How to Use Aromatherapy in Meditation and Breathwork - Luxury Home Spa

In today’s fast-paced world, finding inner calm is essential and aromatherapy is the perfect partner for your meditation and breathwork practice. At Revives Home Spa, we believe that scent has the power to transform your mental space, helping you go deeper into relaxation, focus, and self-awareness.

What is Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy uses essential oils extracted from plants to promote physical and emotional well-being.

When used during meditation or breathwork, these natural scents stimulate the limbic system the part of your brain connected to emotion and memory enhancing your ability to relax and focus.

How to Combine Aromatherapy with Meditation and Breathwork

Here are a few simple yet powerful ways to integrate aromatherapy into your routine:

1. Diffuse Essential Oils Before You Begin

Set the tone for your session by using a diffuser. Add a few drops of calming oils like lavender, frankincense, sandalwood, or bergamot.

Let the scent fill your space and signal your brain to slow down and focus inward.

2. Apply Oils to Pulse Points

Dilute essential oils with a carrier oil (like coconut or jojoba) and gently apply them to your wrists, temples, or chest.

As you breathe deeply, these scents will enhance your connection to the present moment.

3. Inhale Directly for Instant Calm

If you’re on the go or want quick stress relief, place a drop of oil on your palms, rub them together, and inhale deeply before beginning breathwork.

Oils like peppermint and eucalyptus can open your lungs and deepen your breath.
