Introduction to Aromatherapy and Essential Oils 


Essential Oils can be used to balance both the physical and emotional bodies. Essential oils are literally the blood of plants where the healing properties are stored. Using the sense of smell to heal the body induces altered states of awareness due to the connection with the rhinencephalon (literally nose brain) part of the limbic system. The limbic system controls the regulation of the heart rate, respiration, hormone levels and emotions. Sights and sounds make us think, smell makes us feel. Both physical and social thriving depend on the sense of smell. In this class you will get the chance to learn about different grades of essential oils, how they can be used and even smell and feel them for yourself. All are welcome. (Essential oils will be available for purchase)

Vitaflex and Raindrop Technique 
   

There is a school of thought that believes whenever the body takes something into the system it doesn't know what to process from viruses to the effects of stress it lays this waste along the spine. This build up causes one to feel fatigued the spine to go out of alignment, aches and pains as well as a decreased immune system. In this class we will review the benefits of the classic raindrop kit from young living. The combination of these oils and the raindrop technique uses a light pressure to detoxify the system on a cellular level all while supporting and enhancing the respiratory and immune systems. In addition you will learn how to apply essential oils to the reflex points of the hand, feet and ear vita flex system to promote health and healing.

Cost of class includes the cost of essential oil kit, class materials and a total of eight Continuing Education Credits.
