Essential Oils
Eucalyptus Oil
Eucalyptus oil is distilled from the leaves and steams of the Eucalyptus tree. There are over 700 species and over 500 produce essential oils. The Eucalyptus tree is native to Australia and is known as one of the most useful trees in the world. Whilst Eucalyptus oil has gained popularity in the west for its anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties, its traditionally used by the Aboriginal peoples of Australia for many healing purposes. Eucalyptus oil has a minty fresh scent with citrus overtones. Like pine tree, Eucalyptus trees are fire adapted trees where they have to be burned by fireso that they can grow.

From Morgana
Like many people, my relationship with Eucalyptus goes all the way back to early childhood, where it was a frequently used remedy for all kinds of muscle aches, sniffles, coughs and fevers and a potent germ buster. So it might seem like a strange inclusion on a list of essential oils for Unbecoming.
However, all of the physical properties of Eucalyptus have spiritual counterparts. It’s excellent for helping you keep a clear and level head when your emotions are hitting fever-high temperatures, and is a powerful tool for clearing all kinds of negative energies from your home and spiritual body – making it perfect for clearing everything (and everyone) after an argument.

Practice Reminder
A very simple way to use it is simply to pop a drop or two onto a cloth handkerchief or even a cotton ball and keep in your pocket for when you want to take it out and clear your head. When the smell starts to fade, add another drop or make a new cotton ball.
Always make sure to check all safety information for any oil before you try using it. For more information, get the download here.
Why I picked these oils
When I was choosing the oils to accompany Unbecoming the book was already written and had already been read by 100s of people around the world. Adding them wasn’t a planned part of the book, but rather an acknowledgement of what the work actually takes - Unbecoming doesn’t happen in isolation, but in practice, with tools that support you every day, even when you’re not actively “doing the work”.
Over the 2 years since I completed writing on the first edition, I’ve been reflecting on what tools and guides have best accompanied my own Unbecoming throughout life, as it’s a process I’ve essentially always been in. Beyond that, which have best served mentees in my various different roles as a leader and facilitator of spiritual growth, over the past 27 years. The more I looked, the more I realised essential oils were everywhere - they were literally the reason I was thrown out of church in the first place.
The six oils I selected ultimately reflect the needs we have when we’re cut loose from a reality that felt real to us, albeit restrictive and ill-fitting, and begin to create anew. We need to cleanse negative energies with a clear head (eucalyptus), and to reconnect to nature and our own true nature (virginian cedarwood). We need to take back our power (ginger) and to ground into and amplify our own being and intentions (black pepper). We need to heal our wounds, grieve and move forwards positively (marjoram) and to consider what our own Unbecoming means for past, present and future generations, reconciling where we’ve been with where we wish to go as we move forwards, individually and collectively (Siberian fir).
These oils are all incredibly potent on their own, but also offer many beautiful blending options to meet your changing needs day-by-day as you explore your own Unbecoming and the infinite expansion it offers.
