The practice of meditation is well known for the healing and restorative benefits it can bring. When used in conjunction with other modalities, sensory meditation can be a beautiful uplifting experience.
One of the most evocative sensory additions is the use of aromatherapy oils. This is because the different scents can so readily evoke memories and enhance visualization.
Our sense of smell is more powerful than we realize. As there is a such a wide choice of aromas available, it is possible to choose a different scent to enhance all our differing moods and conditions. Some will induce a sense of calm and a feeling of inner peace, while others will help to boost confidence, stimulate creativity, and assist mental clarity.
If you wish to give your energy and motivation a boost, try one of the warm invigorating aromas. There are many to choose from. Cinnamon, cedar, citrus, mint, and patchouli come quickly to mind.
For peace and serenity, the beautiful florals work wonders. You could try, lavender, rose, honeysuckle, violet or jasmine among many others.
You can gently heat the oils in a diffuser, or maybe dab some on to cotton wool balls and place them on radiators. I’ve even wiped light bulbs with the impregnated cotton wool balls. And what better than a few drops added to the bath water?
