Therapy Of Aroma

Why the burning of incense was done for so long
Is because of its healing and clearing effects.
May cultures use it as a tool to evoke
God’s support for the meditative state. The smoke,
As it fills the room, changes physical aspects
Of the space for the better. It need not be strong.

Used by many a culture for thousands of years,
Herbs and resins were precious known commodities.
They can kill some bacteria and help the ill
To recover more quickly than taking a pill.
They are made for the indoors where there is no breeze.
Funky air is untidy, and incense it clears.

There are energy structures within every space
Created by the space itself. They can affect
The psychology in terms of feeling and mood.
All depends, in the moment, on how things are viewed,
And these things are to always be given respect.
Negative energy structures one can displace.

From old trees in the forests in enchanted lands
Come the purest of resins – not chemically
Can a product be worthy of doing its job.
If it’s not made by nature, one’s health it may rob.
Indoors made into outdoors is done easily.
This is offered in hope that your knowledge expands.

Salvation By Aroma

“It’s the Atmosphere, stupid!” Who speaks in this way
But political talking heads seen on TV?
Insulting one’s intelligence ain’t very nice.
But the gurus of India wouldn’t think twice
About teaching the ignorant how they should be.
But to heck with my ego. I’ll hear what they say.

Spaces indoors are filled with a blending of smells
Within energy structures that have an effect
On spiritual processes undertaken.
They may impede the method used to awaken.
When the air’s a bit funky, with all do respect,
Then proper ventilation refreshment compels.

Both the shape and size of the room are important.
That’s one whole other topic not right for right now.
Every detail has meaning for those so consumed
In the perfection of a room that is perfumed
With a powerful essence which will more allow
Meditation to go well. Who’d say that it can’t?

Replicating the outside and natural air
Filled with fragrance organic is what is achieved
By the use of fine incense or essential oils.
That which is not of nature essentially spoils
Atmospheric integrity… so unperceived.
Incense lifts up the spirit and sanctifies prayer.
