Heavenly Fragrance,,from the book"The Fragrant Heavens"

Blending with Prayer and Affirmations.

Prayers and affirmations are positive thought patterns, vibrations that can be transmitted to essential oils, especially when blending. Prayer is not something tangible...although its effects are. Many miraculous healings have been accomplished through the power of prayer. However, when prayong for another person, and particularly when blending oils for other people, it is crucial to be quite sure what it is they wish for. People are very complexed and may think they want a particular outcome when in their hearts, they dont. By all means make a blend of essencial oils to give to others which may help them find peacefullness.
