Aromatherapy Treat!


I have a confession to make. . . . .I love to use aromatherapy when I work with my Tarot cards!  I have worked with these healing essential oils for years, and they are such a joy to add to the occasion. I've studied about aromatherapy in both formal classes, as well as a lot of study on my own, and these gifts from Nature are such an amazing tool for healing on so many levels. When I use them in conjunction with Tarot work, I usually set them to work in either an atomizer or a candle-warmed oil burner. The carefully-chosen combinations are intended to enhance relaxation, meditation, well-being or sense of openness, and they go to work altering the body via the receptors in our nose and the link to our brains, the limbic system. Bodily processes are adjusted and actually modified by these essential oils, and they can actually elevate mood, slow pulse or relax you just by being released into the air you breathe.
I usually include a simple aromatherapy "blend" in my monthly newsletter for you to try. . . .let me know if you do try one, and how you liked it!
