Aroma Acupressure For Transcending Fear
Fear is the emotion affiliated with the water element season of winter. Although we may feel fear arise at any point in the year, this emotion can be more prominent during the colder months.
Fear is at its base, a result of loss. This article explores the two types of fears that Black spruce essential oil is especially helpful for:
1. When we feel we are separate or alone in the world. Black Spruce helps us move from survival fears and separation into faith and trust in something larger, helping the truth from our depths emerge and emanate.
2. The Life/Death fear coming from the collective fears of aging and dying can manifest as an ‘addiction to youth’, treating the elderly as used up, no longer useful. Black Spruce, The Ancient One, allows us to access the wisdom of our life experiences, the wisdom of time, it helps us look into and through our fears into a fuller appreciation of the cycle of life. What emerges is a rooted understanding and growing comfort with the unity of life and death.
