The perfume of the Bakul flower, also known as the “garland flower” lasts for a very long time and therefore is symbolic for the lasting love and devotion one has for one’s beloved.
Bakul trees are often found growing at temple entrances. Following the ancient Hindu custom of marrying male and female trees, the Bakul - which is considered male - is planted on the right side of the entrance, while the chalta tree, which is considered female, is planted on the left side. Interestingly, however, the essence of the Bakul is considered to ignite the female energy (shakti) and the chalta, the female tree, drives the male energy - an example of the male-female balance (shakti vahana) in Hindu philosophy.
Bakul flowers are often considered sacred and are used as temple offerings to please the gods and goddesses or worn and given as garlands at holy ceremonies. Bakul Attar can also be burned in water to create a peaceful and meditative atmosphere.
TANTRA:
Bakul Attar promotes the energies of the first (root), fourth (the heart) and the seventh chakra (the crown).
The first chakra, the Muladhara, is located at the base of the spine. This chakra forms our foundation. It represents the element earth and is therefore related to our survival instincts, and to our sense of grounding and connection to our bodies and the physical plane. Ideally, this chakra brings us health, prosperity, security and dynamic presence.
The fourth chakra house, the Anahata, is also known as the heart chakra. It is related to love and is the integrator of opposites in the psyche: mind and body, male and female, persona and shadow, ego and unity. A healthy fourth chakra allows us to love deeply, feel compassion, and have a deep sense of peace and centeredness.
Finally, the Sahasrara chakra or the crown chakra relates to consciousness as pure awareness. It is our connection to the greater world beyond, to a timeless, space less place of all-knowing. When developed, this chakra brings us knowledge,
wisdom, understanding, spiritual connection, and bliss.
A little aromatherapy education. Whatever scent smells good to you, will instantly de-stress you.
There are two distinct departments of aromatherapy—one dealing with the application of oils to effect the physical body, and one used to adjust the subtlest essences of the heart and soul or emotions.
It must be remembered that those applications to the soul and the emotions are superior to those of the body, for it is a rule of Nature that the spiritual always takes precedence over the material. It is on this level of healing, that we want to use the Attars.
For centuries, the traditional healers of the East have known that natural plant oils provide a powerful key to unlock creativity, resolve emotional problems, develop spiritual powers and enhance natural beauty!
Some individuals will respond in a deeper and more profound way to an aroma than others. However, everyone will be moved by the aromas in some way or another depending on how refined the soul is of the individual using it. Some people will be moved without even realizing it!
If you have a history of allergies or skin sensitivities, it is best to place a drop on the skin on the inside of the wrist, and wait 24 hours to see if there is any skin irritation. All Anointing oils are FDA approved, however, if sensitivity does occur, discontinue use.
