Hello Everyone,
I designed the art of Spiritual PhytoEssencing (SPE) to help an individual overcome the separation from one’s higher self that lies at the core of emotional and physical disharmony.
Anthroposophical science teaches that plants produce fragrance as a means of absorbing “the soul” of the sun which contains the essence of spirit. Fragrance formation represents an interaction between terrestrial and cosmic forces, and it’s used by the plant as a means of uniting with the spiritual essence contained within sunbeams.
The central reference text in Spiritual PhytoEssencing is Berkowsky’s Synthesis Materia Medica/Spiritualis of Essential Oils, which contains 120+ chapters, each devoted to the elaboration of the inner soul-nature of a specific essential oil. This process of elaboration involves the interweaving of information regarding plant characteristics, habitat, historical and folkloric associations, and therapeutic actions with a diverse variety of associated synchronicities.
Berkowsky’s Materia Medica/Spiritualis of Essential Oils
The other important resource to learn and practice SPE is Spiritual PhytoEssencing Repertory of Essential Oils – a reference guide arranged as over 2500 rubrics that lists relevant essential oils under the headings of various constitutional archetypes and qualities, reactional tendencies, mental, emotional and physical symptoms, dreams and more.
SPE is an art that employs essential oils for deep psycho-spiritual healing. One of its basic tenets is that in order for healing work with essential oils to be consistently effective and life changing, direct interface with an individual’s innermost realm—the soul, must be achieved.
As someone’s unique archetypal construct represents the actual fabric of his or her inner core nature, the starting point for developing a customized, soul-healing essential oil blend for someone is to identify the central archetypal disturbances that underlie the outwardly expressed archetypal images (e.g., symptoms such as anxiety, depression, discouragement, disease patterns, etc.) of his or her core disharmony and conflict.
Focusing exclusively upon the amelioration of symptoms (i.e., the archetypal images), while often providing a degree of relief, exerts no lasting impression upon the dynamics of the underlying, disharmonious archetypal state that constitutes the central disturbance in most cases of chronic disease and/or discontentment.
The only way to achieve fundamental transformation on a true-self level is via direct engagement of the archetypal components associated with the person’s inner soul nature and the origins of his or her self-structure.
Once you have good understanding of both – the individualized inner natures of various essential oils and the use of the Repertory, it is be possible to start creating deep-acting, customized blends that engage with the psyche on a core level. Even if you don’t have the time to make essential oil blends at home, the information in these eBooks will help you understand how to work with essential oils using the SPE method.
Essential Oil Blending for Chakra Healing
The soul is the repository of archetypal forms, which, though non-material in and of themselves, give rise to and sustain all of the organism’s tangible mental and physical manifestations. A chakra can be viewed as being a type of archetypal form.
Once one identifies which chakras are more influential than others in a person’s mental and physical nature, then oils whose pattern of chakra affinities have a high degree of congruence with that person’s pattern can be selected for inclusion in a personalized blend that encourages soul-level healing. In this way, the blend will serve as a mirrored reflection of an important aspect of that soul’s archetypal make-up.
Information on chakra affinities are presented in my Six Elements and Chakras Workbook. I have also developed a blend called the Master Chakra Blend, to help harmonize all one’s chakras.
If you really want to gain access to the inner realm of the essential oils and, in the process, move forward to full presence of being, I suggest you take advantage of the NHSS/SPE Membership Program to do so in the comfort of your own home.
The program also integrates my Natural Health Science System (NHSS). NHSS consists of a synthesis of all the components of my practice and my lifestyle over the course of 50 years. Although retired now from naturopathic practice, the following components still serve as the paving stones for the pathway of my daily existence:
the basic principles of healthful, all-natural diet,
strategic nutritional supplementation,
herbal medicine,
cell salts, homeopathy,
Vital-Chi Skin-Brushing,
hydrotherapies, healthful sunbathing,
stretching exercises, chi kung (qigong) exercise, deep breathing exercises,
acupoint therapy
and other forms of self-directed therapeutic bodywork.
Additionally, I use invaluable supportive technologies as needed, including molecular hydrogen inhalation, pulsed electromagnetic fields therapies, laser acupuncture and other technologies.
My basic premise in teaching the NHSS has always been that each person should have the knowledge and skills to preserve good health and to be a skillful healer within one’s own home.
I need to emphasize that this program is not designed exclusively for professional practitioners of the healing arts. For the last 36 years, my goal has always been to provide guidance regarding the basics of self-healing on both physical and psycho-spiritual levels. I feel this is a crucial factor in taking control of one’s life. Even if you only use the knowledge and skills you will learn in my classes for self-healing or helping your friends and family, you are just as important to me as a teacher who uses those skills effectively in a professional practice.
I hope you find our content beneficial in your journey toward wholeness of being. As always, please feel free to write to me if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!
With gratitude,
Bruce
