This question, I was once asked, prompt me to shine some light and understanding into the healing potential and personal transformation gifted to us by this powerful precious aromatics.
I have been a professional clinical aromatherapist for 17years. these many years of practice on myself, family and numerous clients, gave me a perspective on the therapeutic benefits and limitations of aromatherapy, taking me into a profound journey, beyond aromatherapy, into expansion of my understanding of plant consciousness and self healing.
Sacred Oils versus Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy as we know it today is very different from the ancient tradition of Sacred oils, although the ancients were very aware if the medicinal and therapeutical properties of plants. The use of the Sacred Oils in the ancient past went beyond the subtle or clinical applications we are familiar with today in the field of herbal medicine and aromatherapy.
Their use had a sacred approach, as the sacred scents were believed to come directly from the Divine and therefore connect us to the Divine in our human strive to evolve and expand our consciousness and align with our interdimensional nature and galactic intelligence which the Sacred Oils hold within themselves.
Working with Sacrd Oils: my path
Over the years, in my personal healing and professional work, I found that, often, the use of a single oil, rather than an aromatherapeutic blend, offered a more powerful and profound soul work. That chosen single oil contains within itself an energy signature that directly relates to the energy of a person, and could communicate directly with their soul and their soul wound; that could bring healing to that particular individual’s imbalance and had a specific relevance for that present time. An oil that had an effect on and ability to transmute a person’s vibrational frequency, from the one that caused the dis-ease to the restoration of their resonance: the original vibratory frequency.
The charged energy, vibrational frequency and mystical nature of these Sacred Oils show a different quality than other essential oils, working on the astral/light body and on a more profound Soul level.
My close relationship with the oils, energy work practices, my innate psychic abilities and my awareness of plant consciousness, led me, to a deeper connection with the Soul Essence of these Oils, receiving knowledge channelled directly from plants spirits which visited me in dreams and meditations, imparting messages, teachings and guidance that go beyond the written knowledge found in books.
Intention is a fundamental ingredient: healing requires spiritual transformation
While appreciating the clinical, subtle/emotional and psychospiritual benefits of aromatherapy, I found that while it is successful in the solution of common ailments, it is often limited to the symptomatic relief. Sacred Oils, coupled with a focused intention and the partnership with the aromatic plant spirit, go far and deeply beyond that. They meet you on the Soul level, healing the original wound, opening a door into the path of self-understanding and profound knowledge within and in relationship with Spirit and your higher self. They guide you into your healing and help you to see: “where is the wound beyond the physical”. They are like a Shaman that takes you behind the veil of the physical realm into a multidimensional realization that everything is possible in the quantum field of creation. They become your allies for your spiritual growth and awakening, realization and transformation.
Healing requires spiritual transformation, you cannot heal from the same mind set or energetic vibration that caused the problem, you have to change that vibration and that is what the Sacred Oils help you doing. So when I was healing my skin from 9 years of “uncurable” severe psoriasis, really it was my heart that was wounded, and the skin just the external manifestation. The approach to healing therefore shifts, and you receive the guidance by direct knowledge, direct revelation to know how to heal yourself. It is an empowering process of commitment, responsibility and self-mastery, in deep communion with your body’s intelligence.
If your body is a vessel for your Soul, animated by Spirit, the Well Spring of Life, then your body is the conductor into this realm, expressing the messages of your Soul. To learn to overstand this relationship and reciprocity is our commitment in this life on Earth, so we can be clear vessels, hollow bones for Spirit to come through and manifest through us. If a plant is sick check the terrain, the Soil. If you are sick check the terrain, your Soul. Sacred Oils facilitate this deep listening.
What are Sacred Oils
Master Healers, Spiritual Tachers and Allies, Sacred Oils offer guidance for self-healing and divination through direct revelation. Healers of the light body, they grant healing gifts to the deepest levels of our soul, realigning with your true Soul Essence and expanding consciousness for the highest good of All. Sacred oils and ancient incense can be used ceremonially for sacred work in communion with the conscious intelligence of the plants, with Spirit and with your own Inner Wisdom, for spiritual development, self-mastery and esoteric knowledge.The esoteric use of Sacred oil is very ancient and traditionally applied in temple rituals. Archeological evidence shows their use in ancient dynastical Egypt and most probably is much older than that. The high initiates priests and priestesses, held the esotheric knowledge of these Sacred aromatic plant essences within the temple, for healing, worshiping, divination, sacred rituals, ceremony and anointing.
Mary Magdalena (Myriam of Magdala) was a highly advanced Myrrhophore from the temple and magic tradition of Isis. Hatshepsut, Nefertari and, I believe, all Queens of Egypt were high initiates to this sacred knowledge and skills. Mary Magdalena is well known for the anointing of Christ. Christ (meaning the Anointed One from the Greek word chīstós, derived from the Greek verb chrīō meaning precisely”to anoint”! The translation derived from the Hebrew Mašíah, messiah meaning “-one who is- anointed”.
The second Sunday after Easter, in the Eastern Orthodox Church and Greek Catholic Church, is the “SUNDAY OF THE MYRRHBEARERS” . They remember, honor and commemorate the Myrrhbearing women who were directly involved in the burial of Christ and discovered the empty tomb following his resurrection. The term traditionally refers to the women with myrrh who came to the tomb of Christ early in the morning to find it empty. In Western Christianity, they are the women at the tomb, known as the Three Marys. The week that follows is called the Week of the Myrrhbearers. Many of the Myrrhbearers also have separate feast days on which they are commemorated individually.
