Fragrant Massage
for Relaxation There is nothing more enjoyable than a
massage, unless it is a massage with essential oils! There are many oils
you can select to increase your enjoyment and the benefits of your
massage. In all the cases discussed below the essential oils can be added
in very small quantities to the masseur's massage oil.
If you are looking for pain relief in your massage you can use oils whose
properties are focused on relieving pain. Oils in this category include
chamomile, peppermint, eucalyptus, rosemary, ginger, or lavender. Of
course, these are just a few of the more readily available oils for this
purpose.
Those of you involved heavily in sports know that massage can help relax
and stretch hard-used muscles. Oils suitable for this include ginger,
rosemary, lavender, and grapefruit. After the massage, an ointment
containing some of these oils can be applied for continued relief.
Headaches can be helped by massage with an oil containing peppermint.
Especially comforting is a massage of the forehead and face using just a
drop of peppermint essential oil in the massage oil.
Romantic massage can be enhanced by adding rose, sandalwood, ylang-ylang
or a combination of any of these essential oils to the massage oil. And
the essence of a romantic massage is the sharing involved. So don't forget
to trade off giving massages!
Touched By A Scent has blended a new, very relaxing massage oil that has
received rave reviews from clients of a local massage therapist. It was
designed to provide extreme comfort and relaxation for the person
experiencing the massage. When receiving a massage with this oil you could
just melt into the table.
If you've never experienced a massage why not discover the benefits this
year? There are many great massage therapists in your local area. Ask the
therapist which styles of massage they use, deep tissue, sports massage,
Swedish, light massage, or any of several techniques. Ask them if they are
licensed and where they studied. Using that input, decide what kind of
massage experience you are looking for and make an appointment with the
therapist of choice. Then let your massage therapist know you are eager to
experience an aromatic massage. You'll be glad you did!

Energy Medicine and Reiki
Apprenticeship Workshops
In April, Ms. Heidi Abel of Englewood, Colorado will start a year-long
apprenticeship program for potential Reiki practitioners. She will be in
Kentucky on a quarterly basis to do intensive weekend programs on Energy
Medicine. Between her visits, each student will have exercises to
complete, they will journal their experiences, and they will share with
their fellow students under the direction of Suzanne Gochenouer, owner of
Touched By A Scent. Those persons interested in learning the history and
benefits of Reiki purely for their own knowledge and enjoyment will enjoy
Ms. Abel's extremely knowledgeable classes. For those who are interested
in becoming Reiki practitioners the apprenticeship program provides a
means of learning and absorbing all the ways that the use of Reiki will
impact their lives and the lives of those to whom they apply their
knowledge and energy.
Suzanne has been apprenticing with Ms. Abel in the study of different
forms of energy work for five years. She testifies that the apprenticeship
program offers the student time to practice and assimilate the newly
learned skills before moving to the next level. The mentor becomes a
life-long support as the student moves through different stages of life
and work in the fields of energy. The mentor encourages the student to
move on when it is time to take the next step of progression, and also
helps the student move past blockages in life and in energy when those
occur.
If you would like more information on the Reiki apprenticeship, or if
you would like to sign up for the first weekend experience, scheduled for
April 19, 20, and 21, 2002 please email your name and address to suzanne@TBAScent.com
