The Atlantic Cedar, a tool for meditation

The Atlas Cedar (Cedrus Atlantica) is a plant named after the Atlas mountain range in Algeria. The name "cedar" comes from the Arabic kedron, meaning "power". The oil extracted from this wood was anciently exported from Lebanon to Egypt, where it was believed to be imperishable and was therefore used in embalming processes, and in the preparation of cosmetics and perfumes. Nowadays, the best oils come from Morocco. Even today, in Tibet, Atlas Cedar is used as incense in temples, as well as in traditional medicine. This essential oil develops a propensity for spirituality and proves to be a great help for meditative practice. Calming and persistent, its aroma elevates mind and psyche, alleviating anxieties and fears. Imposing and regal, it is a symbol of nobility, strength, and grandeur. It provides a sense of protection that is also manifested in the structure of the plant with its long, arm-like branches.
