Expert Voice: Sigur-Björn, Creator of Spectral Meditation

Meditation takes us on a journey to meaningful and deep contentment, beyond the daily tasks that drain us of emotional stability.

Meet Sigur- Björn, creator of Spectral Meditation.

After meditating and teaching traditional ‘mindful’ meditation for over 15 years, Sigur-Björn has developed a three-pronged brand of meditation that includes a powerful blend of sounds, scents and visualization.

“I started to get rest, rejuvenation and focus from my meditation on a level I had not experienced before by using Spectral M,” says Sigur-Björn.  After receiving kudos from friends and family – even those who had never tried meditation before – he recently decided to take it to the public at large.

See, Smell and Soothe for Yourself!

What You’ll Need

• A blend of essential oils
• An iPod or some kind of music device with headphones
• An oil burner (optional)
• A quiet place.

Step 1

Create the essential oil blend you will use for your at-home Spectral Meditation experience. You can use frankincense, vertiver, and/or cedarwood and mix it with organic lavender essential oil, which is a great compliment to the other ‘grounding’ oils.

Step 2

Find a secluded place where you can sit undisturbed for 7-10 minutes (a Spectral M session is typically 30 minutes, but this trial is shorter).  Sitting in the lotus position is a great option, but being comfortable is most important.

Step 3

Choose music that relaxes you. Avoid drumbeats. Nature soundtracks featuring rain, ocean, birds etc. are also great.  A blend of music and sounds also works well.  When he teaches, Sigur- Björn tailors music and scents for maximum effect, so don’t be afraid to experiment until you find the mix that works best for you.

Step 4

Put five or six drops of the essential oil blend in an oil burner. Fill up with water. Light the candle. If you don’t have a burner, put three or four drops of the oil in the palm of your hands, rub them together, and then cup your face in them.  Breathe in deeply several times and let the olfactory system bring the soothing scents to your brain.  Feel the oil relax you. Set the mood further with soy candles.

Step 5

Visualize your first chakra (a chakra is a point of physical or spiritual energy in the human body) at the bottom of your torso. In your mind’s eye, see a beam of red light stretching from the chakra through the earth and into the red, glowing iron core at the center of the Earth. Breathe this red light in and maintain the connection. Replace any thoughts that may arise with this image. Feel the body relax as you listen to the music, breath in the scents, and visualize.

Enjoy the Spectral M Benefits

You may start to feel your root chakra (the chakra associated with being grounded) immediately, or it may take a few sessions. Repeated practice will bring more balance into your life. In addition to activating your root chakra, this exercise is a tremendous way to gain more focus. It will benefit you when you need to concentrate on work or a specific task.

Sigur-Björn Loves Lavender!

“Lavender is the best relaxation scent I know. Before going to sleep, put two drops on your pillow, one on each side of your head. This will give you a deeper sleep and you will wake up more refreshed. Use it consistently for more effectiveness.”

A pure and peaceful mind is a happy mind.  Let us know how your at-home Spectral Meditation goes – we love hearing from you!

Sigur-Björn in person: he teaches Spectral Meditation at CityLife Medical and Fitness Spa on Robertson in Los Angeles and will debut it at The Retreat on Abbot-Kinney in Venice Beach, L.A., in 2010.

Lavender Body Lotion

A light veil of moisture that soothes, rehydrates and refreshes the body. Rich in nutrients yet elegantly simple, this lotion is pourable and has a delicate, sweet, very light natural scent, a perfect base for the most luxurious essential oil blends. The certified organic herbal extracts help renew skin to a fresh, supple texture. The highest-quality natural food-grade vegetable oil of safflower is combined with super-hydrating and nourishing seaweed (algae) and healing aloe vera. The fragrance is a masterful blend of four lavenders selected from around the world to create the essence of true French Lavender. The “Lavande” scent which evokes the true, clean, fresh air scent of lavender is hard to achieve with one single oil. Without relying on single chemical constituents to achieve this note, we have naturally blended four distinctive lavenders to achieve the scent.

Himalayan Lavender Bath Salts

The marriage of our Napa Valley organic lavender essential oil and pure, hand-mined salt found naturally deep inside the pristine Himalayan Mountains seemed only natural.

We carefully chose the source of our Pink Himalayan Salt to ensure we were getting the best of the best.  It is imported from an FDA approved manufacturer to ensure it was coming from an ethically and ecologically approved vendor.  The high mineral salt crystals range in color from sheer white to shades of pink and deep reds which indicates a good amount of 84 trace elements and iron…..yes, 84!

Himalayan Salt is over 250 million years old so it has developed quite a track record for its healing properties.  For centuries, it has been used as folk remedies for a variety of health issues including stimulating circulation, lowering blood pressure and removing toxins such as heavy metals from the body.

Himalayan Salt is a jewel of its own but we couldn’t help but drizzle a bit of our Napa Valley organic lavender essential oil into it to create the ultimate bath salts designed to heal the body and relax the mind.

Our Himalayan Lavender Bath Salts come packaged in a reusable mini and 16.9 oz. tulip weck jar. The simple packaging allows the beauty of the salts to take center stage.

Lavender Sea Salt Soak

We have combined sea salt from the Dead Sea and the Mediterranean Sea to ensure the most luxurious base for our Lavender Sea Salt Soak.

Both salts are high in mineral content and low in moisture content. The minerals in the sea salt assist in cleansing, detoxifying, and restoring a healthy balance to your skin and muscles. The low moisture content allows for easy absorption of the essential oils…that are then released in the bath water as salts dissolve.

The salts are christened with a blend of our Napa Valley organic lavender essential oil and our organic lemon essential oil. The organic lemon essential oil is the same oil that is used in our lemon extra virgin olive oil. The combination of the two oils gives healing, peace, clarity, heightened intuition, refreshment to spirit and strength to the soul…

Our Lavender Sea Salt Soak is produced in small batches in our production facility in the Napa Valley. It is simply packaged in a mini and 16oz. reusable Weck jar.

Our Organic Lavender Bath Tea is a combination of organic lavender flowers, organic chamomile blossoms, organic calendula petals, organic rose petals and our Napa Valley organic essential oil.

The organic herbs were chosen for their healing properties. The chamomile and calendula are for cleansing and softening the skin; the lavender helps calm the nerves; and the rose petals soothe dry and sensitive skin. As the herbs provide nutrients for the body, our Napa Valley organic lavender essential oil releases in the bath water to ease the mind.

The Organic Lavender Bath Tea is produced in small batches in our production facility in the Napa Valley. It is simply packaged in a reusable mini and 16 oz. Weck jar.
