♥ Beautiful Arborvitae ♥
Arborvitae comes from the western red cedar tree and also known as ‘the tree of life’ and ‘the oil of divine grace’. The oil in the trunk of the tree is so thick that nothing can attack it, it never rots and no insects bore into it because of how much potent oil is in it. That protective energy transfers into the oil and helps you stand your ground and stay grounded. Another name is ‘the oil of steadfast’. It helps to protect you from things that may pull you down on a physical level as well as a mental level. If ever you feel you’re getting pulled down by other peoples negativity, attitudes or their shit, or even find yourself amongst chaos that distracts you and pulls you into it, arborvitae the big strong protective tree can help you stay grounded, to stand strong and confident in who you are and not get pulled in by outside negativity. A great oil to use during the mercury retrograde to ground and centre and for empaths being pulled into other peoples drama. Apply a drop of arborvitae as defence and imagine a cone of light around you to protect you from being pulled off your path. It helps you stay focused on what’s important to you and connects you with your own spirituality. It helps to connect with guides, animal guides, spiritual guides and meditating with it helps to connect with the divine assistance.
It is an excellent immune support boosting oil, use diluted with fractionated coconut oil and rub on the bottoms of the feet for an immunity boost (dilution I usually say for adults, 1 drop of oil to 3 drops of fractionated coconut carrier oil, for children, elderly or sensitive skin at least 1 in 5 dilution) Arborvitae is also a bug repellent, good for summer out walking or camping, mixed with lavender, cedarwood and geranium it makes a natural flea and tick repellent for cats and dogs (you can add diatomaceous earth and plenty of that stuff if ever needed). Also arborvitae makes a good natural wood polish, great mixed with lemon oil too with a bit of olive oil.
Arborvitae works well with the base chakra and helps us stay steady, calms and helps to stay stable and secure. It’s a very strong base oil so you don’t need a lot, it blends well in a base with cedarwood and also a more lifting oil like lemon. It works well with the crystals Botswana Agate, Green Aventurine, Ruby in Zoisite and Hematite.
