Aromatherapy Share: Aromatherapy For Self-Reflection...

Plants go deep within the Earth into darkness for nourishment. Sometimes we all have to retreat to the inner world in order to process what we are experiencing in our lives. Nature helps us ground and center into our hearts for harmony and balance. Plants adapt to our needs and help to boost our frequency so we can see beyond our challenges or limitations. All plants address the topic of restoring harmony on the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual levels, but we each have our favorites. Our favorite essences to use during these more inward and reflective self-analyzing times of our lives are Cilantro Leaf, Myrrh, Greek Sage, Australian Sandalwood, and Blue Yarrow.

Cilantro Leaf is a leaf essence that has been used for well over 7,000 years, and was one of the plants utilized in Ancient Egyptian times. She has been found in the tombs of Tutankhamen. India and China also cultivated her for thousands of years. This ancient herb brings out our limitlessness. She is a freedom fighter that works with our mind to help us shift our limited perceptions, provide us with Divine direction, and help us get in touch with ourselves on a deeper level. Cilantro Leaf is known as an activator and awakener of our astral body and our intuitive, psychic, and spiritual energies. She helps us dive deeper into self-understanding when we are ready to work with the higher realms.

Myrrh is an oleoresin made from dried tree resin. She has also been around since antiquity, and was an active plant used in the embalming of mummies in Ancient Egypt. Myrrh is empowering to use during self-discovery because she helps us bring out our deep, hidden emotions and feelings. She heightens the awareness of the self, and encourages us to balance our higher and lower energies in order to see a bigger picture. This powerful medicine enhances a greater vision of our role in serving society, so that we can become more authentic in our lives.

Greek Sage is a leaf and flower essence that has been used for centuries in both cooking and medicine. In Muslim rituals, she is burnt as an incense for weddings, funerals, or when a new baby is born. Anointing Greek Sage can help us come back to ourselves when we have felt off. She is helpful in calming, centering, and shifting us back to the present moment. Greek Sage works to help clear the pain of the past, open us to the wisdom of the present, and guide us inward to find that creative spark that makes us truly enjoy our lives again.

Australian Sandalwood is an ancient wood essence that has been used in both Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine practices. She is a wise plant teacher that helps guide us to know who we really are, and become the person we have always wanted to be. Anointing her daily can help influence our sense of self and the ability to feel comfortable in our own skin. Australian Sandalwood opens our energies up to listening to ourselves, while letting go of the outer chatter of what other people think or say. She instills the idea that there is nothing to prove to others, and that we really only need to put ourselves first and seek our inner joy once again. After that, we will be able to show up for the world whole and complete, and be of true service to humanity.

Blue Yarrow is a flower essence that has been used for more than 60,000 years, according to fossilized pollen found in burial caves. Energetically, she is a wonderful plant for embodying the self - even when others disapprove. She helps us to trust ourselves and only commit to what aligns with who we really are. Blue Yarrow offers a deeper soul connection into self-realization, soul connection, and surrendering to our highest self. She helps us to let go of the judgement, release the inner victim, surrender to whatever is uncomfortable in order to stop resisting our lives, and finally get out of any rut we may find ourselves in. Blue Yarrow is a wonderful ally in truly stepping into our own skin and being ourselves in all life situations.

All of these plants can be anointed together, or one can be picked to work with alone. Either way, these amazing essences all help to open our hearts to a deeper sense of self-understanding and self-Love. Dive into the journey of inner awakening and allow these plants to help deepen the connection to the heart. Global change starts with personal transformation. The plants are the greatest example of how to Love without condition. Let's learn from them, take time to attune to their frequencies, and feel our infinite connection with them grow and expand.
