Renewal & Compassion with Basil and Magnolia
Right now one of my daily practices is adding a few drops of basil to some carrier oil and gently massaging my kidney area. I then apply Magnolia touch from pulse point on wrist to elbow crease, rub and inhale. It is a beautiful practice which is holding me firmly right now.

MAGNOLIA OIL - The Oil of Compassion
“Magnolia connects people with the energy of the divine matriarch. This feminine spiritual source expects individuals to treat one another with mercy and compassion. Magnolia creates a tender place within the heart to learn important lessons from this higher plane of consciousness about human interconnectedness and how to live in love and harmony. It also assists in illuminating the distance between individuals and dispels whatever may be clouding the ability to see other human beings with relatable needs, desires and pains. It encourages all individuals on a profoundly spiritual level to interact without causing pain or suffering and to refrain from seeing others as somehow less than oneself.
The inviting sweetness of Magnolia draws the senses in with gentle, pure, maternal nurturing that facilitates deep healing and soul-level change. Once the individual feels safe and loved, they will naturally see where they are withholding compassion from themselves and from those around them. Magnolia inspires individuals to engage with their fellow sojourners in this life with greater and greater empathy. It mirrors back to each individual the shared humanity reflected in another’s eyes and reminds that each soul is equally deserving of kindness and respect. Magnolia reveals the essential bonds shared between all people. When individuals view themselves as separate from others, they begin to lose the thread that weaves humanity together and to disregard the outcomes of the people they have detached themselves from. Magnolia facilitates a divine healing energy, bringing the world a remedy for these soul sicknesses.
Magnolia inspires the willingness to see the divine beauty within each soul. It teaches that each individual shares a responsibility to discover the gaps in their connection to others, to clear the encumbered perceptions obscuring the truth and to turn to the divine to heal those cold, confused or barren places within their understanding. Magnolia offers a true haven of refuge and reflection and inspires deep, transformative thought. Magnolia is a tonic for those who feel separated from the divine feminine and desperately need the lost teachings of a loving parent who can guide them on the path to greater happiness, progress and unity.
