| Energetic and Emotional Action |
The plant seems to share with us the power to connect with the feminine principle. It takes us on a fast rise towards the superior chakras while providing strength to our legs.
Applied on the base or root chakra, it enhances our connection with Mother Earth, sensual pleasure, self-love and love for others.
Applied on the plexus and frontal chakras, it eases the access to knowledge and psychic communication through dreaming. Sage seems to make dreams clearer and/or to help us remember them.
This plant purifies and tones up the mental body, which allows us to come more easily into contact with joy and peace of mind.
With this oil, women will find a help for mid-life crisis and periods of change and transition.
