Chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemum is the oil of Overcoming Sorrows.  Chrysanthemum reminds you to have confidence that you can overcome all sorrows and heartaches.  Allow the bright, divine rays of hope to uphold you as you pass through your sorrows.  Break through any darkness you might be holding onto in your heart.  Shine light and understanding onto your life’s journey.

For over 2000 years, the chrysanthemum has signified life and rebirth in Asia.  Chinese Buddhists believe chrysanthemum has strong Yang energy.  Yang energy can be described as fast-moving, energetic, loud, active, and brightly lit like the sun.  Yang is represented by clearly visible angles and straight lines.  The Chinese believes chrysanthemum symbolizes long life as well as good luck in the home.  The Japanese people love the chrysanthemum flower because it blossoms perfectly symmetrical.  The Japanese found so much joy in chrysanthemum that they made it their Imperial Seal representing perfect mothers and the sun.  They even have a Chrysanthemum Festival or Festival of Happiness, representing immortality.  In Europe the chrysanthemum signifies an expression of sympathy.  For Australians, chrysanthemum represents mothers.

Like a gentle and strong mother, Chrysanthemum essential oil reminds you to honor your loved ones who have passed by remembering their legacy with joy and happiness.  The yellow chrysanthemum symbolizes overcoming the love unreceived or sorrows in the heart.  It invites you to open your heart wide and accept love and healing.

Celebrate life and allow chrysanthemum to assist you in your recovery.  Allow the bright yellow rays of hope to heal your whole body.  Feel the divine protection of the influence of God’s love.  Allow the warmth and brightness of divine powers to make you whole again.
