Flowers and Wisdom
Healing Meditations With Aromatic Treasures
Flowers and Wisdom presents a series of powerful healing meditations based on Tibetan, Ayurvedic, and Chinese medicine, combined with the use of pure and potent essential oils. Through focused inward contemplation we will study and examine the functioning of each major organ system as described by traditional medicine, and use specific fragrances to increase its vitality and immunity. By using spiritually uplifting fragrances, we will practice deepening meditative states, increasing and stabilizing concentration, and developing compassion. During meditations we will use only highest-quality essential oils and attars in numerous ways: direct inhalation, application to acupuncture and marma points, atmospheric diffusing, compresses and poultices, and burning on coals.
