Years ago, at the beginning of my Nature’s Spirit journey I almost always anointed my hair with a mixture of YlangYlang
extra superior along with a dab of Vetyver. In reflection I suppose I needed to keep my self stable on this Earth as I allowed
my Spirit to be elevated as and resonate on that plane.I have added Bulgarian Rose along with Frankincense sacra with
Vetyver to anoint my hair as I embarked into the land of dreams. Mnmmmm,…….very soothing to the Soul. Vetyver will speak
