Welcome to all of our newest members

[Guest guest]

Hi guys,

I'd like to extend a big welcome to all of our newest members. I'm

so glad you found us. :-)

Whether you're new or not please think about taking a moment to post

a message introducing yourself to everyone and your interest in

aromatherapy.

Here's a little about me for those of you I haven't met yet.

 

I first got into aromatherapy and essential oils almost 10 years ago

when my mom gave me a little AT decoder wheel and a kit with 3 oils.

She had no idea what she was starting. I then quickly found Vanessa

and the fledgling Aromatherapy for Everyone club on . After

bugging her daily she made me a list mom. Within a short time our

group quickly grew. By the time the group was mistakenly removed (a

long painful story) in June 2007 we had grown to 1000+ members.

 

I've met many many group friends from all over the world at

conferences and aromatherapy meetups. I've enjoyed all of them,

especially a trip to Serbia where I met with researchers, doctors, and

even distillers.

 

I completed AT certification through the Australasian College of

Herbal Studies (now the college of Health Sciences!) in 2002, then

enrolled in Martin's wonderful course in 2004. He dropped me real soon

afterward for being a goof and not paying attention to my studies.

Thankfully he tolerates my nonsense. [For those of you playing along

at home: I am starting the course all over again. Wish me luck!]

 

I'm best known for sharing aromalamp blends I create on an almost

daily basis. My 'thing' is blending for atmosphere, including the

music I'm listening to and the time of the day and year. I'm also a

stickler for safety and like to steer AT newbies in the right

direction and away from dangerous misinformation.

 

Currently, I’m working on finally writing my essential oil blend book

instead of just talking about it. Hah! I've also recently started work

at a busy bodywork college and I love it.

 

Take care,

Stacey who is actually ::gasp:: studying tonight

Greetings!

 

I'm one of the new members, and since I'm studying, too, I thought

I'd take a break and introduce myself.

 

My interest in aromatherapy stems from aesthetics (I'm blind have always

been very affected by plant scents) and my interest in natural, safe,

easy, helpful remedies. I am a church soloist, chorister, and college

student with a double major in music history and medieval studies, and I

plan to get a doctorate in musicology and a certificate in music

thanatology (music therapy used in hospice care). I plan on taking

Martin's course at some point (it's the only one I'll trust ), and I

would love to explore some sort of synergy between music and aromatherapy.

Are there any ideas out there on this topic?

 

I look forward to getting to know you, and I had better stop rambling and

translate some more Latin.

 

Pax Christi,

Sydney Freedman

 

P.S. In case anyone is unsure, Sydney (as opposed to Sidney) is the

feminine spelling. I've definitely been addressed as Mr. Freedman in

correspondence and wanted to clear up any confusion in advance.

Sydney,

As far as I am concerned, music and aroma are intimately linked. Both

work on the brain and both can produce good or bad effects. There is

some reseach on this issue, but most of it has been done in-house for

people who wanted to develop music with fragrance on demand devices.

Not heard anything of the outcome, so the company may have stopped

trading. The idea was to have a CD with markers on it, that would

trigger smells from a device that you could program to your own

desires. Mine would be Jimmi Hendrix and old Patchouli.

What a fascinating topic.

I was speaking with a retired Hollywood actress the other day while I

was selling some Botanical Perfumes.

She mentioned that actors and actresses use sent to remember their

lines.I

A fairly common practice where a certain scent is used to remember

certain lines.

Fascinating , that ole limbic brain , the ole lizard brain, I sure

trust it more than other parts.

Happy End of Spring!
