Here is an excerpt from the course

Overview Of The Olfactory System

As we just mentioned, the nose is a part of the respiratory system which brings oxygen into the lungs to be processed through the body system. As you are well aware the nose is also responsible for our sense of smell. Our sense of smell is one of our finest senses, even more so than taste and touch.

Smell is the strongest link to the subconscious mind and we retain memories associated with smells for very long periods of time. It is said, that our bodies can process between 10,000 to 100,000 different smells and remember them. It is very similar to a lock and key. When we first smell something it gets locked into our brain and then when we happen to smell that scent again it triggers the memory. How many times have you found yourself saying, "Hey, do you know what that smell reminds me of?"

Scent is captured from the air around us and passed through the filter of the cilia in our noses. Our nasal cavities have thousands of olfactory nerve cells that carry scent directly to the Olfactory bulb which is located at the back of our nose. It has nerve endings that send messages directly to the brain. This is the only place where our central nervous system is directly exposed to the environment. That is why inhalation directly affects the central nervous system.

The Olfaction response bypasses the Neo-cortex or conscious brain and goes directly to the limbic system of the brain. The limbic system houses all of our sensory experiences such as memories, emotions, sex drive, hunger, pleasure, instincts etc. It is the center of all of our emotions and therefore affects our emotional behavior. ...

Five Elements of Life

Find your creative expression/balance your life/do an emotional clearing/take aligned action to get projects into form/create greater abundance.

Earth: Connected to the North, Earth is considered the ultimate feminine element. The Earth is fertile and stable, associated with the Goddess. The planet itself is a ball of life, and as the Wheel of the Year turns, we can watch all the aspects of life take place in the Earth: birth, life, death, and finally rebirth. The Earth is nurturing and stable, solid and firm, full of endurance and strength. In color correspondences, both green and brown connect to the Earth, for fairly obvious reasons!

Air: Air is the element of the West, connected to the soul and the breath of life. If you’re doing a working related to communication, wisdom or the powers of the mind, Air is the element to focus on. Air carries away your troubles, blows away strife, and carries positive thoughts to those who are far away.

Fire: Fire is a purifying, masculine energy, associated with the East, and connected to movement and action. Fire both creates and destroys and Fire can heal or harm, and can bring about new life or destroy the old and worn. For color correspondences, use red and orange for Fire associations.

Water: Water is a feminine energy and highly connected with the emotional realm. Used for healing, cleansing, and purification, Water is related to the South, and associated with passion and emotion. In many spiritual paths, consecrated Water can be found, and usually a blessing or invocation is said above it.  As you may expect, water is associated with the color blue.

Spirit: Spirit flows through and connects all the elements of Earth, Water, Air, and Fire.  As it moves into form through all life and every living thing, it expresses itself in unique ways depending on the substance it flows through.

The profound power of elemental wisdom provides an organic model for personal and professional success. Activate your capacity to create your desires by connecting, activating, and engaging the elements of Nature.

Build the vibrant foundation needed to grow your business. Strengthen your interpersonal relationships in your personal and professional capacities. Discover what you – and those in your life – need to realize their potentials.

Aromatherapy literally means, "healing through the senses"

Aromatherapy is the use of pure essential oils to enhance physical or mental well being. Essential oils are distilled plant essences that may be used to make ourselves feel better. Aromatherapy is the process of diffusing pure essential oils, and thus plant essences, which then is absorbed through inhalation and our sense of smell.

Smell affects our perceptions and how we react physically, emotionally, and mentally to our surroundings. Various every day scents remind us of the seasons of the year, our location or situation, potential dangers or happy occasions. Essential oils may effect the physical, mental and emotional aspect of our lives. Inhalation of essential oils may also effect the release of brain chemicals such as seratonin. Other essential oils have healing qualities when applied topically.


The limbic system is connected to areas of the brain linked to memory, breathing, and blood circulation, as well as the endocrine glands which regulate hormone levels in the body. The properties of the oil, the fragrance and its effects, determine stimulation of these systems. When used in massage, essential oils are not only inhaled, but absorbed through the skin as well. They penetrate the tissues and find their way into the bloodstream where they are transported to the organs and systems of the body.

Essential oils are the pure and concentrated energies held within the plants cells.  These aromatic cells are located in specific parts of the plants.  For Sandalwood, for example, the aromatic cells are in the bar.  For Rose, they are found in the petals.  For Orange, the peel, etc.  Various organs of the plant itself either produce and/or store the essence.  What we call oil cells or hair cells are living cells in which the essence is found.  Oil or resin ducts are spaces within the plant tissue that hold the essence.  Through the regression of bordering cells, the space becomes enlarged and hose-like (essential oils from seeds, resinous trees such as Spruce, etc.).  Oil containers exist when the cell walls of the oil-producing cells dissolve, as in the citrus family.  There is not one part of the plant that does not produce or store the essence.  Sometimes the same plant can hold different essences.  The perfect example of this phenomenon is the orange tree.  Orange essntial oil is derived from the fruit, Petitgrain is extracted from the leaves, and Neroli from the blossom.  They all offer very different characteristics and healing properties.
