The Oil of Sacred Devotion

If you have been following along with my ‘blog a day for the month of May’ series you will have seen that each oil has an emotional interpretation. Along with these interpretations are suggestions on ways you can support yourself emotionally using the oils. Well, you can also support your Spiritual Self with essential oils.

Sandalwood Essential Oil is the Oil of Sacred Devotion; a perfect companion in your personal practice (prayer, meditation). Sandalwood Essential Oil has a powerful ability to still the mind and centre you into your heart space, and to create openness to the Universe or Spirit. If you feel the call to raise your consciousness, this oil may be a support to you on your journey. Alternately if you are feeling a sense of spiritual disconnection or an imbalance in your attachment to the material world, this oil can support you to surrender and connect to your higher self.
