Aromatherapy
Most of what is written about aromatherapy is the physiological effects of the chemical constituents of the essential oils of plant material. However, essential oils can also cleanse, release and balance thoughts and emotions, and open pathways to higher consciousness. And yet the effect of essential oils on the mind, emotions, and spirit (MES) is the direct result of their ability to physiologically change the central nervous system and key brain centers. The limbic mid-brain is the center of emotions and memories. Within the limbic lobe are the amygdala gland, which stores and releases emotional trauma, and the hippocampus, which is responsible for long-term memory. Scientists now understand that memories are also retained at the cellular level, and essential oils have a unique ability to penetrate and oxygenate cells. Essential oils can clear the "fight or flight" sympathetic nervous system response of traumatic memories while encouraging a calm, relaxed parasympathetic response. Special glands of the brain are thought to be the doorway to spiritual experiences: the pineal activates inner sight, and the master pituitary and hypothalamus regulate the entire endocrine system, which is the conduit of spiritual experiences. The use of essential oils with clear presence and intention to restore balance and wholeness to the MES bodies is called Subtle Aromatherapy. It is the application of single essential oils and specific blends to the energetic pathways of the body, such as chakras, meridians, acupuncture points, nadis, subtle bodies, and emotional reflex points.
