What is Cassia
Cassia is the sister of Cinnamon and is an evergreen tree originally from Southern China, it has a warm, spicy aroma and is a very hot or caustic oil and should always be heavily diluted with a carrier oil such as fractionated coconut oil if being used on the skin.
How to Use Cassia
Try using Cassia in a cacao blend for some extra spice and warmth and to open your heart and invigorate your senses.
Cassia is a powerful immune supporting oil, pop it in the diffuser in Winter for both its warming and immune supporting properties, try diffusing it with Ginger, Cardamom and Lemon.
Cassia has known digestive supporting properties, you could try putting a drop of Cassia in an empty veggie capsule with a drop of Lemon and Fennel essential oils.
Emotional Properties
Cassia is the Oil of Self Assurance according to the Essential Emotions book.
Try my Unconditional Self Love blend in a spritzer and spritz over yourself as a reminder to love yourself in ALL of your absolute humanness.
When I Tune Into Cassia
I think confidence is knowing how deeply loveable and worthy you are- in the all-ness of being a fallible human on plant earth.
We get it wrong. Our emotions are often misguided by previous trauma. We all have our shit. But how we feel about ourselves and our capacity to love ourselves in ALL of it- that’s the magic.
Confidence is a mindset.
It’s the way you carry yourself.
It’s the messages you choose to tell yourself.
It’s something you cultivate.
From within.
Not something found externally.
How deeply and unconditionally are you willing to love yourself?
How much tenderness and compassion do you allow yourself?
How much pleasure, play, fun, love and laughter do you let in?
How much patience do you gift yourself?
Do you allow yourself complete freedom of fully embodied self expression?
Are you ok with your humanness, with your all-ness.
Can you handle and integrate your shadow, rage, fear, pain, grief, sadness, scared little boy/girl and love yourself in ALL of it.
How much compassion can you have when your fears come up?
Unconditional love of self is the most life altering magic available to you.
And damn that shit is magnetic af.
From that space you get to call it ALL in.
The best part it’s a choice.
A practice.
That can be constantly deepened.
You doing so gives others even more permission to go all in on themselves and creates a ripple effect of profound healing.
When you embrace ALL of yourself.
And allow Cassia to remind you to stop shit talking yourself.
You leave so much more room to actually truly see and recognise your own magnificence.
Take the time to truly look in the mirror. And see how beautiful or handsome you really are. With ALL of your imperfections and uniqueness.
See how your heart radiates through your eyes and smile.
Take it in and witness yourself as a dear friend or lover would.
Knowing you are that number one friend and lover to yourself.
If you start to feel cold, numb and bitter.
Use Cassia to remind you of the warmth and spice of life.
Of the love in your own heart. That can be accessed whenever you choose.
When you’re ready to stop holding back and hiding.
Use Cassia to support you to stand tall and strong, to be seen, felt and experienced in all of your magnificence.
To let people really feel and experience your heart.
To allow love and community right in. Deep.
Cassia supports you to be done with allowing fear to hold you back from your mission to make even more of a difference in peoples lives.
Cassia helps ease any fear of making mistakes and reminds you that to withhold your gifts from the world, from those that could benefit, is to be selfish.
Breathe into confidence, joy and step out into the world, knowing you are right where you need to be, you are here for a reason and go make the change you’ve always dreamed of.
Cassia will support the weaving and unfolding of your dreams.
Those dreams are accessible when you allow yourself to be free and seen- you are truly magnetic.
This is one of my favourite Sarah Blondin quotes-
“When we are lonely, it is our own love we are most lonely for.”
This Deepest Self, 10 Day Audio Course- Insight Timer
