ANOINTING RITUALS

Throughout the ages humans created rituals to express their spiritual beliefs.
These were designed to celebrate, bless and heal.

One such practice, is anointing, which means to "touch with oil".

This ancient custom started with people swabbing wounds with oil in an effort
to heal the sick. When healing occurred, it was attributed to the particular god
or religious deity worshiped at the time.

Oil became known as a symbol of the healing power of the Divine,
and anointing evolved into a ritual of faith. Anointing now represents a spiritual blessing that dedicates or makes a ritual sacred.

Within India daily anointing of the human body remains an integral part of life and part of Ayurveda, an ancient system of health care.

Anointing was also an act of hospitality (Luke 7:38, 46). It was the custom of the Jews in like manner to anoint themselves with oil, as a means of refreshing or invigorating their bodies.

MAKE TIME FOR YOUR SACRED RITUAL

During this time take a moment to be in present time, and to assess how you feel,
"Tune in" to the oils that you have in front of you, and you will be intuitively drawn to
the blend that is appropriate for you to use. For those who are not feeling intuitive
refer to your Chakratherapy© Chart and read the outlines of each blend; you will
then be able to make your choice. Or simply just use your nose.
Once you have the blend in the palms of your hands, warming the oil before gently
spreading on to your body. Take several deep breaths of the aroma and when you
exhale, release all the stress you are holding onto. Repeat this practice several
times, and whilst doing this focus on the aroma of the essential oils.

Nightly Contemplations
Once you are in bed assess your day. If you have had any negative thoughts or
actions, mentally "call" that energy back and to whom you may have directed those
thoughts too, call your negativity back and send (them) prayers of healing and
unconditional love.
