Candice Covington’s Essential Oils in Spiritual Practice is a beautiful resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the energetic dimensions of essential oils. This is a beautifully structured guide, weaving together the wisdom of tattvas, chakras, and doshas with the practical application of essential oils in spiritual practice.

A Transformative Guide to Energetic Healing
Covington provides clear energetic profiles and key energy traits for each essential oil, connecting them thoughtfully to the Five Great Elements (tattvas) and divine archetypes. Her explanations are both accessible and brilliant. They allow readers to see how each oil resonates with specific chakras and elemental energies, and how these connections can be harnessed for transformation and healing.
Covington’s meditation practices and tips for connecting with each element are inspiring. Her guidance goes beyond simply providing recipes. Instead, she empowers the reader to identify their personal dominant elements and vibrational signatures, offering tools to purify and align their energetic body.
The inclusion of sacred geometry images, archetypes, and even vibrational properties for jewelry and ritual objects creates a rich, multidimensional layer.
“(Essential oils) deal dynamically with the instinctual self…(they) are uniquely qualified to work with the ‘repository of self,’ or karmic birth parents—traits that are so deeply ingrained that they feel solid and immutable.”

Aligning Spirituality with Essential Oils
I also appreciated the thoughtfully crafted essential oil blend recipes and the practical advice on how to work with them within the context of the archetypes. Covington’s blends are not just about aroma. They are about intention, energy, and spiritual alignment, all of which really resonated with me.
Her approach is holistic, drawing from Ayurveda, Hinduism, Buddhism, and archetypal psychology. Yet she presents these traditions in a way that is grounded and immediately applicable to modern spiritual practice and energy work.
Essential Oils in Spiritual Practice invites the reader to embark on a personal journey of energetic discovery and healing. It offers a wealth of wisdom, practical exercises, and inspiration. It’s a fascinating read!
I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the intersection of aromatherapy, energy medicine, and spiritual growth.
