Essential oils have
been used for both therapeutic and liturgical processes for
many millennia. Modern science and the use of oils in
aromatherapy have brought a renewed fascination and
revitalized use of oils for therapeutic needs. There are
many books which describe the chemistry, and pharmaceutical
properties of oils. In massage practices, oils have
traditional been used to uplift or change people's
perceptions and state.
Rhinencephalon
The rhinencephalon,
or smell brain, a large remnant of our mammalian brain,
lying deep in the temporal lobes is responsible for our
awareness and reactivity to new and old situations. We
constantly reference the new with memories of the old -
even if the memory is vague, approximate or dissimilar. Our
brain seeks out information deep in the amygdala nuclei
that hold deep seated memories which, when accessed
immediately trigger off our endogenous hormonal
flight-fight complex as they elicit fear. This sense of the
unknown - which is what fear is – has a primary function.
It activates our mammalian self, our instinctual reactivity
- the impulse to run, be guard, stand and fight, draw up
reserves, flood the system with adrenalin to prepare for
the worse. Some of us operate from this overactive yet
hidden pair of nuclei which constantly alert us to dangers
that do not exist.
These oils are great for changing or clearing old memory.
Techniques that allow us to pick the appropriate oils are
taught by Ad Humanitas. We use kinesiology and the use of
specific mudras to ask the innate understanding within the
being (rather than the body) to access the memory and then
choose the oil which would effectively erase, alter, subdue
or wash away the memory. However, if you sit quietly with
the box in hand, and become still, placing your fears to
the Great Life, or your own representation of the Divine,
and the place your hands on the set of oils, allowing your
fingers to pick one at 'random' – although through Grace we
are asking ourselves to be guided by the Highest authority.
Place several drops under your nose, and allow the aroma to
be taken into you, as if quaffing a favorite drink, – do
the same to the wonderful aroma of the oil chosen.
Oils not only
release their aroma to the air [and to our smell brain] but
also their psychoactive ingredients are absorbed through
the skin, affecting the body subtly and with great
efficacy. They help in reducing stress and creating a
calming, or sometimes, an invigorating state. Oils are
chosen to enhance or support a person in their wellbeing,
as well as for their pharmaceutical properties.
Ad Humanitas has created a set of twelve of the finest
absolutes available. These oils have been chosen for their
pedigree - that is – the evidence of their continual use
over centuries to change consciousness in subtle ways. They
represent the noble aspect of the vegetal kingdom [see
below: The Realms of Being: our vegetal and mammalian
selves], and as such as extremely effective in helping to
shift our feeling state. Wonderful for a variety of
therapeutic modalities, as well as for personal use.

The Realms of Being: our vegetal and mammalian
selves
There is within us
an ordered arrangement of forces
You may ask what do
we mean by 'vegetal' kingdom. Our being exists in a
hierarchy or arrangement of forces. Our physical body,
human in form, houses our being, The physical body armed
with its many faculties or senses [which includes Mind] and
'our inner Self' are developing and growing, and this
epigenesis of consciousness and being is because we contain
the wherewithal to rise vertically into altered states –
awareness, attentiveness, mindfulness and consciousness.
The matter of our physical body contains the energies of
what has gone on before us, as we contain phylogenetically
the remnants, memories, aspects of the DNA / genome of
kingdoms below us. This information is 'carried' within us
through our genome, but also manifests by the differing
frequencies of each kingdom, these are known as the life
forces – they contain the elements and data from all the
other realms, which signal or resonate within us as
memories, and states associated with these lower kingdoms.
This may be why we resonate with
stories from the brothers Grimm [material kingdom], fairy
stories [vegetal or unseen kingdom], fables [animal
kingdom], myths [human kingdom] and odysseys [a noble human
station]. It could be said that a human being is composed
of material, vegetal, animal and human elements and each of
these elements, being matter, are also energies and when
affecting us, become a 'force'. The sum of these elements
within us, when suportive, ordered and congruent, and when
acting as if servants to our nobility, can lead us on our
personal odyssey towards a more noble Self and life.
The vegetal kingdom within us could be referred to as that
which 'provides'. It is our physiology, and is seen in the
largely autonomic functioning of our body, providing
sustenance or nourishment, elimination, cleaning,
temperature and metabolic [e.g. sugar levels in the blood]
control. This part of us, which can also be upgraded to
include the higher senses act to tune us into our internal
and external environments, providing a detailed awareness
of our state, or what is going on external to ourselves.
These senses of ours alert us in every way to danger,
dysfunction, error, fear, collective states of
consciousness and of course our internal milieu.
The vegetal kingdom - is the part of us that acts as if it
were a radio receiver – of resonances and signals. It also
acts as a repository, and gestational arena [holding
feelings and emotions in the chakras or sympathetic plexi]
and can uplift it for us to emote the sensation or emotion
to enable it to transform [amplifies the signal] into
feelings [decodes it] and ultimately provides the
wherewithal for Mind to decipher the original signal
[delivers the message].
It can be seen graphically:
Our mammalian brain ought to
give the instructions for the vegetal system [physiological
response] to do something with the input: that is, sweat,
defecate, urinate, snort, shake and release the pheromone,
signal or data stored. In animals the sympathetic and
parasympathetic mechanism [ANS] – a direct relation to our
chakra system – comes back into balance a minute or so
after flight-fight has occurred: danger passed, another day
lived. The original smell or input is released usually
through snorting – blowing its nose – if the nose was the
entry or portal and the endogenous supply of hormones
elicited by the fear response stops and all [physiology]
settles down, as the animal again grazes, sits, sleeps or
generally hangs out.
However, we humans have a neocortex - the small 2mm thick
rind that encloses the mammalian brain – which often over
rides this 'primitive' whistle blower and hangs onto the
resonance, signal, emotion, feeling etc., and allows the
input – often self generated – to gestate, where the
feeling grows, fills space, occupies what many call the
'chakra' but is, in fact, the neurologically-derived
electromagnetic field from the flow of electrons within the
neural plexus. It is our human self that sabotages the self
ordering and self-cleaning aspect of our system, and holds
onto a charge or force. This in our case, may not be the
smell of a lion, but the pheromone induced memory of some
situation when we were small. To the child a large shadow
is 'what it is', to the adult years later, the shadow is
only the moon highlighting the end of the bed and the
clothes hanging from it. Perhaps that memory was
accompanied by a set of parameters such as the smell of
crisps or crackers, old dirty sheets, and a the particular
odor of fresh grass. The combination of smells that night
become imprinted to recall the nightmare. Only the
nightmare was a one-off, not an absolute signal for danger.
The smell brain holds the charge and we reference it when
ever that similar smell is around, only we do not remember
the dream or shadow save it become 'unknown'.
The use of the right oil, and the right memory extracted,
can change a person's whole outlook on life, particularily
if they have operated off an unknown or known fear for much
of their lives.
