Aromatherapy has its basis in ancient knowledge, older than mankind itself. Science is based upon the various strengths of aromatic herbs and oils in the treatment of diseases and wounds of the body and the spirit, and in the preservation of their many natural functions, or the regeneration of these physical and spiritual functions.

The oils activate both absorption of oxygen and fission. Working with aroma and colour can play an important role in the healing process. Provided that aromatherapy is applied the correct way, it can strengthen and body and mind and keep them healthy.

Ancient peoples already used the healing powers of vegetation. An example is the effect of aloe on the natural functions of the skin. Thousands of years ago, the juice from the cactus-like plant Aloe vera was already used by Indians and Mexican peoples, both internal and external. Most of the medicines that are prescribed to us in case of diseases and ailments, are made up with a base of active substances from plants.

The enormous development of chemical science may have provided many alternative healing, stimulating and tranquillizing active substances, but they will never be able to completely replace the natural powers of our surrounding flora. During the workshops, practice and theory will constantly alternate.

CRYSTAL AND SOUNDHEALING

Crystalhealing

Throughout centuries, many primitive peoples have used gems and minerals. The kind of usage varied from curing diseases to using them for rituals. These primitive peoples thought it was natural that these gems and minerals have an effect. This naturalness is missing in our time. We are living in a world in which a rational approach prevails. We have difficulty opening up to the instinctive approach, that was so natural to the ancient primitive peoples. We want to explain everything scientifically, before accepting something as a fact. Because of this, we have lost confidence in our own instinct. On entering the Aquarius Age, this will change gradually.

We will learn to discover the forces of nature, including those of gems and minerals, all over again. We can learn to look and listen to whatever stones have to tell us. Crystals are directly focused towards our inner knowledge. When we open up our hearts, we can get subtle impressions that the crystal is radiating, in order to finally experience the light within ourselves. Images and feelings will become clear, because the light and the energy of the crystal reflect our own inner knowledge.

Soundhealing

Everything within and around us consists of its own unique vibration, which reflects sound. For instance, you can think of your digestive system, your blood circulation or the beating of your heart. Sounds have a certain effect and evoke images and feelings. Sound can be considered as the source of all tangible and intangible elements and structures. Every human being is part of this and wants, either consciously or unconsciously, to stay connected to the Source, expressed by means of sound. The purpose of soundhealing is to become conscious of the radiation of sounds, which are harmonizing and salutary.
