The Life of Essential Oils


  
Essential oils are used heal, sooth, and restore the emotions, body, and mind. The sun's energy is transformed into these oils, and brings healing qualities to life in the plant.  Just as humans need the sun so function properly, so also is the need for plants to be used for healing, in the form of whole fresh or dried herbs, oil infusions, tinctures, and essential oils. However, I have chosen to deal mainly with essential oils. I like the subtle way they introduce themselves to the emotional center of the brain, instantly creating a trust between themselves and the person who has chosen to use them.
I find that as I gain more understanding, and become more in tune with what my body is telling me in regard to my physical wellbeing I can sense the craving  my mind, emotions and body has for these oils.  It is the same  intense craving that I  for the sun in the dead of winter, except that these oils are individually carry some quality of the sun (lavender essential oil is quite  different in its chemical structure than frankincense, although they may have some of the same chemicals but in different quantities. Each chemical in the essential oil is taken from the energy of the sun's light and rays). The same love I have for the sun and the plants these essential oils are derived from has transfered to the oils themselves. An understanding, not simply of knowledge, but one of the nature of the oils the essence of the vital life force they portray. Each one has a different life pulse whether it be slow soothing, and calming or quick energizing, and uplifting.
