Patchouli is also known to have aphrodisiac properties and during the “1960’s Free Love period” the oil was used as a perfume due to its ability to inspire and warm the senses when worn, encouraging one to become uninhibited from emotional or social restrictions, enabling free action of sexual expression and/or impulsivity.

My SoulCollage® Card

“Peace” – Council Suit

Q/ Who are you?

I Am One Who loves the stillness and quietness surrounding me, hopping in and out of the pockets of deepness within this Labyrinth.

I Am One Who stands strong in my energy of love compassion and peace wishing for a world of peace outside of the Labyrinth mirroring a world of safety like the one I’m standing in.

I Am One Who Looks to nature to gain the thrill of joy that gives my heart a flutter of excitement I want a peaceful world for myself so strongly, hoping for my own home and environment where I can be at peace and absorb the loving healing energy of nature and my plants that I will grow around me once again.

Q/ What is the Message you have for me?

I don’t have one for you, instead I feel faded out, grey, lifeless yet my flowers are brightly coloured prominent and facing outwards away from me, displayed to the world.

I feel like I’ve merged into the background and although there is life around me I feel lifeless and unimportant and only just holding myself up, feeling nothing. I’ve no hope or excitement running through me, I’m bored, unmotivated and feel a fake, nothing seems to work and all I desire is to feel some type of Peace for myself.

When I made this SoulCollage® card I actually thought that it was going to give me its wisdom of how to feel at Peace in some way.

As I started to Journal with my card “Peace” she told me that although she was talking about being in a Peaceful and safe place in the Labyrinth, all of the noise around her is still there and she is feeling like nothing is working and in some ways has given up.
