Attain Happiness with Aromatherapy

Posted on March 23, 2020 by in Attain Happiness with Aromatherapy

Since last few weeks, we have been noticing, that our communities, our country, and the entire world is changing on an hourly basis due to Corona Virus (Covid-19) outbreak, being felt all over the world. We all have to take necessary steps to keep ourselves and those around us safe and healthy. Please wash hands frequently, cover your cough and sneeze using the bend of your elbow or a tissue. We’re all vulnerable right now, regardless of borders, class, religion, and hierarchical identities. Stay at home if you feel unwell. Prevention is best practice. Please share only accurate information from the World Health Organization (WHO) or from trusted sources.

 Do you know………Laughter is not happiness. Usually we think, happiness is a feeling of being satisfied, being content the way life should be. In fact, the happiest people don’t have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything. With my personal life experiences, I think, happiness comes from within; the ability to love, the art to disagree and to accept, being fearless, being true to yourself, all this stem from the state of being happy.

         Attain Happiness with Aromatherapy

“Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.”– Denis Waitley

Why are we unhappy? It’s because of our physical health (WHO, analysed that on an average every 100 people has 200 illnesses), our disturbed mental-emotional health, our strained relationship, our anger-ego-greed-lust-insecurity-fear, lack of understanding and accountability, conscious. These negative qualities of our personality, makes us hostile and we start blaming others for our mishaps (while it’s true that sometimes without realizing, we unknowingly let others take advantage of our trust, of our simplicity, and as a result get hurt) and in turn lose happiness. In such situations, if we perform the random act of kindness, it leads to profound happiness in life and thankfulness for the abundance is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Ultimately, whatever action gives us happiness, we start repeating it frequently, and in no time it becomes our habit. That is why, taking self-care and care of our mental-emotional health is more important than ever. To attain happiness, can follow these guidelines:

  1. Staying Grounded: by regularly practicing meditation, yoga, mindfulness, and exercising, will help with hormonal imbalance, which in turn will keep your stress and anxiety in check.
  2. Avoid negativity and toxic people: who pull you down, instead of being your support or a friend in need.
  3. Pay attention to self-care by giving yourself a TLC(tender loving care). Catching up on tasks is great, but don’t hesitate to take breaks and pause. Pamper yourself to a nice Aromatherapy massage.
  1. Indulge in activities that gives you pleasure, but you haven’t had time for it before. You deserve it.
  2. Walk in nature to get connected with your surroundings and the beautiful mother nature.
  3. Be compassionate to others and spread kindness, you will get blessings in return.
  4. Spend quality times with your loved ones.
  5. Finally, smell your favourite Essential oil that has the power to affect person’s mood.

Essential Oils are natural, volatile, liquid plant extracts with different therapeutic properties and have been used since ancient times to cure different ailments. A sense of smell is one of the five senses and a powerful connector between people and the world around them. Aromas are highly emotive and everyone reacts to scents differently based on their past experiences, memory, and emotions. This, in turn, may provide some relief in mood disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and help with feelings of happiness.Tangerine, Peppermint and Eucalyptus essential oils can help with the mental focus, discipline, and coping mechanisms, Grapefruit essential oil helps to uplift, to cheer up, while Rose absolute and Geranium essential oil brings balance of spirit and feeling of harmony. Rosemary is clarifying, Sandalwood, Clove, Frankincense essential oils, help with breathing, grounding, and to stay centered.

Happiness Room Spray:

3-4 oz. Distilled Water

1 Tbsp Alcohol

10 drops Sweet Orange Essential Oil

10 drops Lavender Essential Oil

8 drops Sandalwood Essential Oil

8 drops Ylang ylang Essential Oil

In a 4 oz. spray bottle, add essential oils, 3 oz. distilled water, 1 Tbsp alcohol (I use Vodka), close the bottle, mix, and label. Spray in room as desired. Mix well before each use.

Emotional Detox with Aromatherapy

Posted on March 16, 2020 by in Emotional Detox with Aromatherapy

Do you know……….. It is terrifying to lose control of our emotions. We all go through some psychological problems of brain fog, depression, anxiety, tantrums, anger, etc., but we should not let it become a part of our daily routine. Emotional detox is the release of negative emotions and thoughts.

      Emotional Detox with Aromatherapy

If you have psychological issues, you likely have some sort of gut issue and vice-versa. Unfortunately, the brain and the gut are intimately linked. You must have heard or even used, ‘This is my ‘gut feeling’. Gut feeling is our body’s primal response to subconscious information. Most of us have experienced the sense of knowing things before we know them without any obvious explanation. The ultimate purpose of gut instinct is to protect us.

 

 It’s important to heal the fatigue, gut and digestive symptoms; constipation, diarrhea, bloating, gas, etc., simply by managing eating habits, exercising, and healthy life style. Together with these important actions, practice yoga and meditation regularly, make a gratitude journal, spend time outside in nature, indulge in activities to deal with negative emotions, avoid depressive situations, and try to stay calm.

Toxic emotions which stem from negative beliefs and attitudinal patterns, need to be purged. Sometimes these waves of emotional detox intertwine with one another, that leave us feeling physically drained and exhausted. Emotional detox is hard, but it is important to continue healing our body. In today’s fast paced, electronic, toxin filled world, it’s safe to say that many of us are not grounded or only partially grounded. Grounding and being grounded is a term in aromatherapy used to mean connecting with the present, being in the now and physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally and energetically rooted like a tree (The tree stands firmly rooted to the ground, reaches for sun energy, bears flowers-fruits, sways, and changes with the season). Being grounded can also mean having a clear vision of ourselves and keeping our reactive, ego-centric behaviors in check. Essential oils have been the most amazing natural remedy to help mitigate these toxic emotions and begin healing our mental health. Essential oils for grounding obtained from the barks, roots, needles and resin of aromatic plants, eg:

Vetiver, Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Frankincense, Myrrh, Patchouli, Black Spruce, Cypress, Angelica Root, Roman Chamomile, Ylang ylang, Rosewood

 Inhaling the scent of certain oils can help to ground and stabilize the energies being detoxed from our emotional body.  Essential oil can be inhaled directly from the bottle or place a single drop in palm, rub hands together, cup around nose, and begin breathing deeply for a calming effect, or apply a drop on wrists and neck, or apply to the bottom of the feet, or diffuse, or can wear like perfume.

Grounding-Calming Blend:

5 drops Sandalwood Essential Oil

5 drops Cedarwood Essential Oil

5 drops Lavender Essential Oil

5 drops Bergamot Essential Oil

2 drops Vetiver Essential Oil

2 oz Grapeseed or Almond carrier oil

Combine Essential oils and Carrier oil into a 2 oz. dark glass dropper bottle, label, and mix well. Massage 3-5drops near tail bone and lower back daily at night before bed time to open up root chakra, which is a powerful tool to get grounded.

Note: if begin considering harming yourself or others, seek immediate medical attention.

Days Associated with our Chakras

Posted on March 9, 2020 by in Days Associated with our Chakras

Do you know……… According to traditional Indian medicine and Vedic scriptures, there are 72,000 Nadis in human body. The Nadis refer to the network of channels through which the Prana (energies of the Subtle Body) said to flow. For a healthy body and mind it is important that prana flows in the body freely. When there is blockage or

       Days Associated with our Chakras

hinderance in the flow of prana, it messes up the whole system (creates Vyadhi). Out of all Nadis, 3 of them have special importance – IDA (terminates in the LEFT nostril, is cooling, feminine, calming, and have lunar energy), PINGALA (terminates in the RIGHT nostril, is heating, masculine, energizing, and have solar energy), and SUSHUMNA (is the central channel that runs vertically from the base of the spine to the top of the head).

Ida and Pingala Nadis cross along the central Sushumna Nadi. The points of intersection of these 3 Nadis, makes a whirlpool of energy along the spine, called Chakras. We and everything around us is made up of energy. The energy rises from the base of the spine to the crown of the body. The 7 main chakras, which are part of the human subtle energy system, ultimately keep us aligned. Misaligned and unbalanced chakras can lead to a variety of physical, mental and spiritual ailments, dysfunctions as do each of the vital organs connected to the out-of-balance chakras. Each one of the 7 chakra energy centers of the body are associated with a particular day of the week based upon the energetic similarities between the two and the associated planetary energies that they share:

Muladhara (Root) Chakra: is the first chakra at the base of the energy system and keeps us connected to the earth energy. The Root chakra is our connection to the physical plane and relates to our sense of stability and security on the earth.

Saturday is the Root chakra day, known as “Saturns Day” for its association with the planet Saturn, also named after the Roman God ‘Saturn’, or ‘Cronus’, the equivalent in Greek Mythology. Saturn is known as the Planet of ‘Karma’ and ‘Time’ and represents energy, vigor, protection, and self-discipline.

Swadisthana (Sacral) Chakra: Located just below the navel and governs the reproductive glands. Considered the gate chakra for all fluidity.

The Sacral chakra is associated with the day Monday, Thursday, and Friday. Monday, also known as “The Day of the Moon”. The Moon, like the Sacral chakra connects us to our emotions and fertility as well. Also, we associate the feminine aspect, much like moon with its cycles and seasons.

Manipura (Solar Plexus) Chakra: Located in the solar plexus area between the navel and sternum. To foster positive energy for personal transformation and to keep belly fire at a control. Till here all the Chakras are found in other species also.

Tuesday is the Solar Plexus chakra day and is sometimes connected with Sunday because of its representation with the related energies of the Solar Sun. Tuesday is the day of Mars. It represents willpower, determination, Strength, courage, competition, and effectiveness.

Anahata (Heart) chakra: Located in the middle of the chest. Promote peace and harmony between our physical and spiritual worlds.

Heart chakra is associated with the day of Wednesday, known as the “Day of Mercury”, the planet of interrelated communication. It is also associated with the day of Friday, the “Day of Venus” (which is named for the goddess of love and beauty, the equivalent of Venus in the Greek language is, Aphrodite) because of the compassionate associations with the Heart and the day of Thursday, is the day of planet Jupiter. He is the lord of information, wisdom, and knowledge.

Vishuddhi (Throat) chakra: Located in the throat area. To purify your being and keep your emotional self-balanced.

Wednesday, which is associated with Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun and the planet of communication and travel. Thursday is the day for Throat chakra.

Thursday named after the Norse God “Thor”, and is governed by the Planet Jupiter which is for prosperity, expansion, better communication, and also relates to travel.

Ajna (Third Eye) chakra: Located on the forehead between the eyebrows. It keeps emotional self-balanced, and is connected to the inner senses, i.e. spiritual vision or the minds eye,  intuition, insight, as well as higher knowledge/intellect, spiritual wisdom.

The Ajna Chakra is associated with the days Thursday and Friday, and also Monday for its Lunar association. The day of Venus or Friday brings spiritual powers and Thursday, the day of planet Jupiter which is the planet of expansion, higher wisdom, and travel.

Sahasrara (Crown) chakra: Located at the top of the head, funneling upwards to connect with our higher self. People who attain enlightenment are represented with the halo. This is the ultimate state to attain.

The Crown chakra is often associated with the day of Sunday, because of the connection to the “Sun”. The Sun, is a powerful force in our world because it is the source of heat and light, which is required energy for our food growth. Physically, without the sun there won’t be any life, so in relation to the Crown Chakra, the Sun also represents enlightenment, or the ultimate of higher consciousness.

Epsom Salt

Posted on March 2, 2020 by in Epsom Salt

Do you know……..Epsom Salt, that we use so lavishly as a natural remedy for number of ailments,

      Aromatherapy Epsom Bath Salt

to name a few; Muscle Cramps, Sprains, Fatigue, Skin problems, Athlete’s Foot, Toenail Fungus, Toxin Elimination, or General Aches, is not a salt. It’s a naturally occurring pure mineral compound of magnesium and sulfate.

Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulfate) also helps in gardening with seeds germination, makes plants grow bushier, produce more flowers, increases chlorophyll production.  Can add 2 tablespoons of Epsom salt to a gallon of water and sprinkle on lawn to keep the grass healthy and green.

Aroma Acupressure

Posted on February 17, 2020 by in Aroma Acupressure

Do you know——–Acupressure is an ancient, non-invasive, relatively safe, healing modality, based on the

                          Aroma Acupressure

traditional Chinese medicine practice of acupuncture. With acupressure, pressure is applied on specific places throughout our body (mainly our hands, feet, facial region), called acupressure points. Pressing these points can help release muscle tension, pain, headache, stress, irritation, anger, and promote blood circulation. Acupressure, carry messages from nerve endings through our central nervous system to release chemicals accordingly that gives us relief from pain and other discomforts. Acupressure can be performed by using our fingers, or palms, or elbows, or specific tools to apply pressure to different acupressure points, which stimulates these points to mobilize energetic stagnation, increase blood circulation, and improve our physical, mental, emotional well-being. Acupressure can be learnt, which is out of the scope of this article, to be self-administered for variety of health conditions.
