[]

It also embraces the use of essential oils as an aid to meditation, affirmations, visualization and all transformative techniques based on inner work.


亦可說

擁抱精油之利用

有助於冥想、證實、具體形象化

和基於內丹魂靈的所有轉化技巧

 

[]

Because of the versatility of essential oils, they can be used in many different ways.


因為

精油之妙

妙在多方

 

[]

When they are used with massage to treat a variety of physical ills (and this is the most important method of application in what I shall call ‘traditional’ aromatherapy) they act on the body in a very gentle, though effective way.


傳統芳療以馬殺雞為主

確實可以溫柔地紓解肉體的疾病

 

[]

This, though, is still a physical therapy and as such is not the main focus of this book, even though it is true that a physical aromatherapy massage can often have profound and beneficial effects on a less tangible level.


雖說如此

而且淵遠流長

不過那只是一些物理治療而已

雖然水平也不錯

卻不是本書的主要焦點

 

[]

Most clients report a feeling of uplift or release of anxiety after such treatment but that is still not Subtle Aromatherapy.


本書重在精微

非是一般患者報告書中所稱的

精神振奮焦慮紓解那麼簡單

而是一種全然的釋放

幾近於身心靈的大樂

以超乎那疾病的範圍

簡直跟悟道沒有什麼兩樣

 

[]

In Subtle Aromatherapy the therapist may not touch the client’s body at all, or may incorporate elements of subtle aromatherapy into a hands-on treatment.


在精微芳療裏

芳療師不會直接碰觸病患身體

甚或必須親自動手時

也僅僅是將精微芳療裏的心靈能量

做一個混合元素轉換應用

這跟馬殺雞的物理特性是完全不同的

 

[]

In some instances there may be no need for a therapist, as in the use of aromatics in burners or diffusers as a meditation aid, or in ritual bathing.


在某些情況之下

精微芳療

並不需要芳療師

譬如使用精油燈或香薰燈焚香

以作為冥想的輔具

或在淨身典禮中加入精油沐浴

 

[]

Some applications of essential oils that can be properly described as Subtle Aromatherapy are auric massage, chakra balancing, absent healing, planetary healing, meditation, ritual and religious ceremony, and the use of oils to help personal growth on both the personality and the spiritual level.


能正確幫助個人成長跟精神層面的提升的

也僅僅只有精微精油這一項

而真正它的內涵包括

auric massage歐雷克馬殺雞

chakra balancing掐可啦平衡

absent healing隔空治療

planetary healing行星治療

meditation冥想

ritual宗教儀式

以及

religious ceremony虔敬的儀軌

01什麼是精微芳療法?
What is Subtle Aromatherapy?
派翠西亞黛維絲撰
Patricia Davis
Therapy是療法
Aroma是芳香
Subtle是精微
中庸說
致廣大而盡精微
極高明而道中庸
中庸指的是一個廣大的境地
芳香療法是講境界、講適用性的
終究要歸向於精微之境
不如此即不稱之為精矣
₡₡
精油精微的精
是指花精子的精
所謂花精子者
天地人三才之感應融合
芳香精油僅是一個介質
溝通人天的地材
觸發心靈能量的一個處方而已
所以盧心權的譯作
乾脆翻它為
《芳香精油心靈能量處方》
不是沒有道理的

What is Subtle Aromatherapy?
In using this expression I have in mind primarily the use of essential oils in non-physical ways.
對於這一問題
其實黛維絲心中早有定見
她認為精油的應用
不應設限在physical way(肉體的形式)上
應該把它提升到哲學的意味
聞香知意
不僅僅是香的作用
其間花精子的精微
透過時空的浸潤擴張
也能達到一種高級的冥合
就好像你浸淫在其中一樣
身歷其境
祥和而安適
₡₡
老子曰音聲相合前後相隨
不僅僅是香氣觸動了你的鼻
而且那種振動使你心情愉悅
再者
不是身體的觸動
而是心靈的昇華
這樣一路下來
這些化學變化
已經超越了相對的境界
所以說
花香精療法是頗有看頭的
₡₡₡
蘇轍論語拾遺云
古之教人必以學
學必教之以道
道有上下
其形而上者道也
其形而下者器也
君子上達知其道也
小人下達得其器也
上達者不私於我不役於物故曰君子學道則愛人
小人者知義之不可犯禮之不可過故曰小人學道則易使也
哈哈
形而上者道也
黛維絲把它提到玄奧的頂端
你看她這本書十七章所提的(見前Contents
盡是些光怪陸離聳動的標題
什麼占測啦、輪脈啦、水晶啦、靜坐啦、性啦、精神啦、
也就精采可期了

Subtle Aromatherapy makes use of the oils to affect the subtle body, the psyche and, indeed, the soul.

In doing so, the user draws on the subtle, energetic or vibrational qualities of essential oils, rather than their physical properties.
做時
會有什麼情況發生呢
精油的利用(draws on
會勾勒出什麼情景呢
第一精微細緻的能量超乎身體所能感知的
第二是積極進取、勇猛精進、永無匱乏的
第三是振動的、擺盪的、泛音共振的天籟

莊子齊物論裏頭有一段

The expression can be used to denote the use of essential oils to heal the physical body by influencing the subtle or energetic body of the recipient so Subtle Aromatherapy may be described as one form of vibrational healing.

前說聞香知意
意即是通靈的振動
白川靜的字解
應該有助於這方面的理解
今抄錄如下:

意:會意,“音”與“心”組合之形。
通過語音來揣度心思,所以,此字的本義為揣度。
“音”本指神靈發出之聲,將“言”(向神禱告的文辭)呈獻於神靈之前。
“言”為“”加刺墨之針“辛”,表示若此祈禱含有邪意將甘願承受黥刑,從而對神起誓。此“言”置於神前,向神禱後,到了夜間,中沙沙作響,昭示神意。沙沙的音響究竟昭示著怎樣的神意,需要細心揣度,故“意”有揣度、推測、猜想之義。此外,還有思想、考慮、心思之義。揣測亦作“憶”,即憶度。戰戰兢兢地猜測揣度謂“臆”。神通過音響作出的暗示被理解時,人所發出“啊”的呼聲稱“噫”。

造物主的水療法



造物主的水療法

The Maker’s Hydrotherapy

 

Is it any wonder that water helps heal us when a large percentage of our bodies are composed of water?

Men and women have found refreshment and healing in water since the beginning of human history.

The Greeks and Romans built elaborate baths that are still standing, and more recently an American president plagued by polio made a pilgrimage to natural mineral baths in Hot Springs, Arkansas, seeking healing for his aching joints.

“Water healing,” or hydrotherapy, is simple and inexpensive in its various forms:

 

Bathe by immersion when you want to soak your sore body in a bath.

Simply immerse yourself for twenty minutes or so in 95-degree water to soothe nerves, relax muscles, and ease bladder and urinary problems.

Add healing herbs, salts, or essential oils to increase the effectiveness of the bath.

 

Showers often best meet the needs of sore shoulders, upper back, and necks.

 

Sitz baths are simply shallow baths deep enough to immerse the bottom and hips (and ease the various physical ailments and pains found in those areas).

 

Bathe your extremities—the feet and hands—in one or two buckets or containers large enough to hold them.

 

There are many ways to use hydrotherapy for the health of your body.

Here are just a few:

Warm up cold feet with a fifteen-minute bath in hot water For tired feet, go with a cold foot bath.

For aching or arthritic feet or hands, use two buckets or containers of water, one with hot water and the other with cold. Alternate your feet or hands between the hot bath (sixty seconds) and the cold bath (twenty seconds) for a total of twenty minutes.

The most effective way to get your blood flowing and to stimulate circulation is to take a shower and alternate between hot and cold water for a minimum period of fifteen minutes (one minute hot followed by one minute cold).

You should make the water as hot as you can handle without burning your skin and as cold as you can handle it without pain.

Alternate between hot and cold at least seven times during this period.

If one area in particular is sore, then make sure the water is hitting that area directly if possible.

造物主的醫治膏油



造物主的醫治膏油

Creator of the healing anointing oil


聖經搞精油搞得兇

有十四種所謂的膏油者

是用來治病的

下面列的即是

 

[]

The Bible mentions at least thirty-three species of essential oils and makes more than one thousand references to their use in maintaining wellness, acquiring healing, enhancing spiritual worship, emotional cleansing, purification from sin, and setting apart individuals for holy purposes. 

Why are they missing from our lives today?

 

[]

These essential oils were inhaled, applied topically, and taken internally.

According to David Stewart, Ph.D, “Seventy percent of the books in the Bible mention essential oils, their uses, and/or the plants from which they are derived.” 30

We are constantly learning more about essential oils, but we should consider their immense value when we understand the importance, mentioned so many times in Scripture, given to them by the Creator.

We do know that essential oils have the highest ORAC scores of any substance in the world. 

The oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) scale measures the antioxidant powers of foods and other substances.

 

[]

Four important biblical essential oils greatly outperform the highest-ranking fruits and vegetables in existence.

For example, one ounce of clove oil has the antioxidant capacity of 450 pounds of carrots, 120 quarts of blueberries, or 48 gallons of beet juice.31

Essential oils are composed of very small molecules that are able to pass through the blood- brain barrier freely or pass through the skin and reach every part of the body in minutes.

 

[]

If you place a drop of cinnamon or peppermint oil on the sole of your foot, you may taste it on your tongue in less than sixty seconds.

Jordan S. Rubin. The fourteen principle biblical essential oils I have listed below contain three unique classes of compounds.

The first are phenylpropanoids, which are antiviral and antibacterial; they are able to clean and reprogram “receptor” sites in individual body cells.

The second are sesquiterpenes, possessing a variety of healing properties and the ability to reprogram scrambled or damaged DNA coding. And the thrid are monoterpenes, which deliver oxygen directly to cells and possess anticarcinogenic properties."

 

Personal benefits

[]

Perhaps we should consider that the divine instructions for biblical anointing affected the physical realm far more than we formerly believed.

You may enjoy significant health benefits by utilizing essential oils for yourself, your family, and your home. I encourage you to anoint yourself with an essential oil and investigate these claims for yourself.

Place a few drops of one of the biblical essential oil blends on your palm, making several clockwise circles with your fingers. Then rub your palms together and cup them over your nose and mouth (but make sure you avoid touching your eyes).

Deeply inhale the aromatic vapors, then run your fingers and palms through your hair.

It won't make your hair “oily,” but it will transform the way you feel.

 

[]

A great way to use essential oils is to put five to ten drops into a warm bath.

That is a true healing treat.

You can also rub a few drops of these oils into the soles of your feet.

You can even gain benefit from inhaling directly from the bottle.

If you have small children, try applying essential oils to their stuffed animals or to their stuffed animals or to the inside of their pillowcase each night.

The following list is fourteen of the most useful essential oils with a brief description of their positive effects on the body.

 

[01]

Myrrh (Commiphora myrrha)

In days of old, pregnant mothers anointed themselves with myrrh for protection against infectious diseases and to elevate feelings of well-being.

It was also used in ancient times for skin conditions, oral hygiene, embalming, and as an insect repellent.

In modem times, myrrh is used to balance the thyroid and endocrine system, support the immune system, heal fungal and viral infections.

In modem times, myrrh is used to balance the thyroid and endocrine system, support the immune system, heal fungal and viral infections, and to enhance emotional well-being. 2.

 

[02]

Frankincense (Boswellia carteri)

In biblical times, frankincense was used as holy anointing oil, to enhance meditation, for embalming, and in perfume.

Frankincense was used to anoint the newborn sons of kings and priests, which

may have been why it was brought to baby Jesus Today it is used to help maintain normal cellular regeneration, to stimulate the body’s immune system, and as an aid for people suffering from cancer, depression, allergies, headache, herpes, bronchitis, and brain damage resulting from head.

 

[03]

Cedarwood (Cedrus libani) Cedarwood was used traditionally in ritual cleansing

after touching a dead body. unclean animals, or anything else Cedarwood was also used in the cleansing of leprosy and the cleansing of evil spirits.

It has been used by cultures around the world for embalming, medicine, disinfecting, personal hygiene, and skin problems.

Today cedarwood is used as an insect repellant, hair loss treatment, and for tuberculosis, bronchitis, gonorrhea, and skin disorders (such as acne or psoriasis).

Cedarwood has the highest concentration of sesquiterpenes, which can enhance cellular oxygen.

 

[04]

Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum)

Cinnamon and cassia are actually two species of the genus Cinnamomum and have similar fragrances.

Both are very effective antibacterial and antiviral agents that God provided to protect the Israelites from disease.

They support the human immune system in the baffle against influenza and cold viruses—simply inhale them or put them on the soles of your feet.  (Do not apply these powerful oils to sensitive areas of the body since they may be slightly caustic and irritating in these areas.  If irritation occurs, apply vegetable oil immediately to "cool off" the skin.)

 

[05]

Cassia (Cinnamomum cassia)

Cassia was an ingredient in Moses’ holy anointing oil.

Cassia, a cousin of cinnamon, is a potent immune system enhancer.

 

[06]

Calamus (Acorus calamus)

This ancient essential oil is rich in phenylpropanoids and is usually used in combination with other essential oils, It was used in holy anointing oil and incense and for perfumes.

It was an aromatic stimulant and a tonic for the digestive system. Today it is

used to relax muscles, relieve inflammation, support the respiratory system, and clear kidney congestion after intoxication. It is taken orally, inhaled as incense, and applied topically over the abdomen.32

 

[07]

Galbanum (Ferula gummosa)

Historically, galbanum was used as holy anointing oil, perfume, and in various medicines.

Today, galbanum is used to treat acne, asthma, coughs, indigestion, muscle aches and pains, wrinkles, and wounds as well as to balance emotions.

 

[08]

Onycha (Styrax benzoin)

This essential oil comes from tree resin and is the most viscous of all essential oils.

It has a characteristic vanilla-like fragrance and was used as a perfume, was blended into anointing oils, and was used to heal skin wounds and comfort, soothe and uplift.

Today it is used to stimulate renal output and treat colic, gas, and constipation.

It may help control blood sugar levels.

It is also inhaled for sinusitis, bronchitis, colds, coughs, and sore throats.

It soothes skin irritations and wounds.

It is inhaled, applied topically in wound dressings, and massaged into the skin. 33 9.

 

[09]

Spikenard (Nardostachys jatamansi)

In biblical times, spikenard was used as a perfume, medicine, mood enhancer, and preparation for burial.

Modern science has shown it to relieve allergies migraines, and nausea.

Spikenard supports the cardiovascular system and calms the emotions.

 

[10]

Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis)

As a principal deanser in biblical times, hyssop was used in many purification rituals and to drive away spirits. Modern science

has shown that hyssop can be used to relieve anxiety, arthritis, asthma, respiratory infections, parasites, fungal infections, colds, flu, and wound healing.

Hyssop metabolizes fat, increases perspiration, and can aid the body’s detoxification of harmful chemicals. Hyssop can provide help to balance emotions.

 

[11]

Sandalwood (Santalum album)

Used by the ancients for assistance in meditation, sandalwood is also an aphrodisiac and was used in embalming. Sandalwood contains sesquiterpenes that deprogram misinformation and carry oxygen at the cellular level.

It can be used in skin care, to enhance sleep quality, to support the female reproductive and endocrine systems, and to provide relief in urinary tract infections.

 

[12]

Myrtle (Myrtus communis) Myrtle was used in various ceremonies in biblical times that involved purification from ritual uncleanness.

Today, myrtle can be used to balance hormones, soothe the respiratory system, battle colds and flu, and treat asthma, bronchitis, coughs, and skin conditions (including acne, psoriasis, and blemishes).13

 

[13]

Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens)

Ancient healers used this essential oil to treat arthritis, laryngitis, swollen scar tissue, and cramps.

Today cypress is used to support the cardiovascular system and promote emotional well-being in times of loss or stress.

It also promotes the production of white blood cells and boosts natural defenses.

It is generally massaged along the spine, on armpits and feet, and over the heart and chest.34 14.

 

[14]

Rose of Sharon (Cistus ladanifer) Used historically as a perfume and to elevate mood, Rose of Sharon is used today as an antiseptic, immune enhancer, and for calming the nerves.

I highly recommend the use of biblical essential oils on daily basis.

Inhaled directly or used in therapeutic baths, these oils can make a subtle but powerful difference in our lives. (To locate biblical essential oils, please refer to Appendix B.)
