Ningxia Red Testimonial and Lowered Insulin Levels

2014-06-13T17:05:00.000-07:00

My daughter-in-law related a testimonial about Ningxia Red that was shared with her by her boss. I would like to thank both of these women for giving me permission to share this information. Maybe it will help someone else who may be experiencing a similar situation:

"My boss went to the Young Living store in Spanish Fork after work to buy her Mom some essential oils to help her sleep. She needed help calming down because her husband just had surgery that day and she was feeling frazzled. He was currently suffering from dementia and the doctors didn't know how much longer he would last. At the time he was 6 feet tall and weighed less than 130 lbs and didn't eat very much. I understand how my boss felt when she told me about her father. Her story brought back memories of my grandma who weighed about 85 lbs when she died from Alzheimer's a few years ago.

My boss then related to me that her father was on a very high dose of insulin and no matter what medications they tried, the doctors could not seem to keep his blood pressure or blood sugar to a healthy normal range. They tried stress medications, different insulin doses and many other things to help lower his levels, but nothing worked. Finally, she told her dad that he was going to be her guinea pig and she was going to try something different with him. She had him drink Ninxgia Red from Young Living every single day and within a couple weeks they were able to take him off most of the medications, except the insulin which dose was significantly lowered! He drank the Ningxia Red for several months. Unfortunately he did not keep up with it, but she is grateful for the extra time that drinking the Ningxia Red and experiencing lowered blood sugar levels may have gotten her family with their father."

May Brunch and Good Food!

2014-05-13T16:37:00.000-07:00

Getting together with Young Living oilers is always a choice experience. We love eating and talking with each other. Here are some pictures from our latest brunch. Some oilers escaped the camera, drats!! Following the pictures are the recipes from our brunch. Enjoy!

Carrot Salad

Carrots are good for the eyes and when the core is cut it looks like the iris of an eye. Thieves oil is also supportive to good eye health. Just remember, never put essential oils directly into the eyes! Ouch!!

2 pkg grated carrots

1 cup raisins

1 tsp cinnamon - or more if you like it as much as I do!

1 drop Young Living Thieves essential oil blend

2 heaping tablespoons mayonnaise (I use Best Foods)

1 squirt liquid stevia

Stir, let sit for a few hours

Serves 10-12

Tomato Salad

Tomatoes are good for the heart. When sliced the inside of the tomato resembles the chambers of the heart. Rosemary supports good heart and blood function.

6 - 8 small to medium tomatoes diced

3 cucumbers, peeled and diced

1 diced red bell pepper

1/4 to 1/2 jicama peeled and diced

2 tablespoons dried parsley

sprinkle of garlic salt

3 - 4 toothpicks dipped into the Young Living Rosemary oil, then stirred into 3-4 tablespoons

extra virgin olive oil

Sprinkle the rosemary-olive oil over the salad, stir well.

Serves 10-12

Grapes

A bunch of grapes resemble the heart. Grapes are good for the heart.

Wash them well, then sprinkle with Young Living oils of Lemon and Orange.

Delicious!

Celery

Celery is good for bone support. Delicious with this easy to make peanut butter dip or non-dairy white sauce!

Peanut butter dip:

2 cups creamy natural peanut butter

2 tablespoons extra virgin coconut oil

1/4 cup Young Living Yacon syrup

1 squirt liquid stevia

8-12 drops Young Living Orange oil

Stir and dip!

Creamy white sauce:

Dip into this creamy white sauce, which is also good with rice, noodles,

or other fruits and vegetables:

1 cup Mayonnaise (I use Best Foods)

3/4 cup original unsweetened almond milk

2-4 tablespoons nutritional yeast

Garlic salt to taste

2 - 3 toothpick dips into Marjoram essential oil, also good for muscle and bone

Stir the marjoram into the dip. One drop is way too much! I dip a new toothpick through the

top of the bottle and then stir that into the mix. Use the amount that tastes good to you.

Whisk this together until thoroughly mixed. Cool then serve.

Sweet Potatoes

Cook 2 - 3 sweet potatoes, smashed

2 - 3 cups unsweetened pineapple tidbits

1 cup raisins

1 squirt stevia liquid

Young Living Coriander essential oil and lemon to taste. I used one drop Coriander, everyone seemed to like it. It was too strong for me. Coriander and sweet potatoes are good for pancreatic support.

Serves 10-12

Roman Chamomile and Bee Stings!

2014-02-12T12:18:00.000-07:00

Wow, this story is worth reading:

I received a bee sting on my knee a few days ago, yep, we have winter bees here. After all, we do enjoy weather in the 70's here in Arizona during the winter.

Anyway, I hurried and put the Young Living blend Purification on the sting thinking that would help. Nope. Then I grabbed the Christmas Spirit blend, no help there. The book said cinnamon bark would help and that's the oil with cinnamon that I had close at hand. By this time my knee is getting very red, and extremely painful. Wow, it's been a while since I had a bee sting! The essential oil books first recommendations were Roman Chamomile. I didn't know if I had any. I searched and found some in my bathroom. I only had one drop left! The instant I put it on the bee sting, the pain left, the swelling went down and the redness disappeared! After that I used basil, and an ice pack for some tenderness around the sting. It was completely healed in 24 hours.

Cool huh?

Bee sting before the Roman Chamomile, ouch!

Redness and pain was gone shortly after applying Roman Chamomile oil

The Learning Continues!

2013-10-01T14:44:00.000-07:00

Life is a continual stage of learning. I LOVE that! I love it when it's fun and easy and exciting. However, life's stage isn't always organized that way. In attending meetings and classes on wellness we can learn about handling the teaching experiences that often come our way, whether they are fun or difficult. I just ran across my notes from the last Young Living convention and realized I hadn't finished sharing some of the things that inspired me to be a better person. These are things that touched my intelligence and have helped me on my learning path. Maybe there is something here that can assist you in your stages of learning as well.

Concerning plants and essential oils:

1. Where does quality and purity begin? It begins with God, then man's management of the earth and His creations.

2. Embrace one new essential oil each month. Learn all you can about it, use it, enjoy it!

Concerning quality and purity:

1. The GC/MS method of testing is used to identify different substances within a test sample. It does not differentiate between organic or synthetic. You would need an Analytical Chemist and the right instruments to establish the difference between organic or synthetic essential oils.

2. How do you know you have the proper plant species? You need to work with the grower and ask "What is the seeds origin and how do you now it's not GMO?"

3. Aromatic plants cannot grow in acid soil! The pH of the soil must be 7 to 7.8 pH. for aromatic plants. Good oil = Good soil.

4. There is NO legal certification on essential oils yet.

Concerning Rosewood:

1. Gary is planting Rosewood on the new farm in Peru in 2014.

Concerning our Young Living farms:

1. We have 9 of our own farms and partnership with 14 other farms.

Concerning Indoor Pollutants:

1. There is one death every twenty seconds connected to indoor pollutants!

2. Every 14 seconds Poison Control gets a call from someone who has been accidentally poisoned.

3. The typical home has 63 hazardous chemicals.

4. There are 800 neuro-toxic chemicals in perfumes and lotions!

5. Baby bottles have phthalate esters, which are esters of phthalic acid used mainly as plasticizers. Plasticizers are substances added to plastics to increase their flexibility. According to a CDC report in 2009 this is the #1 cause of asthma!

6. Air fresheners are full of formaldehyde. Throw out all of your air-fresheners and hair sprays!

7. Recommended book "Vibrational Clearing."

8. Become Green Clean and Brain Smart, use the Thieves Cleaner!

Concerning Clint Walker:

1. "If I talked fearlessly, people listened."

2. "What is essential inside of us is essential in what we are doing."

3. "You have to figure out how to get to the essence - there is something essential in every gift God offers."

4. "EGO means we are Edging God Out. It keeps us from finding our essence".

5. "Live from that place of passion - my enthusiasm is my connection to God. I am now aligning myself to my purpose."

Cognitive Fitness

2013-07-19T16:59:00.002-07:00

At the Young Living Convention just held this past June 2013, I went to a class taught by Marc Schreuder, Vice President of Research and Formulations for Young Living. There were some interesting comments that he made I would like to share with you in this blog post. I hope something I share will help you on your wellness path.

1. As we age, we sleep less and less.

2. Don't take sleeping pills. They are as risky as cigarettes. According to the University of California at San Diego they take 4.8 years off your life.

3. There is a shortage in Rosewood oil. You can't get it anymore. Because of the shortage, governments won't export this essential oil.

4. Marc said to inhale your favorite essential oils, heat a mug, place a drop of essential oil in the warm mug, place your face over the opening and inhale. The essential oil will evaporate within five minutes.

5. Inflammation hurts the cognitive functions. Ningxia Red is one of the best foods to take to help the body heal.

6. Get off wheat and eat more greens!

7. Your calcium and magnesium need to be balanced. Take the MegaCal. It has a good balance.

8. A brisk walk after a meal is two times more effective!

Do yourself some good. Be happy, eat well, breathe deeply, and enjoy nature!

Learning From the 2013 Young Living Convention

2013-06-29T21:25:00.002-07:00

There were many things I learned at this past 2013 Young Living Convention. The information sure came quickly! Here are some things I learned:

Miscellaneous Tidbits:

1. Two Drops of lavender oil under the tongue five minutes before eating may support the stomach lining.

2. To assist nails that may have fungus, take two teaspoons alkalime with a little water, add 2 drops purification oil, then rub the nail with the mixture.

3. Valor has antihistamine properties

4. Life is based on structure, belief and behavior patterns. These behavior patterns are encoded in our DNA and in our memory.

5. Essential oils act like amino acids with an electrical charge.

6. Intensity produces a color frequency.

Darren Hardy, publisher of Success Magazine

1. To be successful takes hard work and is laborious, defeating, and not sexy!

2. There is no quick fix to success.

3. You cannot own success, you can only rent it. It is due every single day.

4. It's not what you know, it's what you do with what you know.

5. Success is not a result of heroic feats, grand acts of bravery, or quantum leaps. It's a result of small moment to moment, seemingly insignificant, choices. These add up to big differences!

6. Results are invisible, we don't always see the evidence of our choices. Be patient.

7. Our course isn't always a straight course, we need to make adjustments.

8. A poor choice is rewarded now, good choices take a while to see the rewards.

9. Jim Rohn once said that there are two pains, the pain of discipline or the pain or regret. The pain of discipline weights ounces. The pain of regret weighs tons.

10. Donald Trump once said that when in debt, do what you don't want to do!

11. Successful and non successful people hate to do what they have to do. The successful person does it anyway!

12. Give with NO expectations of return.

13. You are totally responsible for what you do, what you don't do, and responsible to what has been done to you. You are 100% responsible for the outcome!

14. It's not what you do, it's who you become.

15. If I want to have more you have to become more. Be the success person you desire to become.

16. Be the person you want to attract.

17. We become our habits.

18. Thomas Watson, President of IBM said that the key to success is massive failure!

19. Learn to love failure.

20. Michael Jordan said that he failed over and over in his life and that is why he also succeeded.

21. Do something every day that scares you!

Meeting Gary Young

2013-06-25T21:59:00.000-07:00

This past week my husband and I attended the Young Living International Grand Convention held in Salt Lake City Utah. It was a beautiful event filled with fun, music, entertainment and a brain full of information! During one of the workshops on the first day there while listening to Gary Young, the founder of Young Living Essential Oils, I had the impression to share my "Wall of Terror" story with him. I felt that he may like to know that the oils do work and his presentation last year in one of his workshops had a profound affect on me. My thoughts argued with me saying that Gary was far to busy to take time to listen to my story. I decided to turn it over to spirit and felt that if it was part of the divine will, Gary would be put in my path and the opportunity would present itself for me to share my story with him.

As the last workshop of the first day as convention was coming to a close, my husband and I sneaked out a little early to take a quick look at the Product Expo. When we entered the room guess who was standing there with his lovely wife? There stood Gary and Mary with only a few people standing by them. I whispered to Mary that I felt spirit had directed me here to tell Gary my testimonial about the oils. She made sure that I was able to share my story with Gary. When I finished he hugged and thanked me. Thank you spirit for that divine guidance and special experience. What a great way to start convention!

Some Tender Loving Care

2013-05-07T04:14:00.000-07:00

Some days are just difficult. There are challenges at work, illness, and maybe a few family issues. What do you do when everything seems to be going against you? Do you throw yourself on the floor and have a fit? Sometimes I feel like doing just that!

Here are a few suggestions to help lighten the load. These are things that I do when I am feeling down and out:

1. Call a friend. A listening ear can be a great help.

2. Eat a brownie, hehehe. I made brownies the other day and only ate two. No guilt, total enjoyment.

3. Watch a funny movie. I have a friend who was having a bad moment one day. I happened to stop by quite unexpectedly and found her crying. I told her to watch something funny to take her mind off things. When I called later to check on her she was watching Betty Boop Cartoons and feeling better! Way to go girl!!

4. Do something nice for someone else. This always helps lift my spirits.

5. If you can't leave what you are doing, take a few minutes to breathe. Quickly write down 10 things you are grateful for.

6. Grab an essential oil! Duh!! My granddaughter was having a difficult day a while back. What did she do? Well she just threw herself on the floor. It's what her sister did that was an act of love and kindness. Her big sister went for the oils, lifted up her sisters blouse and began administering love.

I hope you all have someone in your lives as caring as this big sister!

Blessings,

Laina

Baby Girl Tripped!

2013-04-25T07:23:00.000-07:00

Recent Testimonial from my daughter-in-law and precious granddaughter. So precious, I could kiss her:

Baby girl tripped on the stairs and landed head first on the concrete just before we left to pick up sister from school. She has a big bruise and knot on her forehead, the scratch was accidentally self inflicted this morning.

The second we got to the school we got her unbuckled and oiled up. "Mommy can you put Lavender on it? Can I smell it first?" So I let her smell it and then she said "I have to make sure it's lavender." I guess you rely on your sense of smell when you can't read... She says she's feeling much better after her oils.

Homemade Body Butter

2013-01-17T20:43:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow night there will be Ladies Night with Ningxia Red at my house! It will be fun sampling the new Ningxia Red and getting together just to visit. I decided that a great gift to give some of my lady team members is a foot soak and foot rub. This is a recipe that I created as foot body butter for after the foot soak. We will see how it turns out!

Here is the recipe:
1 ounce bees wax (Grated wax, not in a solid clump)
8 Tblsp Extra Virgin Coconut oil
4 Tblsp Apricot oil
4 capsules Evening Primrose oil
12 drops Young Living Carrot seed oil

I mixed this in a double boiler, melted the beeswax first, then added the other oils. After it cooled I added the carrot seed essential oil. Why Carrot seed oil? I read that it's good for the skin and the smell when mixed with the coconut oil is sweet and delicious!

***If you want to read a great blog, to to the Young Living blog. They just announced that one of our favorite essential oils that has always just been a roll on is now available in a 15 ml bottle. Can you guess what it is? Yep, it's the much loved Stress Away! http://blog.youngliving.com/

Animal Scents to the Rescue!

2012-12-13T16:12:00.001-07:00

I talked to one of my daughters last night and listened to her tell me the amazing story of her experience with the Young Living Animal Scents Ointment. Wow, animal scents to the rescue again! With her permission I will share with you what she told me.

My daughter has two adorable little boys, as you can see in this picture. Of course when one of them gets sick the other is soon to follow, and that is what happened this past week. When boy number one got a fever, he also broke out in a rash. Not too severe, but a rash non the less. She bathed her son and then rubbed some Animal Scents Ointment on his little body. Within a few days the rash was gone. Then boy number two got sick and being younger and lighter skinned, he broke out in a severe rash all over his little body! The rash was so bad it started to blister and mom was beginning to get very concerned. She bathed boy number two and slathered the Animal Scents Ointment all over, then put him to bed, monitoring his fever and condition often. In the morning she found that over 90% of the rash was GONE! She proceeded to apply the ointment the rest of the next day and found that it wasn't long before the rash had completely disappeared. Who would have guessed that would have happened?

I don't think I would have even thought to put the Animal Scents ointment on the rash. Animal Scents Ointment was created for use on animals, but we in our family like the scent and the way it helps our dry skin. Most of my children enjoy it's fragrance, which is lightly sweet with a gentle musky smell to it. It has a soft yellow color as you can see in the below photo. If you don't like the scent, may I suggest you try the Rose Ointment? I use it as much as I use the Animal Scents ointment. It just depends on which smell I want on my body at the time. Both of them have great ingredients!

Thank you for sharing this experience with us little mama. We can learn something new every day!

Shopping and Essential Oils to the Rescue!

2012-12-04T18:44:00.003-07:00

I love Christmas! What I really enjoy about it is the fun I have have with my family. Yesterday my daughter and I went shopping, all day. It's a two hour drive to our nearest favorite mall, but it is absolutely worth it.

This year we decided that instead of dragging all our gifts around with us, we would take periodic trips to the car to drop things off. It's a good thing because after the first few hours of shopping my arms started hurting. Out came the Young Living essential oils! First I rubbed the blend of Valor on our arms, shoulders, and back areas, mostly between the shoulder blades. Then I did the same with the blend Deep Relief. After that we put Stress Away on our wrists and behind our ears.

I ate too much too, yep, silly me. We went to the California Pizza Kitchen and had some delicious salads. If that wasn't enough, which it should have been but we WERE Christmas shopping, we went to a chocolate store and bought a chocolate covered apple that happened to come with the happy happy joy joy bonus of a free caramel covered, chocolaty nutty apple! These were not just any apples, these were gigantic Granny Smith apples. Yep, devoured those delicious morsels of mouthwatering goodness in record time! Then about thirty minutes later my belly began to feel a little off. Out came the peppermint oil and into my mouth went three big drops. In about fifteen minutes I felt much better.

Oh yeah, we were not quite done shopping at the mall so we stopped off at the Outlet Stores and had some more fun and food. Was it worth it? Sure was!

One of the largest Christmas trees, right here in my neighborhood. It's a sight to see!

The Joys of the Holidays

2012-11-29T11:00:00.000-07:00

I love the holidays because I enjoy eating good foods.

But more than that, I enjoy my friends and family.

This is my friend Brenda. She is an amazing person.

Currently she is helping with advertising for the new

TV Series called "The Rock" which is being filmed

right here in the Verde Valley.

Below you see our desserts and snacks, doesn't look like a lot

compared to when all the kids are home, but we had

leftovers for days.

The non dairy cheese cake on the right of your screen,

yep, was like tasting a sweet cloud of delicious goodness.

The fennel cookies to the left of your screen,

very addicting. And the date, coconut, almond meal

chocolate covered rounds, mouth watering!

I hid some in the freezer so my husband wouldn't

eat them all, hehehe.

Happy, satisfied and very full!

Team Thanksgiving Potluck Dinner

2012-11-08T22:20:00.000-07:00

It's hard to believe that our Team potluck Thanksgiving dinner was a week ago. We had a wonderful time eating foods cooked with the oils. The flavors just seemed to POP in our mouths. For our menu we had:

-Turkey cooked with marjoram, oregano and thyme oil

-Broccoli coleslaw with home made mung beans generously sprinkled with lemon oil

-Stuffing, sage flavored. It was a new non gluten brand of stuffing, one I had not used before, so I was a bit cautious. I did add the juice from the turkey to the stuffing, which had the oregano, marjoram and thyme oils in it. It was delicious!

-Tofu steaks gently seasoned with a touch of corriander essential oil, Brag Liquid Amino's and sesame seeds

-Limeade, my favorite all time drink now. We used fresh limes and the Young Living lime oil

-Ningxia Red with pineapple juice, a bit sweet. I recommend diluting the pineapple juice with a little water

-Coconut egg pie with chocolate melted on top, then sprinkled with coconut mixed with peppermint oil

-Balance Complete with Nutmeg essential oil, tasted like eggnog!

-Fennel non-gluten, non dairy cookies

-Coconut cookies with butterscotch chips and peppermint oil, yum!

-Lime meringue pie, another great lime recipe!

-Banana bunt cake made with coconut sugar and Cinnamon Bark oil, my FAVORITE dessert of the evening!

Here we are enjoying ourselves:

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

Member Spotlight: Dr. David Stewart

2012-11-06T10:07:00.001-07:00

I am choosing to do a Member Spotlight on Dr. David Stewart today because without him and his teachings, my life would not be as enriched and blessed. David Stewart is not a member of my Young Living team, but he is a member of Young Living, a cherished member by many. I had the opportunity of personally thanking him at the most recent convention. I remember when I walked towards him I saw tears streaming down his face, and I felt loved. When I asked him what the most important thing I could do to assist my personal team members was, he said to love them. He is a perfect example of love. In a recent Raindrop Messenger I received from him, he posted this article on love. Thank you Dr. Stewart!

1. LOVE IS A CHOICE

~^~^~^~^by David Stewart

How many of you are married and chose your mate because at some time you fell in love with that person? Now that you have been married for a while, are there times when you don't feel the affection toward your spouse you once did? Are there times when things said or done by your spouse upset you, irritate you, anger you, or cause you to temporarily dislike them? Do you and your spouse always agree amicably about everything?

We tend to think that we love a person in response to their behavior or demeanor because it is pleasing to us. Instead of proactive love that chooses those whom we anoint with our affection, we practice retroactive love that is in response to what we perceive others to be or do. In some languages, like English and German, the phrase we say is “I love you,” which is proactive. In some other languages, they say instead, “You are lovable to me,” which is retroactive. In the first instance, “you” is the direct object of the proactive verb, “love.” In this manner of speaking, the determining factor in loving is the lover, not the receiver of that love. In the second instance, the expression is in the reflexive form where “love” is not expressed as a verb but as an adjective. “You are lovable” because of something “You do or exhibit.” In the latter instance, the implication is that the determining factor in being loved is the beloved, not the lover.

Of course, regardless of the subtle syntax of one's native tongue, people tend to let their feelings of love fluctuate with the behavior of the receiver of their affections. But if we condition our love on the behavior of another person, then our love is going to waver from time to time according to the pleasure or displeasure we feel toward that person depending on their latest or current behavior. If that is the nature of our love toward our spouse, or toward anyone else, then it is not true love.

Who is the Initiator of Love?

I say “Love is a choice.” It is a decision. It is an action, not a reaction. Real love is a choice and a decision initiated and controlled by you, the lover, and not a response to the actions of the other person. We don’t wait for the other person to act in an endearing fashion before we give our love. We give true love because our nature is to be loving. It is an expression of our true selves, and not because of the qualities of the other person. It is not a matter of responding to the lovable or unlovable characteristics of the person toward whom we direct our affections. When we truly choose to love someone, we do so unconditionally no matter what the behavior of the other party now or in the future. Love is not earned. It can only be given freely and freely received.

I am privileged to bask daily in my wife’s love. I don’t deserve it. I didn't earn it. I have many unlovable qualities, but Lee loves me anyway. Even when she is irritated or upset with something I have said or done, she still loves me. Even if she needs to remind me of some negligence or thoughtless act on my part, she does so with good nature and in love. She made a decision years ago that I would be the man she would love for the rest of her life, for better or for worse, till death do us part and beyond. She said so in our marriage vows over 50 years ago and she has kept those vows in the deepest most spiritual sense.

Like many young people, when they fall in love and first get married, my intentions were good from the very beginning, but I did not have the maturity to live up to my intentions. I, too, took the same vows as did Lee, and as I grew and matured in our marriage relationship, I gradually realized, through my wife’s example, that love is a choice. She has chosen to love me, worthy or not. And I have also gradually become able to return her love on the same unconditional terms.

Negative Emotions Aren't Fun

I realized a long time ago that harboring anger, annoyance, irritation, resentment, hatred, bitterness, desires for revenge, or extreme dislike are not pleasant experiences and that these feelings are matters of choice on our parts. We choose to be angry, etc. No one makes us be that way. Others may provide the circumstances wherein anger or losing our temper would be justified by human standards, but whether we do or not is a choice, not a mandate. I decided that love, forgiveness, acceptance, gratitude, peace, and joy are better and definitely more pleasant. Instead of letting circumstances or the actions of others determine what and how I feel, I decided that with God's help I could choose all the good feelings. I don't need the bad ones. They serve no beneficial purpose for me.

Over the years, I have learned to stay tuned to God and keep my peace. I strive to constantly practice the presence of God and to remain even-minded regardless of the turmoil that may be all around me. If I want to have a good day, I can choose it. I don't have to allow the actions of someone else ruin my happiness. Choosing positive feelings is not denial of negative ones. When we feel angry, upset, or emotionally disturbed, we must honestly acknowledge our true state of feeling and deal with it, not try to deny or repress it. Although there are ways to release anger harmlessly, expressing anger does not have to be destructive and hurtful. Anger can be channeled in love with a positive result. Sometimes anger is a necessary expression of God, as seen in Jesus as he drove the unscrupulous money changers from the temple. (Matthew 21:12-13) When Jesus physically forced the dishonest vendors out of the place of worship, he still loved them. Sometimes my wife has to express anger toward me when I deserve it, but I know she still loves me and that I needed her upbraiding to open my eyes and turn me in the right direction. She has often been an instrument of guidance from God to me in that way.

When something my wife says or does that could bother or irritate me, I immediately start affirming repeatedly within myself: “I love her. There is nothing she can say or do that will stop me from loving her. Dear God I thank you for giving me the gift of such a loving wife. God let me think about what she is saying and if she is right, let me change myself and be gracious about it. She's my wife and I l ove her. Thank you. Thank you. . . etc.” I try to practice this form of invisible, inner discipline with everyone, not just my wife. By such action within myself, I can stay in a state of love, peace, and joy all the time. By practicing unconditional love toward my wife, children, and others close to me, I have learned to express that love to everyone I meet. People don't have to earn my love. I don't even have to know someone to love them. I simply exude it as I feel God expressing his love for everyone through me. It is a wonderful way to live.

God is Love

True love is Divine love. It is an expression of God's love. God loves each and every one of his children regardless of their behavior or state of consciousness. The sunshine of his love falls equally upon “the evil and on the good, and he sends rain on both the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Matthew 5:45) He doesn't wait until we come to deserve his love or meet certain requirements to earn it. His love is always there for the taking. We have only to learn how to open our hearts to receive it and express it. We are his loving creations and there is nothing we need to do to make him love us and nothing we can do to cause him to stop loving us. John, the beloved disciple, tells us (1st John 4:16), “God is love; and he that abides in love abides in God, and God in them.” Saint Paul describes the attributes of love for us (1st Corinthians 13:4-8), “Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.”

God's love for us is the result of his intrinsic nature. As his children, it is our true nature, too. God is love and it is his love that holds all matter and all creation together in manifestation and in order. When God created the universe and everything in it, including us, he chose to do so by the forces of love. To love your spouse and everyone by choice, without condition, you are expressing God's most essential nature and are in harmony with God and the Universe.

The Apostle John admonishes the early Christians, “Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love.” (1st John 4:7-8) We don't have to wait until circumstances or the behaviors of others merit our love. Love is a choice, independent of who or how others may be. That choice is entirely up to us.

What Does Love have to do with Oils?

This newsletter is intended to present information on essential oils and other natural healing therapies. So why are we featuring love in this issue? The subtitle of my book, “The Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple,” is “God's Love Manifest in Molecules.” The book is based on a number of scriptures as well as scientific data. Essential oils were created by God's spoken word before he created human beings. Yet the molecules of essential oils fit our cellular receptor sites so perfectly and administer so many benefits to us, I can only conclude that God was thinking ahead to when he planned to created people in his image. Intending that his people would be given free will, he knew they would not always follow the highest health laws and would need medicines to heal them and keep them healthy mentally, emotionally, and physically. Therefore, he began loving us before he even created us. Essential oils are the embodiment of God's love for us, but we have to study them and be receptive to them in order to receive the grace that he has instilled in them. Essential oils work on the righteous and the unrighteous alike. Like God, they are “no respecter of persons.” (Acts 10:34) Essential oils don't make judgments in deciding who may receive their benefits and who may not. They offer their healing powers to anyone willing to receive them, regardless of their social behavior, whether it be as a good person or a bad person. God's love is like that, freely available to all people, both good and evil. So that is one thing essential oils and love have in common.

For Lack of Love We Perish

The other connection between love and natural healing is that in the final analysis we get sick for lack of love, not that it isn't available to us, but that we don't express it in our daily lives. God's love is constantly shining on each and every one of us. If we don't receive it and pass it on, that is because we have not made ourselves receptive to it. The channel of our lives has not been cleansed and made open to the flow. God's grace and affection are available to all of us without our asking or trying to earn it. We just need to be open to it. It is our personal lack of openness to receive his grace that blocks its flow into and through our lives.

The alternative to living lovingly all the time is to harbor non-loving attitudes and inharmonious emotions such as un-forgiveness, bitterness, resentment, envy, fear, jealousy, hatred, intense dislikes, egotistic pride, desires for revenge or retaliation, etc. These are the emotions that form the root causes of almost all sicknesses and conditions. The antidote to all of these is love, not the love we seek to receive from God and others, but the love that we allow God to express through us to others. Receiving God's love and allowing it to flow through us to the world is not a matter of waiting until we “feel” right or until others act in a lovable manner to “deserve” to receive our love. It depends on our willingness to surrender to God and become a channel for him. That is a matter of choice, whenever we choose to let that happen. It is a decision. Although it comes through the heart, love is an act of will and commitment.

Thanksgiving Dinner

2012-11-01T19:56:00.001-07:00

Tomorrow night I am having a Thanksgiving Potluck dinner at my house for my oils team. I am really excited. Most of my team members live far away but there are a few of us local oilers who enjoy getting together on occasion. It will be fun to see what everyone brings. The deal is that everyone has to bring foods cooked with essential oils.

I love using the oils in my cooking. Tonight I am drinking one of my favorite beverages: limeade. I take the juice of one fresh lime, squeezed until I get EVERY drop of delicious juice. Then I add that to my water with a little sugar lite, which is sugar and stevia. To that I add 3 to 4 drops of the Young Living Lime oil, and a couple ice cubes. Oh my, my taste buds are in heaven!

I think I will make some for my guests tomorrow night. Not only will it be delicious, but it's also a good antioxidant and great for weight loss. If you are one of my local team members and are reading this blog but didn't hear about the dinner, come on over! The fun starts at 6:00, and help yourself to some limeade.

Sunburn, Alkaline Water and Oils

2012-10-30T18:41:00.001-07:00

Whenever I go to Utah to see the kids we always oil and play, eat and sleep, laugh and cry. Such an emotional bunch of humans, it's a blast! My daughter-in-law got severely sunburned this past visit, so much so that she looked a bit like a lobster, only on her face. The night of her over exposure to the sun, all us girls decided to do facials and hopefully offer her red hot face some much needed relief. It was so easy and fun too! Here is what we did:

1. I had all the girls wash their face with a soft and gentle face soap. I use the Young Living bar soaps on my face. Love them!

2. After all the makeup was washed off, everyone took a clean washcloth and soaked it in the 11.5 Kangen Alkaline water, then gently placed the wet washcloths on their faces. I have two Kangen machines and I ALWAYS take my extra machine with me on vacations!

3. After about five minutes we then took the wash cloths and soaked them in the 2.5 acid water. Smells like chlorine but NOT toxic. Wow! They could feel the water affecting a change on their skin almost immediately!

4. Then we soaked the wash cloths in the 5.5 water, which is the same ph balance as our skin. What a refreshing feeling this is on the skin. This was most delightful, with laughter and loves we soaked our faces!

5. After the water treatment I had the girls put some of my home made lotion on, which had Frankincense oil added to it. My lotion was a definite hit! Yep, good stuff my lotion. I use aloe vera gel, vegetable glycerin, Evening Primrose oil, lanolin, and a Young Living oil of choice. This particular lotion that we used happened to belong to one of my daughters, I made it special for her, and she wanted the Frankincense oil added to it.

The next day we said our goodbyes and left for home. It was about a week later that my daughter-in-law called me. With much enthusiasm and gratitude she told me when she gets sunburned it usually is a lot worse the next day, but to her surprise, the day after the facials and lotion, she had NO SUNBURN! Wow, that is fantastic news. Now I wash my face every night like we did with the girls and LOVE IT! I wake up with younger feeling skin that feels hydrated and soft. For someone my age that is wonderful and for my daughter-in-law, getting rid of her sunburn, well, that is priceless!!

Happy Halloween Everyone

A Utah Visit

2012-10-25T15:35:00.001-07:00

My daughter, her children and myself recently visited the Young Living Farm in Mona. It is so beautiful there. We enjoyed shopping at the store they have which is located on the farm. One of the most exciting purchases we made was the new Slique Peppermint Ice cream. Oh yes, it was yummy. I don't eat dairy but I did have a little nibble of this delicious treat.

I also came away with my purchase which included the free Inner Defense, Thieve oil blend and the Thieves Hared Lozenges. Those lozenges are wonderful. It just happened that I snagged a little cold this week and this purchase and the free products have come in really handy!

If you click on this link you can view more beautiful pictures and read about all the wonderful things they do there, as well as view some of the other farms Young Living has around the world:

Cold Be Gone!

2012-10-23T12:18:00.001-07:00

Well, my body told me the other day to slow down. I didn't. Then I got sick. Just a head cold though. Young Living has a sensational product called Sulfurzyme that is a LIFE SAVER! I am always amazed at how this helps my runny nose whenever I get a cold. I take about 3 capsules every two to three hours and WOW! My nose is no where near as runny, like a faucet, if you know what I mean. I love it!

I also take Inner Defense every four hours or so. I take it alone because it is sooooo hot that it would interfere with any other supplements. It is my favorite natural body immune support that I have EVER used. I love the stuff! I also take my vitamin C with the NEW NINGXIA RED, yummy delicious and satisfying when you are a sicky!! Trust me, you should try it some day and you don't have to be sick to like it.

So, Cold Be Gone, and soon, cuz I have lots feel good things to do!!

I Am the Mother of a Tough Mudder!

2012-10-18T13:54:00.000-07:00

I had the opportunity of going to Utah this past week to spend some time with my family. Life can be busy and I had a few commitments that week that needed to be re-arranged so that I could make this trip. The temptation was there to not go because of the work involved in changing my schedule, but I am glad I did a little finagling and went to Utah.

I am always met with happy faces, hugs and kisses. This trip was no different, only this time the faces showed more expressions of surprise because I didn't tell anyone I was coming. Priceless! My son's expression was the most choice of all for he started to cry when he saw me, and then we all cried. To be loved so much is the greatest gift anyone can have. My life is rich with these types of blessings.

During this Utah visit my son, son-in-law, and a couple of their friends, entered the Tough Mudder event held in a nearby city. With anxiousness and excitement these boys prepared for the unknown. Some of the obstacle courses were shown and viewed often on You Tube. They tried to keep somewhat hyped about a few of these events, like the Arctic Enema and the Electorshock Therapy. I was called upon several times to oil and Reiki some of their pre-existing aches and pains in their challenge areas like ankles, feet, and knees. They wanted to be in the best shape they could muster. I used the oils of Deep Relief and Peppermint on their tender spots hoping that some assistance towards healing was better than none.

It soon came time for the event and everyone was up at 5:30 am getting packed and ready to go. Most of the moms, including myself, stayed home with kids. Every hour we were given updates from the two girls that went to support the guys and take pictures. One hour passed, then two, then three, then we heard word that one of the guys wrenched his knee, another sprained his wrist, and another hurt his foot. They were now limping along at a steady, slow pace, just hoping they would be able to finish the event. Finally after six hours of grueling torture, they limped across the finish line muddy, exhausted and frozen to the bone!

The first thing they did when arriving home was shower, then eat. As soon as all the injuries were taken care of, yep that's right, me and my PanAway, then we all sat down to watch the show. Wow, talk about a crazy day! I am so proud of our boys for the effort they gave for this event. They entered the course with high expectations, not in the best of shape, and finished as a team showing throughout the day how much they cared and supported each other. When asked if it was worth it, my son said "Yes mom. It was." Will they do it again? At first they said no, but now that some days have passed, they are all saying "Yes!", and so are my daughters!

Above is my son TJ on the left, my son-in-law Jeremy who is in the middle, and Al on the right
