I like having my house smell of spices, herbs and various oils. When I did a web search for angels and essential oils there were hundreds of sites selling a wide variety of mixtures for guardian angels, Mother Mary, a variety of saints and for clearing your aura and your space.<\/p>\n<p>With aromatherapy I find my nose is the best guide. Some of my favorites for working with angels are frankincense, cedarwood, rosewood,<br \/>\nclary sage, rose, lavender, sandalwood, myrrh, balsam, patchouli and ylang ylang.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nAromatherapy can be a wonderful way to facilitate working with angels. Our sense of smell plays a profound role in our ability to remember something or create a new memory. If you burn a certain incense when you meditate or pray whenever you smell that incense your mind will automatically go into that sacred state of mind. <\/p>\n<p>When people begin to work with angels two of the tools I find most helpful are candles and essential oils. I enjoy working with an altar. I have one in my office with a nice cloth on it, some candles and a few of my favorite icons. I also have an essential oil diffuser in which I put different oils. I find it a pleasant reminder and often light a candle when someone asks me to pray for them or before I meditate.<\/p>\n<p>As always angels are always just a thought and a prayer away but I love candles and incense so I use them to deepen my connection with them. Try it and see if it helps.<\/p>\n<p>With love and aloha,<br \/>\n<i><a href=\"http:\/\/susangregg.com\/\">Susan<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<p>Angels are everywhere just open your mind and your heart to the signs.<\/p>\n<p>Make <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/angelsonyourshoulder\/\">Angels on Your Shoulder<\/a>  part of your daily routine and share it with a friend! <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love working with essential oils.
