Sufi Book of Essential Oils: A Mystical Approach to Aromatherapy Inspired by the 99 Divine Names

By: Luebke, Yasemin Kasim

Sufi Book of Essential Oils is an encyclopedia of essential oils that promotes a spiritual approach to aromatherapy. It builds upon Islamic mysticism, known as Sufism, and modern aromatherapy, the practice of using essential oils to enhance well-being. Most contemporary aromatherapy encyclopedias include detailed profiles of an essential oil's botanical properties and physical, mental, and emotional uses. Rarely do these profiles include spiritual uses, and if they do, none are from a Sufi or Islamic perspective. This book presents the essential oil's spiritual use, or Mystical Use, inspired by Sufi teachings of the Divine Names. The Divine Names, or Al-Asma Ul-Husna (The Beautiful Names), is a collection of 99 Divine Names of Allah ﷻ. Each Divine Name is an Attribute that describes an Aspect, Characteristic, or Quality of God. The Divine Names are a spiritual pharmacopeia to ease human suffering. Each Divine Name is a balm with a specific Mystical Use. Each essential oil in this book is paired with a Divine Name. By pairing essential oil with Divine Name, we form an association that allows for a somatic experience of the Divine Name and a mystical application of the essential oil. The essential oil becomes a spiritual salve. Exploring the Divine Names through aromatherapy is ultimately a spiritual journey to open, soothe, inspire, guide, and fortify the heart.
