Ocimum Basilicum: Steady, kind but insistent, releases burdens, helps put things in their rightful places, relieves doubts and fear, soothes time.

• For people in need of taking a break, finding a safe place to recover, letting go of burdens and building inner strength so they can carry on.

A group of soldiers have become lost in a forest following a great battle. They are afraid and desperate and night is drawing in.

They fight their way through the undergrowth and all of a sudden, they come across a clearing - hesitantly they enter, but even as they do they know they have found a holy place.

All is still here; there are sweet, soft plants inviting them to rest, to sleep and dream here, and they know they will not just be safe this night, but they will be healed when they awake in the morning.
