   Episode 68: Exploring The Emotional Language of Aroma and Hue

   In this soulful solo episode of Aligned Expressions, Sherry Steine, RYT 500, Certified Yoga Therapist, Certified Aromatherapist, and holistic wellness educator, explores the deeply personal and transformative connection between aroma, color, breath, and emotional well-being in an episode titled “Exploring the Emotional Language of Aroma and Hue.” Drawing from years of research, intuitive practice, and therapeutic experience, Sherry shares the inspiration behind her new journal, In Color and Scent: A Journal of Aromatherapy & Color Breathing Rituals for Inner Peace. The journal emerged from her growing fascination with the subtle “color signatures” of essential oils and how these energetic qualities may influence emotional states, nervous system regulation, and inner harmony. Throughout the episode, Sherry reflects on the fascinating intersections of aromatherapy, color psychology, mindful breathing practices, and sensory wellness. She discusses how specific colors and essential oils can evoke emotional responses, support energetic balance, and create a deeper sense of grounding, creativity, calm, renewal, and spiritual connection. Listeners are also invited behind the scenes of Sherry’s experimental workshop experience, where participants explored guided color breathing rituals paired with intentional aromatherapy practices. Sherry shares the powerful feedback and surprising results gathered from the workshop, including emotional shifts, sensory awareness, enhanced relaxation, and deeper self-reflection experienced by attendees. This episode offers gentle insight, practical inspiration, and thoughtful conversation for anyone interested in holistic wellness, emotional healing, sensory rituals, and creating intentional moments of peace in daily life. Whether you are a caregiver, wellness professional, or simply seeking new ways to reconnect with yourself, this conversation encourages you to begin seeing — and sensing — wellness beyond the surface. Episode Themes Include: The emotional influence and psychology of color Essential oils and their energetic or “color” signatures Pairing aroma with breath and visualization practices Creating restorative rituals for home and self-care Reflections from Sherry’s experimental aroma and color workshop The inspiration behind In Color and Scent

   Episode 67: Feeding Your Spirit, Focus Your Mind & Train Your Body with Dr. Gayl Crump Swaby

   In this heartfelt return to Aligned Expressions, host Sherry Steine opens Season 6 by sharing a deeply personal and professional evolution. After taking intentional time away from the podcast, Sherry reflects on becoming a Certified Yoga Therapist, recalibrating her wellness business, and publishing two new books: In Color & Scent I Settle and Aligned by the Stars (https://www.amazon.com/Aligned-Stars-Integrative-Aromatherapy-Challenges/dp/B0GJDBY9Q5/ref=sr_1_1?crid=4ETGS99VAFV6&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.sQknx8MuQOUdJ4ckPec0-KVGj6u4R3d3LzkbJ-l6tv-tbyfQnuRfJ2Y0JP0ilV22_gQoajTAgerLC17yLyhs1DE_9V_O09myVvZ5xLOH7UD7NHPWlxPGM_W2lOkYhQQM.PhgE0K2a1EgyLm5ASufi8_KQ-OShoTucHi5SmjldGJU&dib_tag=se&keywords=Sherry+Steine&qid=1778020039&sprefix=sherry+steine%2Caps%2C117&sr=8-1). Both works highlight her integrative approach to healing through aromatherapy, color, and Vedic astrology. This episode centers on the theme “Feed Your Spirit, Focus Your Mind, and Train Your Body,” setting the tone for a more holistic and embodied direction for the season ahead. Joining the conversation is Dr. Gayl Crump Swaby, mental health consultant, associate professor of counseling, and author of Unlocking Legacies and Realising Burdens. (https://www.amazon.com/Unlocking-Legacies-Releasing-Burdens-Generational/dp/9655780112/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2TA9MTEJ855AV&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.qMVpo4Ufrthj7hxzYF_TSg.EqCbS141PNtxdVoWSyC-PK4TweLPczvlq8ffp4bWBqU&dib_tag=se&keywords=Dr.+Gayl+Crump+Swaby&qid=1778020214&sprefix=dr.+gayl+crump+swaby%2Caps%2C91&sr=8-1)Together, they explore the impact of generational trauma, the importance of addressing inherited emotional patterns, and pathways toward healing and wholeness. This episode invites listeners into a grounded, multidimensional approach to wellness—one that honors the connection between mind, body, and spirit while offering compassionate insight into breaking free from the past and stepping into a more aligned future.
