Black Spruce Oil
Stability
Black Spruce is both grounding and stabilizing. Of all the grounding oils, the spruces are the most effective. Spruces are especially helpful in times of crisis, shock, or trauma. During such experiences, a person’s energy may splinter, causing emotional disruption. These trees stabilize an individual’s energy, helping them return to a grounded, balanced state.
Black Spruce has mastered the art of energy conservation and endurance. Black Spruce trees teach individuals how to regulate their physical energy by listening to their body’s rhythms and needs. Black Spruce models how to persevere through the storms of life by drawing strength from one’s roots. It offers a model of vitality and longevity through living in harmony with nature’s cycles and seasons. Spruce can also assist individuals who feel depleted of energy to renew themselves. It helps those who struggle with extreme moods to find balance and moderation.
Black Spruce is an ally in dealing with fear, especially sub- conscious, generational fears. All individuals hold genetic and DNA memories from the generations that have gone on before. At times, individuals may struggle under the weight of fears that didn’t originate with them. Black Spruce helps them gain clarity about fear based memories and release them from the mind and body-freeing themselves and
others in the process.
