There’s a great Essential Oils Summit going on all this week, from May 11 – 18, this Monday to next Monday.
I first became exposed to and started using Young Living Essentials Oils in 1997, and have never stopped. They are now very much a part of my own everyday lifestyle, and have been instrumental in my own spiritual, emotional, mental and physical well-health.
Now that I live in Hawaii, shipping products is an altogether different story than it used to be. I used to be able to place my regular monthly order with Young Living, and 4 – 5 days later getting it at my door.
No more!
Now, if I want anything sent quickly, it’s got to be the 2 – day Fed-Ex route. And coming to Hawaii, that isn’t cheap.
But I didn’t always know that.
When it came time to replenishing my Power Meal once I had run out, I chose “Parcel Post”. Oh Boy. What a mistake. Do you know how long it took to get here? 6 WEEKS!
During that time I was waiting, I realized my energy levels were low. I could tell I was missing something nutritionally that I couldn’t put my finger on! I had to sleep more, and even started taking naps! OMG I thought I was going to just melt down into nothing!
I kept asking the post office when my package would arrive… I was eating all kinds of crazy things for breakfast: cereal, pastries, bacon and eggs… like every day. Bacon and eggs! It’s fine on the weekend, but every day? Not so much…
I never realized how much good this product was doing for me!
Mmmmmm good.
I never want to go without having Power Meal again!
Do yourself a favor and invest in the right nutritional supplements that are really good for you, and over the years you will see the anti-aging effects of what taking good care of your body can do!
Lavandula angustifolia
Lavender has a fresh, sweet, floral, herbaceous aroma that is soothing and refreshing. Because it is the most versatile of all essential oils, no home should be without it. Lavender is an adaptogen, and therefore can assist the body when adapting to stress or imbalances. It is a great aid for relaxing and winding down before bedtime, yet has balancing properties that can also boost stamina and energy.
Therapeutic-grade lavender is highly regarded for skin and beauty. It may be used to soothe and cleanse common cuts, bruises, and skin irritations. The French scientist René Gattefossé was among the first to discover these properties when he was severely burned in a laboratory explosion. Lavender may also be used to enhance the flavor of foods.
Lavender is such a universal oil in so many ways. I have 2 or 3 bottles around at all times, and use it for such a variety of things. Read more details about it below, and follow the links to get your own as well. Also included here is a recipe for Lavender Lemonade! Perfect for summer and you would not believe how good it is… (and good for you!)
Perhaps ancient peoples intuitively knew what researchers are finding out about lavender…it calms anxiety and provides natural stress relief. And that’s not all — lavender has a long list of beneficial properties, making it a natural health superstar.

Lavender and Your Health
Aromatherapists feel that lavender essential oil is the most versatile because of its many properties and considers it one of the best essential oils to have on hand.
“My son had problems for years being able to fall asleep. He would lay there for hours it seemed. He had gotten into the habit of taking something over the counter before bedtime each night. He is 21 yrs old with a mind of his own, and I was really worried. One day, I asked him if I could put Lavender on the bottom of his feet at bedtime and he agreed. He slept like a baby and now he uses it every night. He no longer takes anything else!”

Here’s a Lavender Lemonade recipe for you to enjoy:
Lavender Lemonade
(they make at the restaurant at the Young Living Farm in Mona, Utah – It’s delicious!)
7 lemons, peeled and juiced
2 limes, peeled and juiced
1 drop pure, therapeutic-grade lavender oil
14 cups water
1-1/2 cup Blue Agave
Mix all ingredients together and chill. Add more water or Blue Agave, depending on the size and tartness of the fruit. Be careful that you don’t add more than a drop of lavender oil so that it does not overpower your lemonade.
Enjoy!
The key is to know that you can have your dreams. Visualize your dreams as complete; see them as reality. Anchor your dreams and get on the path to achieving them.
– D. Gary Young
Few people in this world are unstoppable, who if they say they’re going to do something, they do it.
D. Gary Young checking the leaf quality of the high mountain Oolong, in the central mountains of Taiwan.
Few people are aware that essential oils have been distilled since ancient times in Egypt, some of our first recordings in history.
Most people are also unaware that when Gary Young was 22 years old, he was in an accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down on one side, and from the waist down on the other. After multiple failed suicide attempts, he turned to a path of alternative healing methods, and after 13 years completely regained the use of his body, so much so that he ran a 1/2 marathon and placed in the finish! Gary credits the oils with his recovery, a feat the doctors told him he would never accomplish.
Just prior to harvesting, Gary checks the fragrance of his Ylang Ylang flowers on the YL Ecuador Farm.
He’s dedicated his life to the planting, growing, cultivating and distilling of high grade therapeutic oils so that these oils can be available to anyone. These, the strongest substances in the world, will work with your own body’s miraculous capacity to heal itself.
“When you study and work with plants, including their behavior and personality, there is no way that you can deny there is a God. It is the most phenomenal thing for me to watch how God has orchestrated His kingdom for us. I can also tell you that there is not a single ailment on this planet, I don’t care what you call it or what name they have given it, that God did not give us the answer for, right here on earth.”
And I so agree with him, 100%.
Gary regularly writes to us posting his thoughts and views on how the gifts of healing can become more available to people world-wide who are seeking them. He also shares with us the ins and outs of harvesting and distilling plants even in the most remotest regions of the world.

I hope you’re having a Happy Summer,
I don’t know about you, but I’ve always enjoyed experimenting with new, higher quality skin care products, as long as they were non-commercial and chemical free.
Naturally pure skin care products with high quality ingredients is fairly new territory in the beauty industry. The capacity to clinically research, identify and procure high quality ingredients that made visible differences in the appearance of facial skin has traditionally belonged to the big cosmetic companies that had the resources to do so. But these large Continue reading

Happy Oiling,
Let’s face it, so many things to do…
It’s not difficult to fall into the habit of ignoring the tools we have to help us with our health. But unless we USE them, we’re not getting the benefit, which is the reason you bought them in the first place.
Why did you choose to purchase a particular oil or supplement?
Was there something you had in mind to heal or repair?
Here are my boxes of oils, that I keep front and center in the master bath.
If we neglect the daily habits of using our oils, we’re not implementing what we already know. Using what you have, you can benefit daily and over the course of months and years, strengthen and repair so many different aspects of your health: mental, emotional, physical and spiritual.What’s on Your Everyday Shelf of Oils?
It’s easy to have a selection of oils out that you can use daily. During my morning and evening routines, they’re easy to grab and use. Plus you smell so good!

Citrus!
Keeping this short and sweet once again for summer…
Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) has a fresh, citrus aroma that is energizing and uplifting. Rich in the powerful antioxidant d-limonene, it is nourishing to the skin. Like many coldpressed citrus oils, it is a popular oil to use in conjunction with weight management programs. Grapefruit may also be used to enhance the flavor of food and water.
Lemon (Citrus limon) has a strong, purifying, citrus scent that is revitalizing and uplifting. Lemon consists of 68 percent dlimonene, a powerful antioxidant. It is delightfully refreshing in water and may be beneficial for the skin. Lemon may also be used to enhance the flavor of foods. Lemon essential oil is cold-pressed from the rinds of lemons. Jean Valnet MD estimated that it takes 3,000 lemons to produce one kilo of oil. In his book, The Practice of Aromatherapy, Valnet wrote that lemon is a tonic for supporting the nervous and sympathetic nervous system.
It’s so easy to log in from anywhere there is an Internet connection (including your phone) and look something up in just a few minutes.
