Introduction Why take a look at physics—isn’t understanding the chemistry of essential oils sufficient to practice aromatherapy? Some would think so, but there is a whole world existing beneath chemistry that makes the study of essential oils even more fascinating. Once you see how physics underlies everything, you will gain greater insight into how nature actually heals. For all of nature is alive—it’s moving. The earth we stand upon is rotating and thus moving, creating its own vibration which can be detected as a hum. Our bodies are made up of living cells therefore every cell is moving—of course, we call this “life.” There is growing evidence that the earth’s vibration influences the vibrational frequencies of our own bodies. The growing body of evidence is showing that we, like the earth, are speeding up toward a shift in energy and awareness.

Beneath the chemistry of the molecules of essential oils there is movement which can help explain how and why the chemistry actually makes a difference in whether the oil is anti‐inflammatory, anti‐bacterial, anti‐spasmodic, or anti‐viral in its action.

Consider then the vibrational wave frequencies of the brain and that of the heart upon the brain, and you can see how the heart orchestrates our body/mind complex through the nervous and hormonal systems. When we throw in the effect of essential oils upon the heart and brain, we can then understand how essential oils heal.

As an energy therapist and aromatherapist, I have learned that our greatest role in client care is to help someone heal by coming into harmonic resonance. Intention, hands‐on healing, and essential oils are a combination that can aid total healing in body, mind and spirit.

Vibration Underlies All of Nature

I have always been fascinated with understanding how energy works. What makes life living? What holds this universe together? Are we all connected in some way through an invisible network or matrix? Traditional western medicine did not give me any answers to these musings. I had to go to physics to begin to understand how energy healing occurs. I found that everything

in nature is vibrating (moving) and therefore creates sound and light waves. These electromagnetic frequencies are measured according to the number of oscillations or units of cycles‐per‐second (cps) of a wave. Frequency is measured as “Hertz” (Hz) which is the number of cps at which energy moves in a cyclical form. Each oscillation is a complete wave cycle with a rise and fall of the wave. Heinrich Rudolph Hertz (1857‐1894) is the German physicist who first described radio waves. The Hertz value indicates the frequency of wave motion pictured on the oscilloscope to the right. To understand this, let’s take a simple example. Say two people are holding a jump rope and one person starts moving the rope up and down. The wave action will move down the rope. If the wave‐generating person increases the speed, then the frequency of the waves will increase—more cycles going down the rope in the



Page | 6

same time and this will generally mean a more powerful force is exerted by the radiation.

Scientists have figured out that electromagnetic radiation is a mixture of radiation of different wavelengths and intensities as seen above. We have electrical power and telephone waves, radio waves (used to transmit data via television, radio, shortwave radio, FM waves, mobile phones, MRI and wireless networking), microwaves, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, X‐rays and gamma rays and cosmic rays. These different forms of energy have a direct impact upon your health. The majority of these frequencies are invisible but that does not mean they cannot be harmful.

Electromagnetism is the physics of electricity and magnetism. Electrical energy flows throughout the body and is produced by the body. Magnetic fields operate within and around the body—the biofield.1

The Earth’s Magnetic Field Affects Our Own Vibrational Frequency The earth itself is rotating and thus creating a vibrational frequency which affects everything on the earth. Scientists have proven that the fertility of various species is timed to coordinate with the earth’s seasons, tides, and cycles of light and dark, which are vibrations or slow wave cycles.2

Gregg Braden, former geologist and computer systems analyst and now New York Times best‐selling author, has studied the earth’s base resonant frequency, called the Schumann Resonance, or SR. That measurement has been 7.8 cycles per second which scientists thought was a constant. However, reports now show the rate to be 8.6 and climbing, indicating that the magnetic field strength of the earth is declining which may indicate a magnetic pole shift in the works. But please understand this is not going to occur immediately. Yes, there are sharp increases in the amount of the sun’s energy reaching earth, global temperatures are rising, polar ice sheets are melting faster, and global sea levels are rising which are ominous signs of change. However, Braden states that we are nowhere near the “threshold” to indicate a pole shift. Other unforeseen events would have to occur to upset this delicate balance. The earth’s magnetic frequency is linked to our own cellular vibration and possibly evolutionary DNA changes that with the weaker magnetic field and faster base frequency, old emotional and mental patterns are less locked in and we have easier access to higher states of consciousness. He concludes that we, like the earth, are speeding up toward a shift in energy and awareness.3

Measuring the Human Body in Hertz Since all living cells vibrate—every atom, cell, tissue and organ—it can be said that our bodies oscillate or have a frequency which can be measured in cps (Hertz). Movement creates sound so your body actually hums or “sings.” If the cells are healthy, they emit more frequency; if not, they emit less. The beauty is that there is



Page | 8

an orderliness inherent in nature that is meaningful. This is also true of thoughts and emotions which scientist Candace Pert discovered and was able to measure.4

When our body vibration (frequency) goes out of “tune” we experience what science refers to as an energy block or a lack of energy flow. Most illnesses are characterized by blockage of the flow of energy and will manifest as inflammation, irritation, and illness. “Retuning” the body to its original frequency brings the body back into proper alignment or balance and we resume our natural harmonic resonance. Illness simply gets resolved or never develops. Just as in music, our bodies possess certain pitches or fundamental frequencies which oil molecules can resonate with and aid in restoring harmony to our bodies.

Bruce Tainio of Tainio Technology, an independent division of Eastern State University in Cheny, Washington, built the first frequency monitor called the BT3 Monitor in 1992. He used it to measure the frequencies of plants, essential oils, food, and human beings. It is Tainio who determined that the normal frequency of human beings is 62‐68 MHz (1 MHz is a million cps). This represents what we would refer to as a “state of health” where the immune system is functioning adequately to maintain wellness. When that number drops, it can be observed that the immune system has dropped and we become susceptible to things like colds and flu which have been measured at 57‐60 MHz. Here are some of Tainio’s measurements:

• Brain: 72‐90 MHz • Thyroid and Parathyroid glands: 62‐68 MHz • Thymus gland: 65‐68 MHz • Heart: 67‐70 MHz • Lungs: 58‐65 MHz • Liver: 55‐60 MHz • Pancreas: 60‐80 MHz



Page | 9

• Colds and flu: 57‐60 MHz • Disease starts at: 58 MHz • Candida overgrowth starts at: 55 MHz • Receptive to Epstein Barr at: 52 MHz • Receptive to Cancer at: 42 MHz • Death begins at: 25 MHz5

The way the BT3 Monitor worked was by measuring the Hertzian wave as it travels out from its source. The wave transfers energy to the objects that it passes through and the monitor’s sensor measures the nano voltage of the wave passing through an object. If you go through an airport scanner (radio waves), you know that it produces a picture thus identifying solid objects from soft tissue objects. The BT3 Monitor is no longer available for two reasons—some of the components are no longer able to be sourced, and second, due to the increasing impact of EMFs in our environment, it is more difficult to achieve reproducible results.6 We simply have polluted our environment with electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs). We literally are swimming in a sea of vibrations many of which do not contribute to a healthy state.

Tainio was not the first to suspect that disease has a frequency. Electrotherapy can be traced back to ancient Roman days when electric eels were used to relieve chronic headaches, arthritis, and other chronic pains of the body. Significant in history was the work of Nikola Tesla in the 1890’s who presented a paper about the medical application of high frequency currents. Other scientists through the 20th century published papers on the treatment of joint disease by high frequency currents. Dr. Royal R. Rife, American inventor and early exponent of high‐magnification time‐lapse cine‐micrography, believed that every disease has a frequency and that certain frequencies can prevent the development of disease while other frequencies can actually destroy disease.7 By the 1970’s companies were producing FDA approved bio‐frequency generators like the TENS units (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation invented by Dr. Norm Shealy MD). These are now acknowledged as viable methods of pain management. In the last decade, more advanced devices have been developed for pain control, injury



Page | 10

trauma rehabilitation, as well as for treating various diseases with bio‐frequencies.

This deep‐Pulse technology, based on the theory that all diseases have certain observable frequencies, was created to deliver accurate frequencies to affected areas of the human body.8

Your Brain Has Wave Frequencies Your brain is an electrochemical organ and its electricity can be measured in brain waves—frequency. Some waves are fast and some are slow and will indicate awareness levels.

Beta (15‐30Hz or cps) is the fastest of the brain waves and we can expect the person to be alert and awake and usually “busy.” This is when we are engaged in mental activity. The more intense your activity and arousal state, like when you experience fear, anger, hunger, or surprise—the faster the frequency. This is your busy linear mind and reflects a more contracted, shallow consciousness of daily reality.

Alpha (9‐14 Hz or cps) is slower. This is a more relaxed state but not drowsy. There is effortless alertness. Some call this the tranquil state like in

meditation, light hypnosis, creative visualization, artistic and intuitive processes, being out in nature, rest, and exercise. According to biofeedback research, the alpha waves are a sign that you become less worried, more open, and aware of more subtle kinds of information. Access is easier to deeper regions of memory, symbolism and insight.

Theta (4‐8 Hz or cps). These are much slower brain waves and are indicative of deep relaxation and light meditation. They are associated with drowsiness, the first stage of sleep, dreaming, inspired creativity and imagination, increased recall and mystical states of intuitive perception. The person can feel trancelike as when you



Page | 11

are driving on a freeway, losing track of time, or times when you find a free flow of ideas or visions. In theta, you find understanding about the nature of your true self. Peirce describes this as when the “ego begins to ‘die’ and be replaced by soul awareness.”9 Research has shown, she says, that when the mind turns inward and focuses on self‐reflection and inner processes, the brain waves shift from beta to alpha to theta as outside stimuli are shut out.

Delta (1‐3 Hz or cps) These are the slowest of the brain wave patterns and are found during deep sleep. They are connected with sleepwalking and sleeptalking as well as deep trance and processes of self‐healing. Out‐of‐body experiences occur in delta and your sense of self expands to become collective and universal. Time and space are meaningless. It’s certainly not easy to obtain this state when awake and conscious, but some Buddhist monks are known to do it.

We are living in an information age which leads to a great deal of overstimulation with beta. Slowing down and functioning more in alpha can be challenging which is why meditation is so key. Researchers have also found that those who suffer from ADHD are primarily functioning at theta level. Biofeedback helps these individuals to speed up into beta. This explains why focusing, dealing with ordinary reality, and thinking straight and logically are so difficult for hyperactive individuals.

The Electromagnetic Field of the Heart It is the heart that tells the brain what to do—literally. According to the research conducted by HeartMath10, the heart is far more than just a mechanical pump. The heart is autorhythmic, meaning it beats on its own without requiring input from the brain or nervous system. In fact, in fetal development, the heart‐beat is present long before the brain starts to develop. The electrical energy in each heartbeat and the frequency information contained therein is pulsed to every cell of the body, including the brain.11



Page | 12

The electrical energy or heart waves as measured by an electrocardiogram (ECG) shows that the heart has 40‐60 times more amplitude than the brain waves. The electromagnetic field as seen above extends several feet away from the body and the frequencies that are contained in and shape this field change as our thoughts and emotions change. Why is this significant? When entrainment between heart and brain occurs, there is a shift in perception leading to increased intuitive awareness. The heart is a highly complex, self‐organized information processing center with its own functional “brain” that communicates with and influences the cranial brain by way of the nervous system, hormonal system and other pathways.

Research is shedding light on the important role the heart plays. It is the most powerful generator of rhythmic information patterns in the human body. As an information and processing center, the heart possesses a far more developed communication system with the brain than do most of the body’s major organs.

“Since emotional processes can work faster than the mind, it takes a power stronger than the mind to bend perception, override emotional circuitry, and provide us with intuitive feeling instead. It takes the power of the heart.” Doc Childre, Founder, Institute of HeartMath12

Again, research is indicating that when heart rhythm patterns are coherent, the neural information sent to the brain facilitates cortical



Page | 13

function. This effect is often experienced as “heightened mental clarity, improved decision making and increased creativity.” We experience positive feeling states. How can the frequencies of essential oil fragrances affect coherent heart rhythms and thus the brain and general over‐all health? Let’s explore that concept.

The Concentrated Energy of Essential Oils The photo at left is a Kirlian photograph of a healthy, organically grown nettle leaf (Urtica urens) photographed by Mitchell May. 13 He used photomicrography and polarized light fields to produce energy field images such as this one. Plants transform the sun’s energy through the process of photosynthesis into food energy. Humans and animals eat plants and herbs that are healthy and take in this concentrated energy in order to grow and flourish. Each plant has its own unique frequency that keeps it in harmony with all of nature. When we eat plants and herbs we take on their energy (vibration) and in turn, it affects our

own vibratory level. Interestingly, Dr. Oldfield shows in a video presentation how organically grown plants have a beautiful energy field but those grown with pesticides show very little life force.14

Essential oils are the bio‐energy or life‐force within the plants. They do not resonate with toxins in our bodies which is why when we use oils through inhalation, skin application or taking them internally, they assist in driving toxins out. Neither do we find essential



Page | 14

oils resonating with toxic or negative emotions ‐ which explains why they are able to heal long forgotten traumas, allowing them to surface so they can be dealt with appropriately.

Essential Oils Primarily Affect our Subtle Anatomy We do not end at the borders of our skin. We extend in higher and higher frequencies of various layers of the energy fields which are several feet out from the physical body. This is the biofield or some would even call it the soul. Our physical bodies exist within these fields which have been numbered and named as the etheric, emotional, mental, astral, etheric template, celestial or body of light and the ketheric or golden template. Some people have the ability to actually see one or more of these fields with their physical eyes; others sense them with intuitive sight. They can be photographed with Kirlian photography as with the leaf on the previous page or with Electro Scanning Method (ECM) and Polycontrast Interference Photography (PIP) both developed by Dr. Harry Oldfield. (see discussion of his work beginning at page 17.)

The subtle energy nature of essential oils primarily affects our subtle anatomy, that is, our electromagnetic biofield and our energy centers, or the chakras. The physical body will reflect what is going on in the biofield. Our bodies are a dynamic energy system meaning they are always reflecting the moment‐to‐moment changes in our fields. Mind, emotions, and spirit can influence illness via energetic and neurohormonal connections among our body, mind and spirit. This is why we say that treatment in a holistic model of body/mind/spirit health is with different forms and frequencies of energy to rebalance the body/mind/spirit complex. So the more forms of



Page | 15

energetic frequencies we use to help someone come into balance—the better. Dr. Richard Gerber MD was one of the early western trained physicians who paid attention to various holistic approaches in his book “Vibrational Medicine.” He tells us that one of the best ways we can change dysfunctional patterns in our energy bodies is to administer therapeutic doses of “frequency‐specific subtle energy in the form of vibrational medicines.”15 Scientist and researcher Jim Oschman PhD goes even further and calls it “energetic pharmacology” in his book “Energy Medicine, the Scientific Basis” where he is referring to natural substances from the plant kingdom to distinguish it from chemical pharmacology.16

Harmonics and Coherency of Essential Oils Everything organic shares in this vibratory quality. The essential oils are the life‐blood of plants and so all of the compounds within aromatic oils possess this frequency. There are a variety of sources of vibrational frequencies within the molecules of essential oils. Hundreds and sometimes thousands of different chemical compounds are found in essential oils. The larger and more complex the molecule, the greater the spectrum of frequencies found. When atoms form bonds to create a compound, there is a measurable frequency associated with that bond. For instance, double bonds between carbon atoms have been measured at frequencies between 49 and 68 mega‐megahertz (MMhz). One megahertz (Mhz) is a vibration of one million times per second. A mega‐megahertz is a million‐million times per second (a trillion times per second.) A double bond between a carbon atom and an oxygen atom measures at 51‐53 MMhz and a single bond between a carbon atom and an oxygen atom is slower at only 30‐39 MMhz.



Page | 16

Look at the drawing to the right. The Double lines indicate a double bond. Single lines indicate a single bond. This chemical drawing is of linalool, an alcohol.

It might be helpful to visualize these bonds like stretched harp strings that when played, produce a sound. Each bond between each pair of atoms in a molecule can produce different pitches giving us a spectrum of frequencies like the spectrum of all the tones produced by the harp or any other instrument. Strumming the bonds of a molecule is exactly how our body’s cells and organs access the vibrational qualities of an essential oil. When a harp, piano, guitar, violin or clarinet all play middle C (257 Hz) you can tell the difference between the various musical instruments—but they all played the same note. That is because the frequency of pitch is not the only frequency present in the sound. The other frequencies are called “harmonics.” Harmonics can actually lower the overall frequency of the pitch.17

Essential oils are basically mixtures of hundreds of varieties of molecules each capable of a variety of frequencies. Rather than producing chaos, these mixtures do not form incoherent masses. There is NO CHAOS. Their many frequencies are tuned in mathematical precision like the logarithms of a musical scale. When compounds from nature are blended by God to create holy anointing oils, the molecules respond to one another and adjust their frequencies into the coherence of a finely tuned instrument. The compounds of therapeutic essential oils form harmonious, coherent, functional families to serve and heal us according to the will of their Creator.18 This is utterly amazing and

OH



Page | 17

found only in nature. Man cannot create such coherency—it is not within our power. From this, it should be clear why we should not modify therapeutic quality oils by removing some of their constituents, adding synthetic ingredients, or by adulterating them with solvents that can upset or destroy the delicate harmony God has designed. If nature can create such coherency and order, think again what the frequencies and the fragrances of essential oils can do to affect the coherency of heart rhythms which in turn affects the brain and over‐all health.

Importance of Frequency Energy disturbances in the field will actually precede the appearance of disease and illness in the body. When your vibrational frequency falls below certain levels, you

become susceptible to such things as colds and flu as we have already seen with Bruce Tainio’s work. If it continues to fall, you succumb to more serious illnesses. If they fall too low, death occurs. Modern‐day inventor and biologist Dr. Harry Oldfield (pictured at left) discovered that by treating individuals with regular “energy retuning,” amazing results could be achieved in the prevention of disease, alleviation of symptoms in existing disease, and general maintenance of a healthy balance between the energetic and the physical systems. This is a type of

“energy restructuring” on the causal energy field which is the causative factor of the energy patterns of the body. Oldfield uses crystals to restore balance to the energy field which he is able to photograph. 19 As energy therapists, we use our hands to balance and modulate energy flow and as aromatherapists, we use the frequencies of essential oils to do the same thing. A later invention of Oldfield’s is



Page | 18

the Polycontrast Interference Photography or PIP referred to earlier. This instrumentation can distinguish between many different grades or qualities of light. The end result is an image on the computer screen showing pulsating bands of color and light. In one of Oldfield’s experiments, essential oils were put in the palm of a subject’s hand as he was being scanned. His aura became brighter and wider than the fields of control subjects in which no oils were used.20 (Unfortunately, they did not name the oil used but in my experience, most oils will change the field.) The images from PIP will show variations in energy fields enabling some practitioners to accurately assess the energy field with close correlations with the chakras described in ayurvedic medicine and the energy meridian pathways in traditional Chinese medicine. Leaks and blockages of energy flow can be observed sometimes before standard diagnosis allowing the healer to nip the problem in the bud so to speak. In other cases, a PIP scan can correspond with what CAT scans or MRIs are indicating as problems. The scan above shows clearly the placement of the chakras and is a normal scan.

Of course the energy field is in a continual state of change—it’s not static. All sorts of things can influence it—including your internal and external environment. It’s when patterns get “stuck” that we begin to see disease states manifest. There are many different ways to affect the energy field and restore it to balance—the Institute of Spiritual Healing and Aromatherapy teaches three ways—prayer/intention, energetic healing, and the use of essential oils. But there are many other ways as well. Our work as healers is to find those combinations that enable the person to move towards a dynamic state of harmony and balance—what works for them.

Penney Peirce, author of the book “Frequency, the Power of Personal Vibration,” states that



Page | 19

“Your personal vibration—the frequency of energy you hold moment by moment in your body, emotions, and mind—is the most important tool you have for creating and living your ideal life. If your energy frequency is high, fast and clear, life unfolds effortlessly and in alignment with your destiny, while a lower, slower, more distorted frequency begets a life of snags and disappointments.”21

Are there aids to help us clear our fields in order to live our lives to their highest potential? YES! Essential oils are one of those aids.

When we inhale, swallow, or apply essential oils to the skin, they resonate (come into oneness) with our body’s tissues

at the frequencies intrinsic to their molecular spectrum and to their harmonic frequencies. The result is that the oil’s frequencies will increase your own natural electromagnetic vibration and restore coherence to your auric fields to produce healing and maintain wellness. Dr. David Stewart PhD says that essentially—the oil has sung the right tune to our cells and they have responded vibrationally.22 They bring relief and healing in thousands of ways. Their molecules were designed to resonate with your receptor sites and that is how they work so well. The “sickness” in our bodies does not respond so our bodies resonate at frequencies where disease cannot exist. Each essential oil has its own unique frequency. They range from 52 to 320 megahertz, the frequency of rose oil. Therapeutic essential oils produce coherent frequencies that are naturally tuned to frequencies of health in our bodies. Pharmaceuticals and synthetic oils do not. So nature can assist in raising your personal vibration enabling you to live your ideal life.

When several oils are blended together, each having a different Mhz frequency, a frequency will emerge that may be higher or lower than the various components. Thus, the plant’s therapeutic properties create special vibrational remedies capable of healing or rebalancing the body/ mind/spirit.



Page | 20

The frequency rates for essential oils may be the most important factor in using oils with hands‐on healing. However, there is a problem in trying to consistently measure the essential oils. There is NO consistency with essential oils as Tanio remarks. He speaks of a “symphony of frequencies occurring in the cells” and a “resonant harmonic factor.” When working with the energy field and the energy centers, our goal is to bring the subtle energy body into

balance. What does the client need at this juncture in his/her healing process? Is it harmony and balance, clarity, relief of pain, integration, energy, relaxation, restfulness or sleep, spiritual/inner awareness, emotional release, peacefulness/calmness, strength, connection to God or sense of Higher Self? Choosing the right essential oil and the right hands‐on treatments will help facilitate achieving your mutual goals.

Frequencies of Essential Oils The frequency of an essential oil can depend on many variables:

• how the plants were raised • how they were harvested • how the oil was processed • how it is stored • the age of the product

Hopefully you now have better insight into why some oils work to heal the human body and how oils that weren’t properly raised, harvested, processed, or stored—do not have that ability. We can use gas chromatography and mass spectrometry to determine the correct constituency of an oil but determining the vibrational frequency is much more difficult. We do not have the technology at this time to consistently measure the life force in the oil.23 We can only go on tests that



Page | 21

determine the correct chemistry. At best, we can produce a range of frequencies for an oil just as we can measure a range of frequencies for a body in balance and a body out of balance. This requires testing several batches of an oil and coming up with a composite number. This much we do know—pure essential oils have strong frequencies, while adulterated oils may be as low as 0 MHz. When you inhale an essential oil, there is an immediate shift in your frequency level. Adulterated oils may actually lower your frequency level.

For example, here are the average frequencies of some of the therapeutic essential oils that have been measured24:

Angelica (Angelica archangelica) 85 MHZ

Basil (Ocimum basilicum CT methyl chavicol) 52 MHz

German (blue) Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) 105 MHz

Galbanum (Ferula gummosa) 56 MHz

Helichrysum (Helichrysum angustifolia var. italicum) 181 MHz

Juniper (Juniperus osteosperma) 98 MHz

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) 118 MHz

Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) 102 MHz

Myrrh (Commiphora myrrha) 105 MHz

Peppermint (Mentha piperita) 78 MHz

Ravensara (Ravensara aromatica) 134 MHz

Rose (Rosa damascena) 320 MHz

Sandalwood (Santalum album) 96 MHz



Page | 22

These single oil frequencies are the only ones published and are representative of only a few oils in an arsenal of therapeutic healing oils. According to Tainio, the average living plant is 20‐22 MHz. The frequency of the fruit (after pollination) can be as high as 80 MHz. Healthy nutritious plants always have a higher frequency than less healthy ones. Dry herbs have a frequency from 12 to 22 MHz, and fresh herbs from 20 to 27 MHz. By comparison, processed and canned foods have no measurable frequency at all. So if your food comes in a can, box or bag—it has no life force whatsoever. 25 You

can further deduce from this discussion that adding essential oils that do carry a vibrational frequency to your food will increase the value of your food to nourish your body.

Therapeutic essential oils used for the purpose of physical healing can create an environment in which low frequency diseases, harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungal diseases cannot survive. We know from Dr. Royal Rife that every cell has its own vibratory resonance. Good bacteria have a higher frequency than bad bacteria. A substance with a higher frequency, (like an essential oil), will neutralize a disease with a lower frequency.

The frequencies of essential oils can do more than heal on the physical plane—they can heal emotionally and spiritually as well. Essential oils in the low frequencies have more effect on structural and physical changes including cells, hormones, and bones. Those in the higher ranges can also influence emotions and spirit.

The energy of an essential oil can trigger various states of consciousness enabling us to deal with and resolve emotional issues. Positive thoughts carry a higher frequency than negative thoughts so



Page | 23

when we inhale an essential oil, it lifts our spirit or level of consciousness to one of feeling supported and loved. Thought patterns and emotions that carry a lower vibration either get lifted up and resolved or brought into consciousness where they can be dealt with in a positive manner. This will be explored in greater detail in the ebook on clearing emotions.

Essential Oils and Prayer/Intention Bruce Tainio found that when you pray over your oils, the frequency can increase by as much as 15 Mhz. To those in a healing ministry, this comes as no surprise. Prayer simply makes essential oils work better and essential oils make prayer work better. James 5:13‐16 directs us to pray and anoint for healing along with the laying‐on of hands. The oils will magnify your intent as they respond to your thoughts and go where you have directed their healing vibrations. According to God’s purpose, they can only work together to do good.
