Description

This Rose Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) essential oil is exquisitely feminine, it brings us deeply down into the womb space where we can feel ourselves anchored, strong and creative. Her odor is familiar and yet exotic, she is mysterious and loving, sensual and expansive and all these things from deeply within. She makes us feel as if we are opening up from the deepest part of ourselves and connecting from this sacred place to the realm of spirit. And all this in an ambiance of calm relaxation. No need to rush, panic or worry, this oil helps us to remain anchored and still while present in the world and in life. Her soft balm touches the heart and caresses the part of us that needs to feel safe in order to heal and participate in this earthly dance.

Personal Note:

“Peacock: The peacock's tail (cauda pavonis) is one of the alchemical terms for the conjunctio, the completion (of one cycle) of the alchemical work. The more detailed descriptions of the cauda pavonis describe the iridescent colors, and if you look as colors as symbols for emotions, notice your iridescent emotions and how they form a beautiful whole (like a peacock's tail).  The spheres are also symbols of the Self and like fractals (as you heal and become yourSelf, it ripples out to others).”- Florian Birkmayer MD
