Anyone know what oils are good for Meditating?

[sk8erboy]

Do any of you know what aromatherapy oils are good for meditating? I'm looking to mediate every day and would like to have a nice oil burning in the background, to help me relax. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Off the top of my head, how about frankincese? Always been popular in a meditative setting...

Hi there.

Frankincense and myrrh is a classic combination for good, focused meditation. Try lavender and neroli if you're a bit stressed and need refreshing. Sandalwood is always good too.

Well done for committing to a regular meditation slot - it'll really make a difference to you!

Love and light,

Sara

I suggest sandalwood oil - http://matchlessgifts.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=317 . Lately I really enjoy meditating with tulasilotus incense. Very peacefull meditations. They are cheap too if you can buy tulasi incense near you. Also I think you would be interested in powder incense which you sprinkle on charcoal burners, also charcoal resins (very ancient way of incense) http://matchlessgifts.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=966 . My favouritesare pure mysoresandalwood, and benzoin of sumatra. I have yet to try more of them.

Juniper has been used as an incense in Tibet and in herbal remedies - it is a good purification oil and can help clear the mind - it clears your energy field and the room you meditate in too, thus enabling a good link with your higher self. Experiment with the oils and don't use one oil for too long try blending some. The woody oils are great, for they ground you as well as reaching up to the heights, try pine, cypress, fir, spruce, sandalwood, amarys, ho-wood - rose wood (provided it is obtained from sustainable sources).

Be careful, with frankinsence, it puts you into a rather deep medative state

Palm rosa
Rose Absolute
Jasmine
Patchoulie
these are all good though rose and jasmine tend to be expensive
