For those of you who are interested in Aromatherapy, there are certain essential oils that are useful to those on a spiritual path. Sandalwood is helpful when meditating, and for past life regressions. Camphor is also useful for past life work, but is a potential skin irritant, so should be used in a burner rather than applied to the skin directly. Juniper is a psychic stimulant and aid to meditation. It helps with psychic cleansing. (It is used as a flavouring agent in gin, where it affects the spirits in a rather different way!)

 

Sadly, there have been several news items recently about people who have suffered injuries while working with essential oils. PLEASE, read the directions that come with essential oils. If in doubt, DO NOT apply directly to the skin, particularly if PREGNANT! ALWAYS dilute oils for external use with a suitable "carrier oil." NEVER take oils internally. ALWAYS keep them away from children. Treat oil burners with caution - DO NOT place close to the bed or anywhere they might be knocked over. Burners, candles and incense MUST be placed on fireproof surfaces, away from curtains or upholstery.
