Citronella Oil
Averting
Citronella is potent for/at repelling unwanted invaders from the body and energy field. While it’s best to try and avert invasion or contamination from harmful organisms or energies, it is not always possible.Citronella also assists individuals in expelling undesirables once they have been established.
The invitation from Citronella is to carefully observe what an individual is allowing into their physical, mental, and emotional space and to choose more consciously what they allow into their lives. It reminds that small weeds grow quickly when left unattended.
Citronella is especially helpful when individuals have been unconsciously allowing little irritations and judgments to build up over time. Recurring negative thoughts and reactions accumulate and stagnate in various parts of the body causing havoc. Citronella challenges the individual to reckon with their addiction to feeling agitated and annoyed. It assists in breaking the energetic cycle of constant irritation and teaches how to release these degrading states so they don't continue to prey on the individual’s life force.
