Tree Oils & Emotions

Tree oils like spruce and fir contain alpha-pinene, a constituent that helps the mind and body reach a calming, peaceful environment. Tree oils are a wonderful tool for processing feelings of being unimportant, un-nurtured or disempowered. 

Believe contains tree oils plus citrus and floral notes, and it is a great oil blend to reach for when you feel like you are comparing yourself to others, are feeling undervalued or as though your unique voice has no place. The alternate side to feeling unimportant is Empowerment. When we can rest secure in who we are then comparison melts away and our unique blend of magic can shine!
