Using Essential Oils To Enhance Your Psychic Awareness

Essential oils have many esoteric uses beyond traditional aromatherapy. In fact, many experienced spiritual seekers use essential oils in their daily practices. But what is less well known is that these magical oils can also be used to enhance intuition and promote psychic awareness.

Aromatic substances also help increase focus and clarity during meditation, divination, energy healing, and psychic reading. By engaging the sense of smell, you can more effectively anchor your awareness in the present moment, reduce distractions, and promote a state of mindfulness or psychic attunement to open your channels of intuition. I also feel more attuned to subtle energies and spirit presences when I use aromatherapy in my psychic work.

Essential oils are a wonderful spiritual tool that promote relaxation, mental clarity and emotional balance, which in turn creates a conducive environment for exploring your intuition and inner awareness.

Smell is closely linked to the limbic system in the brain, which is associated with emotions, memories, and instinctual responses. When we encounter a particular scent, it can evoke strong emotional or subconscious reactions. In spiritual practices, certain scents can trigger deep-seated feelings or associations, helping to create a particular mental or emotional state conducive to psychic experiences.

Overall, the power of scent and aroma in spiritual and esoteric practices is multifaceted, involving a combination of sensory, psychological, cultural, and symbolic factors. Aromas serve as powerful tools for creating sacred spaces, enhancing psychic experiences, and facilitating inner transformation through their profound influence on the mind, body, and spirit.

The Concept Of Psychic Aromatics

Psychic Aromatics, also known as Aromatic Psychic Transmission (APT), is a term used to describe the use of aromatic substances (such as essential oils or incense) to enhance psychic or spiritual experiences. The practice involves using specific scents to stimulate psychic awareness, induce an altered mental state, and facilitate meditative focus and mindfulness.

The concept is based on the fact that certain aromas can have a profound effect on the mind and spirit, influencing emotions, consciousness, and spiritual states. Aromatic substances can therefore serve as conduits or catalysts for psychic energy, helping you connect with your intuition, enhance your psychic abilities, and even access altered states of consciousness.

Aromatics has played an important role in the spiritual and mystical traditions of many cultures throughout history. For example, it was a key element in the ceremonies of the Oracle of Delphi at the Temple of Apollo in ancient Greece. The Oracle, also known as the Pythia, was a psychic priestess at the temple who channeled prophetic messages that were highly influential in the ancient world.

The name Pythia was actually derived from Pytho, which in myth was the original name of Delphi. Etymologically, the Greeks derived this place name from the verb púthein, which refers to the sickly sweet smell of the decomposing body of the monstrous Python that was slain by the god Apollo.

Before delivering her prophecies, the Pythia would undergo purification rituals that included the use of aromatic smoke or incense. Purification was essential to prepare the oracle to connect with the divine and channel her messages clearly and powerfully. Some scholars also propose that the smoke from the burning of laurel leaves and barley in the temple may have had a psychoactive effect that contributed to an altered state of consciousness to facilitate the Pythia’s trance during which she delivered her prophecies.

For several years now, I have been using natural oil extracts mixed with water to sprinkle throughout my healing room, reading room, and living areas of my home. I find that it enhances my clarity and mental state to be more receptive and focused in my work.

I use different combinations of scents depending on what benefits I am seeking at the time. Using jojoba oil, coconut oil, hemp oil, or just water as a base and adding the oils of my choice, I have also created everything from body lotion and after-sun moisturizer to bath salts, balms, insect repellent, massage oil, and room spray. I also use an infuser, but I find that the scents from an infuser do not last very long.

Essential Oils For Psychic Awareness

Choosing essential oils for divination, intuitive development and psychic work is a very personal and subjective process, as different scents resonate with different people in unique individual ways. To find the best oils for you, you can start by experimenting with some of the following essential oils commonly associated with enhancing these practices.

Clary Sage: Known as the “oil of vision,” clary sage is said to lift the veil to the third eye, opening channels for clairvoyance and seeing through intuitive knowing. It also brings clarity, discrimination and expansion to the brow chakra. Clary sage is often used to stimulate intuition and enhance dream work. Clary sage’s herbaceous scent also brings a sense of calm and inner peace, making it a valuable companion for divination and intuitive exploration.

Frankincense: Frankincense has a long history of use in spiritual and religious ceremonies because this oil strengthens our connection to spirit and the divine. ts rich, resinous aroma is grounding and uplifting, making it ideal for enhancing psychic experiences. It also helps break down walls created by past emotional pain and allows light to enter. Known as the “oil of truth,” it invites enlightenment, spiritual protection from negative energy, and restores your soul’s connection to your higher power.

Lavender: Lavender is known for its soothing, calming, and balancing effects on the mind and emotions. It promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and clears mental clutter, which is essential for divination and psychic work. Lavender’s gentle floral aroma is soothing and uplifting, helping to open the mind and enhance intuitive insight. Lavender also helps reduce anxiety and stress, which can interfere with intuition.

Patchouli: Patchouli is associated with grounding and spiritual balance. Its earthy, musky aroma is believed to anchor the spirit and stimulate inner knowing. Patchouli can deepen meditation, increase psychic receptivity, and promote a sense of spiritual connection. It is often used to foster a deeper understanding of oneself and the universe.

Roman Chamomile: This oil guides the individual to their true purpose in life. It calms the mind and allows the soul to speak through inner knowing. Roman Chamomile is also a powerful energy cleansing oil that protects against psychic attacks and can deepen the divine connection when used in meditation.

Rose: Rose essential oil heals the heart, activates our empathic awareness to give and receive love and compassion, and raises the energetic frequency of the heart chakra, which is our inner bridge between the physical and spiritual realms. As the “oil of divine love,” it attracts compassion, empathy, and love.

Sandalwood: Sandalwood is known for its calming and centering properties. It is often used to quiet the mind, increase focus, and deepen meditation. Sandalwood’s woody, earthy scent is believed to facilitate spiritual growth, intuition, and receptivity to higher realms of consciousness. It can promote inner reflection and introspection, and aid in the development of psychic abilities.

When using essential oils for divination, intuitive and psychic development, consider your personal preferences and how each scent resonates with you individually. You can experiment with individual oils or create your own blends based on your intuition and desired intentions.

Remember to use high quality, pure essential oils and to dilute them appropriately for topical use. Incorporate these oils into your spiritual practices such as meditation, visualization, divination, and channeling to support your journey of inner exploration and spiritual growth.

It’s important to remember that essential oils should never be ingested. They can be diffused in the air, diluted and applied topically, or added to bath water. Always consult a healthcare professional before using essential oils, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or have any chronic or underlying health conditions.

Essential Oil Spritzer For Intuitive Clarity

Everyone has intuition and the ability to see or feel beyond the five senses, but sometimes the clarity of our extrasensory perception is blocked by outside forces such as pollution and technology. Sometimes it is blocked by all the clutter of the mind that many people carry around with them.

When this happens to me, I mix up a batch of spritzers in a small bottle that simply contains about four ounces of distilled or purified water and three drops of each of the following: patchouli oil, lavender oil, eucalyptus oil. If I want a sweeter scent, I add three drops of pure rose oil.

Make sure your spritzer is in a dark bottle and shake it well. Essential oils should never be used in a clear bottle or exposed to sunlight, as they are sensitive to ultraviolet light and extreme heat.

If you were to spray this mixture right away, the smell would be fine. However, if you let it sit and infuse and allow the scents to mingle, the scent will be amazing. Shake it often while it is sitting. It will take about an hour for the scents to properly infuse and then you are ready.

Spray a little around the chair you will be sitting in and a little above your head. Do not worry, it will not harm you if it gets on your skin. Inhale the scent you have created. Sit in your chair, take out a pen and paper and place them in your lap. Again, spray over your head. Then close your eyes and breathe in the clarity and breathe out the clutter. Do this for a few minutes.

Next, ask a question that you would like your guides or angels to answer as you continue to breathe in clarity and exhale clutter. When you feel comfortable stopping, open your eyes and write the first thing that comes to mind. Do not think about what you are writing, just write. Do not worry if the answer does not come, because sometimes the clutter is heavier than the clarity. However, if you practice this, you will soon get the exact answer to your question.

Essential oils can greatly enhance your sixth sense. When you are clogged, when your mind is cluttered with negative self-talk, use this simple spritzer recipe and just breathe. It opens the mind to another dimension.
