10. Use cinnamon to increase your psychic and intuitive abilities


Burning cinnamon powder with sandalwood powder opens and activates your third eye chakra increasing your psychic abilities, focus and intuition. Do this before a meditative or divination session to attract new insights that will help change your life.


You can also dilute cinnamon essential oil (with a carrier oil) and use it to anoint your third eye chakra. Doing this every morning or night before going to bed can aid spiritual awareness and clarity.


Points to bear in mind.


When it comes to burning cinnamon or using cinnamon essential oils, you need to ensure that you do not use too much or burn it too often. Although cinnamon has numerous health benefits, too much of it can have the opposite effect and can cause dizziness, fatigue, and shakiness.


You also need to be careful about using cinnamon if you are pregnant as this herb can act as a blood thinner so it has the potential to raise the risk of miscarriage if used in large amounts.


As a rule of thumb, always use this herb in small quantities when using for consumption. There is also a possibility of allergies so exercise caution while using.


Conclusion

Even smelling cinnamon can bring back warm memories of cakes being baked in the oven, or Christmas around the fireplace so it is perhaps no surprise that it can be used to raise our vibrations too and make us feel more joyful, focused, and confident.


The prosperity that cinnamon is associated with can come in many forms, from financial gains to finding love or raising self-awareness. So, think about what is missing from your life and use this herb to manifest your own desires! Full article here
