1/24/2022

0 Comments

 
Since ancient times, plant essences have been used for healing thru various means. The benefits of these essences have been experienced thru incense, perfumes, aromatic waters and embalming ointments.

Though Aromatherapy has been mentioned in several ancient healing techniques such as Ayurveda, the term “Aromatherapy” was coined in much recent times by the French Chemist, Rene Gattefosse. Aroma therapeutic healing is considered a very gentle and non-intrusive means of healing and is supposed to be suitable for people from all age-groups.
​
One of Aromatherapy’s most known and noted benefits is in the use of essential oils to relax and rejuvenate people i.e. in reducing stress and relieving stress related conditions such as anxiety, hypertension, insomnia and depression.

Aromatherapy involves utilizing mainly essential oils though at times one may also use herbal distillates and essential waters. An essential oil is any concentrated, hydrophobic liquid containing volatile aroma compounds from plants, which are called aromatic herbs or aromatic plants. They are also known as volatile or ethereal oils, or simply as the "oil of" the plant material from which they were extracted, such as oil of clove. Essential oils are extremely strong and potent and should never be used on the body by itself! It is best administered for massage by mixing with carrier oils.

Common carrier oils are Apricot Kernel, Avocado, Grape Seed, Hemp Seed, Jojoba, Sweet Almond and Grape Seed Oil.

    Our Journey to "Oneness" 

    It is a journey and like all journeys, it is set with many moments of challenges and accomplishments. 

    But when one's heart is true and the decision is made to "be the best that one can be", then each challenge merely seems like a stepping stone, to be overcome to reach and experience new heights of existential living.

    Hope you find these notes inspiring enough to initiate your own journey...
     
    ​What else will you find here??

    Here you will find thoughts, ideas, musings and  insights which make us reflect on the nature of our life and reality. I hope that these will connect with you. 


    These articles address the various insights, lessons and at times modern-interpretations of techniques and methods of ancient wisdom (particularly Vedic Culture) and also Shamanism, Buddhism, Druid- Paganism, Sufi Islam and Taoism. 

    It tries to bring the wisdom of ancient, insightful ways to benefit a modern, evolving and conscious lifestyle.

    Frankly it brings many of the spiritual concepts to  a "real  life" level!!

    Think of this guidance as "Spirituality for the Rest of Us"... folks who  have families,  careers,  material goals & ambitions  and so on... the ones  who cannot simply extrapolate what  typical spiritual gurus and guides say, when they live special monastic lives.  


    Each one of us may have different life situations but ultimately we are all ONE life and we all go thru these myriads of situations, experiences, thoughts and feelings at some point or other in time. 

    Read along and see how these lessons, insights and guidance can help you to chalk out your own path to 'One-ness'- where you are successful, healthy and Happy.   
    ​

    Do let me know of your experiences.

    I would love to read about them and promise to respond as much as possible.
