It could fall on a planet that was entirely stone, or gas, or ice, or fire and it would never find it's way into any form of living consciousness through which it could perceive itself. The sun's light flows into the atmosphere and across the surface of the earth. If we were able to see the entire process we would know that this oil originates in the sun and reaches its fulfilment in our awareness. "Many processes of life have made it possible for the oil to come to us and many more processes continue as we inhale it. The speech was delivered by David Crow, a master herbalist, aromatherapist and acupuncturist. TCM is over 2000 years old and has evolved over time, and essential oils can be used in this framework, to help bring ourselves back to a state of balance.īefore I get into that, I would like to begin with part of a speech on essential oils that I found inspiring, thought-provoking and poetic. I’m introducing how you may use essential oils based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Therefore it is also a great time to invite more balance into your life and take in different perspectives. Just as there are ways to live life in a more positive yin, such as getting enough sleep and relaxation, doing a relaxing yin yoga class, taking an aromatherapy bath, having a massage, being with people in a supportive space and so on.Īs it is now Spring which is a time of growth, where life force is abundant in nature and people, this is an auspicious time for new beginnings. There are ways to live life in positive yang, such as doing some exercise, doing some work - especially work that you are passionate about, creating, and so on. On the contrary, too much sitting around (yin) and not enough exercise (yang) also leads to imbalance and lack of energy (to gain energy, you need to use it). Too much doing (yang), and not enough time being (yin) leads to imbalance (emotionally, mentally and energetically) and physiological stress.
In this modern world it is easy to become imbalanced with so many responsibilities such as family, work, friends, house duties as well as distractions everywhere - from social media, to gossip, as well as bad news, and social issues. Aromatherapy is an art and a science, and in addition to the physiological effects essential oils have on the body, essentials oils also expand our consciousness, and can help to balance our energies.
