Before we get into which Essential Oils we will be using, we need to learn a few easy applications that are a part of the Aromatherapy Technique. There are six, and once we learn these, we’ll move on to learning the four stages of the Technique, then the Oils to use.
The first application is the HEART PALM CIRCLES.
Stand at the recipient's side. Create a triangle with both of your thumbs and first fingers. With a light touch, gently create CIRCLES on the recipient's back over the heart area. Move your hands in a clockwise motion, creating a CIRCLE about the size of a dinner plate.
This location is also above the adrenals, allowing the body to shift from stress to rest as you apply the Essential Oils.
Make three complete CIRCLES and pause on the spine. Slide your hands apart until one hand is resting at the waistline and the other is resting at the base of the back of the head.
As you rest your hands, focus on connecting with the recipient. Feel their breathing patterns. Genuinely connect with their rhythm. Be present.
Once you begin the Aromatherapy Technique, keep at least one hand on the recipient at all times until you have finished the session. It is important to maintain contact throughout.
