Protect Yourself from Cold and Flu Season

Every year I do what I can to arm myself against the cold & flu season. I wash my hands at every opportunity, I drink plenty of water, and I try to get a solid seven or eight hours of sleep each night.
Despite my best efforts, however, interacting with germs is almost unavoidable. Door handles, dollar bills, elevators, playgrounds, and public places are all hot beds for germs! Instead of avoiding these things, and life in general, I’ve started incorporating a few Young Living products into my regimen that have greatly strengthened my immune system, allowing my body to fight off germs and bacteria from the inside out.

Life 5™—Did you know that your digestive tract is largely responsible for your body’s immune system? This area acts as the command center of the immune system and the eliminator of waste products. In order for it to work properly, a partnership with billions of probiotics is necessary to prevent the proliferation of harmful bacteria and to help flush waste in your system. Life 5 provides a daily boost of five of the most clinically proven and advanced probiotics, including three super strains that represent the most health-promoting and viable strains ever prepared in a supplement.

Super C™—Young Living’s Super C not only contains 2,166 percent of the recommended dietary intake of vitamin C per serving, but it also fortifies with rutin, citrus bioflavonoids, and minerals to enhance the effectiveness and absorption of vitamin C.* The essential oils that are added to this supplement may also increase bioflavonoid activity. This product helps normal immune and circulatory functions, strengthens connective tissues, and helps to promote overall health, vitality, and longevity.*

Inner Defense™—Inner Defense strengthens your body by creating an unfriendly environment for yeast and fungus, thereby improving digestion and supporting the respiratory system to help fight wintertime discomforts. Young Living’s powerful essential oils—including oregano, thyme, and Thieves® essential oil blend—are key components of this total system protection supplement.

Three Effective Steps for the Next Emotional Breakthrough

Well, it is the beginning of the new year...2011. Most people start the new year worried about how they are going to make things better this year.
This is an article that came up on our Young Living product blog on December 14, 2010. I wanted to share it, and hope that it may help some of you as well.

May God Bless you this new year.

We all face difficulties in our lives as we move through each day with hazards, barriers, and other defeating behaviors. “The hips are too big.” “I’m not going to fit into those pants.” And the list goes on and on. Young Living essential oils used with self-talk and affirmation can help us stay calm and break through emotional barriers.

Here are three easy steps that can help you break through emotional barriers:

1. RELAX
A mistake that people get wrapped up in is negative thinking. You might be meaning well by criticizing yourself with defeating behavior, but this allows the negative emotions to dig deeper in the body. Apply Release™ to the liver area to break down the walls of negative thinking.

2. CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS
Place Forgiveness™ over the heart after negative thinking starts to change in your mind. Change your thoughts by using statements with powerful words. Staying focused on these goals can keep you away from distractions. This helps acknowledge current hazards and avoid feelings of panic.

3. BELIEVE
Put Present Time™ on the front of the neck. This oil is very effective to enhance positive self-talk. When you start to struggle again, breathe it in, stay calm, cool, and collected. Keep repeating to yourself a positive phrase as you apply the oil of Present Time. Stay with this until you feel a shift in your body. Use these three steps to change the negative self-talk.




Peace be with you,

Thieves Essential Oil for cold, flu and so much more.

If someone asked me what my favorite product is I would have to say the whole Thieves line is the best.
There are so many benefits to the oil on its own, but adding it to household type products was the best idea ever. I have not cleaned my home with chemicals for the last 10 to 15 years. I love the pleasant aroma that the Thieves products have. You can use it for everything from air purification, to cold and flu blocker, to massage, and cleaning body and house. Thieves Oil products from Young Living Are AMAZING! This is what my family is using to combat the Cold and Flu this year. I spray it in the room as a deoderizer, and use it as a rub on the bottom of our feet. Plus if I get a sore throat, I will rub some into my throat before bed and wake up with no sore throat.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
This was originally posted on the Young Living blog in October 2008.

Though it’s hard to choose a favorite, when people ask me what my favorite Young Living product is, I have to say that it’s Thieves® Household Cleaner. I use this product every day in more ways than I ever thought possible. Every load of laundry and each time I turn on the dishwasher, I add a capful. When cleaning the bathroom or scrubbing my floors, I always reach for my Thieves House Cleaner and the germ-fighting power of Thieves essential oil blend. When I got grease on a favorite sweater, it was the only thing that worked. I’ll never go back to harsh, synthetic cleaners again! Just ask my friends and family, I’ve converted them too.

Young Living’s Thieves essential oil blend was created based on the historical account of four thieves in France who protected themselves from the black plague with cloves, rosemary, and other aromatics while robbing victims of the killer disease. When captured, the thieves were offered a lighter sentence in exchange for their secret recipe.

Today, Young Living continues to employ this proprietary essential oil blend for its cleansing and immune-supporting abilities in many of our personal care and essential living products. Its all natural solution is an excellent antioxidant and has been university tested to kill bacteria and mold.

A simple way you can utilize the cleansing power of Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ Thieves essential oil blend is to replace harsh, synthetic household cleaners with Thieves Household Cleaner or Thieves Spray and carry the germ-fighting power of Thieves Waterless Hand Purifier with you wherever you go. As you utilize the power of Thieves, your home and health will reap enormous benefits.

Did you know that the Center of Disease Control reports that 76 million cases of food poisoning occur in the US each year, resulting in one in four Americans contracting food-borne illnesses? By employing the benefits of Thieves in your home and on the go, you can also protect yourself and your family from becoming one of these statistics.

As Young Living strives to spread the word about the natural power of Thieves essential oil blend, more people are taking notice. In the September/October 2008 issue of Mothering magazine, editor Candace Walsh was featured describing Thieves blend as, “Another essential-oil goodie: Young Living’s Thieves, a blend of cloves, rosemary, and more that protect the wearer from most airborne bacteria.” 

Thieves essential oil blend is a wonderful all-natural product that can be used throughout your home and in all aspects of your life. Have you experienced the power of Thieves?

Believe in the Possibilities of a New Year

This was posted to the Young Living product blog today.

Since 1999 I have been using Young Living essential oils with my students, private bodywork clients, friends, family, and of course for myself. In all of my experience I can’t think of an essential oil blend that’s had a more profound impact on me than Believe™. It’s the perfect balance of Idaho balsam fir essential oil (Abies grandis), rosewood essential oil (Aniba rosaeodora), and frankincense essential oil (Boswellia carteri). Gary Young must have been truly inspired when he created this blend, which I refer to as “sunshine in a bottle.”

I have found success using this blend for communication or throat chakra issues. The throat chakra is the energy center for expressing our emotions, speaking truth, and the ability to grieve.  I personally use Believe neat (undiluted) on the back of the neck and throat area before I make important phone calls or have business meetings. Most recently I have needed to make specific requests and set boundaries with people and I have found that Believe helps me be concise and clear while still maintaining kindness and compassion in my communications with others.

In my book, Aroma Yoga®: A Guide for Using Essential Oils in Your Yoga Practice, I recommend Believe as a throat chakra oil. When we have a strong belief in ourselves and are in touch with our purpose, it’s easier to be clearer in our communications with others. In my experience using Believe, I feel that this essential oil blend gives me an extra boost of confidence, while also helping ground and strengthen me energetically.

Try using Believe in the morning before going to work or holding an important meeting. I recommend putting a drop on your throat and a little on the outer ridges of your ears as well. As I said before, Believe is an excellent oil for improving our communication skills. Excellent communication includes our ability to listen, not only to others, but also to our inner wisdom.

Just as I began writing this blog, I received a call from a woman who attended one of my Aroma Yoga classes in Florida. She fell in love with Believe, purchased her own bottle, and ran out in just one month. She told me that without Believe she felt like something important for well-being was missing in her life.

If you haven’t experienced Believe yet, I hope you will take the opportunity to try it for yourself soon—there is definitely something incredible about it.

Here’s to the belief that we can all have peace, love, abundance, and excellent health in 2011!
Happy New Year!

Choose Your Attitude

Being happy in your own skin just might be the jump-start you need for the new year. Let’s be honest: There are negative influences that bombard our self-image every day. We all have one thing we would like to change about our bodies, career, home, school, etc. Take Palo Santo essential oil and rub it on the area of your body that you are struggling with to ward off negative thoughts. There are a few easy steps to think about while you are applying Palo Santo:

• Be Accepting—As you apply Palo Santo, the most important thing to remember is to accept yourself.
• Focus on the Positive—Setting positive goals is a great way to keep perspective. Realize that you might not be where you want to be yet, but you certainly are stronger.
• Take Time for You—After applying the oil, go out for a walk, to the gym, or just take time to relax.

• Self Importance—You need to appreciate yourself for who you are and not let yourself get caught up in the world’s fad of always having to be perfect.

Applying Palo Santo to the area where you are feeling negative emotions can go a long way towards helping your self-image.
Peace be with you,

Palo santo (Bursera graveolens) comes from the same botanical family (Burseraceae) as frankincense, although it is found in South America rather than the Middle East. Like frankincense, palo santo is known as a spiritual oil, traditionally used by the Incas to purify and cleanse the spirit from negative energies. Even its Spanish name reflects how highly this oil is regarded: Palo santo means "holy wood" or "sacred wood."
EarthKosher Certified
How to use: For topical use, apply 1-2 drops on affected area. For aromatic use, inhale directly as needed or diffuse/humidify for 10-15 minutes daily. Keep in a cool, dark place.

Caution: Possible skin sensitivity. Keep out of reach of children. If pregnant or under a doctor's care, consult your physician.

Super B for Better Health in 2011

Super B for Better Health in 2011

If you’re anything like me, you’ve most likely set a few New Year’s resolutions. Your goals may even be similar to mine—eat better, get organized, take vitamins and oils more regularly, and try to be more optimistic!

Would you believe that there is a nutritional supplement that can help support many of these worthy goals? Young Living’s Super B™ supplement is known for supporting healthy energy levels, enhancing your mood, and helping internal enzyme reactions that control circulation, hormone levels, and overall health. Super B also helps support normal, overall cardiovascular health and aids in normal digestive function. The benefits of Super B are wide reaching, and they not only affect your physical health, but also your overall outlook of life!

Young Living has recently improved the Super B formula to provide all eight essential B vitamins: B1, B2, B3, B12, B6, B7, B9, and its newest addition, B5.

Hello Essential Oil users.

With this blog, I hope to present the may uses of the hundreds of oils and other products that are available from Young Living. This is a company that really cares about the health and well being of their customers. They provide scientific reserch for their products, and all distributors have a huge health benefit from using the products in their own homes. I wish to share them with you as I am able to use them myself.

I have used Peppermint oil for many years as a natural pain reliever. I have recently began using Clove oil for that as well. Lavender oil has also been in my cabinet for many years as well as Tea Tree oil and Oregano oil. I will try to give precise use for these oils in my articles.

I want to close with this. God, from the beginning of time, has provided us with the ability to heal ourselves. Over time what God has created for that purpose (plants and animals) we have genetically modified and created into monsters that only do harm to our bodies. Young Living is harnessing what God created and using the essence of the plants and allowing us the ability to naturally heal ourselves again. Lets use what God gave us and create our own healthy homes and enviornments.

May God Bless you all with good health,
