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.
