Pine tree is an ally for those who are hard on themselves, feel as if they have done something wrong or that their beingness is wrong, and for those who blame themselves for things they have done in the past or not done. For those with a strong inner critic or self-deprecating thoughts as it aids in quieting that voice, welcoming the freedom to love the self more fully. It helps in releasing guilt, shame, resentment and any self-inflicted wounds and encourages one to embrace a more self-accepting and self-respecting disposition.

This essence was created on a waxing crescent moon in Aries, then moved to Taurus from sunset to sunrise, taking in the moonlight as well as the potent golden hours of the sun. It received the blessing of a rainstorm, containing sweet, filtered rainwater as well as the empowerment to “move through the eye of the storm.”
