Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is the use of volatile plant oils for preventative care, healing and general physical well-being. Although the term aromatherapy was not used until the 20th Century, the foundations of Aromatherapy date back thousands of years and can be traced back through to ancient Roman, Greek, Egyptian and Chinese cultures.

Essential oils can be used in different ways, including massage, bathing and inhalation. When essential oils are inhaled, olfactory receptor cells are stimulated and the impulse is transmitted to the emotional centre of the brain, or “limbic system”. The limbic system is connected to areas of the brain linked to memory, breathing, and blood circulation, as well as the endocrine glands that regulate hormone levels in the body. The properties of the oil, the fragrance and its effects, determine stimulation of these systems. When used in massage, essential oils are not only inhaled, but absorbed through the skin as well. They penetrate the tissues and find their way into the bloodstream where they are transported to the organs and systems of the body. Different oils are thought to act on the body in different ways, having a relaxing, energizing, calming or uplifting effect.

Popular because of its non-invasive nature, aromatherapy is used for a wide range of health problems such as anxiety, stress, insomnia, anxiety and stress related conditions. Many people find it useful in treating arthritic and rheumatoid pain, headaches, and pre-menstrual tension. It is sometimes available in maternity services and is widely used in palliative and cancer care in hospitals and hospices. Some people also use aromatherapy just for its relaxation effects.

Therapists need to be made aware of any health problems the patient may have, particularly cardiac, respiratory, neurological or dermatological conditions, as some essential oils have to be avoided for people with these conditions. There is also the possibility of some essential oils interacting with prescribed medications, so patients should check with their GP as well as informing their therapist of any medication they are taking. Pregnant women are advised to avoid essential oils in the first 16 weeks of pregnancy and some should not be used at all during pregnancy.

Emotional Synaesthesia: The Science of Auras by Kephri Ra

The Aura, which is a halo of coloured light surrounding a person, whose colours and patterns change according to that persons health, mood, intentions, spiritual condition, and so on, is a staple of ‘New Age’ theories and spiritual paths. It is phenomena which people have claimed to have seen for as long as such observations have been recorded (and probably a hell of a lot longer). There are even special photographic techniques which can be used to get a picture of a person’s aura. And as part of the multi-billion dollar new age industry that has sprung up over recent decades there are now a multitude of professional aura readers, along with many, many books in the stores which supposedly teach interested candidates how to read auras for themselves.

The attitude of the scientific establishment to such things is, of course, that it must be a load of rubbish, and that people who claim to be able to see these auras are either con artist out to make a quick buck from gullible and naive ’seekers’, or they are poor self-delude fools. It has always been my own opinion, however, that the scientific establishment discounts such phenomena far too readily, without putting any real effort into providing a scientific explanation for what large numbers of people seem to experience as real.

colourful aura surrounds us

The problem is that scientists base their judgments solely on the explanation given for particular phenomena by its practitioners and proponents, rather than on the phenomena itself. They see that this explanation runs contrary to science, and so they discount the possibility that the phenomenon exists. But this fails to take into account the fact that scientists and mystics use radically different kinds of language.

When mystics or occult practitioners talk about some kind of spiritual energy, or the light of the soul, or uses whatever language their particular tradition has adopted, then the automatic reaction of the scientist is to dismiss it as religion or superstition, and then not pay the matter a second thought. But just because the Vikings thought thunder and lightning where caused by one of their gods striking a hammer in the heavens does not mean that thunder and lightning don’t exist, just that they were wrong about the reasons. I believe the same could be true for many new age phenomena, including auras. Likewise if a mystic talks about the motions of the heavens being regulated by universal love, he may well be talking at least in part about gravity and the motions of the planets. And that is why I was fascinated to read of research conducted by Jamie Ward of University College London and reported in the journal Cognitive Neuropsychology which suggests that a rare form of synaesthesia could explain the phenomena of auras.

Many of you will be familiar with a condition called synaesthesia. It is not a common condition, and has only been thoroughly documented and explained quite recently, but because it is such an interested condition it has received relatively large amount of publicity, including many television programs and magazine articles. To summarise the condition briefly:  synaesthesia, in its most common form, is when the area of the brain dealing with two separate senses somehow becomes linked. When this happens the subject experiences a mingling of usually distinct faculties, and finds they are able to smell colours, taste sounds, and so on. Synaesthesia may also involve the subject associating colours, or tastes, or whatever it may be, to certain words or numbers; so that whenever they come across a particular word, the corresponding taste comes into their mouth.
The idea which is now being put forward is that the phenomena of auras can be explained by an unusually strong connection between the areas of the brain handling emotions and colours, reinforced by the innate pairings of certain emotions with particular colours, which all cultures seem to share. In this case when a person sees and aura what they are actually seeing is a mixture of their own emotional response to a person combined with their intuitive understanding of that person’s own emotional state.

I would also add, before finishing this article, that to explain such a phenomenon scientifically in no way invalidates its explorations and practical use. It is a peculiarity of the modern world that when a proper scientific explanation for such things comes along people say that they have been ‘debunked’, and that their falsity has been proven. This seems perverse to me; to explain something scientifically does not disprove something - it proves it. In the case of Auras one can easily imagine how having this kind of emotional synaesthesia could lead to an intuitive sense far more advanced than that of the ordinary person. Huge amounts of information are continually being exchanged between our subconscious minds, and for ordinary people the main obstacle to our accessing and using this information in our day to day lives is that we only really experience it consciously as very vague ill-defined feelings. A form of synaesthesia which displayed such vague feelings as concrete sensory symbols, colours, and even images could greatly increase the ability of the conscious mind to access and utilise subconscious information, and to draw out specific details. It is also entirely possible that meditation and training could induce a mild form of this kind of synaesthesia.

If science could put aside its enmity towards such ‘new age’ subjects, really think that a great deal could be accomplished

Angel Therapy Holds the Promise for a Better Life
Therapists tell us to listen to what our guardian angels have to say

By Elena Gorgan, Life & Style Editor

19th of January 2009, 19:27

We’ve all heard the story of how each of us has a little angel and a little devil on our shoulders, whispering into our ear what to do, and trying to convince us to go one way or the other. From what the recently ever-popular Angel Therapy, the part about the angel is true – each of us has one, if not actually more guardian angels and, for us to have the life we’ve always dreamed of, suffice it if we listen to what they’re telling us.Angel Therapy already has a loyal following in the US, with other countries coming up close. There are also Angel Therapy Practitioners, meaning people who have the skill to connect with our angels, either on their own, thanks to some supernatural sense we lack, or with the help of the angel of a dead person, and who are able to tell us what to do. Most of them have learned the hard way what ignoring one’s angel can mean and this is why, they say, they have decided not to let others make the same mistake they made.

Liz Jones of the Daily Mail discovered Angel Therapy as she was seeking for alternate methods to save her cat’s life, as it had been diagnosed with liver and kidney failure. Thus, she discovered Doreen Virtue, a US Practitioner and many others, who have not only cured Snoopy the cat, but also guided her way to achieving happiness.

“Angels have soft, feathery wings. They always talk about, and act from, love. Everyone has guardian angels who guide and protect us. The angels can’t force their help on us, however, since we have free will. We must ask for their help. Evil people don’t listen to their angels: their angels stand by with ‘wings tied’ unable to intervene because God created us with free will.” Mrs. Virtue tells Jones about how each of us has one or more guardian angels.

There are, it seems, two types of angels, both acting in our best interest - “past-life angels that give you ‘horrible nudges’ so that you will do better in the next life, and guardian angels, which direct you in your everyday life.” Jones writes, after speaking to several such Practitioners. And, if listening to this kind of mumbo-jumbo is not exactly our cup of tea, we can always start listening to what our angels are telling us without paying money to a therapist.

We can do so, Jones says, by following what seems to be our intuition. For instance, the first time an idea or a new thought comes to our mind, we should know that it is that one that we must follow because that’s the voice of our angel(s), telling us which should be our next move.

“You have to think of your angels as your team. You are never alone.” Sohini Patel, another Practitioner, advises Jones. In the end, even if it’s not really angels doing all this good for us and watching our back all the time, at least it’s good to think that we are never alone in life and that we deserve to be happy, Jones concludes.

The human body absorbs light that is made up of the colour spectrum and each colour in the spectrum has a frequency, wavelength and energy associated with it. The symptoms of disease are a sign that there is a shortage or improper utilization of colour and light in the organs and cells of the human body. This is due to many factors, such as our lifestyle, stress or too little of a particular colour frequency in our enegy system. Studies show that the colour of fruit and vegetables indicate their individual health-promoting benefits.

Complimentary colours tend to look balanced and are colours opposite to each other on the colour wheel.

This course will teach you how that by altering colours that surround us, it is possible to enhance health and well-being. Colour is simply light of varying wavelengths and as such is a form of energy. This light energy affects all living cells. Used in the right way colour can have a profound effect on all creation. Colour therapy can be used for any problem whether physical, mental, emotional or spiritual for specific problems as well as an over all relaxation therapy. Colour therapy can also be used with great effect alongside other holistic therapies. It especially compliments crystal therapy.
The frequency of a wave is determined by the number of complete waves, or wavelengths that pass a point each second. The colour red has a frequency of around 430 trillion vibrations a second, whereas violet has a much higher frequency, so each violet wave would pass a given point much quicker than the colour red.

Higher frequency colours are - violet - indigo - blue

Lower frequency colour are - yellow - orange - red

A palm reader usually begins by reading the persons ‘dominant hand’ (the hand he/she writes with or uses the most). In some traditions of palmistry the other hand is believed to carry past-life or karmic information, as well as hereditary traits. Once lines form on the palm they remain there and new lines are created as a person experiences life. If you imagine that we all possess different energies the palm shows us the way they flow. So, for example, you could be a very creative person but doing a rather monotonous job. You are bored and fed up because you are not in tune with your true nature. However, things will change for you once you tap into your creative side.

There is no right or wrong answer but palmistry helps guide you into things that will make you happy and contented. The palm gives us a map of our life and it is up to us to make the most of it. Through self-awareness we can shape our fate and affect our future.

If you want to amaze your friends, family and customers with your accurate readings and are serious about becoming a professional palm reader then this course is a must for you.
