Fragrances, with their intriguing ability to evoke emotions, memories, and visions, have played an important role in the world’s spiritual traditions since the dawn of time. Drawn from the essential oils of plants, they serve as an earthly connection with the Divine. In her fascinating book, renowned aromatherapist Valerie Ann Worwood breaks new ground with an in-depth study of the use of fragrance in spirituality. Drawing on the pioneering research of eminent scientists and the insights of leading spiritual teachers, she provides exhaustive guidelines detailing how fragrance can be used in many spiritual practices, from Shinto and Buddhism to Native American rites. Extensive charts, exercises, and formulas demonstrate the use of aroma in healing, prayer, and meditation and in conjunction with vibrational and energetic healing. Covering more than 70 essential oils, this extraordinary guide helps readers call upon the divine power of fragrance to enrich their own spiritual journeys. Review: The Best Aromayherapy Set of Books - I love this book. i"m receiving this book as is. It came to me with a tear in the front cover. Thank you so very much for taking care of the cause of this. i have almost all of her books on aromatherapy. this book will complete what I am in need of. Review: Excellent! - This book is going in my favorites list. Excellent! There are many Biblical references in here so if you are “offended” by the Bible or religious texts you may want to avoid this book. However, there’s no denying that ancient texts have referred to oils for various uses for millennium. I find it to be well researched and with some fascinating information in it. The bibliography alone is so worthwhile to peruse for resources for more reading. There is a wealth of information on energy fields and the effects of thought and EO’s on them. I think Valerie Ann Worwood is an absolute master of aromatherapy and an excellent writer also. I highly recommend this book.

A bit out there
A little too out there for me. Not my cup of tea, but somebody else might like it. I still gave it 5 stars for what it is… just not for me.

Kindle Review - 5* for the book - 2* for Kindle
I simply love this book. I bought the book in a paperback version and have it tabbed, highlighted, and dog-eared. Being a touchy-feely massage therapist and lay chaplain, I have used this book with great success. Aromatherapy for the Soul has become a personal and professional favorite of mine that I will use for a long time to come. Five stars for the book because it is the first of its kind in one binding. I give Kindle 2 stars. There is simply so much more that Kindle can be doing to make reading for purpose and research or reference better. I do not want to highlight and forward a passage to Facebook or Twitter; I want to copy and paste onto a research paper! I want chapter side tabs that I can turn to at any time. I want to be able to completely mark up a Kindle book as if I were annotating a paper bound. I want more features to use for references, plain and simple. Join Kindle with iAnnotate, Dropbox, Evernote, or some other free productivity to reference. I rarely pleasure read find Kindle versions of books and texts to be sorely wanting.

Translates beautifully to Kindle format
Translates beautifully to Kindle format. Delicious history of aromatherapy oils, techniques, source and use origins from ancient into present spiritual contexts [Kabbalah, Vedic, Christian], with excellent botanical, geographic and cultural traditions [Islam, Japan, Native American and much more]. Inspiring, sensually written and easeful integration of fragrance as energy medicine combined with other vibrational tools including color and gem stone traditions.

Excellent book! I'm so tired of being 'preached to' by superficial people who want you to carry their cross for them instead of learning to live in God's love for themselves and be independent. The author has an enlightened soul that is so refreshing, a gentle healing spirit that guides and doesn't enslave. I wish I knew more people with such manners!!!!!

Useful Tool
Great book. I needed it for a class and really like the way it goes into depth and the charts are wonderful. I had mine wire bound and added a plastic cover at Staples as I anticipate great use.

Disappointed by the publisher
This book is an incredible fountain of wisdom by Valerie and yet the publisher decided to put black and white photos of images that have no explanation of the difference between the pictures. A friend of mine had the same book with beautiful coloured photos, which to my disappointment aren’t to be found in the copy I received.

Divine connexion
Dans un livre fascinant, la fameuse aromathérapeute anglaise Valerie Ann Worwood,nous parle des fragrances, tirées des huiles essentielles des plantes, qui nous servent de connexion terrestre avec le divin. Depuis l'aube de l'humanité, elles ont joué un rôle important dans le monde spirituel avec leur intrigant pouvoir d'évoquer émotions, mémoires et visions. Elle marque un tournant dans l'Aromathérapie, avec une étude approfondi de l'emploi des huiles essentielles dans la spiritualité. Through Time into Healing Practice Of Aromatherapy Le Livre des Parfums Elle prend inspiration d'éminents scientifiques et maîtres spirituels pour nous fournir un guide exhaustif ,décrivant quelles fragrances peuvent être utilisées dans les pratiques spirituelles, depuis le Shinto et le Bouddhisme,jusqu'aux rites natifs américains. AROMATHERAPY Un guide érudit et plaisant, écrit dans un langage simple avec un riche contenu. Longues grilles, formules et exercices, permettent au lecteur, d'employer l'aromathérapie, en guérison,prière, méditation ,guérison vibratoire ou énergétique. Plus de 70 huiles essentielles sont passées au crible sur presque 100 pages,dans ce guide extraordinaire qui aide le lecteur à enrichir son propre voyage spirituel. Elle ne fait pas le lien avec la Médecine Traditionnelle Chinoise, mais nous présente des planches du corps face et dos et les différents muscles ou se logent les émotions:plus facile et original:stress et anxiété sur les mollets, stress sur les côtés de la tête,tristesse et regrets sur le haut de la poitrine,l'insécurité sur les bras et le côté des lombaires, et ainsi de suite. Elle conseille l'emploi de l'Aromathérapie avec utilisation des sons, couleurs, musique,etc. Dans ma pratique en cabinet, j'emploie les arômes, musique, sons, mais je ne le faisait pas en pratique personnelle, jusqu'à la lecture de ce livre. En lisant VAW j'ai appris que pour l'intronisation d'Elisabeth d'Angleterre, on a employé un mélange d'huiles de néroli, rose, cannelle,jasmin, benjoin ,musc, civet,ambre gris dans de l'huile de sésame,et une cuillère en or fabriquée en 1200...!! The Fragrant Mind: Aromatherapy for Personality, Mind, Mood and Emotion The Fragrant Heavens Un livre au savoir encyclopédique qui peut enrichir la pratique de tout aromathérapeute ou aspirant.

Beware this is The Fragrant Heavens, republished under a new title.
If the author reads this, then I apologise to her in advance for the one star rating. Blame the publishers, not the author. I ordered this book, believing it to be one new to me but when it arrived today, it turns out to be The Fragrant Heavens, republished. It states this on the cover; however, though this does appear on the thumbnail picture shown on the page here, the writing is far too small to read. Nowhere in the blurb does it mention that it is an existing book republished under another title (I assume for the American market as they seem to have very different requirements for book titles such as the first Harry Potter being retitled removing the word Philosopher's and replacing it with Sorcerer's) The original book The Fragrant Heavens is a treasured and well-thumbed book in my collection.
