Description
Energetic Properties: This essential oil forces us to confront inauthentic parts of ourselves. It resonates with pure essence and will guide you unendingly into situations that force you to confront old, outdated behaviors and ways of being. You may at first feel startled and wonder what on earth happened. It could feel like a loss or that your whole life is being shaken up but underneath the sudden changes, you will slowly realize that Davana is inviting you home. I wrote the following about Davana after dreaming about this oil.
“She’s the best of you, the purest of you. She’s the sensitive, intuitive, naturally perceptive part of you. She’s beautiful and authentically herself. Her lover contrasts her lightness with his earthiness, his wildness. She loves him and he loves her – they are one. Wholeness is her signature, effortless wholeness. She is the part of you that you have been searching for, she is the part your partner fell in love with within you and within himself. She is pure feminine and yet she dances with her masculine – it is this union that makes her whole. From her divine wholeness comes her creative force – again effortless. It is born from her and held by her inner masculine so it can take form in the world. She is what others fear when they have not met her in themselves. For nothing can own her, she is freedom in its purest form.”
