'Eyes in the Knees' Ritual Oil (To Move Forward, Adapt and Be Flexible)
This listing is for one 30ml bottle of 'Eyes in the Knees' Ritual Oil from The heART of Ritual.
 
To help you with moving forward; stabilizing, protecting, grounding, supporting and helping you to adapt and be flexible throughout that process. If you fall, it helps you to recover as soon as possible by assisting you to regain your personal balance, get back up, and keep going forward without guilt or shame. The brown-red earth ray encourages you to 'roll with the punches' and helps to lift you back into your Higher Body powers, time and time again. It supports you not to get 'stuck', or if you do get stuck, to get 'unstuck' quickly so that you can walk right out of it and create your own future. This resiliency makes it easier to stay strong and committed to your life's journey, keeping you conscious of every step you take, claiming your future instead of letting you be drowned by the past.
 
Here is what Katrina writes about the 'Eyes in the Knees':
'Our knees give us the ability to literally move our bodies through time and space upon this earth. They connect the bones of each leg, the femur (thigh bone) on the upper leg, and the tibia and fibula, the main bones in the lower leg. In humans, the knees support nearly the entire weight of our bodies. They are complex hinge joints that flex and extend. As the knee flexes the leg goes back. As it extends, the leg moves forward. Thus, we can crawl, stand, walk, run, skip, jump, and dance. With bent knees we are able to touch the ground or kneel in humble prayer. 
 
Since the knees carry the weight of our physical bodies wherever we go, it is no wonder that they are an important location for this next High Body layout, named 'Eyes in the Knees'. It may seem like an unusual name, and the knees may seem to be a peculiar place for High body consciousness to accumulate. Nevertheless, 'Eyes in the Knees' establishes the foundation for the elevated frequencies of the High Human to anchor onto the earth plane and function creatively. 
'Eyes in the Knees' represent a continual state of being that keeps you growing and moving forward on your spiritual path. Your knees have special abilities to help move you in a beneficial direction. Imagine there are eyes painted on the backs of your knees that can only see clearly where you have been. If you have strayed from your spiritual path, 'Eyes in the Knees' will help you change your direction. If you are already on your spiritual path, 'Eyes in the Knees' will help you keep moving forward. 
 
Activated 'Eyes in the Knees' inspires accelerated spiritual growth. When 'Eyes in the Knees' are open, we know exactly where we are going and how to get there. We know where we have been, what was learned from personal experience, and how to incorporate lessons of the past into progression for the future. We know what steps need to be taken to evolve and we take them, one conscious step after another.
 
Steps in advancement taken by 'Eyes in the Knees' can be physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual in nature. If you choose to move on from a damaging emotional state, or a negative mental state, 'Eyes in the Knees' will help you proceed. On the physical level, if you want to go somewhere, the knees will flex and extend as many times as is needed to take you there and back.'

THE FRAMEWORK FOR THIS COLLECTION

Our Winter/Earth Element Collection arrives into the season of Samhain – that threshold between the last new moon of the dying Celtic year in October, astronomical Samhain, and the first new moon of the year to come in November. It is here that endings and beginnings lie folded together – a dreamtime of moons that leads us into the deepest dark – asking us to walk slowly, to walk in Earth time. 

 

This is not the hurried clock-time of the everyday. It is slow time – deep time – recorded in bedrock and fault-line, in layers pressed through clay and shale. As the earth keeps her history in stone and strata, so we carry memory in bone. The land is our larger body – marrow and mountain, clay and skin, each carrying memory. To enter this season is to enter those depths, to map again the contour lines of the inner ground, to feel where the body holds fractures, pressure, weight-bearing, release. The work is slow. The work is old. Stone remembers, and so do we. Our bodies are cairns of remembrance.

​

Between Samhain and Solstice we are pilgrims moving through inner hollows and chambers of the soul. It is sanctuary time, a time of reverence and devotion, where prayer is not passive but visceral and embodied – where we kneel not before idols but within the tabernacle of our own being. The ember of light is entrusted to us here, and it must be guarded with care – fanned in trust, sheltered in hope, nourished with care, until it kindles to flame and warmth.

​

Samhain is also the season of surrender. To grieve what has passed in the twelve months gone. To honour ancestors, yes, but also to lay down the burdens of the year, the losses and thresholds crossed, the shocks and griefs that linger. As leaves return to soil, so sorrow returns to earth, darkening into humus that feeds what will come. In the body, this work is felt in the earth element – in the musculoskeletal frame, in the gut’s deep work of breaking down and letting go. To release is to create space, and to hold is to become heavy. The earth teaches us this balance, for she both receives and yields in the same breath.

 

This is the annual pilgrimage to the soul’s inner shrine – beyond one life, beyond one line of ancestry. It is the thread that connects us with stone and to soil, with grandmother and grandfather, with all who came before and all who will come after. In this time-out-of-time we reweave ourselves into that thread, into the north, into the slow, enduring rhythm of earth itself. And from that ground – from a living tapestry of blood and bone and surrender – the Solstice light is born again. A flame at the heart of winter.
