The name deodara<\/em> comes from the Sanskrit word devadaru<\/em>. This roughly translates as \u2018wood of the gods\u2019 or \u2018Tree of the Gods\u2019. The Himalayan cedar has therefore held a special place in the culture and traditions of the region for centuries. In Hinduism, forests of deodar cedars are even regarded as special places for meditation and contemplation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Personally, I think this scent is absolutely brilliant! It\u2019s a gently sweet fragrance that really helps me unwind. The warm, woody scent makes you feel as though you\u2019re enjoying a lovely walk through a peaceful forest. And it\u2019s precisely this scent that\u2019s perfect for those moments when you need some peace and quiet and to slow down a bit. Especially in this busy, fast-paced society, it can be lovely to take a moment to reconnect with yourself after a long, hectic day. But this scent is also a lovely aid during a moment of meditation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Both the oil and the aromatic wood have a long history of use. For example, the wood was used for buildings and temples, amongst other things. Incense was also made from the aromatic wood. Nowadays, Himalayan cedar and other cedar oils are commonly found in perfumes and personal care products, amongst other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spiritueel gezien wordt Himalaya Ceder vaak verbonden met aarding, stabiliteit, rust en innerlijke kracht. Soms lijkt het alsof je hoofd maar door blijft gaan. Je denkt aan alles wat nog moet gebeuren, krijgt veel indrukken binnen of voelt dat je aandacht alle kanten op gaat. Dan kan het fijn zijn om weer even stil te staan. De etherische olie Himalaya Ceder kan je helpen om bewust zo’n moment voor jezelf te cre\u00ebren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A lovely exercise<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sit down quietly in a peaceful spot. Close your eyes and take a whiff of the oil. For example, rub a drop between your hands to warm it up, then cup your hands around your nose and mouth. Take a few deep breaths in and out. Then ask yourself the following questions: How are you feeling? What do you need? And what might you be able to let go of for a while?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just sit quietly for a moment and let the answers come to you. Experience how you slow down and reconnect with yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Himalayan Cedar is mainly used in the spiritual world to help you ground yourself. Being well-grounded has a huge number of benefits. You feel more confident, experience greater peace of mind and body, and are better able to cope. But having a solid foundation is also important for realising your plans and dreams. You are present in the moment and aware of what is going on inside you at that moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The scent of Himalayan cedar can be a lovely aid during a moment of tranquillity when you consciously reconnect with yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Himalayan cedar stands firmly rooted in the earth whilst simultaneously reaching high into the sky. And that is precisely where a beautiful spiritual message lies. You are here on earth and have a life to live. Combining this with spirituality ensures that you allow yourself to be guided by your intuition, remain open to the energy around you, and walk your path with surrender. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You don\u2019t have to choose between the spiritual and everyday life. You can dream whilst keeping both feet firmly on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And it is precisely this combination that makes this fragrance so perfect for moments of meditation or when you want to reconnect with yourself. A moment just for yourself, for reflection, to remind yourself that you can grow without losing sight of your roots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The deep, warm scent of Himalayan cedar gives me a wonderfully enveloping and comforting feeling. That\u2019s why this essential oil is perfect for those moments when you want to take a break from all the hustle and bustle around you. But even after a long day full of conversations, new experiences or appointments, this is a fantastic scent to curl up with on the sofa and reconnect with yourself. You\u2019ll notice your mind becoming calmer and that you can let all those impressions fade away. The scent instantly creates a calm and safe atmosphere in your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are various ways to use essential oils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add a few drops to your diffuser and let the warm, woody scent fill the room. A lovely choice for a moment of tranquillity, meditation or at the end of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n De spirituele werking past mooi bij meditatie. Ga rustig zitten, adem een paar keer diep in en uit en neem even de tijd om bij jezelf in te checken. Gebruik de olie in een diffuser, brandertje of zoals eerder beschreven door de geur warm te wrijven in je handen en te ‘cuppen’. Adem een aantal keer diep in en uit en laat de geur je meevoeren naar de rust en ruimte die je zoekt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also use Himalayan Cedar at the end of a busy day. Switch on the diffuser and take a few minutes to consciously bring the day to a close. Think about what you want to take away from the day, and ask yourself what you can let go of. In this way, you can turn an ordinary moment into a little ritual for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is my favourite way to enjoy the scent. After a long day, a lovely warm bath with Himalayan Cedar and Spearmint. It might sound like a strange combination, but I\u2019m absolutely in love with it. The Cedar helps me feel grounded and let go of all the energy from the day. Spearmint, on the other hand, gives you a bit of a boost and has an invigorating effect. It really is a fantastic combination! But of course, you can also combine the cedar with your own favourite scent!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Enjoy the lovely warm, sweet scent of Himalayan cedar!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Love, Rebecca<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" De etherische olie Himalaya Ceder heeft een warme, diepe en houtachtige geur.
