Is Meditation & Aromatherapy a good way to learn to relax?

[Kirsty]

I find that I let little insignificant things bother me and I tend to get quite wound up for no reason that I can pinpoint. Thinking on it now, it may be because of last year. I lost my grandmother and my niece just months apart. I don't sleep to well at the moment either and am finding it difficult to shake off negative vibes. Would Aromatherapy and Meditation help me? I'm naturally upbeat but have an awful temper at times too.

Aromatherapy is a good way to relax however, is only a temporary fix. Meditation is a good way to relax only the type of meditation needs to be considered. Some forms of meditation wants you to empty your mind of all thoughts this too can prove to be temporary relaxation or even dangerous in certain cases. However, the Bible talks about meditating on God's Word, this can prove to be very beneficial and can offer individuals true comfort in these distressing times and unlike a temporary fix when it comes to mans way of relaxation the bible can give us true peace of mind. Notice the scripture at Psalms 1:1-3 says " Happy is the man that has not walked in the counsel of the wicked ones, And in the way of sinners has not stood, And in the seat of ridiculers has not sat. But his delight is in the law of Jehovah, And in his law he reads in an undertone day and night. And he will certainly become like a tree planted by streams of water, That gives its own fruit in its season And the foliage of which does not wither, And everything he does he will succeed." So when we read God's Word the bible and mediate on its teachings this will make us strong to weather the storms in life and this is not a temporary fix for the scripture states " Everything you do you will Succeed."
Romans 15:4 says " For all the things that were written aforetime were for our instruction, that through our endurance and through the comfort from the scriptures we might have hope." We can still enjoy relaxing things but true peace of mind can come only from studying God's Word the Bible and applying its counsel in our life by doing these things we will have a peace of mind that excel all thoughts.

In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,

In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
