Essential Oils for Mindfulness and Meditation: Relax, Replenish, and Rejuvenate by Heather Dawn Godfrey

Essential Oils for Mindfulness and Meditation considers Heather Dawn Godfrey’s approach to using scent alongside attention to the present moment. The guide discusses aroma as a sensory focus rather than treating meditation as a way to escape everyday experience.

Godfrey introduces a selected group she calls the “Gem” essential oils and provides a chart for choosing among them. This is an aromatherapy companion to contemplative practice, not a guarantee of a worry-free mind or treatment for trauma. Concentrated oils require care and may cause irritation or sensitivity.
