The Scented Veil: Using Scent to Awaken the Soul

Though contemporary scientists have rediscovered the power of scent on the human mind and body, the use of scents to promote physical, mental, or emotional health or to reach certain altered brain states is not new. Its beginnings are so ancient, in fact, that they are lost beyond the earliest recorded history.

Every culture and religion has had its own tradition of using scent to promote spiritual development and drawing closer to the gods—or God. Edgar Cayce, the famous twentieth-century mystic and clairvoyant, also had some things to say about such use of scent in the development of psychic abilities and spiritual development.

Aromatherapist Carly Wall’s extensive research into the historic use of scent and the information on scent in the Cayce readings has produced this fascinating, comprehensive, and practical book on how you can use scent to improve meditation, increase your psychic abilities, and promote your spiritual development.
