Aromatherapy, yoga and meditation are ancient healing traditions that go hand in hand beautifully. All practices focus on mind, body and spirit. Movement or stillness and aroma combined can stimulate the senses and balance chakras. Essential oils can benefit both yoga and meditation as they purify the room or studio and can attune the energies in groups.
Aromatherapy candles are wonderful to use in your yoga and meditation practice at home or you can diffuse oils to create the correct ambience for your intentions. Oils such as vetiver and patchouli are particularly good for grounding energy. Patchouli is uplifting without being stimulating. Vetiver is extremely calming and with the oil coming from the rootlets of the plant, it is centring. Both oils blend well with florals and citrus oils.
