Essential Emotions Blog Series #6

As we discussed earlier, the mind and the body are interconnected. Ideally, we want to be as proactive and preventative with our health (physical and emotional) as possible. So, it is the commitment to a healthy diet, exercise, stress management, and reducing toxic load as part of everyday lifestyle that give us a solid foundation of true wellness-not simply the management or alleviation of symptoms.

Even though essential oils are truly miraculous, they are part of a total wellness plan. A lifestyle of prevention is the best cure. In fact, 80% of health issues can be prevented by practicing daily health habits. We have 100% control of the lifestyle we choose to embrace!

Essential oils are most effective when combined with good nutrition, digestive health, and proper circulation.

As we mentioned previously, eating right is the foundation of our wellness. Unfortunately; however, Science has demonstrated that our diets are inadequate to provide the necessary levels of nutrients for optimal function.

The fruit and vegetables our grandparents ate had more than 75% more nutrients than what we eat today. Even if you consume a ton of spinach every day, for example, it is impossible for you to get the nutrients you need from the food because the nutrients in that spinach has been depleted by pesticides, soil, and processing. Even the very best eaters need help with vitamins and minerals. For that reason, dōTERRA® has made available Lifelong Vitality Supplements.

The Lifelong Vitality Pack (LLV) is a daily supplement trio that lays a strong foundation for physical and emotional health. It provides an excellent source of minerals, micronutrients and healthy fats.

Together, these 3 supplements provide us with the daily cellular support they need for us to FEEL GOOD, emotionally and physically:

xEO MEGA provides 9 essential oils and omega fatty acids to the “3 brains”…supporting brain nourishment, heart and circulatory health, and digestive functioning.

Alpha CRS+ contains potent antioxidants that promote chemical communication in cellular pathways.

Microplex MVp is your vitamin and mineral supplement. It provides optimal levels of micronutrients for immune function and energy.

Without going into a lot of detail about how the supplements work, I will tell you what they do for you and your body. They are formulated with potent levels of essential nutrients and powerful metabolic factors for optimal health, energy, and longevity. They decrease inflammation in the body, improve cognitive function and concentration, increase energy levels, and improve mental and emotional well-being.
I’ve had a few people reach out to me in confidence about their constant state of worry.

I feel for them! No one should have to live with a cloud over their heads and self-doubt on their shoulders.

If you constantly worry if you’re making enough money, if you’re making your parents proud, if your kids are healthy and happy, if you’re getting the most out of life, etc., then I want you to reach out to me.

No judgement will be passed. No philosophy will be poured down your throat. Just a discussion between friends, 1 on 1.

I, too, have felt worry. I, too, have seen that cloud above my head.

The changing point was essential oils.

Was I skeptical? Yes.
Was I worried? Yes.
Was I impressed by the results? YES!

Nothing changes if nothing changes. Give the oils a chance because that’s exactly what you deserve… A CHANCE!
So you might ask,
“What now?”
“How do I know what to use?”
“How do I get started?”
I want you to know that you are never alone on your Essential Oil journey. I will personally be here to guide you every step of the way with answers to your questions, resources, and introductions to other people who are on this journey with us.
In addition, I have a really special email series that I send to all new oil users that lays a foundation of knowledge and awareness for incorporating Essential Oils into their lives.

Essential Emotions Blog Series #5

Have you ever wondered why Aromatherapy works?

It seems almost too good to be true… but it’s 100% real!

More and more families and health professionals are relying on the power of Aromatherapy to change-lives. It works because essential oils are essentially a mixture of aromatic compounds (with more benefits than just smelling nice) that interact with the receptors in the nose which directly link with the limbic system of the brain (where scents are processed).

In layman’s terms… these scents can trigger strong emotions and memories that will take us to a certain state of mind.

If your mother’s “famous” lasagna makes you feel excited, take a whiff of Oregano oil.
If your grandfather’s stash of exotic tea makes you feel at ease, take a whiff of Roman Chamomile.

If you don’t have (or know of) a specific scent that will trigger your desired emotion, I highly recommend Motivate, Cheer, Passion, Forgive, Console, or Peace from the mood oil blends collection which are also available in a handy kit.

A simple whiff or drop of oil goes a long way… be careful not to underestimate its ability to perform!

What scent holds a special key to your heart?
So many emotions go through our minds during special occasions… (Not because of the occasion itself, but because of the family drama that tends to ensue!)

Sure, we’d all love to live in a perfect world where both sides of the family are best friends with each other, everyone enjoys the same sports teams, and the food is never burnt.
But let’s be honest, it’s never this perfect!

People are late, awkward, in disagreement, judgemental, hangry (angry from hunger), and as they see it, always right and never wrong.

What a recipe for disaster! (Or so I thought for the longest time…)

It’s actually relatively simple to relax your guests and get them focused on the reason they came together for the day and while I could recommend a group hug or a viewing precious moments saved from grandpa’s old camcorder, the real answer is a diffuser and some essential oils.

Before everyone arrives (and before you start getting uneasy yourself), place a few drops of dōTERRA®’s Serenity essential oil blend into your diffuser and let the machine do the work.

Guests will walk in complementing the welcoming smell and will likely become pleasant guests you won’t mind having over again. (Thank goodness smell is the fastest way to affect mood!)

The diffuser is great because you don’t need to check on it often as most can be set on 2, 4 or 6 hours.

Serenity is my go to for family get togethers but Chamomile, Lavender, Frankincense and Bergamot oils will have the same effect on relaxing yourself and your guests.

I also love to apply my ‘Go With The Flow’ protocol to each member of my family:

1 drop of dōTERRA® Cypress on the spine and solar plexus
1 drop of dōTERRA® Deep blue on the neck
1 drop of dōTERRA® Peace on the belly

Getting engaged. The birth of a child. Fantastic health news.

These are all moments where we would love to make our elation last as long as possible.

While we can’t stretch out the day, we can build libraries of scents associated with specific memories. These associations can trigger those welcomed emotions with the drop of an oil.

For instance, diffuse the Passion blend on your wedding day. The thoughts and happiness of the milestone will be re-lived on every anniversary when you diffuse Passion again. (It’s so much better than eating year old cake!)

What events are coming up in your life that you would like to recreate with oils?

Believe it or not, YOU MATTER.

You matter to me, to your friends and family, to those who idolize you, and even to those you merely walk by and hold the door for or smile at.

So if you could make someone else’s day, why might you be struggling finding happiness on your own?

The number of reasons why you may be unhappy is alarming, but there is something that can make your days so much brighter…

Affirmations with Essential Oils!!!!

Please don’t roll your eyes, this works, and it is easy to test because if you are willing to start this process for 7 days with an open mind, the right affirmation for you, and my specific affirmation protocol, you will notice the difference.

2 drops of dōTERRA® Motivate on your chest
2 drops of dōTERRA® Balance on each of your feet
2 drops of dōTERRA® Frankincense and dōTERRA® Lemon in water
1 drop of dōTERRA® Whisper on your wrists and then cup in your hands and inhale

Once you complete this process, boldly state your words of affirmation and you will start to feel like you REALLY matter — because you do!

Have you ever been on a date with someone who was mean to the waitress?
How about being friends with someone who constantly negates your happiness?
Perhaps you’re related to someone who is unable to appreciate a compliment?

These are all signs of a truly unhappy person.

Don’t get me wrong, they don’t WANT to be unhappy, but they don’t know where to turn.

You have the power to show them that joy is possible and that THEY ARE NOT WORTHLESS.

You should share my favorite Irritation Remover procol:

– 3 drops of dōTERRA® Terrashield on their chest (Really cake it on the chest and don’t worry, it’s diluted!)
– 1 drop of dōTERRA® Serenity on their heart
– 1 drop of dōTERRA® Peace on their solar plexus

No matter what life-altering experience they have been through, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and there is great news.

Essential Oils is nature’s way to support their mood, bring a smile to their face, and create peace in their lives.

You don’t have to have it “all figured out” to take tiny steps towards progress.

Start your day enlightened and end your day relaxed no matter what life throws your way during the day.

Diffusing oil blends like dōTERRA®’s Citrus Bliss is an empowering way to wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day. (If you have trouble getting out of bed, try placing the oil in the diffuser the night before and programming your diffuser to start a few minutes before your alarm.) It’s a great way to feel less groggy even before your first cup of joe!

After a long day, spray a mist of lavender oil and Ylang Ylang on the bed for a quick drift into serene dreams.

I always recommend keep the dōTERRA® Emotional Aromatherapy™ System handy because it includes:

– dōTERRA® Motivate®
– dōTERRA® Cheer®
– dōTERRA® Passion®
– dōTERRA® Forgive®
– dōTERRA® Console®
– dōTERRA® Peace®

Here are a handful of uses:

– Add these oils to your diffuse to experience aromatic benefits
– Apply 1 or 2 drops in your palms, rub hands together, cup in front of your nose, and inhale deeply (do not touch eyes).
– Dilute the oils and then apply topically to aromatherapy touch points such as the back of the neck, on the wrists, and over the heart.

Remember, the universe may control your day but you control how you handle it.

(I am going to dig into the benefits of aromatherapy next week!)

Essential Emotions #3

I’m tired of cleanses that falsely claim to bring “life-long vitality” and “overnight success” and I feel bad for the people who fall victim to this mentality only to be upset after not seeing the promised claims.

The truth is THERE IS NO ONE CLEANSE THAT WORKS OVERNIGHT to make you like superman or superwoman. It takes time, daily effort, and a life-long commitment to altering your lifestyle.

A content mind and a strong heart start with a consistently clean and properly nourished gut. (Remember the “3 brains” I posted shortly before)

Did you know that digestive functions are scientifically linked to mood fluctuations?
CRAPPY FOOD = CRABBY MOOD!

It is important to have a regular rhythm of cleansing for your gut because this will help restore healthy physical function AND it is necessary for clear thinking and maintaining a balanced mood. I want to reiterate a state that I shared earlier…

90% of your body’s serotonin is produced in the gut!

dōTERRA® has an extremely powerful and effective protocol for you to incorporate into your life with the goal of cleansing your gut, clearing your mind, and improving your mood.

*PB Assist – Offers a unique, safe, and effective way to deliver the well-recognized digestive and immune system support benefits of probiotics

*TerraZyme – Includes a variety of whole-food enzymes that help with the digestion of proteins, fats, complex carbohydrates, sugars, and fiber.

*GX Assist – Provides a natural but powerful cleanse of the GI tract.

*Lemon oil – Naturally cleanses the body and aids in digestion

*Zendocrine Detoxification Blend – Supports the healthy cleansing and filtering functions of the liver, kidneys, colon, lungs, and skin

In addition to the gut cleanse from above, make wise food choices and move your body during the day – both of these activities will support the consistency of your mood.

*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

As an human-being, I know how stressful life can be.

One minute things can be just peachy while the next minute everything can feel like things are falling apart. It’s in these moments where I’m more-than-grateful to have essential oils by my side.

They are like my fuel….
If I need a boost in confidence, I diffuse Frankincense.
If I need a boost in courage, I massage Peppermint on my wrists.
If I need to calm down, I pop open the Serenity Blend.

I always recommend using dōTERRA® Balance blend which contains Frankincense.

Here are a variety of ways to use this powerful oil:

– Wake up each morning and put Balance on the bottom of your feet to promote feelings of calmness and tranquility through your day.

– Apply dōTERRA® Balance to your wrists and neck whenever you have feelings of uneasiness or stress.
– Hidden Gem!!!! Diffuse in your car during road trips to create a calming, soothing environment.

A few moments of quick thinking with essential oils and I’m back to being my best self.
Cool, calm, and collected, ready to overcome the problem and maintain my mood.

They say happiness is contagious, and many times this is true.

But some people have more difficulty than others being satisfied with their emotions even if they have everything they need to live a happy, productive life. This is where Essential Oils step in!

They work, plain and simple:
1 drop of pure essential oil contains 40 MILLION TRILLION molecules that can service every cell of the body within minutes.

Oils are dynamic

Not only do they support your body physically with regular, healthy cell functions, but they also support our emotional state of mind which is why my customers are satisfied, life-long advocates (and even new friends).

100% natural

Essential Oils are derived from sustainably harvested plants from their respective natural origin. dōTERRA® has the purest oils available through their Cō-Impact Sourcing® program making it a no-brainer when choosing a quality oil that will deliver on results and not hurt the earth.
One of the challenges that people often share is that they do not feel at peace. Can you relate with this feeling?

We must create happiness starting with ourselves at the molecular level if we aim to think bigger, lead happier families, and embrace happiness globally.

What I am proposing is not a new solution, yet one that is centuries old.
If everyone found inner peace with sustainably sourced essential oils (keep in mind that 1 drop of oil has 40 million trillion molecules), then collaborating together to find global emotional satisfaction and balance would be an easier feat to embrace.

One of my favorite Essential Oil recipes to help bring peace into my life is my Feelings of Sadness Protocol:

Diffuse
4 drops of dōTERRA® Wild orange
4 drops of dōTERRA® Lemon

1 drop of dōTERRA® Elevation on your chest
1 Drop of dōTERRA® Balance balance on your feet
1 Drop of dōTERRA® Balance on your solar plexus (under ribs)

If you are not emotionally strong on a molecular level, even a room full of your favorite things will bring you little joy. Find your bliss, joy, and excitement again with oils that inspire empowerment, trigger cherished memories, and create a newfound sense of emotional freedom.

I hate seeing people who have the limitless potential to live with joy, abundance, gratitude, and success walk around in a dark and dreaded place because their emotions are ruling their lives.

It is so unfortunate because these people have the natural gift to contribute and receive yet they often feel stuck and frustrated.

Overwhelm kicks in…
Doubt emerges…
Fear debilitates.

My frustration reaches a new level when these beautiful people seek out solutions and are introduced to harmful and ineffective tools that lead to even more discomfort.

There is a BETTER WAY + YOU DESERVE MORE!

My goal during our time together today is to share specific strategies and protocols to make you emotionally strong!

Essential oils are effective! They are highly concentrated and 50-70x more powerful than herbs. Respect the oils – a little goes a long way!

dōTERRA® essential oils work at the cellular level because the molecules are so small that they can penetrate the cell wall to kill virus’ and bacteria. (Just as a comparison, antibiotics cannot do this as they cannot penetrate the cell membrane.)
If anyone wants to know more about the science behind oils, you can check out dōTERRA®’s Science Blog.

There are three ways to use essential oils:

1.) Topically

When you apply your oils to areas of the body that need support, they reach the bloodstream within 20 seconds and are then distributed throughout the body within 20 minutes. It’s best to dilute the oils in fractionated coconut oil to avoid skin sensitivity and ALWAYS dilute for children.
The bottoms of the feet are a great place to apply the oils as it’s the most porous section of the skin allowing for quick absorption. You can also apply on the back of the neck or along the spine.

2.) Aromatically

Put a drop in the palm of your hands, cup your hands to your nose and inhale – WOW!!!!

Diffusing is also a great way to get benefits from the oils. They can support respiratory functions and enhance moods.

3.) Internally

dōTERRA® is the ONLY brand of oil I would trust to use internally. Please do not assume it is okay to use any brand of oil internally as purity varies greatly. If safe for consumption, the bottle will clearly be labelled if it is approved for internal use. Once you are assured of quality, you can add one drop to your water or tea. I like any of the citrus oils for this as it helps me drink my daily recommendation of water.

In the coming weeks I will be sharing about how to use essential oils for emotional wellness. Essential oils in no way are to replace any medications you might be on. doTERRA very much insists you talk and work WITH your doctor to get the best plan in place. If that means a prescription as well as oils then great. I am NOT a doctor, but I am an oil user and love that I have options.
