The Best Aromatherapy Candle Revealed
The art of aromatherapy uses pure essential oils.
Aromatherapy is a holistic therapy which can be used to promote, physical, mental and spiritual health equilibrium.
Hippocrates, the Father of medicine, claimed that the way to health is to have an aromatic bath and a scented massage everyday
The concept of top note, middle note and base note as used in the aromatherapy and fragrance world is one of interest.
Essential oils which are used in both fragrances and Aromatherapy are obtained by distillation or expression.
During the process of distillation only the extremely small volatile molecules are able to evaporate. . Essential oils which contain a high proportion of the smallest (most volatile) of these molecules are referred to as top notes. Those which are composed mostly of the heaviest (least volatile) molecules are known as base notes. Essential oils which are between are called middle notes
Top note oils are the most volatile – the aroma disappears within 24 hours. Examples are basil, grapefruit, lemon, lime and eucalyptus. They tend to be stimulating and uplifting.
Middle note oils have an aroma which lasts for two to three days. Examples are chamomile, geranium and lavender. They are generally balancing and primarily affect the general metabolism and the systems of the body such as digestion and menstruation.
Base note oils are the least volatile – the aroma will last at least one week. Examples are frankincense, myrrh, neroli, patchouli and vetivert. They have a relaxing and sedative quality.
Inhaling essential oils for example through your candle is another way of benefiting from the therapeutic effects of essential oils.
The perfect carrier for the essential oil are candles based on soy wax, using candles based on paraffin based is a contradiction in terms as paraffin based candles produce toxins and other unpleasant side effects which cancels out the therapeutic effects of essential oils.
Soy wax candles on the other hand do not produce toxins and are clean burning thus leaving a clean air and you can benefit from the therapeutic effects of the essential oils.
The best aromatherapy candles are based on pure essential oils, high quality soy candles and cotton wicks.

Winter Solstice and the Cosmic Christ
At Winter Solstice, the Cosmic Christ reaches the innermost center of the Earth. He makes four major contacts with the planet each year, during the Equinoxes and Solstices.
The “Birth” of the Sun inaugurates a new growth cycle. Earth and her people are ready for new beginnings. Every year there is a higher evolutionary cycle as a result of the Christ impulse.
The Cosmic Christ is the principle of Love, and has a special center within the “sun.”
Two thousand years ago Jesus was prepared by the members of the Essenes to be a vehicle for the Cosmic Christ. Divinity took on flesh, and set the seed pattern for all human kind.
Every year since Jesus came to Earth, as its redeemer, The Cosmic Christ has re-enacted the drama of 2,000 years ago. With each returning Winter Solstice he is born anew.
The Holiest night of the year is Midnight on December 24th. The light of the Christ reaches the heart of Earth and forms a Mystic Star. Every person, plant, animal, mineral, cell and atom absorbs this light. It transforms the Globe into shimmering Gold.
In Celtic terms, the Winter Solstice is known as Alban Arthun or the birthday of Arthur. The legendary myth of Arthur as Solar King is represented by the Pineal gland. Arthur is known as King Pineal. He searches for the Holy Grail – the Divine Feminine or Queen Pituitary.
For a Disciple who has made themselves worthy of initiation, the Christ Child is born in the Manger. The “Manger” is the “Rainbow Bridge” between the Pineal and the Pituitary glands. This becomes the Altar of our Body Temple.
The answer to the question of the Holy Grail is – How can I help you? What can I do for you?
Christmas only begins on December 25th. The next 12 days December 26-January 6 are considered the “Holy of Holies.” The veil between the two worlds is lifted, making it possible to receive wisdom from on high. These days can be used for soul dedication for the 12 months ahead. The 12th night, is known as Epiphany – the coming of the 3 Wise Men, the Magi bearing gifts for the Christ Child – Frankincense, Myrrh, and Gold. Orthodox Churches celebrate this day as Christmas. It is also known as “Little Christmas.”
Each day is under the direction of the 12 Zodiacal Hierarchies. The first day December 26 begins with Aries and the Disciple James – Brother of John. Aries marks the beginning of the Solar New Year. The 12 Disciples preside over each day. The 12 Spiritual centers for each sign are seen illumined, one added each day, so that by the 12th night the Body Temple is lit up like the glorious Christmas Tree.
Light your candle, say your prayers, listen, and dedicate yourself to becoming a worthy Temple where the Christ Consciousness can be born anew within each one of us. And always PRAY FOR PEACE.
