The gorilla is the largest and heaviest of the hominid family. Adult males can reach a height of approximately 6,56ft (2 m) and weigh up to 440lb (200 kg). It is an inhabitant of tropical forests and the cloud forests in Central Africa. The Western Gorilla can be found from southeastern Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon, to the Republic of Congo, mainly in the western part of Congo.

Gorilla in Mythology: Gorillas play an important role in the mythology of many African people. In India, the monkey God Hanuman is worshipped. In Egypt, the mandrels were considered sacred animals. According to archaeological findings, it would be possible that in Ancient Egypt they have even been embalmed and buried.

The gorilla in the interpretation of dreams: It refers to strength and ingenuity. The question that appears is: In what area of my life am I willing to be strong and soft at the same time?

Gorilla Essence: It promotes vitality and strength and teaches us to use our strength with wisdom and softness.

On the body level: Gorilla essence helps strengthen our vitality and our life force. The essence is particularly suitable for people who seem to have no initiatives or strength.

On another level, it helps us be in the right place within social structures and be able to accept and perform our corresponding roles whilst being able to use our skills at the service of the group in pursuit of the common welfare.

On the spiritual level: It helps us accept higher structures and even the Lord, our Creator. We learn to overcome our ego and to put it in the service of God.
