Brazil Nut helps one develop a healthy ego by its spiritualizing effects, and this improved self-esteem helps one develop more confidence in decision-making. It opens the emotional body, releasing aspects of past patterns unconsciously suppressed. These can relate to past lives, but more typically relate to childhood emotional experiences that have been buried. Sometimes the buried experience will come to the surface to be released, sometimes it will release on its own without full understanding. This essence is also helpful for releasing radiation. It is a good preventative to use during traumatic experiences to avoid future emotional scarring.
