Life expresses itself through breath and odors. Everything breathes in the relative world of existence. Even plants breathe – yes, even stones. The breathing of plants on our “Planet Plant” prepared the breath of all organic vital expressions on Earth. Without plant oxygen, we would have no air to breathe, no food to eat, no life on Earth.

Plants, being rooted in the soil, also have a strong connection with the densest element which is earth. And the Earth is linked to the sense of smell according to the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, the thousands of years old natural medicine of India.  No wonder, therefore, that plants exhale scent, odors, fragrances…… They exhale the blessings of Mother Earth. Many of these fragrances are due to essential oils which the plants store in glandular cells and which have numerous functions in the life of plants.

In Nature, breathing and smell are intimately linked. We breathe and we smell without end, connecting the space and air elements with the earth element – the light and the dense dimensions.

Soft inhaling an essential oil from a flacon or a cotton handkerchief or a perfume stripe automatically leads to mindful breathing – breathing into the “eternal” moment of just being here right now. Breathing or inhaling essential oils are healing from within. All our body – from “brain to feet” exults when getting in touch with the alchemy of joy – the fragrances of medicinal plants.

Breathing with conifer oils such as Black Spruce i.e., inhaling oils strong in ketones such as Hyssop i.e., smelling oils high in oxides, such as Eucalyptus globulus or feel the inner expansion with oils high in ethers such as Kewra, the “heart opener”  – each time we experience an essential oil we experience Mother Nature in a very direct way by getting in touch with her own breath of life. Magical aromatherapy for a new millennium of powerful psycho-spiritual healing.
