The Sacred Power of Scent – My Journey with Sacred Scents Aromatherapy
Dear Mama,
In 2011, I met two souls who would profoundly influence my journey as a doula and healer: Joshua Bowser and Lemia Astarabadi. Their warmth, integrity, and deep wisdom in the realm of plant medicine resonated with me instantly. Over the years, our friendship has blossomed, and their creation, Sacred Scents Aromatherapy, has become an integral part of my practice and personal life.
Aromatherapy: More Than Just Fragrance
Aromatherapy isn't merely about pleasant smells; it's a bridge to the subconscious, a tool that gently nudges us toward healing. Scents have the profound ability to affect our emotional and astral planes, often bypassing our conscious defenses to touch the deeper layers of our being. In labor, where emotional blocks can stall progress, the right aroma can usher in acceptance, openness, and flow.
Why Sacred Scents Stands Apart
What sets Sacred Scents Aromatherapy apart is the intentionality and love infused into every bottle. Joshua and Lemia hand-pour each essence, ensuring that the energy remains pure and potent. They source their plant materials from certified organic and wild-harvested suppliers, emphasizing sustainability and respect for Mother Earth. Moreover, each essence is stored in a dark space with mantra playing continuously, allowing the vibrations to permeate the oils, enhancing their healing properties.
Their approach is holistic, acknowledging that true healing encompasses the mind, body, and spirit. By integrating sacred sound, meditation, and a deep connection to nature, Sacred Scents offers more than just aromatherapy—they offer a path to self-discovery and transformation.
Incorporating Sacred Scents into Birth Work
In my doula practice, I've witnessed first hand the transformative power of these essences. A few drops of Clary Sage can invigorate a laboring mother, while Lavender soothes and calms. Wild Tansy is the queen who shows us our inner strength. But beyond their physical effects, these scents serve as anchors, grounding mothers in the present moment, helping them navigate the waves of labor with grace and strength.
A Personal Invitation
