차크라 각성과 아로마테라피의 파동에너지적 관계 연구

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 논문은 전인적 테라피로서의 아로마테라피가 가지는 에너지적
특성으로 차크라 각성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 차크라 각성은
우리가 전체를 이해하며 통합하는 행동을 할 때 전인적인 힐링이 될
것이라는 믿음을 기반으로 한다. 전인적 테라피의 전제는 우리 안에
생명력의 에너지가 있다는 것이다. 차크라 체계는 우리 몸속에 흐르
는 우주의 생명 에너지인 ‘전기적 흐름’의 통로이고 또한 아로마테라
피는 아로마 에센셜 오일에 내재한 식물 에너지의 파장을 가지고 있
다. 차크라 각성과 아로마테라피가 신체에 적용되면 건강한 신체의
상태는 감성적 건강에도 영향을 준다. 이러한 원리가 사람에게 적용
되었을 때에는 정신과 육체의 조화로 나타난다. 모든 생명체는 우주
의 생명 원리에 의해 창조되고 그 원리로 발전, 쇠퇴, 소멸해 가는데
우주 생명의 원리는 바로 균형과 조화의 원리다.
본 연구는 차크라 체계의 특징과 다양한 각성요법을 살펴보고, 아
로마테라피의 전반적인 특성들을 고찰하고 인도의 고전 문헌들의 고
찰로 차크라 각성에 향을 이용하는 아로마테라피가 시작점일 수 있는
근거를 규명하였다.
또한 파동에너지적 측면으로의 차크라와 아로마 에센셜 오일의 관
계에 대해 연구하였다. 차크라 각성에 아로마테라피가 에너지적 특성
으로 유기적 관계를 맺고 있다.
정화는 육체와 마음이 점점 미세해지고 균형과 조화를 이루는 과
정이다. 상키야의 세계 전변설로 보면 순수 의식인 진아(眞我)로의 정
화는 5종 조대요소와 5종 미세요소가 출발점임을 알 수 있다. 이는
물라다라 차크라에 대응되는 미세요소인 향을 이용한 각성 요법인 아
로마테라피가 전체 차크라 체계의 균형과 조화 즉, 활성화에 긴밀한
영향을 줄 수 있음을 말해준다. 파동에너지 측면으로 볼 때 우리의
몸은 생리적, 화학적 측면 이외에 에너지 체계로서 차크라와 오라를
기반으로 하는 에너지 구조이다. 차크라는 주위의 파동이 각 개인의
진동수에 부합되어 공명할 때 주변으로부터 파동을 끌어들인다. 에너
지 파동의 안테나로서 환경과 자연, 우주와 연결시키며 전인적으로
작용한다. 각 차크라는 일정한 움직임을 가지고 있고, 특정한 진동수
의 아로마에센셜 오일에 공명한다.
치유는 보이지 않는 내면에서 시작한다. 생체에너지 장인 생명 장의
균형과 활성화는 육체의 건강과 직접 결부되어 있다. 생체에너지 장
의 활성화와 균형을 맞추는 방법으로서 차크라와 아로마 에센셜 오일
의 결합은 바람직하다. 차크라는 육체를 둘러싸고 있으면서 진동적
수준에 따라 다양한 층으로 구성되어 에너지를 유입, 배출한다. 그리
고 아로마 에센셜 오일에는 내재되어 있는 식물 에너지가 신체와 공
명한다. 이 둘의 에너지 시스템으로 신체와 삶 자체의 균형과 조화를
얻을 수 있다.
