Aromatherapy: Transforming the Seasons of Your Life with Essential
Oils
Daily Aromatherapy is a 371-page text dedicated
towards inner reflection, growth, healing, spirituality and self
awareness through the use of essential oils. The book is well organized,
and is broken down ultimately into a day-to-day format of enriching
exercises. Readers are offered multiple ideas on how to best use
the book based on their particular needs, time availability and
the essential oils on hand. The content of Daily Aromatherapy
is organized by the four seasons of the year, with each season embracing
elements at where we are all at in our present life journey. From
there, each season is broken down into individual months and then
into the 52 weeks of the year.
52 essential oils are profiled, one per week.
Seven different daily exercises are offered for each of the essential
oils, broken down by specific day of the year. I have not had the
opportunity to read Daily Aromatherapy from front to back,
but the exercises for each oil all seem to follow the same well
organized pattern:
- Day 1: Aromatic Affirmation
- Day 2: Aromatic Emotional Self Discovery
- Day 3: Aromatic Exercise Specific to the Oil Itself
- Day 4: Aromatic Blessing
- Day 5: Aromatic Activity
- Day 6: Aromatic Visualization
- Day 7: Aromatic Prayer
Daily Aromatherapy is a beautiful book that enlightens
readers to the emotional and spiritual benefits of essential oils.
These are the realms of aromatherapy that are less scientifically
based, but nonetheless are a major and integral part of aromatherapy.
Unlike some books that merely list the emotional or spiritual/meditative
benefits of each essential oil, Daily Aromatherapy offers
the reader specific exercises for each essential oil over the course
of the week. Guided by the authors, these exercises help the reader
to experience and learn about the oil in a variety of ways.
I appreciate that the authors provide a better-than-most
"How to Use This Book" section that gives readers alternative
ways in which to read/study/implement the information presented
within its covers.
This book does not have an index. Instead, it
offers several indices that organize essential oils and their uses.
You will not find "depression" or many negative emotional
states listed. Instead, you will find that the emphasis is upon
building positive states such as Hope, inspiration, Joy, Optimism,
Rebirth, Harmonious Relationships, Releasing Fear, and more (from
Appendix II: Alternate and Additional Best Essential Oils."
Because owning the 52 essential oils featured in this book can be
cost prohibitive for most individuals, and because the authors respect
that not all individuals have a positive reaction to some essential
oils, this same appendix is helpful for substituting essential oils
throughout the book.
