Mint is the essence of alert presence, pure direction and the freedom of “here and now”! Its freshness and purity may guard your natural calmness and a sense of freedom in your emotional center. This “cleansing breeze” may prevent layers of emotions from difficult situations from building up and help you realize, breathe through, become aware of and “digest” these emotions. Mint can enable you to inhale freely, restoring courage and the power to express yourself naturally and communicate freely to your body – to the solar plexus area. Follow your own path.

The quantity of built up and unexpressed emotions can cause digestive problems, respiratory illness and also pressure in your head, often expressed as migraine headaches. A drop of mint massaged into the pressure area – the temples, nape of your neck or abdomen, or inhaling the essence – can bring almost immediate relief. Just like when you open a window wide in a long unventilated room, you may throw the load off your shoulders and finally inhale freely…
Peppermint has a talent for relaxing and cleansing the third chakra, as it may relax and open the path through the fifth chakra to the center of your liberated intuition (the area of the third eye, the sixth chakra).

Many of us are familiar with commands like “YOU HAVE TO!” and “YOU CAN’T!” and that anxious feeling when your stomach tightens up and, both as a child or an adult, you feel like curling up in a ball and disappearing from the world. But peppermint can enter your inner environment and lift the boulders of anxiety from your soul. It may create a safe, clean space for unobstructed inhalation that contains no manipulation and restrictions. It simply says: “YOU CAN!”... Breathe freely and take pleasure in the joys of life!
