Hello Everyone,

Theoretically, this being the holiday season, people should be turning more of their attention toward divine reality while decreasing their preoccupation with the self-conscious personal self. Of course, if anything, the holiday season has metamorphosed into a grotesque magnification of this preoccupation.

If we operate from the premise that the human soul is a spark of divine light, we cannot help but agree with the famous 12th century Catholic monk Bernard of Clairvaux when he states: “In those respects in which the soul is unlike God, it is also unlike itself.” In a similar vein, the ancient Chinese philosopher Sen T’sen observed: “When the Ten Thousand things are viewed in their oneness, we return to the Origin and remain where we have always been.”

Unfortunately, the frenzied materialistic craving associated with the Ten Thousand things, which has come to characterize the modern Christmas celebration, serves to highlight the basic conflict of all those who are spiritually conscious: the simultaneous yearning for higher light and attachment to that which shadows that light.

I created Spiritual PhytoEssencing (a soul-level healing art which employs highly individualized combinations of essential oils) to help spiritually conscious individuals overcome the state of psycho-spiritual stasis that follows from enmeshment within the workings of those lower precincts of the soul that sustain the survival personality as well as the primal drives and instincts of our animal nature.

Every living cell must be animated by a vital force, or “ensouled,” and it is this incarnation of higher forces into living tissue that lends each organism its tangible expression. Hence, when using essential oils for psycho-spiritual work, all of the physical features, clinical properties and historical associations, etc. of the plant can be used to develop an understanding of its spiritual roots.

The central reference text in Spiritual PhytoEssencing is Berkowsky’s Synthesis Materia Medica/Spiritualis of Essential Oils, which contains 120+ chapters and each is 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 action with a diverse variety of synchronicities. The blender relies upon this reference work (as well as the Spiritual PhytoEssencing Repertory of Essential Oils and Berkowsky’s Six Element Paradigm Workbook) to determine which oils are most relevant in the construction of a particular portrait in oils.

When one has an understanding of the soul nature of a particular oil, then that oil can be used with far greater specificity regarding resonance with the unique inner pole of each person’s self-structure referred to as the real self.

I began developing the art of Spiritual PhytoEssencing (SPE) in the 1990′s. SPE (deep psychospiritual work with customized essential oil blends and gemstone essences) is actually the psychospiritual counterpart of my Natural Health Science System. Ideally, the two systems are used in concert. They are completely interactive and I often integrate the techniques of both systems to create powerful therapeutic protocols.

Additionally, I use invaluable supportive technologies as needed, including molecular hydrogen inhalation, pulsed electromagnetic fields therapies, light and color therapeutics. 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.

Please feel free to write to me if you have any questions. I hope you enjoy reading the articles in this newsletter and find the information beneficial in finding happiness while improving your practice and skills.

Shalom,

Dr. Bruce

The Art of the Blend Part I: Creating a Customized Blend for Deep Soul-Level Healing

Spiritual PhytoEssencing features the use of two types of essential oil blends: constitutional and situational. The constitutional blend is referred to as the "custom blend," because it is customized to reflect the unique inner soul nature of one particular individual. This is Part 1 of a series of articles I'm presenting regarding the art of preparing essential oil blends for the purpose of deep soul-level healing, which is devoted to the rationale underlying the customized constitutional blend and the methodology used to create them.
