What is AromaGenera?
Using the unique relation between aroma and the limbic system, AromaGenera helps us access the unconscious and subconscious processes and information which influence and direct our daily activities, thoughts, emotions and drives. By truly experiencing each aroma, we can notice the past and present situations, issues or traumas which led to our current reality. Inhaling these aromas with mindful attention creates a bridge between what was, what is and what can be.
Each person has their own unique experiences on this aromatic journey. Physical, emotional, cognitive and spiritual reactions are all possible. Allowing yourself to open up with the aromas can offer answers and insights to many of the questions you are curious about. Allowing yourself this gift of expansion may help release you from behaviours, thoughts and self-imposed restrictions which have created tension, unhappiness or confusion to this point. You are in control of the process – the aroma assists you with your journey. Through aroma, we begin to understand how thoughts, feelings and behaviour influence one another. The ultimate goal is balance with our mind-body-spirit connections.
Who would benefit from an AromaGenera session?
Anyone with a curiosity about where they have been and where they are going may find a journey with aroma helpful. At times when one feels stuck or unsure, the expansiveness possible with AromaGenera may help to see the roadblocks and solutions. Because aroma can help trigger memories and emotions, things long forgotten may suddenly be accessed. This is not necessarily a trigger for only negative or difficult times. With AromaGenera, we may also trigger those moments where we were filled with great joy and bliss, yet somehow forgot them.
Those currently in hypnotherapy must wait until finished with their hypnotherapist before having AromaGenera. Also, those pregnant or breast-feeding should wait to begin sessions.
What can one expect during a session?
Each AromaGenera session builds upon the last, as you work towards balance and understanding. Sessions range from 90 to 120 minutes, depending upon what you experience. While sitting in a comfortable chair, with your eyes closed, the therapist hands you one of nine smelling strips to inhale. Being mindful of the aroma, you notice your reactions to the aroma, beginning with more immediate things and then allow yourself to drift with the smell. The therapist asks you to describe your experiences as you smell each strip, but does not make interpretations. After all smelling strips are done, the therapist will recap your comments and impressions given throughout the session. This is your chance to discuss anything you wish, with the therapist. After all, it is your aromatic journey.
Best results are seen if a series of 6 sessions are done. Afterwards, one or two future sessions may be enough to help you through life transitions or difficult times
