There's no limit to the transformational power of Hypnosis!

Hypnosis is a normal concentrated state of mind, whereby the focus and attention of the subconscious mind is achieved. This concentrated attention of your subconscious mind allows you to maximize your will power and mental strength to overcome problems and undesirable habits.

Hypnosis happens in the alpha state of consciousness. This is the state you enter naturally many times during the day, while daydreaming, for example, or just before falling asleep and immediately after waking.

When you are under hypnosis it will make you feel wonderfully relaxed and confident of success. You will feel your attitude and will power become more positive and focused toward a more healthy self image. Your positive self image will be noticed by everyone as you continue to feel your mental attitude and will power increase. During hypnosis you remain in control at all times; your therapist serves only as a guide. You will not say or do anything that you will not consciously say or do.

Often we find ourselves caught in a cycle of poor choices or facing the same obstacles over and over again. We try to change our behavior, but we still find ourselves drawn to negative patterns, unable to break free of these harmful cycles.

The subconscious mind is a powerful wellspring of past impressions and experiences. Subconscious reactions to past negative experiences can surface in damaging emotional, intellectual, or physical ways such as poor self esteem, guilt, anger or even addiction. These negative patterns can prevent us from reaching our dreams and goals.

Hypnosis can help you not only break these harmful patterns, but release the root causes of these patterns so that you can live your life to the fullest - whole, healthy, happy, and healed.

WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL OIL?

Poetically called the "life force" of a plant, essential oils are very complex. Essential oils are stored in special cells, ducts, or glandular hairs that are distributed among the roots, leaves, bark, stem, and flowers of the plant.

Uplifting, protective, calming, and regenerating essential oils are unique gifts from the plant world. A single oil may contain hundreds of constituents that are molecularly aligned in exactly the right manner to trigger a number of responses in the human body. Very concentrated and very powerful, a drop or two of distilled therapeutic grade essential oil produces quick and significant results.

Essential oils protect the plant from insects and other herbivores, from bacteria, molds, fungi, and other microorganisms, and also helps to heal inflicted wounds. These unique characteristics make essential oils highly beneficial to humankind.

HOW ESSENTIAL OILS WORK

Our senses connect us to the world and allow us to respond to our environment. Essential oils fill our senses and trigger physiological responses in our bodies.

THE SENSES OF SCENT

Fragrance is the substance of memories. One whiff of a childhood aroma can set the memory in motion, bringing back thoughts, faces, and feelings long forgotten. How does this happen? Fragrance consists of volatile molecules that exist in the air. Millions of olfactory receptor cells line the nose. Aroma causes these nerves to fire and send messages to the brain, activating thought and memory. The pituitary gland is also stimulated to release chemical messages that travel via the blood to glands and organs that create physical body responses. Hence, a scent has the power to activate a number of physical and emotional responses. It happens in less than a second!

THE SENSE OF TOUCH

Because of their molecular structures, essential oils are rapidly absorbed when applied to the skin. Silky smooth to the touch, they penetrate the outer layer of skin. It is often possible to smell some oils on the breath shortly after applying them to the body. Upon reaching the dermal layer of skin, essential oils lead to different effects, depending on the type of oil applied.

THE SENSE OF ESSENTIAL OILS

Essential Oils, non-greasy yet soft and soothing, are different from common vegetable oils. The pure essence of a plant oils. Pure essential of a plant, lost in the normal processing of herbs and flowers, is captured in essential oils. Pure essential oils are rapidly absorbed or inhaled, and rush directly to their targets. The quick distribution of essential oils result in a rapid response.

"Fragrance is quickly gaining credibility as a powerful tool in both the medical and scientific communities." Alan R. Hirsch, M.D., Director of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, IL.

Quality - There is a huge difference between oils that merely smell good and therapeutic - grade essential oils. The quality of Auroma's pure and potent essential oils has established credibility with eminent scientists and medical professionals who continue to research and validate the effectiveness of these timeless natural wonders.

Reported effects of essential oils are based on results that occur when using pure, unadulterated products. Do not expect cheap copies that smell similarly to natural plant oils to have the same effects. If you do not experience the results you seek, it is not because the oils do not work, but is more likely due to using an adulterated oil or a chemically created substitute. Auroma produces only therapeutic-grade essential oils.

Therapeutic - Grade Oils Lower Quality Oils

The pure essence of root, leaves, and flowers are carefully distilled from wild or organically grown plants. The results is unadulterated essential oils that exhibit powerful effects on the body and the mind.

The aroma may be mingled with chemical pesticides, fungicides, or fertilizers. Additives may be used to dilute the oil or the scent may result from artificial substances created in the laboratory.

Pure oils obtained from correctly identified plant species offer naturally occurring, therapeutic-grade constituents.

Pure mountain water is used for the distillation process, keeping the oils free of additives. Water for distillation may be treated with chlorine, fluorine, and a list of other chemicals that may mix with the oils.

A proprietary stainless steel distillation process uses low temperatures and pressure to slowly preserve all plant properties and constituents. High pressure, high heat, and metal distilleries react chemically with the oils and damage beneficial constituents. This process provides authentic, pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils.
