I hope you enjoyed the last class! I learned so much while reading it and found myself looking at my beliefs and thinking of the things I do to align in each of the areas represented by the chakras. It goes to show us that in all belief systems, there is something we can learn from one another. I trust you also found some valuable information within it as well! Now for another great class written by the same author. I hope you enjoy this one as well.

What is Meditation?

Meditation is an experience that engages your mind and can offer both relaxation and energizing benefits. It develops a mind-body connection that encompasses fitness, health, and wellness. Essential Oils are a great way to further deepen that connection and ignite your inner senses.  Meditation exercises when practiced regularly can be powerful, calming the nerves and bringing the mind to a restful state. Research is showing that meditation may physically change the brain and the body and can potentially improve health and promote healthy behavior.

How Essential Oils Work

Of the five senses, our sense of smell is the most primitive and most closely associated with our emotions and how our body respond to them. Essential oils can activate the limbic region of the brain to release emotions that are stored there, including emotions that have been stored in our DNA from previous generations. Together with a balanced diet, nutrition, adequate exercise and water, Aromatherapy can help you achieve a healthier, more balanced lifestyle. It can become a part of your daily routine and when paired with other mind body exercises can also help to gently access the deeper, unconscious levels of physical process, including the release of habitual tensions and emotional blocks.

How Essential Oils can Enhance Meditation and Yoga Practice

Essential oils are a great tool for deepening your meditation or yoga practice. One of the ways to help you enter a meditative state is to use essential oils that bring focus, clarity, relaxation and spiritual connection. You can choose a single oil that your intuition tells you is perfect for you in this moment, or you can choose or create your own blends that help you relax.

Because of their thousands of benefits, essential oils are able to stimulate deep breathing, therefore improving this aspect of your yoga practice. The practice of yoga includes holding postures (asanas) and observing prana (life force energy) in the body to strengthen the connection we have to the energy flow in our bodies. Essential oils are known to aid in this process, and further support the practice of yoga through aromatherapy.

The quickest ways to bring your body back into balance is through natural therapies such as Aromatherapy, Meditation and Reiki. Both meditation and essential oils help to stimulate the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. When paired together they do wonders for managing emotional wellness and releasing negative thoughts and feelings. The more these tools are used, and in conjunction with each other, the quicker we can stimulate the relaxation response when we find our self in a stressful situation.

Simple Ways to Use Essential Oils

Simple ways to use essential oils during yoga and meditation practices are to apply essential oils topically at specific points such as the wrists, behind the ears or the third-eye or heart chakra, or use a diffuser.
