Sarah Holt, a certified holistic health coach and aromatherapist, will present a program on “Aromatic Meditation” at the Dec. 15 meeting of the Emerald Coast Meditation Society.
The ECMS will meet at 6:30 p.m. at Christ the King Episcopal Church, at 480 N. Co. Hwy. 393, Santa Rosa Beach, one-half mile north of Hwy. 98. The meeting, open free to the public, begins with 30 minutes of silent meditation.
Holt says she will help the group discover how aromatics can enhance the meditation experience, and ways to incorporate it into a daily meditation practice. Some of its benefits, she says, are to help you go deeper, become more relaxed and have a quieter mind.
In addition, she will give an overview of how aromatics have been used in spiritual settings, what different aromatics are good for, and how to use them to find a match for what you want to accomplish with your meditation.
Originally from the Washington, D.C., area, Holt worked for various government agencies before settling on a career path that focused on helping people. She holds a bachelor’s degree from Goucher College and received her health-coaching training from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, where she learned the importance of holistic thinking when approaching life and wellness.
She is an avid reader and loves to spend time on the beach. She is also a wellness advocate who spends her days educating people on essential oils and healthy lifestyles. She lives and practices in Navarre, and also makes home visits in a wide area.
The ECMS is an ecumenical group open to anyone. It meets on the first and third Thursdays of the month, September through June. The evening will end around 8 p.m. with a short guided meditation. Anyone who would like meditation instruction should come at 6:15 p.m. Questions? Contact Nancy James, nancyjames@embarqmail.com.
