zankoku_zen Report post Posted October 8, 2020 The bridge between life and death, between the conscious and unconscious, between the soul and the body. This is an oil to be used during the process of understanding life, death, and the spaces in-between. It eases the pain of grieving, opens doorways to the liminal space between states of being, and enables you to better understand life by confronting and embracing death. It is a scent of stillness and quiet, of standing in cool shadows. It is the solemn and joyous embrace of the beloved dead; you are not alone. Cypress essential oil and cypress from the TAL garden (Cupressus sempervirens), myrrh essential oil and tears (Commiphora myrrha), organic hops flowers and hops essential oil (Humulus lupulus), cedar leaf (Thuja plicata), cedar berries (Juniperus monosperma), western red cedar essential oil (Thuja plicata) and Atlas cedar (Cedrus atlantica), peru balsam (Myroxylon pereirae), and black vegetal musk.

quantquill Report post Posted May 16 (edited) I can't believe no one has reviewed this yet... I bought it from a forumite, here goes... You know the feeling you get when the dentist puts the mask on and laughing gas starts flowing and everyone leaves the room and you breathe deeply? That little bit of tingling at the tips of your fingers and toes, the floaty sensation of calm descending at the back of your mind, the loosening of your jaw because tension drains away? That's Balm of Hermanubis. I'm not claiming this is laughing gas. We're speaking metaphorically here. It's actually completely beside the point to me what it smells like, although I don't dislike it absolutely love it (edited after using it a second time). It's bracing, well-blended, frosty pine myrrhy-ness with a tiny bit of sweetness. It doesn't make me want to sleep, even as it induces calm. I'd use this any time I wanted to evoke mental relief from a storm of anxiety. It's perfect for slathering on my chest and forearms and back of neck, and sitting or lying down to meditate, and playing something from YouTube channels Jason Stephenson, The Honest Guys, or Meditative Mind and realizing this, too, shall pass. Given the amount of toxic-to-cats EOs in this blend, I will definitely avoid touching our kittehz until I wash it off thoroughly, and I'll be careful not to get any of it on my clothes for the same reason. So, I guess it's also good to use before taking a shower. Meditate to clear the mind, then shower to clear the body. 8-) Edited May 28 by quantquill fix typos, update loving the scent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
