Love

You are currently browsing the archive for the Love category.

A powerful essence connects us to the spiritual, to the divine. A sacred fragrance can open pathways, encourage self-love, and clear distractions. Now our hearts can communicate with that which is holy. Now our minds can hear the whisper of peace that will bring us comfort and enlightenment.

Embarking on a spiritual journey of transformation by aligning and balancing your energy through the use of therapeutic-grade essential oils is a powerful way to bring yourself into emotional balance. Integrating awareness of the physical through the application of these essential oil blends from Young Living Essential Oils formulated to help you attain a higher spiritual frequency.

For centuries, spiritual seekers have used essential oils, incense and fragrances to help them focus and create sacred spaces that enhanced their ability to connect with the Divine. It is an interesting fact that diverse ancient cultures that had no way of mingling chose many of the same fragrances and aromatherapy oils to intensify their communion with the Spiritual Realm.

The essential oils listed below are Young Living blends that are specifically chosen to enhance a person’s ability to become more aware and receptive to Spirit. These blends are believed to possess vibrational frequencies that affect the physical and energetic bodies, removing blocks and balancing energies to experience greater “vision” or to “hear” with more clarity. The frequencies of these oils enhance perceptions that enable you to feel a greater Oneness with Spirit.

5 Ways to Use Aromatherapy in Your Practice

  1. Inhalation: this is perhaps the simplest way to gain benefits from aromatherapy. open the bottle and either inhale directly or place a drop in your palm, rub palms together, then cup palms over the nose and inhale deeply a few times.
  2. Diffusing: put several drops of your chosen aromatherapy oil in your diffuser, diffuse 15-30 minutes, 3-4 times a day. More on Diffusers and Diffusing.
  3. Topical: place a drop or two of your chosen essential oil on pulse points, Chakras, or on the soles of the feet.
  4. Massage: combining massage with essential oils is one way to get powerful releasing results. Mix 4-7 drops of your chosen essential oil with 2 TBSP of a carrier oil, such as V-6 Massage Oil.
  5. Bath: mix 4 drops of your chosen essential oil with 1 cup of Epsom Salts or Sea Salt, pour salt mixture under running bath water, soak for 20 minutes.

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

Over a decade ago, I studied ‘Space Clearing’ with Denise Linn as part of my classical Feng Shui Training. I was reading some old articles and emails from 2008 and came across this one (below) that Denise had written.  Denise was one of the people in my life who have helped me on my spiritual path and shared with me empowering tools that I will carry with me forever.  Denise has since moved on to teaching Soul Coaching, perhaps you’ll find this story as spiritually moving as I do…Healing energy from hands

The Warrior’s Code

Last week I was on a flight into San Francisco and I surreptitiously noticed the young man sitting next to me in the middle seat. He radiated a calm centeredness. He didn’t seem to be squirming in the struggle for “personal boundaries” that so often accompanies those who are stuffed into tight middle seats. As I’m always intrigued to find out what beliefs are held by those who seem at peace, amidst the chaos of everyday life, I engaged him in conversation.

He explained that he was a Marine and had been stationed four different times in Iraq. He said his life was often in peril and there were many times when buddies, on either side of him, had been killed or seriously wounded. I couldn’t understand how someone—who had been in that much constant danger and who had seen so many violent deaths and carried shrapnel in his arms—could be so at peace.

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

I found this inspirational story in my files, years ago I saw it on the internet and saved it from questforbalance.com – what does this story mean to you? Leave a comment below.

Inspiration from Paulo Coelho: Two Drops of Oil

A merchant sent his son to learn The Secret of Happiness from the wisest of men. The young man wandered through the desert for forty days until he reached a beautiful castle at the top of a mountain. There lived the sage that the young man was looking for.

However, instead of finding a holy man, our hero entered a room and saw a great deal of activity; merchants coming and going, people chatting in the corners, a small orchestra playing sweet melodies, and there was a table laden with the most delectable dishes of that part of the world.

The wise man talked to everybody, and the young man had to wait for two hours until it was time for his audience.

With considerable patience, he listened attentively to the reason for the boy’s visit, but told him that at that moment he did not have the time to explain to him the Secret of Happiness.

He suggested that the young man take a stroll around his palace and come back in two hours’ time.

“However, I want to ask you a favor,” he added, handing the boy a teaspoon, in which he poured two drops of oil.

“While you walk, carry this spoon and don’t let the oil spill.”

The young man began to climb up and down the palace staircases, always keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon. At the end of two hours he returned to the presence of the wise man.

“So,” asked the sage, “did you see the Persian tapestries hanging in my dining room? Did you see the garden that the Master of Gardeners took ten years to create? Did you notice the beautiful parchments in my library?”

Embarrassed, the young man confessed that he had seen nothing. His only concern was not to spill the drops of oil that the wise man had entrusted to him.

“So, go back and see the wonders of my world,” said the wise man. “You can’t trust a man if you don’t know his house.”

Now more at ease, the young man took the spoon and strolled again through the palace, this time paying attention to all the works of art that hung from the ceiling and walls. He saw the gardens, the mountains all around the palace, the delicacy of the flowers, the taste with which each work of art was placed in its niche.

Returning to the sage, he reported in detail all that he had seen.

“But where are the two drops of oil that I entrusted to you?” asked the sage.

Looking down at the spoon, the young man realized that he had spilled the oil.

“Well, that is the only advice I have to give you,” said the sage of sages: “The Secret of Happiness lies in looking at all the wonders of the world and never forgetting the two drops of oil in the spoon.”

"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

Benefits of Aromatherapy and why it is Empowering: Our sense of smell is 10,000 times greater than our sense of taste. When we smell a scent it stimulates nerves in the nose and sends impulses to the brain, going directly to our olfactory to the limbic system, which is our connection to our emotions in the brain. Aromatherapy with therapeutic essential oils can compliment other therapies and play a significant role in assisting us when we are just feeling a bit off, stuck or need a little help getting to the emotional place we wish to be in. Using therapeutic aromatherapy is a means by which we honor and display love to ourselves.Grounding Essential Oil Blend

Try Grounding™ essential oil blend when you are feeling emotionally disconnected and somewhat unstable. Grounding is a relaxing and balancing blend of essential oils that provides a stabilizing influence. Emotional chaos can lead to poor decisions. Grounding™ may help you to cope with reality in a positive manner.

Grounding™ contains the essential oils of:

Spruce (Picea mariana) helps to open and release emotional blocks, creating a feeling of balance and grounding.

White Fir (Abies concolor) creates a feeling of grounding, anchoring, and empowerment.

Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata) increases relaxation; balances male and female energies. It also restores confidence and equilibrium.

Pine (Pinus sylvestris) helps reduce stress, relieve anxiety, and energize the entire body. Has a grounding, yet empowering aromatic effect.

Cedarwood (Cedrus atlantica) is high in sesquiterpenes, which can stimulate the limbic part of the brain, the center of emotions and memory. It stimulates the pineal gland, which releases melatonin, thereby improving thoughts, cognition, and memory. Cedarwood has been used for stabilizing and grounding oneself.

Angelica (Angelica archangelica) helps to bring memories back to the point of origin before trauma or anger was experienced, helping us to release negative feelings.

Juniper (Juniperus osteosperma and J. scopulorum) elevates spiritual awareness creating feelings of love and peace.

4 Ways to Use Grounding™ Essential Oil Blend

  1. Topically: Put 1-2 drops in your palm and dab fingertips in the essential oil to put behind ears, wrists, base of the neck, temples (avoiding eye area) or at the base of the spine.
  2. Massage: Mix 3-5 drops of Grounding™ essential oil with 1 TBSP V-6 Massage Oil for a full body massage.
  3. Bath: In a small dish combine 1 cup Epsom Salts or Sea Salt and 4 drops Grounding™ essential oil, mix together well, add to running bath water. Soak for 20 minutes.

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

A fresh smelling environment is so much better than a stale or stinky environment.  Wouldn’t you like to know that when you choose to “clean” up the smell in your surroundings that you were breathing in natural scents, rather than scents that are full of toxins and chemicals? There is a way to freshen the air naturally, and to be safe for you breath and to be be Eco-friendly for the environment.

Using Young Living’s therapeutic grade essential oils in your home environment is a way to add oxygen and cut down on overgrowth of unwanted microbes such as fungus (mold and mildew), pathogenic viruses, and bacteria.

The best way to address unwanted things in your air is by using a cold-air nebulizer diffuser and therapeutic-grade Young Living essential oils undiluted. (Read more about diffusing)

A cold-air nebulizer diffuser puts a micro-fine mist of the essential oil into the air and allows the mist to permeate your room(s). Only cool air is used and recommended. Never use heat – such as a candle, burner, or a light bulb ring on your therapeutic oils. Heat destroys the therapeutic qualities of the essential oil – heat fractures the molecules.

Therapeutic-grade essential oils also have well-documented antiviral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties – to further improve indoor air quality.

Essential Oils and the Seasons

During different times of the year certain scents benefit us emotionally, as well as, addressing issues that can occur more frequently during each season. Read the rest of this entry »
