or the problem&hellip; pardon my pun &ndash; you can better see the light at the end of the tunnel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You no longer feel so alone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can&rsquo;t speak for anyone but myself, but feeling that connection can snap me out of any rut I&rsquo;m in.

They believed that placing a cedar tree adjacent to the front door protected the home from witches entering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, regardless of how it was used, it was used to ward off something.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, sacred Cedarwood can be used to energetically ward off the uneasy feeling of being ungrounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you use Cedarwood, be sure to set the intention of what you would like it to work on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise, it could get distracted and ward off something else within your being.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, that is a great rule of thumb to remember when working with any essential oil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intention is everything. Use without intention leads to miscommunication.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#10084;&#65039; Related Post: <a href=\"https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/best-incense-for-cleansing\/\" data-lasso-id=\"9738\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Best Incense for Cleansing Yourself, Your Home &amp; Your Crystals<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Ginger\"><\/span><strong>4.
