Oil of Amber – Dominican

This amber from the Dominican Republic is from an extinct tree that grew 24 million years ago, and had such copious sticky sap that it is famous for its inclusions. 

Like all of our Amber Oils, this one is protective to energy and vitality, but the Dominican is unique in that its protective quality is more like a filter, rather than the barrier quality of the others.

In our meditations with this Amber Oil, we were shown sharp, fierce rays of protection emanating from the subtle body, while at the same time, tendrils of sensitivity reached out to draw in positive qualities. Awareness is very expansive, and untroubled by chaos or movement around, and the attention is open and porous, yet protected and safe.

The images that came through showed how each natural being interacts with the same elements- water, sun, wind- but in a unique way, taking what supports that being’s life and leaving the rest for another being. To a tree, the wind is a challenge to become stronger; while to the hawk, the wind is a vehicle of uplift.

We feel this Amber Oil would be useful in all kinds of spiritual practice, allowing useful energies in while protecting from harmful ones. It would also be helpful in daily life situations where protection needs to be balanced with openness.
