Gardenia

Gardenia is the oil of Pure Gentleness.  Gardenia flowers symbolizes purity, gentleness, pure love, joy, elegance, simplicity, and beauty.  This lovely flower invites all to be gentle with themselves and others.

Gardenia encourages you to love and share that love freely.  When you love others, you are trusting them with your heart and hope that they will take care of your heart.  Gardenia reminds you that it is time for renewal and peace.  Have courage to let go of whatever pains or heartaches you may have experienced in the past.  You no longer need to be harsh and angry with yourself or others.  We are all imperfect humans striving to be better.  Allow yourself to have beautiful new beginnings.

Diffuse Gardenia and take time for peaceful self-reflection.  Align yourself to your divine source.  Return to innocence, kindness, gentleness, and humility.  Allow the protective powers of the God’s love to give you strength and courage.  Let your intuition guide you as you continue to offer love and attract greater love into your life.  The right people will naturally come your way.

Focus on being refined by the divine lessons of love.  Step into a new level of sophistication and elegance where you are clear on your divine identity and purpose.  This clarity allows you to dream beautiful dreams.  Dream of developing more ideal and beautiful relationships than ever before.  You no longer allow others to treat you poorly or disrespectfully.  Breathe new hope into your life.  Live at a higher standard.

Accept more intimate relationships that bring you great pleasures and joys.  Recognize your true great value.  Receive better friends and associations into your life.  They are treasures to you, and you are a treasure to them.  You deserve wonderful relationships.
