Essential Oils in Spiritual Practice: Working with the Chakras, Divine Archetypes, and the Five Great Elements

by Candice Covington, Sheila Patel M.D. (Foreword)

Using essential oils to influence your energetic make-up and karmic patterns

• Details how to identify which tattvas--the Five Great Elements--are dominant in your energetic make-up

• Explores the energetic signatures of the essential oils associated with each tattva and chakra, including their archetypes, sacred geometry, sacred sounds, and colors

• Explains how to identify your personal vibrational signature, purify your energy body, impart vibrational properties to jewelry, and work with yantras and mantras

The tattvas , the Five Great Elements--earth, water, fire, air/wind, and ether/space--create and sustain not only the universe but also all of its inhabitants. Each of us has a unique combination of these elemental energies behind our personal characteristics--everything from the color of our eyes to our behaviors and emotional temperament. What tattvas are dominant in your make-up can also be influenced by your surroundings and by karma. Essential oils, in addition to working biologically and chemically, also work at the energetic level, making them ideal for working with the tattvas.

Teaching you how to use essential oils to affect the very fabric of your being, Candice Covington details how the Tattvas Method of essential oils allow you to access the deepest, most hidden aspects of Self, those beyond the reach of the mind, the very energetic causation patterns that set all behaviors and thoughts into motion. She reveals how the tattvas are the energy that animate each chakra and how we can use their archetypal energy to shape our inner life and align with our greater soul purpose. The author provides energetic profiles of each tattva, chakra, and essential oil, explains their relationships to one another, and details how to identify what tattva or chakra is dominant at any given time. Exploring the energetic signatures of the tattvic essential oils, she details their elemental make-up, animal and deity archetypes, sacred geometry symbols, sacred syllables, and colors. She reveals how to discover the energy patterns responsible for directing unhealthy life patterns and explains how to identify your personal vibrational signature, purify your energy body, and craft your own unique ritual practice with essential oils.

Showing how essential oils are powerful vibrational tools for effecting change, the author reveals how they allow each of us to deliberately steer our own destiny, fulfill our personal dharma, and be all that our souls intended us to be.

First a special thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to read this book in advance. This book provides a great amount of references and background history/information before leading into each topic. The topics include spiritual alchemy, divine archetypes, tattvas, chakras, emptiness, choosing/using essential oils, choosing/using basic oils, self-study, deepening connections, divination, formulations, sacred jewelry, mantras and yantras, finger signatures, numerological signatures, and rituals. The book also lists resources, a bibliography, and has an index.

It is extremely easy to navigate and locate what you need to find and information seems thoroughly explained. I'd highly recommend!

I wanted to read Essential Oils in Spiritual Practice by Candice Covington because I lacked an understanding of essential oils as spiritually vital substances. This handbook by Candice Covington provides theory about the nature of the oils that come from plants and examines concepts about their energy and vibrational resonance with us. Ideas from Ayurveda, Hinduism, Buddhism, pagan beliefs, Jungian psychology, Christianity, and Judaism are examined in some depth; a few impressions from the book are noted here.

I read bits and parts because this is the kind of book you want to have on your shelf to reference because there is no way you will remember everything. It is better read as you practice what it says.

I look forward to making some of the bottle blends!

I skimmed through this book and it looks like it will be something that I will enjoy reading. Someone said "it's a book you want to keep on your shelf so you can refer back to it" and I'm really excited about starting this book.
