My copy of The Natural Approach to Essential Oils: Updated and Revised by Certified Aromatherapist and Maveric Jane Lawson just arrived today. Just waiting for my copy of Poisons to arrive. Already started to read this gem.

For the last 30+ years I have been passing on to my students how to dowse for Essential Oils for themselves, family and especially their clients. Learning how to dowse for Essential Oils opened up my Clinical knowledge of the Essential Oils and I learnt so much more about them and how they interact and benefit us on a much deeper vibrational level. I really got to know each of the individual oils personalities and still learn to this day. This has made my treatments of clients far more accurate than just based on their chemistry alone. Many more people have been in touch saying that they would also like to learn for home use. This class is suitable for Aromatherapists and the lay person. #1. You will need a dowser/pendulum, of course. You will also need around 10 Essential Oils ranging across the citrus/fruit, flowers, trees/woods, herbs and resins/grasses groups. #2. You will be interacting live via zoom (you will be sent a link to my online classroom) with myself and other students who attend. During class you will be asked to focus on one personal emotional, mental, relationship, physical or a dream you wish to manifest, to dowse for your oils. #3. You will receive a handout which will cover the 'script' that you need to follow when dowsing, and written information on how dowsing for Essential Oils works etc. So, there will be no need for you to make notes during class, except perhaps making notes why the oils selected apply to you. I will send this to you via messenger or email, about a day before class starts so you can familiarise yourself with the theory. #4 The class will start at 7pm GMT on Wednesday 20th May live on zoom, and is scheduled for 2 hours, but if we need to run over then we will. So, how do you go about registering and paying for this online course? You can pay the £120/$160 cost of the workshop via PayPal using angelchemuel@aol.com noting your payment is for this class in the comments box. Or you can contact me direct via chat if you would rather pay by BACS and register your place that way. Or you can register via Classroom here: https://www.skool.com/maverick-aromatherapy-3200/classroom

Next class Monday 18th May, 7pm GMT live on zoom. Cost to peeps here £40. Contact me to register. I'm aiming to have a body ( @Sharon Banfield would you be up for coming to mine for this class please?) to demonstrate, what some have described as "amazing shit"! From Plant Healer Magazine. "Truth is, we really have no idea exactly how plant medicine works from/within person to person. A plant will work in 10,000 different ways for 10,000 different people. We do know that specific plants have an affinity for healing various specific conditions. And, we also know from many ancestral and indigenous practitioners that there's a way to work with non-physical plant parts to heal - the opposite of a physical, constituent-driven model. " Julie Caldwell And this applies to EO's too. When we wear our 'Therapist Hat' we know what should fix what's broke, based on the chemical composition of that oil. However, how many times as a therapist have we seen a particular blend work really well on one person's stiff neck, but not so well and sometimes not at all on another? I ask you to consider the underlying emotional trigger. This can be nigh on impossible to do in some cases. I wear two hats, my Clinical one, and what some folk might call my 'witch' one. When I don my 'witch' hat, I dowse and use Kinesiology to sort out the most appropriate oils. I have been doing this for the past 35 years, and it has never let me or my clients down. The change in a client is almost immediate, and by using these techniques I have learnt more about EO's and their 'deeper than science lab' properties. I will give you an example. Ten years ago (2016), I had a young lady come to me as she had been suffering night terrors for the previous 3 years. My heart was wrenched when I heard an audio recording of her screams. After the client consultation (the Dr had her on medication) I had in my 'clinical' head what should be used. I donned my 'witch' hat and out came 3 wholly different oils, which made more sense than the 'clinical' ones. We proceeded with the treatment (which included Metamorphosis Therapy). I was hoping that her terrors would at least reduce to just nightmares. She used the same oils in a sniffy stick morning and evening. She returned a fortnight later for her follow up, and had not had a single night terror since her initial appointment, result! We then proceeded to dealing with her underlying anxiety, and each week she took huge steps forward.

I appreciate several of my courses can involve hands on training. A couple of these can be done over zoom. Also, several more require me to send out things like nasal inhalers/sniffy sticks as part of your course material. I do have a personal gripe that Classroom is set up in such a way that you are left to your own devices with no direct interaction with myself, (for example homeworks), to move you to the next module. Instead, you complete a module and "tick the box", with no direct interaction with myself. Hence the reason I set up the "Classes" tab to work round this. But there seems to be a lack of interest in courses and classes I offer. So, I have to question whether I am "over target" with why you are here and what you want and your expectations. 1. Are you here because it is in part like a Facebook "group" where you can read posts and like and comment, but that's it? 2. What would you like to see that you would engage with more other than a tick and the odd comment? 3. Do you engage to gain "points" so you can access the "rewards" in classroom? If not, why not? 4. What is it you would like to see when you come to our wee tribe? Please comment below or send me a message via chat.
