Stagnant to Clarity
Traditionally the Herb Clary Sage was used as an “eye wash” thus was named “clear eyes” alongside its sister herb “Euphrasia officinalis” known as “eye bright”. The essential oil, being a more potent substance has been used to treat digestive issues, throat conditions, and for menopause and menstrual problems due to the Essential Oil’s phytoestrogen properties.
Today Clary Sage Essential Oil is used to treat mental and emotional conditions like depression, low mood, anxiety as well as assisting one when feeling stuck, or unmotivated, having little energy or not interested in doing anything. When one finds themselves feeling stagnant and unable to have clear thinking or understanding Clary Sage brings clarity of mind and the energy to move one forward on decisions with enthusiasm and direction. The oil is also known to be calming, relaxing and mildly intoxicating due to its euphoric properties so it can be effective to lift one’s spirits, alleviate stress-related anxiety, and promote a sense of well-being.

Connecting to Ourself through SoulCollage®.
SoulCollage® allows us to connect to all aspects of ourselves through “Four Suits” that the Cards in your Deck will fall under being the “Committee Suit” which relate to our many personalities and inner voices, the “Council Suit” which relate to the Archetypal Energies that challenge, guide us and influence our life, the “Community Suit” which represents the real people, pets, and places with whom you are in relationship (past and present). And the “Companion Suit” which represent the physical energies within our body, linked to the seven major chakras and Animals Guides that come through to us whilst in a guided meditation.
Below is an Example of one of my SoulCollage® Committee Cards that I made and the “I am One Who” message that came through to me when I Journaled with my card.
My SoulCollage® Card

I Am One Who feels the energy when I close my eyes, the fragrance transports me to connect with my soul, over many lifetimes and experiences that I have had with aroma in its many forms.

“My message for you Elaine is to slow down, to go back to your regular practice of inhaling the Magical Energy of the Essential Oils to support you when feeling rushed or out of balance. Enjoy!”
