Cedarwood is a very gentle yet powerful oil. Its soft woody smell is pleasant and subtle. Cedarwood oil is a thick oil. It is best added to lotions and carrier oils and used as an all over moisturizer. I use it on my face for the occasional blemishes1. I use also on my children for brain connections, learning and memory. This is a great oil for everyone!

Oil of Community: Inhale when you are feeling separated, disconnected, and unable to connect with others. This is especially great for disconnected kids lacking in social skills.*
Cedarwood is calming to the mind.6
Simply inhale it and let it do its job. Add it to the diffuser and help everyone in the environment be more chilaxed. This is great for the home, school and office. This is especially great for children who are prone to anxious feelings. When children are shy and do not feel comfortable making friends, I would dilute it with Fractionated Coconut Oil and massage it on their body or at least on their feet focusing on the big toes each morning before they go to school.
Emotionally Cedarwood is the Oil of Community. When we feel different and separated from the rest of humanity, using Cedarwood oil can help us connect to others. It assists in feeling safe as we form bonds of love and friendship.
To form healthy bonds one needs to feel belonging. Fitting in and belonging is very different. Fitting in means conforming too much, belonging means being accepted the way you are as a unique part of the whole.
It is very important that we have a connection with this world where we are all interdependent on each other. No one can work alone. If we do, then we will feel like the burden is too great and we worry that we can’t do it. That stress and anxiety leads to tummy concerns. If left unchecked, that tummy concerns can lead to skin issues over time. If you think about the skin issues, it’s about irritation at self and the world. It is like you are tearing yourself up inside and outside. When we allow ourselves to connect, trust and work together as a community again our physical body also connects itself up.

I fully love and accept my unique qualities as part of the society
SPIRIT
I the Bible, in the book of Leviticus, Cedarwood is mentioned in cleansing the Lepers.
Cedarwood spiritually connects people together and helps us work as a community as we progress together. We feel a sense of purpose when we are connected.
The energy of this world is connected. When war is happening on one side of the world, the other side feels the darkness too. When we think of a person in our minds, our energy has reached out across the oceans and seas to that person. There are so many times when I prayed for a friend and she would say, that she was just thinking of me too no matter how far we are from each other. The space is just an illusion. Like the space in every cell, somehow even with all that space, the little pieces of each cell can work together for the common goal. When the little pieces of the cells don’t work together illnesses results.
