Earth and Sky Healing

In The Art of Aromatherapy, Level I: A Personal Journey to the Heart of the Medicine, the main focus of the course was to delve into the sacred nature of essential oils through direct perception and shamanic journey, compile the teachings and knowledge received, and develop a database of the ‘medicine’ and uses of 10 essential oils.

The focus of Level II is to take that knowledge and put it into practice. Whether or not you are interested in taking the step to become a “practitioner”, your deep understanding of the essential oils can help many of the people around you; friends, family, pets, etc. but you need to know how to use the oils effectively and safely. The course will include:

- Working with clients on a one-to-one as a ‘practitioner in training.’ You will be asked to find between 1 and 3 clients to work with for the duration of the course, i.e., 6 months. If you wish to work with animals, those would be in addition to the ‘human’ clients.

- Learning the art of blending oils. In our approach to aromatherapy, recognizing the unique needs of each individual, all blends will be custom made.

- Exploring the nature of 10 additional essential oils to complete your Basic Kit.

- Practitioner training/mentoring. You will be guided to develop your skills at assessing clients’ needs, determine which oil/blend will be most efficient and effective, and how to monitor and evaluate their progress. This will be done through the presentation and discussion of the case studies at each class.

This program is unique in its focus on developing skills to assess the client’s needs at all levels, body/mind/spirit. It is only through the combination of deep understanding of the client and deep understanding of the nature of the essential oils that the two can come together and fulfill the possibilities of healing.

 

Testimonials

This course is a great choice for those who want to learn how to bring the gifts of Jaki's unique approach to aromatherapy to clients in a healing practice.
In this course, I was encouraged to continue to develop my skills in gathering information directly from the oils themselves and from my own experience with them instead of from a book. Learning to trust one's own intuition feels like a stretch at first for those who are used to trusting intellectual ideas and information gathered by experts above all else, but this small classroom environment is a supportive and safe place to do so. Part of learning from the oils themselves is learning to perceive the information that they offer clearly and without biases or pre-conceived ideas, and as a teacher Jaki is very skilled in pointing out what is right in front of you, and in challenging any assumptions you might make about the gifts and medicines a particular oil presents to you.
Along the journey, I was shown how to engage with my plant allies, who support me in body, mind, and spirit, and show me how to help others. This course provided me with the tools of perception to gauge how an oil is bringing wholeness to a client. As a class, we used role-playing to practice helping clients. This was an extremely practical exercise that really helped each student see their own habitual behaviors that got in the way of perceiving what the client really needed.

It's been almost a year since we finished the Level II Aromatherapy Course, Practicing the Medicine, offered by Jaki Daniels. I can now say that this course has changed my life - forever. Since completing it, I've started a practice which includes what I call 'Spiritual Aromatherapy'. For me, Spiritual Aromatherapy means that there is no cookie cutter approach. Different oils are going to work best with different patients and it might not be the oil a book suggests to use....It's really about matching the best oil with a patient, at the spiritual level. This is the fundamental teaching delivered in this unique class and this is what guarantees the success of the treatment.
As a result, there is not a day goes by without me using essential oils one way or the other...and they always work! It's absolutely marvellous, amazing, and enriching. The oils have offered their healing powers to people suffering everything from benign cold sores to surgery recovery, shingles to frozen shoulders, and emotional and spiritual problems. Using the oils with animals (only with their permission) has also helped cats suffering from upper respiratory track infections or emotional distress (our very upset cat feeling lonely and abandoned when we went on holidays), dogs with neurotic behaviors or skin infections after fighting with porcupines. I'm amazed every day and I want to spend the rest of my life working with the essential oils, the spiritual way. Thank you so much Jaki!
