AROMATHERAPY MEDITATION

There is one technique that combines the benefit of meditation and aromatherapy that provides relaxation to mind and body resulting to good health and stress relief. The procedure is so simple even for those who are new to this practice which they will find exciting and challenging. With the busy lifestyle, aromatherapy meditation helps you clear your mind from distractions. With the soothing scent that comes out from essential oils help you heal the mind, giving you inner strength.

Whatever health problems you have in mind and body caused by changes in the hormones or in the way of life you live, aromatherapy meditation could be a great help to calm your body system. It is a possible treatment without the use of medicines, thus avoiding the unwanted effects that could trigger complications.

Here are simple steps to enjoy the complete therapeutic effects of aromatherapy meditation.

1. Find a comfortable place or ideal atmosphere where there would be no distractions.

2. Light a stick of incense and focus on the smoke that curls upwards.

3. Just focus on watching and immerse yourself in the different patterns of smoke that takes out.

4. If some thoughts come to distract your mind, slowly bring back your attention to the trail of smoke and enjoy the moment.

5. For as long as you are able to do this technique, maintain the process even for few minutes, at first, a few sessions in a week, taking the availability of your time and the ability to focus. The length of time will increase as you enjoy the sessions.

Sometimes it is not just easy to relax the mind and dip into a meditation, and one technique to calm your mind and body is soothing the scent of essential oils. The lighted candle brings out the aroma of the oil of your choice. One great suggestion would be the use of lavender oil with health benefits of relieving pain, nausea, and nervous tension, enhancing blood circulation, and treating respiratory problems. Others may mix different scents of oil. These essential oils can be inhaled, massaged into the body or dropped in a bath.

Indulging in aromatherapy meditation, smelling the aromatic scents stimulates the regions of the brain that improves your mood. Medical studies show that this method is helpful with the following conditions like hair loss, itching, pain, insomnia, skin problems, agitation, and constipation. It also stimulates the immune system and gives positive effect on health conditions of cancer patients and other related quality-of-life issues such as depression, stress, and anxiety. Health benefits of meditation include increase in self-awareness, gaining new perspective, and reducing negative thoughts.
