As natural as transitions are in our lives, they can be the most difficult changes to go through and process. Whether it is the death of a Loved one, a bitter-sweet ending, or a major life shift, change can be extremely challenging. Nature constantly grounds us and reminds us of the cycles of life. By communing with plant essences, we can ground into nature and deepen our heart healing during a challenging and/or heart-healing time in our lives. The three essences we turn to during times of death and rebirth are Mediterranean Cypress, Parsley Seed, and Cedarwood Atlas.
Mediterranean Cypress is an evergreen conifer that is commonly planted around cemeteries to ensure safety in traveling to the next life. The Cypress family is associated with death and the connection to the afterlife. Mediterranean Cypress is wonderful for the lungs, inflammation, skin conditions, circulation, hormone balancing, insomnia, and reproductive harmony. Energetically, she is a protector, harmonizer, and influencer in overcoming adversity and shifting our life perspectives. When we are challenged by transitions in life, Mediterranean Cypress helps us to not give up, but to find inner peace and calm in the eye of the storm.
Parsley Seed is a spicy, herbaceous seed that was associated with death by the Greeks. She was said to have come from Archemorus' blood, whose name means "Forerunner of Death". Parsley Seed is anti-viral, anti-fungal, and healing for the gut, skin, reproductive system, muscles, and circulation. She helps us to find peace, patience, mental stillness, Love, forgiveness, and connection to Great Spirit. During times of transition, she helps us to stay calm and open to a higher plan unfolding.
Cedarwood Atlas is a large coniferous evergreen tree that has been used in embalming by the Ancient Egyptians. She is known for her powerfully relaxing and calming frequency. For the physical body, Cedarwood Atlas helps with fungus, hormones, reproductive health, lymphatic circulation, arthritic conditions, the skin, and the nervous system. Energetically, she is helpful with the grieving process, in staying positive, and helping to move through transitions in life. As she guides us closer to spirit, calms us, and helps us through emotional trauma, we are able to get stronger, increase our capacity to have hope, and heal our heartaches.
Change can be a stress for many people, and when we all learn how to gently and gracefully move through transitions, we are empowered to grow and expand instead of contract and become stagnant. When we can turn to nature for healing strength, it helps the entire process to flow a little easier. When moving through change, keep these plant healers in your heart for support and Loving guidance. They will steer you toward the deepest heart-healing possible in that time and space. Anoint all three essences onto the heart and the bottoms of the feet as needed.
