LeBenediction | |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Ingredients angelica, bay, geranium, hyssop, lemon, melissa blend, myrrh, rose, rose geranium, rosewood, sandalwood, spruce, ylang ylang
Resonance spiritual, physical Application LeBenediction should be placed on shoulders, wrists, and thymus area and is also of great benefit when diffused into a room that is highly charged with energy. Aromatic Considerations The aroma of LeBenediction can increase the integrity of the auric field, strengthening our personal energy barriers. This blend is particularly useful for meditation and gospel study. Emotional/Spiritual Aspects LeBenediction is a favorite among massage and energy therapists. It strengthens one's own energy boundaries and protects against 'energy drains' that sometimes occur when working with other people's energy fields. This blend should be used at times when you are feeling particularly vulnerable and 'energy sensitive' and easily drained by people and situations. LeBenediction can help us speak up and express our needs clearly without blaming or whining, especially if we are sensitive to or over-awed by the person we are addressing. This blend can also temper our tendency to judge unkindly when we feel that a person has created the mess they are in and we are justified in leaving them alone to fix it. LeBenediction also aids us in learning to acknowledge the role that blessings from above have played in our own successes and achievements. Gratitude to heaven is a very healing emotion; probably the best thing you can do to balance your own chakra centers. Try this blend any time you are feeling angry, stressed, or depressed. LeBenediction is also very effective after an illness for returning energy levels to normal and getting us back on our feet both physically and emotionally. Physical Aspects LeBenediction is often useful for tension headaches, heart palpitations, and high blood pressure where picking up on the energies of others is a contributing factor. LeBenediction makes an effective deodorant. Unique Characteristics Frequently utilized to create an energy 'bubble barrier' which allows us to interact with others without compromising our 'self'. This is true whether we are being drained by others or are at a low point ourselves and having a draining effect on those around us. Cautions Avoid exposing areas of skin where LeBenediction was applied to direct sunlight for 3 to 6 hours. |

Ylang Complete (Cananga odorata) |
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ingredient In
Emotional/Spiritual Aspects The aromatic focus of ylang ylang is spirituality. It fosters a desire in our souls for deeper and more meaningful communication with heaven. As we develop the emotional, caring, nurturing, intuitive, spiritual side of our natures, many things shift for us. We find that we are able to block or filter the negativity and ‘garbage’ around us. We are better able to focus our thoughts and our drive. One of the behaviors that signals a need for ylang ylang is throwing temper tantrums that, if we are honest with ourselves, have the underlying intent of getting us our own way. Another indication for ylang ylang is sudden loss of interest in work, personal appearance, and even in family members and friends. Ylang ylang may also be helpful for insecurity, low self-esteem, anger, rage, and dare-devil tendencies. Physical Aspects Ylang ylang balances the male-female energies and hormones in the body by stimulating the adrenals and thymus glands. This can balance sexual energy and bring joy, harmony, and passion to relationships. The hormonal support properties of ylang ylang make it useful for the symptoms of PMS and many other hormone related complaints. Ylang ylang is a uterine tonic. Dilute andapply to the abdomen for this function. As ylang ylang’s hormonal properties work in conjunction with its nervine properties, ylang ylang becomes exceptionally effective for depression, irritability, anxiety, rapid breathing, heart palpitations, high blood pressure, hypertension, nervous tension, physical and mental exhaustion, nervousness, and insomnia. Ylang ylang is also excellent for routine skin care, more serious skin problems, and hair loss. Ylang ylang is also used to regulate circulation, fight intestinal infections, and alleviate constipation. General Information The distillation of the delicate flowers of ylang ylang is a complex process. The product that is extracted two hours after the distillation process begins is referred to in the industry as the ‘extra.’ This distillation is extremely heady, potent, and overly-sweet, and is not used in aromatherapy applications but is used by the perfume industry because a little goes a long way and the aroma remains stable longer. This ‘extra’ is combined with the first and second distillations to form Ylang Ylang Complete. The 1st and 2nd distillations are the same flowers continuing the distillation process for longer periods of time before being ‘pulled.’ The first and second distillations are more subtle and less sweet in aroma. They are often used in therapeutic applications, but the complete is generally preferred. |
