Daily Aromatherapy : Transforming the Seasons of Your Life with Essential Oils

"Daily Aromatherapy" brings the transformative qualities of nature's aromas into the lives of readers on a daily basis. "Transforming", as it is used in this book, means changing our state of mind. If the intention exercises in this book are practised, positive changes can be experienced. The book follows the seasons of the year as they correlate to the symbolic seasons of the human soul. Spring is the season of optimism and new beginnings. It represents the hopeful, childhood years of your life. Summer is the season of activity and manifesting your heart's desire. It represents the dynamic, young-adult years of your life. Autumn is the season to reflect on your life, to accept, to forgive, and to heal. Autumn represents your insightful, mid-life years. Winter is the season to rest, restore, and rejuvenate. Winter represents your wise and spiritual senior years.Each month of the year profiles and explores the psychological and subtle energy aspects of four different essential oils-one per week. Forty-eight different oils are profiled in this way. Readers will experience and come to know each oil well with seven different intention exercises: an affirmation, emotional self-discovery questions, a ceremony, a blessing, an activity, a visualization, and a prayer. While aromatherapy is a holistic modality, affecting the body, mind, and spirit, the focus of "Daily Aromatherapy" is on the psychological and the subtle realms. The physical applications of essential oils, such as used for colds and flu or muscle strain, are not included. However, the book's authors believe that physical health is impacted positively by psychological and spiritual well-being.
