“When the soul approaches the mysteries; when it tries to rally to the great spiritual principles, the perfumes are there… The odour of incense and roses fills the temples and churches of every religion in the world.”

For mindfulness meditation techniques using essential oils, we recommend that you treat yourself to a pottery or ceramic essential oil burner. These have a lower space for a night-light candle and an upper bowl for water, on top of which is floated between ten and fifteen drops of essential aromatherapy oil. The heat from the candle warms the water and the essentail oils evaporate with the steam, enhancing your mindfulness meditation.
How To Use Mindfulness Meditation Techniques With Essential Oils
-
- Prepare the burner. Decide which oil or blend of oils you are going to use…
Analyse how you are feeling and what you wish to gain from your mindfulness meditation…
For example, you may feel tired and want to feel refreshed, so you would choose a mentally stimulating oil such as basil or rosemary and an uplifting oil such as bergamot, rosewood, or mandarin…
Check if there are any emotional disturbances – if you have had a long day you could add a soothing, nuturing oil such as benzoin, ylang ylang, or rose…
Every blend is a unique creation so allow yourself to be creative and use your intuition when deciding which oils will work for your mindfulness meditation techniques.

- Prepare yourself. You don’t want to be distracted by anything, so switch off phones, set a timer for fifteen minutes if you are going to be concerned about the time, and choose to ignore any noise and let it go.
