Posted in Aromatherapy, tagged Aromatherapy, botanical, chemistry, confusion, essential oil, ravensara on July 21, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I wrote in an earlier post about an essential oil I picked up: Ravintsara (cinnamomum camphora). I couldn’t really get this oil out of my head so I have been doing some research. As usual there is plenty of misunderstandings between different oils, popular names, botanical names and the chemical properties. What continues to confuse [...]

I read somewhere; “I don’t stop smoking ’cause I am not a quitter”. I found that really funny and slightly applicable to myself. How many times did I quit?

Being present or being in the now, is something I have been working on for very long, and it is really not that easy. We think we are present most of the time, but we actually hardly ever are. As I already mentioned in another posting; we judge everything based on something we already know, [...]

We need to take a look at how and what we are eating. So many people are overweight and obese, have problems with; concentration, sleep, hormones, digestion, emotions…the list goes on forever.

Thank you people for such nice feed-back on my post yesterday, I was – again – reminded of the rewards that come when I step past my comfort zone. I received quite a few comments, ideas and questions that led me to believe that there is a great need for communication out there. So last [...]
