What is Maharishi Aroma Therapy?
In Maharishi Aroma Therapy, we understand that perfect health and enlightenment is possible if we handle health from the level from which it emerges — the field of consciousness itself. As a student of this beautiful area of knowledge, you will receive priceless practical instruction in learning how to self-manage your health and well-being in a natural, pleasant, and effective way.
On a fundamental level, you will learn how to select and apply the essential oils according to Maharishi AyurVeda to improve sleep, work performance, stress levels, emotional and spiritual well-being, energy levels, and much more.
You will also learn how essential oils are extracted, the specific therapeutic properties of the oils, the fundamentals of self-pulse reading according to Maharishi AyurVeda, and much more. In addition, you will learn how to guide your friends and family in selecting and applying the essential oils most suitable for them.
This online course is a prerequisite for the Maharishi Aroma Therapy Consultant Training Course. Phase 1 will be offered online in September, and Phase 2 in the beginning of 2022.
