Scots Pine illumines the mind's eye to bring subtle awareness and penetrating insight. It helps clarity of vision and encourages different ways of seeing. Scots Pine also improves one's ability to be patient and to persevere and allow one to be more forgiving as a result. This is particularly the case when there is a disappointment with oneself for failing to live up to one's expectations. This essence is very good for helping to achieve and maintain deep meditative states.
