New Essential Oils Summit – Excellent Education from Industry Experts: May 11- 18

There’s a great Essential Oils Summit going on all this week, from May 11 – 18, this Monday to next Monday.

https://un233.isrefer.com/go/summitreg/suzgems/

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.

Look at This Cool New Thing I Got

Sharing Young Living has never been easier or so much fun.  

I recently got the Aroma Carousel.  The entire set of the Everyday Oils Essential Oils Collection can be put in here.  You can actually have any of the oils you want in there, as they provide empty bottles, the labels, and a little plastic pipette. With the pipette, you can take out the oils from a larger bottle you have in stock, and put it in these tiny 2ml vials.  I chose to do the Everyday Oils Collection because it has everything there I love and I love to share!

People come into my home on occasion and they see my oils everywhere:  

  • on my desk
  • in the kitchen
  • on the coffee table
  • in the bathroom
  • then my diffuser

So of course they are curious.  When I leave the carousel out in the most convenient place, they are inclined to play around with it.  I have my business cards nearby, and invariably, I get a few questions.

“Is this a pyramid scheme?”  LOL.  I always have to laugh at that one.  Do you get that too?

“No,” I say.  “It’s sold person to person, like Avon or Mary Kay,” and that really clarifies things a little. 😉

“I’ve been using them for (x) number of years,” (how many for you) – “and it’s my entire medicine cabinet.”

“We are moving consumer dollars away from Big Pharma, and into organic farming, worldwide.”

Whatever you need to do, get the word out.  The oils work. They heal people.  And people need healing.  We are all frustrated with conventional medicine, and our answers are all in God’s Oils.

If you have a business or service practice, having the Aroma Carousel right there on your front desk or nearby your healing table is a no-brainer.  It’s a great way to share samples.

I Missed My Power Meal!

I Missed My Power Meal!

IMG_3621

 

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!

I don’t know if you’ve ever tried Power Meal, but Dr. Gary Young developed a vegetarian, whole meal, replacement protein powder that is really wonderful.  He developed it for himself when he was a body builder, and later went on to win Mr. Utah 2 years in a row when he was in his 40s!
Now, I’m not so interested in being Ms. Hawaii.  But I am interested in having plenty of energy all day long to do all the things I want to do, and not get tired.  
When I use Power Meal as my morning protein shake, I feel energized all day, and I don’t need another meal until lunch time.  
You will feel the energy immediately too!  I have no need for snacking, and I don’t get those sugar blues crashes around 4 pm.  That can happen if you have a high-carb breakfast in the morning.  Think muffins or pastries, or anything sweet.  Even your cereal!  Ever want to fall asleep at 4 pm crashes and you don’t know why?  It’s your sugar carb breakfast coming back to bite you!With a high-protein breakfast you can get your metabolism really going. This protein shake is rice based, and contains the Ningxia Wolfberries.  Gary’s formula also includes the essential oils of orange and lemon right in the powder.What you see pictured here is my morning routine now, and my energy levels stay smooth and even all day. No more need for naps!  I make it with almond milk mixed with water, a few frozen strawberries and 1/2 a fresh banana.  If you want you can throw a few drops of vanilla in as well.

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!

Happy Oiling ~

Have You Seen Gary Young’s Blog?

Have You Seen Gary Young’s Blog?

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.

Are You Using Your Oils?

Are You Using Your Oils?

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?

My box of oils

Here are my boxes of oils, that I keep front and center in the master bath.

(hmmm…  mistress bath?)To help me find things quickly, one box is for blends, the other for singles. Each is then loosely in alphabetical order so that I can quickly grab what I’m looking for.I also keep several bottles in various parts of the house: the kitchen, the living room, my desk and nightstand.

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?

My 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!

What’s on your shelf?

Grapefruit, Lemon, Orange, and Tangerine?

Grapefruit, Lemon, Orange, and Tangerine?

Citrus!

Keeping this short and sweet once again for summer…

I love all of the citrus oils.
I have 1 or 2 bottles of each, always.
I use them in my water, in my diffuser and you would not believe how great they taste and how good the house smells after you’ve diffused Orange or Tangerine!

Grapefruit:

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:

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.

Orange:

Orange (Citrus sinensis) essential oil has a rich, fruity scent that lifts the spirit while providing a calming influence on the body. Orange brings peace and happiness to the mind. It is rich in the powerful antioxidant d-limonene and aids in maintaining normal cellular regeneration.* Orange may also be used to enhance the flavor of food and water.

Tangerine:

Tangerine (Citrus reticulata) is a calming essential oil with a sweet, tangy aroma, similar to orange. It helps with occasional nervous irritability. An excellent oil to help uplift the spirit and bring about a sense of security, tangerine is also rich in the powerful antioxidant d-limonene. Tangerine may also be used to enhance the flavor of food.

Product Tips

  • Use 1–2 drops of lemon essential oil to remove gum, oil, grease spots, glue or adhesive, and crayon from most surfaces.
  • Combine 2–3 drops of lemon essential oil with water in a spray bottle to help cleanse and sanitize surfaces.
  • Place a drop of lemon essential oil on oily skin or blemishes to help balance oil glands and minimize oil production.
  • Soothe corns, calluses, or bunions by rubbing lemon essential oil on the affected area morning and evening.
  • Massage lemon essential oil into cellulite to help improve circulation and eliminate waste from cells.
  • Add lemon essential oil to your morning tea or breakfast shake for a refreshing pick-me-up.
  • Inhale lemon essential oil or place a few drops on a cotton ball to replenish your mind, body, and spirit.
  • Add 10–15 drops of lemon essential oil to a gallon of carpet cleaning solution to help pull out stains, brighten carpet and rugs, and leave a fresh smell in the room.
  • Add several drops of lemon essential oil to a chicken marinade for a delicious dinner.
  • Place a few drops of your favorite citrus essential oil on a cotton ball and put in the refrigerator to help eliminate odors.

Quick Article on Summer Cleansing Made Easy

Quick Article on Summer Cleansing Made Easy

“The more alive a food is, the more prana (life force) it has and the more vibrant and alive you will feel when you consume it.” 

In my last blog post, I promised additional tips for beginning and sustaining a healthy cleanse. But before I discuss those details, I’d like to identify the reasons cleansing can be so beneficial, especially during this time of year.

I thought I’d forward this good article I read on how beneficial cleansing can be in the summer time.  It’s a great time to cleanse as we are surrounded with so many fresh fruits and vegetables!

Summer Cleansing

According to natural-health pioneers such John Tilden, Dr. Randolph Stone, Dr. Bernard Jensen, Dr. John Ray Christopher, Dr. Richard Shultze, and Gary Young, most disease is the result of a poor diet that is high in animal products, overly processed foods, and foods that are high in fat and low in fiber. When we combined this poor diet with environmental toxin exposure and lack of exercise, we develop all sorts of problems such as inflammation, headaches, skin issues, and a sluggish immune system.

A dirty, compacted colon may be the culprit of these health issues. A clean, properly functioning colon, however, is the gateway to vibrant health. The natural-health advocates I mentioned above have taught and proven to their patients that miraculous healing occurs with thorough colon cleansing.

So without further ado, here are a few tips to help you with your summer cleanse—along with some proven Young Living products that will help you transform your health this season.

Tip 1: Enjoy plenty of raw fruits and veggies, fresh juice, sprouted legumes and beans, lots of garlic, olive oil, and add more cayenne to your diet. The more alive a food is, the more prana (life force) it has and the more vibrant and alive you will feel when you consume it. Refrain from eating all animal products, processed and refined foods, sugar, salt, alcohol, coffee, over-the-counter drugs, recreational drugs, and fried foods. Canned and processed food is dead!

Tip 2: Drink more water. I know I stated this in my previous blog, but the more water your colon has, the easier it is to eliminate toxins. Can you drink at least 64 ounces of water a day?

Tip 3: Get your body moving. Do more squatting, such as malasana, and walk more. Physical movement activates peristalsis, the wave-like contractions that move food through the intestines.

Tip 4: Use a colon cleansing product daily during your cleanse. Some of my personal favorites are Young Living’s ComforTone®, ICP™, and Digest & Cleanse™.

If you are cleansing, keep at it and feel free to share your stories and favorite cleansing methods with me.

Namaste,

Tracy Griffiths
