Using Vibrational Aromatherapy In Treatment

Whether the treatment is professional or non-professional, it takes thaought and planning for those professionals who are contemplating incorporating energetic or vibrational aromatherapy into their practice, setting the right environment helps create an atmosphere of a spiritual haven, even in your usual practice

Music

Some therapists enjoy using music and others do not. It really depends on how the therapist feels rather than the client - unless, of course, the client dislikes your chosen tape. It's surprising how opinions vary on which music is relaxing and which is not, so do choose most carefully.
Sounds

Some therapists like to include sound, such as singing or crystal bowls, gongs, or tapes that claim to synchronize, or attune, the human aura. Souns 'clear' a room or change the energy of a room very quickly.

This is most often done at the beggining or the end of an individual treatment, or the working day. For those who work as clinical aromatherapists, using anything other than their usual medical skills not only takes up valuable time, but also might seem just a little too New Age.

Being in this situation myself and not wanting to use anything superfluous, I was told by a sound expert that sound memories, as vibration or sound waves, can become embedded in the fabric of buildings - which made me think about another way.

Now, to clear away the conversations of the day, the 'informational clutter', I might ring a bell, clang a gong, or even simply strike a glass. Apparently that does the trick.

Colour

Colour - including white - is applied on the walls, of course, but it is equally present in towels, the couch, massage-table coverings, and in pictures and plants.

Try to create a haven of peace and tranquillity that feels fresh and enlivening at the same time. Pictures ansd accessories can provide a splash of colour while the rest of the furnishings can be chosen to produce a peaceful feel. There are many helpful books on this subject.

Aromas

Constantly using different aromas in a room presents a real conundrum for may therapists. A person may have been treated for a rheumatic condition with oils that are a completely different requirement and aroma to those needed for the following person who has, say, an anxiety crisis regarding the in ability to feel any type of spirituality - a common occurence these days.

What can you do - especially as many rooms do not have a window that can be opened? Extractor fans used for five to ten minutes between treatments seem to be the most effective solution.

Those with air conditioning systems may find the atmosphere is effectively dealt with. An ionizer is another way in which atmosphere can be changed.

Background radiation is another consideration, and there are now several companies selling machines which are said to stabilize the frequencies, deflect them or neutralize the 'field incoherence'.

Accessories

According to feng shui, large crystals placed in corners of the room, and mirrors that face doors, deflect energy. Lots of green, living plants and running water also help.

Flowers and floating candles in a bowl would pretty up the area. The lighting should be arranged so that it does not shine directly on the client.

The BI-Gendered God-She-male Gods & The Roots of Christianity

The"gynomorph" was a bi-gendered god with both masculine and feminine attributes. The word itself is just a pairing pf gyno-" woman with morph "shape".

Literally, a gynomorph is a god with female-like shape .

Traditionally, the gynomorph was a developed or evolved state of a feminine divinity or "daimon" ( demon in English). Gynomorphs were portrayed as effeminate young males, like Dionysus, a masculine god who possessed distinctly feminine features.

Gynomorphs retained the creative capacity of female divinities-they had cosmic wombs-but they also possessed the inseminating abilities attributed to more-masculine gods.

Gynomorphs were special because they stood in the gender gap between male and female gods. Gynomorphs formed a bridge between the sexes.

They were a combination, or the sum, of both genders.In this way, gynomorphs were hermaphroditic, and could appear sometimes as predominantly masculine, and other times as predominantly feminine.

The gynomorp was an important figure in the ancient culture because the Greco-Roman world possessed no word for "gender".

They viewed sex not as a binary proposition, but as a natural sum of two cooperative potentials; that is, masculinity and femininity were measurements of a sexual scale.

In their view, sexual attributes were a combination of both. masculine and feminine qualities.

There were no absolutes; sexual characteristics were combinations of gender. For this reason, their closest word to English "gender" was "kind."

Geometry and Myth-She-Male Gods & the Roots of Christianity

For the Greeks, pioneers of the study of geometry, circles, squares and triangles were no different from myths.

They did not exist in reality; you can't touch a circle or hold one in the palm of your hand- shapes are just conceptual representations of mathematical realities.

In the same way, the Greeks viewed stories of male and female gods who walked among mortals and interacted with them as nothing less than a means of expressing immaterial reality. The fact that you can't see a circle unless you draw one does not make it any less real.

The ancient world believed the same principle applied to gods and demons. Like circles and squares, the gods-the immortal visitors from other dimensions-had concrete shapes.

They assumed certain personalities and characteristics. Hades, king of the dead, was unrelenting and unforgiving; Zeus, ruler of the ordered universe, was known for his foresight, Poseidon, master of the oceanic waters of change, was irritable and ready to cause great earth quakes at a moment's notice.

Mother nature, goddess of generation, was characterized by her power to both nourish and destroy living things.

The "he" and "she" or gender of the gods was recognized in antiquity as a means of relating the confounding realities of non-physical cosmic forces.

Contrary to modern feminism and classical scholarship, there was never an ancient religious war between matriarchy and patriarchy, because the Greeks and the Romans taught that gods do not have actual genders-just as they don't wear sandals, eat lunch, or braid their hair. Gender was an "angle " in the pictorial representation of the gods.

Athena was feminine, because she was the nourishing force of civic justice. Pan the divine shepherd of nymphs, was masculine because his fear-inducing sex drive was responsible for maintaining the frenzied flight of nature's procreative sprits; the word "panic," taken from his name, expressed the fear of a young girl walking by herself in a forest.

Gender in myth was a means of expressing immortal, cosmic reality; no Greeks or Romans ever believed their gods had actual vaginas or penises. Sometimes a god male, other times she is female; and sometimes the same god is a he-she, a being of both a masculine and feminine nature.

Again, this is difficult for a modern audience to comprehend, when it has traditionally divided ancient deities into "gods" and goddesses. " However, the ancient reality is far different.
There were no gods and goddesses in antiquity; they were just cosmic, ageless beings with masculine, feminine and sometimes bi-gendered traits.
