The more mindful and aware we are, the more authentic we can live. Authenticity comes from being true to one's self, one's path, and one's choices. We have to accept ourselves for who we are, and let go of the fear of expressing truth and speaking out for truth. When we stop to feel into what our values and beliefs are, and when we choose to follow our own moral compass without allowing outside forces to change who we are, then we are on the path to authentic living. There are many plant essences that support this journey, as the Plant Kingdom is directly connected to the highest Truth of unconditional Love. Three essences that take us deeply into the journey of self-acceptance and authenticity are Calamus, Cilantro Leaf, and Leleshwa.
Calamus is an herbaceous perennial, semi-aquatic plant that was part of the "holy oil" that Moses was given to anoint the tabernacle, the ark of testimony, and used in many other rituals. Calamus is a powerful anti-septic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-convulsive medicine that helps vertigo, headaches, and nervous system imbalances. She helps with brain function, memory, digestion, and respiration, among many other benefits. Energetically, Calamus helps us to become more accountable, responsible, confident, and introspective. She supports us in owning our part, looking at our lives in a deeper way, and dealing with ourselves so we can bring out our highest and greatest aspects. In finding our truth and living with accountability, we are able to clear our anxieties, depression, and other blocks that may be in our way of expressing our most authentic selves.
Cilantro Leaf is a fast-growing annual herb that has been used medicinally for over 7,000 years. She is a natural pain reliever, muscle relaxer, and cold and flu remedy that helps arthritis, digestion, and endurance. Cilantro Leaf is wonderful for frigidity, fertility, insomnia, memory, headaches, and nervous exhaustion. Energetically, Cilantro Leaf addresses depression, fear, anger, shock, anxiety, and finding balance. She helps us understand, get in touch with, and feel confident with ourselves, while addressing our limitless potential. She helps to bring out our authentic expressions in perception, intuition, and direction.
Leleshwa, or African Wild Sage, is a small shrub or tree that is known to ward away darkness, nightmares, and evil spirits. She helps the body with fungus, wounds, skin irritations, and hemorrhoids. Leleshwa is great for the nerves, stiff joints, and inflammation. Energetically, Leleshwa supports us in dissolving our lower self, letting go of reactiveness and find spaces to forgive and embrace higher thinking and heart-expansion. She supports us in finding a more peaceful state of consciousness that aligns with our most authentic expression of the self.
All three essences can be anointed "neat" daily for harmony and healing. Pour 5-10 drops of Calamus onto the crown of the head twice a day (am & pm). Anoint Cilantro Leaf onto the neck and over the heart with 5-10 drop two to three times daily. Finally, allow Leleshwa to boost the energy bodies by anointing 5-10 drops 2-3 times a day onto the neck, over tight muscles, and onto the bottoms of the feet for authenticity and mental/emotional harmony.
