View of humanity

The Cedar type feels stifled by his parents’ love and, as a result, feels he has to live up to their expectations. This makes him tend to always take others into account and gives rise to a fear that he will not be able to meet those expectations.

Mental

The cedar is known for its strength and peaceful presence. The cedar helps you to ground yourself and find balance. It keeps you firmly grounded, making it easier to accept life as it is. The cedar offers protection to those who are sensitive to the 'harshness' of everyday life. It helps to stabilise and calm your mind.
For example, during busy times within a family, Cedar will have a soothing and purifying effect and restore harmony to the atmosphere. Its pleasant scent attracts love and cosiness, thereby encouraging attention to and understanding of each other’s thoughts and wishes. In this way, the oil helps to restore balance in stressful situations.

Spiritual

Add cedar to a blend intended to cleanse your space. Like sage, cedar is burned during ceremonial smudging sessions. Cedar supports you during meditation or prayer. Cedar deepens your spiritual practices and rituals. You can use cedar oil with the intention of reinforcing the 'Law of Attraction'.
