Patchouli helps protect the central nervous system and the brain. It connects the brain back to the body again. Our body sends signals and messages all the time to the brain. When our brain is caught in worries and thoughts, it misses the the messages that our body is sending to the brain. We feel hunger, fatigue and all sorts of discomforts in our body. The brain needs to register these messages from the body and act on it quickly or else we eventually feel unwell.
There are some people, especially some women who do not love their body and tend to neglect its needs. They don’t even want to look at themselves in the mirror! They rather be in their heads all day. Patchouli encourages people to love their body more. Rub patchouli on the body especially on their legs and affirm to self the beauty and wonder of your body every day. When we show more love for the body and accept it as it is NOW, the body actually releases tension and stress.1You will find that your body will heal in all sorts of ways.
Patchouli is great for skin and tissues anywhere on the body. Add Patchouli to moisturizers and lotions. Use it often to protect the skin and reduce signs of aging.23

SPIRIT
We all have an internal compass inside of our body to help us on our earthly sojourn. Have you heard the sayings: ‘follow your heart!’ or ‘I have a gut feeling about this’? That is about our internal compass! When we honor this communication from of our body, we will discover hidden gems and direction for our lives. I found this to be powerful and hope that everyone learns to honor their body more so they too can find their passions and purpose. We feel fulfilled when we honor our ‘heart’ and ‘gut’ instincts.
We are also here to learn to work with our amazing body. We are spiritual beings living a physical life. I believe we will learn a lot of spiritual lessons from clues in our body. In the eternities, our body will be fused with our spirit for ever. Might as well start working well with this body!!
