Aromatherapy is one of the most popular forms of natural therapies available to us. What makes essential oils so exciting is that they are the only ‘plant-based remedies’ that work on all levels of our wellbeing — our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing. As an aromatherapy educator, I often notice how frustrated people become when they have to learn the individual properties and actions of essential oils. The aromatree identifies the relationships that exist between the individual essential oils and the different parts of a plant such as leaves, roots, resin, wood, fruits, seed or flowers. In Aromatree, we examine the relationship and pattern between the botany of the plant, traditional folklore, symbolism, mythology of plants, aroma, chemistry, pharmacology, essential oil safety, our psyche, our personality, the chakras, the energetics according to traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, and blending tips. Aromatree embraces all aspects of aromatherapy. Whether you are a beginner or a professional aromatherapist, you will gain an incredible insight into using essential oils.

The aromatherapy and chakras workshop that I have been teaching for over 20 years has always been my most popular workshop. It is an excellent way to incorporate my passion for essential oils within a holistic framework to promote personal and spiritual growth. Many of us are aware of chakras and have some understanding of how they influence our wellbeing; however, the origins of chakras are shrouded in mystery. In Aromatherapy and Chakras — balancing your body’s energy centres for optimal health and wellbeing, I will demystify the origins of the chakras. I share with you my personal journey into the chakras and provide you with my interpretation of how we can use chakras to reconnect our body, mind and spirit. I hope that this book provides you with insight to use essential oils within a holistic framework of the Western concept of chakras as psycho-energetic centres and energy medicine. I introduce you to the principles of subtle therapies and energy medicine. We examine the scientific evidence for the existence of chakras and review the results of a study that confirms the relationship between the chakras and essential oils. We examine how modern Western psychology and transpersonal psychologists are using chakras to provide us with a more holistic framework of understanding human consciousness. We examine each of the major seven chakras in detail, examining the influence that each chakra has on our psyche and wellbeing, what to expect when the chakra is balanced or not balanced, and most importantly, strategies to keep the chakras balanced using essential oils.
