the Mind/body/spirit Connection Posted: 11-30-06 01:25am
The spiritual dimension of essential oils
is well known and has been used by people
throughout recorded history. Indeed,
from the earliest times it is clear that
people have been using essential oils - or
the materi¬als they are extracted from -
in prayer, meditation, ritual,
purification, and celebration. The
association between aroma and spirituality
is not simply aesthetic, but grows from
the fact that people find themselves more
easily able to experience the spiritual
while cer¬tain aromas are being used.
The aroma seems to facili¬tate a
connection with the spiritual dimension,
making it a sort of highway to the soul.
