  • Fancy simplifying the beginning of your meditation? One drop of spikenard oil on your heart and you will experience the Zen attitude.
  • Whether the bottle is labelled ‘Spirituality’ or ‘Spikenard’ makes absolutely no difference other than to clarify that one of them is a liquid...
 
There are countries where faith seems to be the only recourse to precarious survival.
There are countries where faith seems to arise from its mere presence in this place ...
Where is this place which imposes its greatness to the soul that lingers to get a body?
 
Himalayan spikenard grows there precisely.
 
Between 3,500 and 5,600 meters above sea level is the natural place for spikenard in its wild splendour. It grows on slopes with gradients that would scare the most acclimatised of the Yetis. And it is thanks to strange roots that it takes up the challenge of growing in this unexpected environment for a flower, but that suits her so well.
 
Its roots are fleshy and red as they tend to be a little bit above the ground. Do they participate in rooting into something bigger than the side of a mountain? Perhaps in life itself?
 
This delicate valerianacea reminds you of its family through its corymbs of tiny pink flowers. Corymbs that are stretched out on the ground.
 
Here ... its roots look at Heaven and its flowers at the Earth. As a bridge that lies between Heaven and the Earth and leaves it to the next generation at the end of each year, it makes us remember that it is up to us to look within ourselves for the sense of bridges and directions in which we make our existential reflections go.
 
Its preciousness lies in its unusual living place, high in the Himalayas. It then translates into the conditions in which it is harvested: when a thick blanket of snow covers the slopes under which the discovery of the nectar of spikenard is risky and rather intuitive therefore. Lastly, it is precious due to the hassle pickers have to go through to collect every drop of the precious elixir of this plant.
 
History made it sound precious but it is only due to a mistranslation actually... In fact, Mary Magdalene never anointed Jesus Christ's feet with spikenard. If several fragrances were called Nard at the time, all biblical stories agree that it was not what we now call spikenard. There is an ongoing discussion about what kind it could have been, but there's one thing we can be sure of: Spikenard is as precious a jewel as if it were the real story. And just to assert its importance in History, let's remember that Mogul Empress Nur Jehan used to use spikenard as an elixir of youth.
