In this day and age, most of us think we are too busy to start a new routine but if you are stressed out in every day life, starting a practice of meditation can really calm you down, refocus how you use your energy and start you on a happier, healthier way. Using essential oils can help you start a meditation routine and allow you to focus on it enough to get amazing benefits.
Essential oils can be used in two different ways to facilitate meditation. First you can diffuse the oil into the air using an essential oil diffuser to promote aromatherapy inhalation. During meditation, aromatherapy inhalation can help stimulate the senses, promote relaxation, and create an ambient space so you can really focus. The second way is to directly apply thee essential oils to your skin. There are several ways to do this during meditation. You can apply the essential oil to sore areas that can distract your mind, you can apply it to your palms for self-directed inhalation, or you can apply it to your pulse points so it can quickly reach the targeted areas. So how you incorporate your essential oils into your meditation depends entirely on what you need to achieve. If you are using a strong essential oil like peppermint, you will need to dilute it with a carrier oil before applying it directly to your skin.
