What is Aromatherapy? Aromatherapy is the use of scent to alter a state of mind, body, or spirit. Different scents from plants and flowers are used to bring protection, love, prosperity, peace, happiness, psychic awareness, etc. You can invoke just about anything with the correct scent when using aromatherapy. There are several techniques which can be used which include candles, incense, oils, or freshly cut flowers/plants. How do I use Aromatherapy? First of all, select a scent in which ever form you prefer (whether it be a candle, incense, oil, or freshly cut flowers/plants). Place the candle (or whatever) on a table near your bed or a comfortable chair. If it’s a candle or incense, you need to light it. Make yourself comfortable and breathe the scent in deeply through your nose and out your mouth. Breathe slowly, inhaling and exhaling on the count of four. Keep the idea of what the scent is supposed to represent firmly in your mind. Visualize love, visualize yourself being happy, etc. You can do this however often you wish, remember that the more you do this, the effectiveness increases.
