Choosing Essential Oils for Subtle Energy Work

There is a flow of energy, not only between essential oils and people, but between people and essential oils; it's a two-way street. When choosing essential oils at ant time, then, we need to consider the source of those oils in terms not only of the plant species, location it was grown, growing and distillation conditions and so forth, but the human source of the mental energy that also affects these highly sensitive products of nature.

In a way one could suspect a crystalline action here, in that the essential oils seem not only to transfer energy, but to absorb and hold it, just as a 'crystal radios', and the computer revolution in Silicon Valley, California; silicon is crystalline.) This phenomenon is well known to scientists who increasingly study crystals with great interest.

There's a rumor circulating in some scientific circles that NASA currently has a programme in place where, in :the black room', a huge crystal sits in a pool of purified water, from which information is transferred by the water-memory mechanism, and from which a computer picks up the informational 'bytes' and records them.

Scientists watch as information seeps out of the crystal, in much the same way as Archaeologists have over the years successfully worked on many ancient languages and today scientists are working on the even more ancient code: the language of the universe that is hidden in crystals.

If we think of essential oils as liquid crystals, we should also ask ourselves what information has been absorbed by them in terms of energetic-transference - including other people's thought-forms. Essential oils have many qualities, only some of which we know well and appreciate.

Their chemistry is best understood, and this is how essential oils are usually defined. At University College, London, Dr Luca Turin has been working on the vibration rate of aromatic materials, which is a feature of their chemistry.

He believes it is the vibration of an aroma molecule that makes it 'smell' a certain way, rather than its molecular shape - which was until recently the usual explanation for the smell-mechanism (i.e. the shape of the aroma molecule 'locks' into an olfactory receptor which sends a message to the brain).

Establishing the vibration rate of an aroma molecule involves electron-tunnelling spectroscopy, and building up a database of the frequencies of essential oils will take years, according to Turin.
