Essential Oil for Forgiveness & Letting Go

This was a clip in my recent e-newsletter about Hyssop essential oil.  Essential Oil Tip Hyssop ~   Purification ~  Protection ~  Expansion ~  That's what hyssop essential oil is all about. Hyssop essential oil helps build confidence by restoring the bodily soul. It is excellent for individuals that have a very stressful, negative environment.  It helps us release the negative, forgive and let go.  Using Hyssop Essential oil can help create a protective shield around you.  Forgiveness can be a difficult thing for many people. We tend to "hold on" to events and relive them from time to time. Daily use of Hyssop essential oil can allow you to gently become aware of your attachment and work through the issues coming to a place of forgiveness and letting go.  Ahhh, how freeing that  can be!  Using 3-4 drops on your tummy can stimulate and warm your digestion.  Diffused, it is also excellent for any respiratory condition.  For Ayurveda uses: this oil can reduce Kapha and can increase Pitta as it is heating and drying.  Plus, the bees love the hyssop blooms!

Conversations with grass

I recently sat down and had a conversation with some grasses. When you are open to communicating with all of life, you are realize that all things are alive and all things can communicate - you just need to open to them.

Grasses beneath the tree

Here are some things the grasses shared:

The parts nearer to the ground are more dense and strong. They don't move in the wind. The taller parts, full of seeds are long, tall and they move freely.  They are tossed around in the wind. This reminds me of how people tend to behave in the winds of change.  The tighter we are bound, the less we are able to be tossed around.  But, the more up-reaching and free we are, the more we are susceptible to the changing winds.  The balance of all this is that we maintain a connection to Mother Earth.  She is the force we cling to in times of need and discover. When we feel our feet firmly planted on the ground, we are safe and protected.

These beautiful grasses gave me this little poem:

Here we sit, grasses beneath the tree,

There is no you, there is no me.

As the wind blows, so do we.

Our spirits are together, can't you see?

Here we sit, the grasses beneath the tree.

Look closely, you'll see the small grasses underneath the tree :)
