Eucalyptus - an Oil for Expansion & Kapha Season

Eucalyptus 

Broadening * Purifying * Conduit 

Whereas oaks, willows, maples and conifers reign in the Northern Hemisphere, eucalyptus rule the South.  The tallest flowering plants in the world, over 700 species cover large expanses of Australia.  From their leaves they gift a range of essential oils when steam distilled, one of the most popular coming from Eucalyptus Radiata.  He has long thin leaves and creamy yellow blossoms.

Eucalyptus supports the breath, creating a sense of expansiveness.  How you breathe communicates your current state to every part of your body.  Think about when you're angry, sad, confused or scared - your breath shortens and restricts.  What advice do you receive when you are in any of these states?  Just breathe. Eucalyptus encourages you to do this.  He opens you to the full breadth of life, helping you embrace a full range of experiences. 

My gift to you is Expansiveness

As oxygen cycles around your body and into your cells, organs and brain, it acts as a conduit for powerful, energetic clearing.  Let eucalyptus alleviate worrisome thoughts, the tumult of thinking that feels ceaseless and draining.  Eucalyptus invites you to breathe more deeply into an experience, understanding it more fully.  When the time is right to go deeper or to relinquish anything unwanted, eucalyptus will help guide you back to your centre with an understanding of what does and does not serve you; gently clearing and cleansing dense energy.  

Eucalyptus purifies the atmosphere after a quarrel and can be used to protect against future emotional hurt.  Like a flowing river, eucalyptus lets nothing remains stagnant.  His roots are constantly drawing deep into the earth, finding water, connecting with water, soaking it in. Allow eucalyptus to nourish you and hydrate your emotional realm with goodness.  Eucalyptus constantly allows you to absorb life force into your energy body. 

Eucalyptus offers cool, calm comfort and can help you slip more easily into receiving guidance through your dreams or enhancing your psychic abilities.  Anoint yourself before going on a walk to invite the company of local nature spirits.  If feeling drained or defeated, inhale eucalyptus and immerse yourself in his vibration of continuance, endurance and legacy.  Used in meditation, creative visualisation or manifestation, eucalyptus strengthens your exhalation allowing you to put more power behind the intentions you send out to the world.  Your life began with that first breath and will end with a final breath.  Eucalyptus is here to ensure you get the most out of every breath in between.
