Grasse Aromatherapy Symposium March 2012

http://www.aromatherapie.ville-grasse.fr/

16-18 March 2012

Last year

April 1-3: 13th International Symposium of Aromatherapy and Medicinal Plants

Palais des Congres de Grasse

Annual meeting of aromatherapy professionals, researchers and therapists have the opportunity to take stock of progress and problems in the area of essential oils and medicinal plants.

For this thirteenth edition, World Forests and Sacred Plants will be highlighted

The main focus will be developed around the complementary themes:

• Language of the Gods, understanding of people,  useful plants in the tradition
• Plants and people: beauty, prevention, cure,
• Olfaction and Neuroscience,
• Plant Neurobiology, from molecules to the soul of nature,

A major advantage of this symposium is the variety of topics each year, all areas of aromatherapy are alternately highlighted: clinical applications, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, perfumes and food ... and help renew the pool of professionals and researchers involved in this conference

Clean and Green ideas - Natural lighting with a Solar Bulb

From Brazil, to the Philippines (in any direction), we have very poor people around the world who cannot afford, or do not have access to, electric lights. They live in crowded, dark conditions, and need light. You have some very bright, enterprising locals heard about an idea. They are now in business bringing light where it didn’t exist, or was very expensive to provide. A soda bottle, water, and a bit of bleach (to stop algae) can provide an equivalent amount of light as a 50 watt light bulb naturally.

Meditation aids, machines, audios, books by Deepak Chopra

Audios     Books     About Deepak Chopra

His message

- that love, health and happiness are possible, that mystery is real and that the universe is ultimately a friendly and benevolent place where orthodoxies old and new can meet and make peace with one another 

A friend of Michael Jackson for 20 years, Chopra came to widespread public attention in July 2009 when he criticized the "cult of drug-pushing doctors, with their co-dependent relationships with addicted celebrities", saying that he hoped Jacksons death, attributed to an overdose of a prescription drug, would be a call to action.

• No more sleepless nights. I love gadgets but when i saw this I thought No! Not a machine for meditation! Patterns of light and sound lead you gently toward peaceful, calm states of meditation that will help you to relax deeply, improve concentration and memory, and if nothing else sleep more soundly.When we meditate, our brainwaves slow down from the fast beta waves of normal consciousness, to slower alpha rhythms - or the even slower theta patterns of deeper meditation. The brains natural tendency is to follow the frequency of sound and light to slow down.
