in two ways: Total Immersion (same oil on both coins) or the Navigator Method (two oils: Primary + Support).
Three Scent Modes
- Single Intention (1 coin / 1 oil): 2–3 drops on one coin, either pocket.
- Total Immersion (2 coins / 1 oil): same oil on two coins for a centered cocoon. Start with 1 drop per coin.
- Navigator (2 coins / 2 oils): Primary coin 2 drops + Support coin 1 drop.
Scent Strength Tip: If you’re sensitive—or using two coins—start lighter (1 drop per coin) and increase gradually.
The Navigator Breath (10–12 minutes)
- Minutes 1–3: focus on your Primary scent.
- Minutes 4–6: shift to your Support scent.
- Minutes 7–12: stop choosing—breathe naturally and let the body settle.
Breath cue: inhale gently… exhale longer. (Your longer exhale is your “brake pedal.”)
