ARTISTIC
& SKILLED BLENDING... I
choose which essential oils to use for a particular
client on the basis of three key dynamics. 1st
- an analysis of the client's condition based on a
full Medical History.
2nd - an informed evaluation of how presented
conditions can best be treated. And, 3rd -
an extensive knowledge of essential oils---how they
affect the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual
aspects.
Just
before blending, I look at the client and engage
intuitive understanding to make the most appropriate
blend---to include the spiritual aspect. As the molecular
structures of the essential oils are joined together
in a chemical process, their colours glow, their voices
sing.
Only
when they are fully blended, and have become something
more than the sum of their separate effects---producing
a synergistic effect---only then do I add the most
suitable carrier oils and whirl the bottle around
in my hands.
At
that most energetic point, I concentrate with
love and intention on God's Goodness, God's Faithfulness
and His Loving Provision of all the plants from which
these essences came. I mindfully recall the sacredness
of the fragrance, and the joy they bring. Those thoughts
will be transmitted to the blend as I gently roll
the bottle between my hands, energising the mixture.
At
this point, my mind becomes blank---cleared of
thoughts---and briefly escapes the confines of time
and space. A feeling of Complete Peace
pervades my workspace and bids me to harmonise with
the oils and work with them. The energy of the oils
is palpable and I linger in this unseen world for
a brief moment, luxuriating in the universal energies
of which we are all a part.
Then
I return to the client and continue treatment in a
clinical way, not again thinking about the essential
oils, or imposing any thoughts upon them. The blend
performs its own mission, transporting the precious
molecules that will connect with receptors throughout
the body.
We
are the go-betweens, carrying the catalyst ---
The Essential & Carrier Oils --- which
will help the mind, body, and spirit to heal itself.
Although
prayer is not something tangible, something you
can hold in your hand or measure in a laboratory,
its effects are. Many miraculous healings and divine
interventions have been accomplished through prayer.
These
positive thought patterns---prayer and affirmations---are
vibrations that can be transmitted to essential
oils, especially when blending. Being a woman of deep-rooted
faith in a Living & Active God, prayer and believing
are natural quiet companions in my work.
