Flowers of Wisdom: Aromatic Meditations
City Yoga, Los Angeles
Flowers of Wisdom presents a series of powerful healing meditations
based on Tibetan, Ayurvedic, and Chinese medicine, combined with the
use of pure and potent essential oils. Through focused inward
contemplation we will study and examine the functioning of each major
organ system as described by traditional medicine, and use specific
fragrances to increase its vitality and immunity. By using spiritually
uplifting fragrances, we will practice deepening meditative states,
increasing and stabilizing concentration, and developing compassion.
During meditations we will use only highest-quality essential oils and
attars in numerous ways: direct inhalation, application to acupuncture
and marma points, atmospheric diffusing, compresses and poultices, and
burning on coals.
