Letting go takes time, as we all have our own ways of processing our life experiences. During the Full Moon and waning time of each month, we can work with plant essences to help support us in releasing what no longer serves us. There are many plants that support letting go, and these three essences have been particularly helpful for us recently. Plai, Opoponax, and Frankincense each have special healing properties that help during this time of release. Anointing these plants daily with intention can help with the transformation process.
Plai is a powerful root essence used for pain, digesting our life experiences, opening our lungs to take in life, and warming our energy so we can create more flow. Plai supports us in letting go of darkness, rising above our challenges, and moving our energies in the direction of our greatest dreams. She helps us release resentment, coldness, bitterness, self-pity, and stagnation so that we can be open to extract blessings where we may struggle to see the Light.
Opoponax is a gum resin that is the "all healing vegetable juice" and remedy for so many different imbalances. She is anti-viral, anti-parasitic, anti-infection, anti-inflammatory, and anti-septic. Energetically, Opoponax helps us move into a more positive direction and out of negativity, fear, and conflict. When we need to follow our True North and let go of our limitations in order to become more present and more in alignment with our destiny, Opoponax is protective and supportive. During the waning moon time, Opoponax holds space for us to let go and become Light.
Frankincense is a resinous sap that has been used as a "gift from the Gods" for over 5,000 years. She is healing for the immune system, the skin, toxicity in the body, tumors, cancers, and so much more. Frankincense helps us to let go of the people and situations that no longer serve our highest good. She is a guide on our journey to unveil our greatest destiny, and to fully step into our skin, embody who we are, and become proud to be ourselves. In the waning moon, Frankincense is great in helping to cut ties to a painful past, and clear, cleanse, and release stress and anxiety. She is the peace keeper and elevator who supports confidence in moving forward.
When we are anointing these empowering plant guides, it is best to work with the heart, the solar plexus, and the feet. Over the heart, each essence can be poured (5-10 drops each) to help detach and let go of our destructive emotional contracts. On the solar plexus, they can be anointed (5-10 drops each) to activate our willpower and let go in order to Lighten up. The bottoms of the feet can be utilized as a releasing point for energy. Anointing 5-10 drops of each essence onto the feet can help direct our intentions of letting go down and out of the being. Whether you anoint to all of these places or just one, the key is intention. Say a blessing and direct the forces of energy toward the release desired. These plants will be wonderful allies on this journey of letting go of the past, releasing the trauma, and being free from the cycle of pain that we may find ourselves in at this time.
