Mother of Palms Healing

 Incense resin "Dark Mayan Copal" corresponds to Gemini and the lungs, and mercury, and the tibetan water element.  Best used under sun in Gemini in Spring. Effect is like electricity charging two turbines, lungs. Your lungs converting the energy upward into the brain, clearing thinking; turning jealousy into compassion; clarity. Green Energy.  Green Ray of occult science. 

 Patience is #1. I've learned not to do things all in one go. We owe it to ourselves to give ourselves space - to think, and plan.  Impulse kills the will. The commercial world convinced me everything has to be done now. But all the respectability is in standing still.  If you ever think you're not in a capitalist's world think about how many times you've tossed out your own self worth just to make time for others' goals.  People respect you more when you be still. The person pushing you in traffic respects you when he knows you won't go over the speed limit and goes around you. Impulse turns you into its bitch the moment you get anxious, yell or push back. The buyer waiting on the seller learns to value the object being sold. It makes life sweeter to be patient.

 These are two pairs of oils I enjoy a lot. They make me feel good in Winter.  I think the cedarwood is very clarifying, and the geranium bourbon brings out its sweet side. Now, if you know geranium bourbon, it's very strong and almost unappealing alone.  I'm not sure the perfect timing astrologically, but I find myself using these in the time of Saturn and air influences such as Gemini. I have seen cedar associated with Jupiter as well as Mercury. And the clarifying energy reminds me of Mercury. The smell reminds me of Aquarius and Capricorn, very dry; and Virgo, very light and sweet.   Here the cinnamon draws out the fullness of the myrrh. It's like chocolate in milk. Myrrh is very much a winter fragrance. With myrrh, the cinnamon feels purposeful. It sweetly nudges you with an elbow to the kidney and tells you to stay sharp. Very mentally clarifying pair. It almost feels like it "melts away the fat," so to speak.  "Therapia by Aroma" is the store I bu...
