Patchouli essential oil brings a sense of the sacredness of life.  It is also a fragrance of action, knowing that no ideal will occur unless we take the first steps to make it happen.  It reminds us that sitting quietly under a tree is good, if there is purpose in it; the purpose of knowing and appreciating.
Patchouli assists in our connection with the planet and the past vibrational patterns that we may encounter upon our journey.  Dispels negativity and promotes good dreams. Energetically patchouli increases energy/attention in the sensory levels and the outer fields, causing the spiritual self to drop into the physical body. Patchouli also slows down the sense of time perception.
