Coriander- The Oil of Integrity
Coriander is the oil of integrity, specifically integrity with one’s self. When we need Coriander Oil we may be trapped in a cycle of serving others while neglecting our own needs. We may also have a strong need to do what is right or correct. Often our perspective of the “right” way is too limited and seen from only one perspective. Coriander reminds us that there is more than one way to do something, and that fitting in can require betraying the True Self.
Coriander moves us from doing things for the acceptance of others to honouring and living from the True Self. There are as many ways of being, and each of us must learn our own way of living. Coriander gives us the courage to step out of “the box” and risk being who we really are.
Coriander teaches that we are all a gift to the world with something unique, which no one else has to offer. Only we can be and express our uniqueness. Integrity with self means living in connection with what our spirit urges and directs. Coriander shifts us from needing others’ acceptance to honouring and living from the True Self.
