DRY BODY BRUSHING

By

Since the skin is the largest organ in the body it is important to help it with its daily detoxification. A quick 5 minutes of body brushing can do more than just detox the skin.

Why take that 5 minutes to body brush before showering?

Increase the circulation to the skin, possibly reducing the appearance of cellulite.

Produces antibacterial substances to protect against infection and enables your body to produce more Vitamin D when exposed to the sun.

Sheds dead skin cells to help efficiently eliminate wastes from your body.

Improves vascular blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. Massaging lymph nodes helps shed excess water and toxins.

Stimulates nerve endings in the skin.

Helps muscle tone.

Helps for a more sound sleep.

Get started:

You will need a high quality brush made from natural materials.

Do it on dry skin before bathing.

Use light but firm circular, upward motions.

Begin at the ankles moving upward to the heart because that is the natural flow of the lymph. Always brush up and in the same direction.

Pay attention to all the body parts, ankles, lower legs, thighs, stomach, chest, back, and arms. Always being careful over tender, sensitive body parts. Body brushing should not hurt. Do not body brush it you have sores, a rash, sun burn, etc. 

Body Brushing 3 times a week is most beneficial.

Shower after body brushing.

Make your own body oil blend with your favorite essential oils. Apply your body oil from the ankles upward toward the heart keeping that lymph flow going.

My favorite essential oil body blend:

15 drops @ Lavender, Frankincense, Orange

10 drops @ Patchouly, Geranium and Neroli

2 oz. Organic Argan oil

2 oz. Organic Almond oil

Mix together in a dark glass spray bottle.

KNOWING THE ESSENTIAL OILS  NOTE 

By

All essential oils have what is called “a note”. The notes are called a top note, a middle note and a base note. When blending essential oils, to get the best synergistic aroma, the blend will contain at least one essential oil from the top note, middle note and base note. Top notes evaporate more quickly and base notes more slowly. The top note aroma is noticed first before the middle and the base note scent. The base note will linger on allowing for a longer lasting blend. This can be a fun thing to play around with. First decide on what your blend is being used for, that will determine what essential oils you will want to pick. So, for sleep you may go with Bergamot, Lavender, Vetiver. Of course you can pick as many essential oils as you please.  Rule of thumb is your blend will contain 30% top note essential oils, 50% middle note essential oils and 20% base note essential oils. Three to five essential oils in an average blend is nice.  

*Here’s an allergy blend for the diffuser: 6 drops Lavender, 10 drops Basil, 4 drops Eucalyptus.

TOP NOTE OILS:

Basil, Bergamot, Blue Cypress, Clary Sage, Eucalyptus, Juniper, Lavender, Lemon, Grapefruit, Lemongrass, Lime, Melissa Neroli, Orange, Peppermint, Tea Tree

MIDDLE NOTE OILS:

Bergamot, Black Pepper, Blue Cypress, Blue Tancy, Cinnamon, Clary Sage, Chamomile, Citronella, Clove, Cypress, Eucalyptus Geranium, Ginger, Balsam, Hyssop, Jasmine, Juniper, Lavender, Manuka, Melissa, Myrrh, Neroli, Peppermint, Rosemary, Tea Tree, Ylang Ylang

FOSTERING GOOD THOUGHT WITH THE BREATH

By

BREATHE DEEP THINK GOOD THOUGHTS
Prana or life force is key to our existence. Often heard is the phrase, “Just take a deep breath.” Those words are beneficial in many ways. “A deep breath has been shown to slow the heartbeat, lower or stabilized blood pressure, reduce levels of stress hormones in the blood, and improve immune system function.”
Better Health Chanel
Frequency is another important factor for your best life. “Cells that vibrate at a higher frequency are full of energy and are super healthy, reflecting how we feel. A healthy human body has a vibrational frequency range of between 62-70 MHz. Human cells can start to change (mutate) when their frequency drops below 62MHz, then illness sets in.”Apr 19, 2020

There are plenty of things that you can do to raise your vibrational frequency to help you feel better. Here are some things you can do to increase your vibrational frequency naturally.
1. Listen to the right music – Music is very influential to the way your body vibrates. If you listen to songs that calm you, it might help your vibrational frequency, or songs with a strong beat can motivate you to achieve more.
2. Be One with Nature – Take a hike or spend time in pleasant surroundings and find your zen. When you get into nature you may feel a sense of gratitude that positively affects your frequency!
3. Meditation – A guided meditation can help you clear negative thoughts and replace them with positive affirmations that can increase your vibrational frequency, elevating your mood and giving you energy. Find joy, happiness, and love within yourself.
4. Invest in your inner peace – Aromatherapy is a method of healing that uses the energy of plants in the form of pure concentrated essential oils to boost health and wellbeing. Diffusing essential oils in the home using a diffuser can have a positive, uplifting frequency increasing the affect on your whole family.
5. Aromatherapy has been used since ancient times to promote feelings of relaxation and calm. Inhaling pure essential oils has been demonstrated to help alleviate stress, insomnia, and depression. This natural solution works by stimulating areas within the brain that are responsible for our emotions. YES! Essential oils may be just what you need to raise your vibrational frequency and assist you to feel happier and healthier!
Remember, your thoughts attract things into your life. Thinking positively will raise your vibrational frequency and bring more positive things into your life. If you feel like your vibrational frequency is low, give some of these things a go and start improving your health within your body and minimise interacting with the things that emit negative vibrations that drag you down!

OUR AURA..
How to clear your aura or subtle body energy (the energy that surrounds your body).
*I love using Orange Essential Oil because it is so uplifting. Use your intuition and pick the essential oil that calls to you.
First you will put a few drops of the essential oil into the palm of your hand. In a clockwise direction with a finger of your other hand circle the essential oil three time around. Bring both hands to your face and take 3 full, deep breaths in of the oil. From the top of your head to your feet make sweeping motions all around your bodies aura.
You can also do this to another person. Do the first three steps and add a fourth of allowing the person to also deep breathe the essential oils in. Follow the last step of brushing it through their aura all around their body from head to toe.


WHAT ARE ADAPTOGEN ESSENTIAL OILS  

By

An adaptogen essential oil can either stimulate or relax your nervous system depending on what your body needs.  So adaptogen essential oils help the body to adapt to external stress and normalize bodily function.  Not all essential oils have this duo personality. Here are the adaptogenic essential oils to reach for if you are unsure of what your body or mind may need. 


LAVENDER is a universal oil that has traditionally been known to balance the body and to work wherever there is a need. If in doubt, use lavender.  It has calming, sedative, antidepressant, and anti-inflammatory properties. My most go to essential oil to put in a blend is Lavender. 

LEMON promotes clarity of thought, and invigorates. Studies find it boosts immunity, helps with relaxation and reduces depression. 

PEPPERMINT purifies and stimulates the conscious mind. It also improves mental accuracy 

BERGAMOT helps relieve anxiety and lifts your mood. 

GINGER is gentle and stimulating to help boost energy level. 

It helps with physical energy and courage. 

CEDAR WOOD  stimulates the limbic brain, the part of the brain which is the center of our emotions. It stimulates the pineal gland which increases melatonin.  It is calming and purifying. 

ORANGE is uplifting, it induces relaxation, reduces depression and helps boost immunity. 

A blend to create a super adaptive boost would be to combine three of these essential oils together.  For example, combine Lavender, Lemon and Bergamot. 

Another way to incorporate these adaptogen essential oils is to know exactly what you need to address and make a blend with that one particular essential oil to address your need and add one of more adaptogen essential oils to that blend boosting the effectiveness of your blend. For example, you are experiencing grief, sadness or loss you can make a blend containing your pick of essential oils known to address those certain issues you are experiencing along with the adaptogen essential oil. 

Knowing that Rose, Chamomile, Jasmine, Sandalwood, Frankincense, or Cinnamon essential oils help with grief use any one of these oils to make a blend and add one or two adaptogenic essential oils to your blend. 

*A diffuser blend that I would put together to address grief while you sleep would be:

4 drops Chamomile 

10 drops Lavender

5  drops Bergamot 

10 drops Orange

*A diffuser blend that may help with brain fog could be:

10 drops of Cedar Wood

10 drops of Lemon

10 drops of Peppermint

*A diffuser blend to help with the immune system:

10 drops of Lemon (may help build white blood cells)

10 drops of Orange

10 drops of Clove

CHAKRA AWAKENING

By

Balancing Our Chakras

 In our subtle body live the seven chakras. Each one of these chakras pertain to certain organs in our body and contribute to the emotions we feel.  It is important for these chakras to be balanced so that energy can flow smoothly through our bodies for optimal health in mind, body and spirit. The spiritual energy of the chakras is vital to creating a whole happy, joyous being. Balancing this energy system is important to our emotional and physical health. 

Everything is energy. Crystals are vibrating energy to be used in balancing or activating the energy of a chakra. Certain crystals are used in conjunction with a particular chakra to bring all the chakras into harmony allowing them to spin in perfect time and motion. Since each chakra is represented by a color the crystal used for that chakra is usually matched up with the same crystal color. 

We can also create Chakra balance and harmony with essential oils. Apply them on the chakra itself, or any place on your body, diffuse them, wear them on aroma therapy jewelry or take a relaxing salt bath.

DEHYDRATION

By

In the  book, You’re Not Sick You’re Thirsty by Dr. F. Batmanghelidj, Dr. Batmanghelidj claims if you wait until your mouth is a dry to take a drink you are already beyond dehydrated. While a prisoner of war for 2 years he had the ability to relate disease to dehydration. In treating his fellow inmates with just water he observed he could relieve symptoms from disease by giving the patient proper hydration.

Waters plays a role in:
*Heart Disease and Stroke – water to help prevent clogging of arteries.
*Infection – water to increase efficiency of immune system.
*Depression – water to help the body naturally replenish serotonin.
*Sleep Disorders – water for the production of nature’s sleep regulator, melatonin.
*Lack of Energy – water generates electrical and magnetic energy in every body cell, for a natural power boost.
*Addiction – water to help eliminate addictive urges.
*Osteoporosis – water aids to strong bone formation.
*Leukemia and Lymphoma – water normalizes blood manufacturing systems to aid in prevention of different cancers.
*Attention Deficit – a well-hydrated brain is continually energized to imprint new information in its memory banks.

The body is 75% water, 25% solid matter. The brain is 85% water and extremely sensitive to dehydration. Adequate hydration of the body might be the best insurance against premature aging, disease and early loss of our different sensory systems.

You may be dehydrated if you have little or no urine or it is dark in color.
You are feeling fatigued, sleepy or have no energy.
You are suffering from a headache or are confused or dizzy.
You are crying and have no tears.

Stay hydrated with at least 8 cups of water each day.
Flavor the water with a couple of drops of Young Living citrus oils, peppermint, spearmint, or ginger to name a few.

Keep the toxins flushed out of your body with lots of water.
Lubricate your joints and protect your organs with water.
Control body temperature with water.
Create saliva with proper hydration.

Eat foods that have a high water content. Some of those are tomatoes, greens, melons, berries, celery, broccoli, cabbage.

Dehydration may play a a role in obesity. By not drinking enough water the cells become depleted of their ready energy. They then depend on food energy instead of water. The body then stores fat and uses protein and starch reserves because it is easier to break them down than stored fat.
So, give your body what it needs, WATER!
A few great weight loss tips using Young Living Products:
Aroma plays a big part in satisfying hunger. Have a cup of SLIQUE tea before a meal.
Drink a glass of water with drops of YL Grapefruit added to it. Grapefruit helps curb your appetite.
