Awaken to Healing Fragrance was recently praised by Gabriel Cousens, author of Conscious Eating, Spiritual Nutrition, and There Is a Cure for Diabetes and director of Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center and Foundation:
“Awaken to Healing Fragrance is a very deep holistic approach to healing on every level. I particularly appreciate Elizabeth Jones’s emphasis on the spiritually activating energy of essential oils. This book helps to elevate our awareness of the physical, emotional, mental, and angelic gift of these oils.”
