Description
Are you ready to discover how to use essential oils to enhance your immune system, cultivate more life force, dispel inflammation and relax your body and mind?
Discover practical, time-tested healing methods for using essential oils to restore your energy, increase your mental focus, foster optimal wellness and advance spiritually.
The use of aromatic compounds for healing is an ancient art AND science — stretching far back into the history of India, Egypt and the Americas.
Traditional practitioners used aromatherapy for a simple reason: It works.
The way it worked was described according to the principles and concepts of traditional medical systems…
Now, modern science is helping to bridge the gap from traditional knowledge, showing that specific aromatics can affect our central nervous system, our endocrine system, our musculoskeletal system, our immune system and more.
There is also now solid research that shows that aromatic compounds trigger our neurochemistry in specific ways, which then affects how our whole body relates to stressors.
And, if we look beyond the biological science of aromatics, we discover that they have a profound impact on our subtle bodies and energy systems. There’s a reason that frankincense was highly valued in ancient temples — modern research shows that it can help create heightened states of awareness and unitive states of consciousness.
So whether you are aiming to support your physical, emotional, mental or spiritual wellbeing, aromatherapy has an important role to play.
Simply put, essential oils offer one of the easiest ways to get you on the path to optimal health and wellbeing.
As you become more skilled in working with aromatherapy, you can start to diagnose HOW you are out of balance and apply specific, non-invasive essential oil remedies that revitalize you and restore your balance and natural health.
You discover how to use essential oils more effectively to treat your whole system as well as specific conditions.
This is true whether you’re talking about dental health, skin care, digestive issues, respiratory problems or emotional instability.
A BREAKTHROUGH IN HEALING ON THE SUBTLE LEVELS
In the exciting online program, The Aromatherapy Advanced Training, you have the chance to learn from David Crow, one of the most respected botanical medicine pioneers in the world, who will teach you how to approach healing safely and effectively with essential oils.
You’ll discover what’s important for different constitutional types (using both the Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine systems) as well as how to receive the most benefit from a wide range of essential oils, both common and relatively unknown.
You’ll understand how to improve your concentration and memory, ground and calm yourself, heal your circulatory system, treat skin conditions, access higher consciousness and much more.
You’ll also discover how to reduce stress and promote deep and restorative sleep.
You’ll learn about the safe uses of oils topically and in diffuser applications as well as how to use aromatic baths, medicated oils, steam treatments and other aromatic therapies.
This advanced training will also take you to a much deeper, richer and multi-faceted understanding of medicinal botanicals. In the modern West, we’ve been raised to think of plants as objects that exist chiefly for our pleasure and consumption. We use them to nourish our bodies and beautify our gardens and homes.
The truth is that plants, and the essential oils we derive from them, are so much more than that. They can help you evolve on many levels…
They can detoxify your body, purify your mind, rebalance your emotions and reboot your energy.
They can help you heal disease and expand your vision.
Plants can also reveal to us an entirely different relationship with the natural world.
As you learn to open to the deeper blessings of plants through the wise use of essential oils, you can receive more of their healing and medicinal powers and put yourself on a path to higher consciousness.
Ancient seers, mystics and healers discovered many hidden aspects of the plant kingdom and passed down that knowledge in different healing lineages. Now, in David’s 5-month program, you can harvest the best of multiple healing lineages to create a new, expansive and natural approach to healing for your health and wholeness.
A NEW PARADIGM OF RELATING TO ESSENTIAL OILS
Rather than sifting through and distilling an endless array of information on your own, you can take this 5-month virtual journey with a master guide who has dedicated his life to exploring, classifying and documenting the practical, medical, psychological and spiritual powers of essential oils and how to safely use them.
Floracopeia founder David Crow, LAc is one of today’s greatest synthesizers of the vast knowledge contained within the plant kingdom. He not only has assimilated the research, he’s spent decades immersed in the ancient healing arts. He can guide you through the hype and misinformation common in this field.
David has journeyed deep into the Ayurvedic tradition as well as the Chinese tradition and studied with masters the world over.
He’s deeply trained in spiritual practices as well as healing traditions, so he shows you not just what to take but how to have a wholly new relationship with essential oils derived from plants.
A CORNUCOPIA OF PRACTICAL HEALING WISDOM
In The Aromatherapy Advanced Training, David has synthesized proven techniques, tips and strategies for accessing the profound healing, restorative, medicinal and spiritual powers of essential oils in 18 information-rich modules.
With all the poor-quality information about essential oils floating around, many people have had sub-optimal experiences with aromatherapy. David will help clear away the misconceptions and show you safe, non-invasive and effective ways to use essential oils to balance your body, harmonize your environment and optimize your wellbeing.
He’ll explain the critical role essential oils can play in purification and detoxification of the body and mind.
He’ll escort you across the threshold of an enthralling new world that empowers effective healing and nourishment of your body, mind and soul — and those of your loved ones.
You’ll never look at essential oils the same way again. When you choose to take this journey with David, you’ll gain a profound understanding that links biology, ecology and spirituality with a felt sense of connection with all of life.
In every class, you’ll gain important information about essential oils that can enhance your physical and emotional wellbeing. Ultimately, you’ll see that each and every plant, herb and flower can open a pathway into a deeper relationship with your body, mind and soul — and thus serve as a portal to personal transformation.
