Who needs a day in the year to tell your soul mate you love them? Is it a great reminder? And a special chance to do something nice? Or is Valentines Day just some big marketing ploy to get you to spend truck loads on flowers, chocolates and champagne!! Whatever your thoughts and regardless of February the 14th as a date - it is a reminder about a divine truth and that is LOVE!
Aphrodite, the goddess of LOVE, is said to have used exquisite Rose petals as she knew they were uplifting and had a wonderful aroma that helped connect to her own femininity. Rose is also ruled by the planet Venus, which represents all things love and beautiful. The essential oil of Rose can help open the heart and support deep emotional wounds or fears to heal.
In ancient Indian traditions, one in particular, Ayeurvedic Medicine there are seven energy centres or chakras in the body. The heart chakra is related to love and is the integrator of opposites within the psyche. For example - mind and body, light and dark, male and female, ego and unity. It is well known that those with a healthy heart chakra love more freely and have a deeper sense of self and centredness.
High quality therapeutic grade essential oils can be used to help bring awareness to the heart. And what better time to make the time to do it than in the month of love. The simple act of lighting your vaporiser, or even a candle, creating a beautiful blend especially for your lover, putting on special music, creating an exquisite meal or running an aromatic bath are all euphoric and powerful aphrodisiacs for the soul.
The most potent aphrodisiac oils are Rose, Jasmine, Patchouli, Ylang Ylang and Sandalwood.
Rose has a very strong, dense and rich aroma. It blends beautifully with most oils in particular Patchouli and Sandalwood. Rose is known as the Queen Of Essential Oils and is especially amazing for women. It can help balance hormones, has a tonifying effect on the reproductive organs and can certainly enhance sexuality. Although it carries a high price tag only one drop is needed to enjoy the healing and very nurturing effects of this oil. As a perfume it is exhilarating.
If Rose is the Queen then Jasmine is the King of essential oils. A rather exotic and fruity aroma it helps to relieve tension and relax the mind. With beautiful euphoric qualities it is said to help enhance sexual confidence. Only a very small amount is needed of this very intense but intoxicating aroma. It is arousing and transforming and helps one to feel connected and in the moment.
Patchouli has always been associated with love. This sensual, harmonising oil has a rich, earthy scent that is captivating without a doubt. It blends beautifully with Orange and Ylang Ylang and is known to help us feel in the present and connected to source.
Ylang Ylang is a beautiful soul connecting and love making oil. A strong, dense floral and fruity aroma only a small amount is needed for effect. Rather tranquilising and calming it helps bring confidence with ease. The perfect oil to have in a massage blend or a few drops in the bath.
The deep, woody and rich aroma of Sandalwood is highly concentrated and grounding. It helps induce a sense of calm, strength and serenity. It is considered a sexual restorative for both men and women. It is a delight to wear on its own or in a combination of other oils like Lavender or Geranium.
