Myrtle - Myrta

Have you ever dreamed of immortality, have you ever allowed yourself to fall into infinite realm where everything is possible already waiting just to be picked up and experienced? For each person it may signify something deep and very personal. Throughout the life we live simultaneously in two worlds.

Material world is where the body operates, eats what was hunted or planted. Works when the season and duty calls to. It runs, hides and dies or survives when limits of the nature and its rhythm have been overstepped. Within this everyday circle we think, react, make plans. We make small strategies then we build something or destroy it, conquer or let go. We create new life then educate it the way we think is right. There is time to rush but no retrospection to the point of loosing touch with the sense that there is more to us. Material world is great but always in the motion.

Soul world waits and holds a storage for memories it lives in the dream, everlasting consciousness and fantasies. In these various romances the soul speaks stories we had prepared for each other the life beforlife. In these stories we do not have to run or hide from a life we have always dreamed of. The soul lights up the way and knows everything about the time already. When the mind goes still and the eyes closes and breath deepens then wild river finally slowsdown.

Since ancient ages this evergreen herb with very strong aromatic fragrance were used during sacred celebrations to reconnect material world with the truths the soul carries. To turn prayers into reality.

This herb has been sacred to Afrodita goddess of love and immortality and there is nothing more immortal than the soul and the dream.

Use : reflection, emotional release and healing, powerful aromatherapy and dreams materialization.
