ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS

SESSION I:  THE ESSENTIALS

 This session of the workshop will be presented from a historical perspective, referencing the use of essential oils from biblical times to the present:  What oils did God tell Moses to use to protect against the plague?   What is the connection between essential oils and Mary Magdalene and Isis ?  How did the Egyptians use essential oils and what benefits did they derive from their use?  In modern times, what is happening in the field of aromatherapy?  How do essential oils work? How are they processed and distilled to obtain a high quality, grade A essential oil?  What are their properties?  How do I use them? How do I benefit from their use?…

 We will introduce the oils (singles and blends) that are included in the Essential 7 Kit:  Lemon, Lavender, Peppermint, Joy, Peace & Calming, Purification and PanAway.  We will also discuss other powerful oils citing research and allowing time for testimonials.  

An audio cassette tape & hand-outs that cover most of the material presented in this session will be provided at no additional cost. 

SESSION II: HEALING POWER OF ESSENTIAL OILS

(Emotional & Physical)

 In our pursuit for optimum well-being, we are all challenged by one or more physical or emotional concerns, i.e.  I wish I had more energy;  I have trouble sleeping;   I'm all stressed out;   I have aches & pains; I'm concerned about my weight;  I've been irritable or depressed lately; I have poor digestion; I suffer from allergies… I just don't feel well.  

Whatever your concern is -- or if you are simply desiring to optimize your emotional, physical, or spiritual well-being --there is an oil that can be of great benefit to you. 

 We will discuss the latest research on the use of essential oils for physical concerns.  We will also address the use of essential oils for emotional healing.   The works of Candice Pert:  Molecules of Emotions and Carolyn Myss:  Why Some People Don't Heal will be cited.   

We will introduce the oil blends in the Golden Touch I, Golden Touch II, & talk briefly about The Feelings Kit. 

  SESSION III:  7^TH HEAVEN / 12 OILS OF ANCIENT SCRIPTURE

For thousands of years essential oils have been used in the attainment of higher spirituality. In ancient times they were used to increase the aura around the body, bringing about a sense of strength and protection, and creating a feeling of wholeness in the realm of one's own spirituality.

 We will learn about the profound psychological and spiritual benefits of oils such as frankincense, sandalwood, and myrrh, long recognized by religious and spiritual traditions the world over.  We will also learn what oils are ideal aids to meditation, contemplation and prayer, ceasing mental chatter and stilling the mind.

 Whenever we allow ourselves to be controlled by thoughts or emotions, we may experience discomfort, pain or great suffering.  Even at these times, when everything seems so imperfect; there’s an oil that can break us free and allow us to experience the peace that we are seeking.

 In this session, we will introduce the 12 Oils of Ancient Scriptures  & the 7th Heaven kits.  Participants will receive an anointing and the oil blend Gathering will be diffused to help bring us together on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level for greater focus and clarity.
