Application: Apply to throat, third eye, crown chakra, inner wrists and along the edges of the sternum. Apply to palms, rub hands together and inhale deeply. Can be worn as perfume or cologne.
Two or three drops can be applied directly to the skin as indicated. Some people are very sensitive to Essential oils, and it may be best to dilute them with a good carrier oil (jojoba or coconut oil) before applying. A few drops in a diffuser is also effective.
About the Blend: This blend uses some of the most potent oils for opening the Heart and allowing the Spirit within the Heart to express itself. Ancient spiritual cultures believe that at the time of conception, Heaven (Source, Tao, God) imparts an individual Spirit into the forming embryo which takes up residence in the Heart. This Spirit maintains a connection to Heaven and holds within it the Divine Destiny and the seeds of Love that each human is born with. Spirit looks outward into the world of creation and develops relationships with the world and others in it so that we may manifest our Destiny into the world. Since most of us are never taught to look inside and follow our Spirit back to its original Source, we end up getting lost in the world and our own sense of peace, our relationships with others, and our relationships with the world suffer. In a sense, the Spirit becomes trapped and clouded over from untrue beliefs, trauma, disappointments, and other difficulties of the world. We lose our childlike innocence and our awareness of our personal Heavenly Destiny. Eventually, stagnation and blockages build up as we forget our True Source even more. All the oils in this blend have a very powerful effect on calming the Spirit in the Heart, reopening the Heart, assisting in Spirit’s return to the Heart, and allowing Spirit to flow freely once again between Heaven and Earth. This process is led by Rose oil and assisted by the other oils in the blend. Holy basil has an even higher function here of reconnecting the awakened Spirit back to the Source. Rose oil and the others restore the integrity of the Spirit in the Heart and Holy Basil pulls the Spirit up to Heaven. Patchouli helps us stay grounded so we can do the work of returning to Spirit in the here and now. Melissa adds the benefit of moving the energy (Qi, Prana) that flows through the Body/Mind so that stagnation does not reoccur. This is one of the most powerful blends I know of for assisting in deep spiritual growth and meditation. This blend effects all 5 Elements and all the Chakras for a very balanced formula.
