When it comes time to studying for exams, no matter the age, sometimes focus, comprehension and clarity can be difficult. Simply inhaling any of these essential oils provides the brain with alertness and the ability to concentrate better.

Want good test scores: use the same essential oil during test-taking that you used during studying to facilitate recall!

The fragrance of a therapeutic-grade essential oil can directly affect everything from your emotional state to your lifespan. When a fragrance is inhaled, the odor molecules travel up the nose where they are trapped by olfactory membranes that are well protected by the lining inside the nose. Each odor molecule fits like a little puzzle piece into specific receptor cell sites that line a membrane known as the olfactory epithelium. Each one of these hundreds of millions of nerve cells is replaced every 28 days. When stimulated by odor molecules, this lining of nerve cells triggers electrical impulses to the olfactory bulb in the brain. The olfactory bulb then transmits the impulses to the gustatory center (where the sensation of taste is perceived), the amygdala (where emotional memories are stored), and other parts of the limbic system of the brain. Because the limbic system is directly connected to those parts of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels, and hormone balance, essential oils can have profound physiological and psychological effects.

"There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly." ~ R. Buckminster Fuller

I wanted to show you the value of the ‘Essential Oils Desk Reference’ – available at http://www.lifesciencepublishers.com The following is an excerpt demonstrating how this reference book is worth its weight in gold in terms of determining what to do and how to do it in regards to Young Living Essential Oils. This excerpt for the EODR is one of thousands that we refer to when using our Young Living Essential Oils.Tangerine essential oil

Edema (Ankle Swelling)

Swelling, particularly around the ankles, is noticeable when fluids accumulate in the tissue. This puffiness under the skin and around the ankles can be more apparent at the end of the day when fluids settle to the lowest part of the body. Also, a potassium deficiency can make swelling worse, so the first recourse is to increase potassium intake.

"There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly." ~ R. Buckminster Fuller

Everyone has experienced lasting adverse impressions that scar our inner self, prohibiting self growth and accomplishment. Inspired by D. Gary Young’s life experiences, the Feelings essential oil collection was designed to lift negative impressions and allow openness to new beginnings through the benefits of aromatherapy.

“Negative experiences and ideas are recorded in our brains and locked into our memories throughout our lives. These memories range from mild to extreme and have a profound effect on our health and happiness. In order to become who we are intended to be, we must erase these negatives and reprogram our thoughts to make positive ideas our reality.” ~ Gary Young

It has been said that when there is a conflict between reason and feeling, human beings will always side with feeling. According to Gary Young, “99% of life’s decisions are made from feelings.” Therefore, if you want your life to be guided by good decisions that lead to health, happiness, and fulfillment, you need to be aware of and in control of your present feelings and to learn how to release the repressed emotions of the past.

Most of our feelings from day to day are not responses to current happenings. They originate from the programming in cellular memory that was imprinted by the emotional experiences of our past that we were unable to understand, process, and resolve at the time.

By focusing on fixing your feelings, you can fix most aspects of your life… physical, mental, and spiritual. Essential oils and aromatherapy are perfect vehicles to help you in this task because their molecules pass directly to the emotional brain and can bring us into contact with the issues we have long forgotten and enable us to deal with them and resolve them.

Gary says, “Use the Feelings Kit. Apply feeling oils before work and every night before bed. Do this for 30 days and you will change your life.”

The Feelings Collection contains these 6 essential oil blends:

  • Valor
  • Harmony
  • Forgiveness
  • Inner Child
  • Release
  • Present Time

VALOR

Put Valor Oil on the soles of both feet at nighttime along with Highest Potential Blend. These blends are effective to erase limited thinking. Valor balances and equalizes the body’s energies thereby increasing oxygen intake to the pineal gland—the seat of our higher intelligence and intuitive faculties. You will wake up in the morning more self assured and more alive to start the day.

HARMONY

Massage one drop of Harmony Oil on each of the energy center points of your body. There are seven of them along the spine: Coccyx, Sacrum, Lumbar, Dorsal (heart), Cervical (where neck meets shoulders), and Medulla (hollow place at center base of skull), and Pineal (center of forehead). You can also massage Harmony on the crown of the head. Harmony balances the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems which, in turn, gives us progressive creativity and feelings of confidence.

“The biggest sin is not having confidence in yourself,” says Gary, “He who lacks confidence lacks life.”

FORGIVENESS

Apply Forgiveness Oil around the navel with the right hand going clockwise several times and think of situations where you need to forgive yourself or others. We beat up on ourselves, but everyone makes mistakes. Yet we struggle to forgive our own mistakes and those of others. Unforgiveness is one of the most common roots of physical, mental, and spiritual disease. Unforgiveness does not make the offending party sick. It makes us sick. Forgiveness is for our own benefit. It is accomplished in five steps.

  1. Forgive yourself for allowing the person to affect your health and happiness.
  2. Forgive the other person for any harm he or she may have caused you. (This need not be done directly with the person being forgiven, but is an inner adjustment on your part.)
  3. Give the other person permission to forgive you.
  4. See the good in the situation.
  5. Be thankful for the experience and the lesson it taught you.

Inhale and apply Forgiveness Oil while going through these steps and repeat as often as necessary toclear the feelings of unforgiveness.

RELEASE

Negative energy goes into the blood and then into the liver for cleansing where the toxins can remain trapped. Thus, the liver becomes a storage place for anger, resentment, bitterness, hatred, jealousy, envy, addictions, and a host of destructive feelings. Apply a few drops of Release Oil on your tongue to release the poisons of stored emotions from the liver. Rub Release over the liver area. Drink lots of pure water and do a liver cleanse.

PRESENT TIME

When we live in the past or dwell on the future, we are not being productive in the present. Energize three drops of Present Time by making clockwise circles on the oil in the palm of your hand and then apply it to your thymus (the gland just under your sternum or breastbone). Besides keeping you focused on the tasks of today, this can also help you financially by increasing your abundance consciousness in the present.

INNER CHILD

“When you are a child all things are possible. There are no limitations,” says Gary Young. “When you find your inner child, you have found your true self. The child in you is your creativity.”

Apply one drop of Inner Child onto the pad of your thumb and then place your thumb onto the roof of your mouth. This opens the cranial sutures and stimulates the pineal, pituitary, and other organs of the emotional brain that occupy the space just above the roof of your mouth. Walking backwards while you have your thumb in your mouth looks stupid but it changes the rotation in the pelvis, elongating the spine, and decompressing the discs in your back. Thus, you can clear the nerve channels for energy to flow smoothly throughout your brain and body.

Use the Feelings Kit morning and night for 30 days. You will feel enthusiastic. Your life will be full of excitement. And people will be drawn to you like a magnet. Thought equals frequency. Essential oils absorb our thoughts. They are registered in the oils as intent. Intent is directed energy. When you apply an intent-energized oil on your feet they can saturate all of your cells within 60 seconds, stimulating creative thinking and pushing negative energy out of the cells, thus increasing the frequencies of the cells throughout the body. In that uplifted state you can create a new desire to be better tomorrow. You have no limitations but those you choose to accept.” ~ Gary Young

Following the Feelings regimen, one can begin the path of self identification by aligning their emotions. This collection of essential oils provides the foundation for emotional health.

"There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly." ~ R. Buckminster Fuller

From perfumes and aromatherapy to cooking and medicinal purposes, essential oils have been a vital part of everyday life, dating back to 4500 BC. After personally experiencing the many benefits of essential oils, D. Gary Young, Founder and President of Young Living Essential Oils, began a personal campaign to promote the ancient healing art of essential oil therapy. The result? An abundant line of pure, therapeutic- grade essential oils, including over 140 single essential oils and unique essential oil blends, and the world’s largest community dedicated to achieving wellness via nature’s purest, most potent gift.

Essential Oils: Pure, Potent Plant Remedies

Uplifting, protective, calming, and regenerating, essential oils are a unique gift from the natural world. Often referred to as “nature’s living energy” or the very essence of a plant, essential oils are aromatic liquids derived from shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, and seeds. They not only determine the plant’s aroma, but are vital for plants to grow, live, evolve, and adapt. Essential oils also help defend plants from insects, environmental conditions, and disease. Today, research shows that when used aromatically, applied topically, or taken internally, essential oils can calm, energize, balance, purify, and rejuvenate the mind and body.

It is important to have Young Living’s therapeutic-grade essential oils on hand for your home and family. To help you get started, Young Living has a collection of nine of the most popular essential oils and essential oil blends for a wide range of uses and benefits. Try them in the following favorite everyday applications.

"There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly." ~ R. Buckminster Fuller

‘It’s not unusual to be loved by anyone?” Why these words popped into my thoughts when I began this article, I don’t know, but love is one way one can have anxiety and Tom Jones’ song, “It’s Not Unusual” does reflect in it’s lyrics how love can cause anxiety.

Better to not have anxiety, but most likely in our lives and any love situation, anxiety does come about.  Be it from, jealousy, dishonesty, health issues, financial, children, or family circumstances.

There are many different ways to help with our anxiety and to feel better, and I am only going to be touching on how Young Living essential oils may help you to feel relief from the anxious feeling you encounter in life.  Great news too, these essential oils not only may help you and others, but also any anxious pets you may have, they are undoubtedly pure and medicinal.  One little bottle will last for an insane amount of years.

Listen up hear, it is extremely important that you come to understand quality is tremendously important when using essential oils. Why? Because if they aren’t quality, than they won’t give you good results and could be harmful. Off topic, but you to need to know. Read the rest of this entry »

Helichrysum essential oilOne of the things I enjoy most about therapeutic-grade essential oils is that they give you so many options. For instance, because of their superior quality they can be used for things like making your own natural First Aid spray.

Please note that the essential oils discussed in this article are superior quality. Therefore, it is never recommended to use other brands the same way we use Young Living Essential Oils.

Essential Oil First Aid Spray

You’ll need:

  • 3 drops Young Living Lavender essential oil (#3575)
  • 3 drops Young Living Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) essential oil (#3587)
  • 2 drops Young Living Geranium essential oil (#3554)
  • 8 oz. distilled water
  • 4 oz. spray bottle

Add water and essential oils to spray bottle. Shake a little before using to suspend essential oils in the mixture. Spray whenever needed, avoiding eye area.

Additional Tip: You could use Helichrysum (#3563) essential oil in place of or in addition to the Tea Tree for a more powerful cell healing effect in your spray. Helichrysum is known for these properties; anesthetic, anticoagulant, antispasmodic, antiviral, helps regenerate nerves.

"There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly." ~ R. Buckminster Fuller

If you are a pet owner, you undoubtedly are very fond of your pets and want to take care of them as best as you can. For our selves we most likely try to eat healthy and stay away from harmful products as much as possible, along with hopefully choosing smarter and healthier ways to treat illness or injuries. Of course we want the same for our loved pets.

Have you ever wondered why pets eat grass? Perhaps you understand this is their way of settling their stomachs. Animals enjoy plants and these plants have all the nutrients of essential oils, but in very small quantities. So if you think about this, you may come to the assumption that essential oils would be as good for our pets, as they are for us. You are absolutely correct. As long as you are using quality essential oils and understand how to administer them to your pets. Why? Because quality essential oils are very powerful and a little bit goes a LONG way.

You may also be aware of foot reflexology and how the bottoms of our feet are connected to our body.  Well our pet’s feet work somewhat the same way.

There is a wonderful brochure: Oils & Pets, by Dr. Mary Hess, which can be purchased through CrownDiamondTools.com. You will be able to see the foot chart for animals and what oils are recommended for various ailments.
