EARTH WISDOM: JUNIPER

Botanical name: Juniperus Californica

Junipers are evergreen trees with needle-like leafs that give way to healing deep blue berries. 

Plants metabolize sun rays into energy for the well being of all life on Earth. Each plant and tree species has a unique spirit or energy form, a consciousness we are able to connect with if we expand our awareness and tune in.

There are some who believe the juniper is one of our spiritual guardians. Natives once burned the needles of juniper for purifying spaces, the luminous energy field and in ceremony and ritual.

Juniper fortifies and purifies our spiritual will, energetically increasing the crystalline light structure of the etheric body, creating an expansion of consciousness. This allows more light assimilation in the physical body, bringing deep feelings of unconditional love. Juniper also cleanses and purifies the physical and emotional body, releasing stagnant thought patterns of anger, frustration, irritability and anxiety. It opens our heart chakra aligning us with our Soul group and bringing in feelings of safety and protection. (Deborah Eidson, Vibrational Healing)

On a physical level, the needles and berries may be boiled into an immune strengthening tea that helps heal ones digestive system, pulling energy into the solar plexus chakra.
