Prescriptive and Personalized Aromatherapy
2020-09-19 10:00 - 11:00
Introduction to Prescriptive and Personalized Aromatherapy
Interview with Karen Janusz, Certified Aromatherapist
&
Dr. Kathleen Rickard, FNP

In this interview, we will be exploring how Aromatherapy could benefit someone experiencing Grief, Trauma, Pain, Insomnia, Anxiety, Anger, and other symptoms related to loss. Essential Oils used in Aromatherapy have a profound effect on the subtle energy of the body. When inhaled essential oils immediately go to work at the center of the brain to restore rest and relaxation or increase excitement and alertness. When oils are applied topically, they reach the bloodstream in 26 seconds and go to work to assist with healing at the cellular level. Karen will be introducing an exciting new service at EricsHouse using aromatherapy to create prescriptive and personalized blends and also combine these personalized scents with a reiki session for a powerfully healing experience.
Date: Saturday, September 19, 2020

A Course in Miracles with Life Coach Lisa Liss
Every Thursday from 11:00 AM- 12:00 PM (PT)

A Course in Miracles is a 1976 book by Helen Schucman. It is a curriculum for those seeking to achieve spiritual transformation. The underlying premise is that the greatest “miracle” is the act of simply gaining a full “awareness of love’s presence” in one’s own life.
A Course in Miracles defines “miracle” as the conscious choice to make that mind shift, including its non-observable effects on the minds of others. The workbook lessons attempt to train the reader to see oneness in all living things for a steadily increasing time of the day.
