Behavioral patterns start in the womb. Humans respond to their environment, and the womb is the very first environment we live in. Our nervous system develops and continues to grow outside of the womb in response to that environment. The environment is not just the space, but it's the people, conditions, and energetic surroundings as well. Also, our age, health, emotional state, belief systems, expectations, attachments, and other outer influences have their say too. Nature is such an amazing and grounding ally during all types of change. She has mastered change with all of her time on the Earth. Three plant essences we work with to make behavioral shifts in the brain and in our lives are Petitgrain Combava, Rosemary, and Australian Sandalwood.
Petitgrain Combava is a ceremonial bushy tree with wrinkled fruits that look like limes. She is used as a medicine in sacred bathing ceremonies where people bathe in these leaves to cleanse themselves before the holy days of Ramadan. Petitgrain Combava is a wonderful cleansing medicine for the physical and energetic bodies. She helps us let go of lower energies and self-sabotaging behaviors in order to make course corrections when needed. Petitgrain Combava supports one in living a life that makes the soul happy, joyful, and fulfilled.
Rosemary is an ancient plant that has been used since antiquity for healing. She is used physically for memory, headaches, the heart, the hair, and the skin, among many other benefits. Rosemary is known to energetically to help control destructive behavior. She helps us release darkness, bad memories, depression, and anger. When we are ready to feel alive and alert, Rosemary helps us to trust in the Universe to call in our needs and allow ourselves to grow beyond our past.
Australian Sandalwood is a small, tropical tree used in both Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. She is anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, and anti-infection. She supports immunity and helps the kidneys, bladder, reproductive organs, heart, nerves, and throat chakra. Australian Sandalwood works on aggressive, ego-centric, and fearful behavior. She helps us release inner blocks and find comfort in our own skin in order to find true joy. Australian Sandalwood reminds us that there is nothing to prove to anyone else. When we listen to our own heart, and know who we really are, then we can be the people we have always wanted to be.
In order to work on behavior to shift our energy, we can anoint 5-10 drops of each essence onto the skin. They can be anointed to the crown of the head, nape of the neck, third eye, heart, bottoms of feet, solar plexus, spine, or any other area you intuitively feel is best. Set your intentions and set attainable goals in the process. This is a beautiful alignment with the natural flow of evolutionary growth, and we have an opportunity to embrace it in the here and now.
