In Closing… “I have found that energy fields come quickly into balance with the use of essential oils… The energy centers (chakras) would open and balance…. whether I diffused the oil, used a spray mist of oils in the room, anointed the client’s skin or simply put oils on my hands and then moved them through the person’s energy biofield. ” Linda Smith, Founder Institute of Spiritual Healing and Aromatherapy, Inc.
