Essential Oil Therapies in Yarmouth, Maine

DEBORAH'S NOTE:

I presently work (administratively) for surgeons who perform the surgeries on burn patients, and for the clinic who tends to the extensive follow up burn care that they will have to endure. The most compelling concern during the first few weeks is "infection prevention" for an infection adds a whole new dimension to those healing challenges. I often hear about the pain involved in burns and recovery and for some, this turns into neuropathic (chronic pain) which may never be resolved.

In a perfect world... when I get to be Queen ... the US would allow for therapeutic grade essential oils to be utilized within this treatment. After all, essential oils have long been used in European hospital systems, diffused in the air to reduce infection and promote healing, and used topically for the same purpose. They are battlefield proven, used during the World War in Europe when antibiotics ran out, and Lavender was successfully used to prevent infection and gangrene. What a thrill it would be to orient the burn nurses to integrate these resources.

Here are a few examples of what other people have done for their burns. T'aint rocket science. Just get the oils on there and let them do the work!

TESTIMONIALS:

 

Seems like every few months one of us has to have something unusual happen to

us so we can really test our oils again.

 

Last Friday late afternoon, Shauna accidentally put her left hand on the electric

stove at our summer home in the mountains. Needless to say she was in much pain.

Between a second-degree and third-degree burn. She burned her full hand and some

on her fingers. You could see the 1/2 the circle of the hot plate.

 

She immediately yelled for help as she put her hand under cold water. Always having

my peppermint in my pocket, I dropped a dozen drops and ran to get the lavender.

Searched the cabin for LavaDerm with no success. We did have a bottle of Aloe vera

gel which she added.

 

This large of burn can cause dehydration and mineral loss. She said her hand felt better

if she kept it in cool water. She added to the water helichrysum, lavender, and Idaho

balsam fir oils to support tissue regeneration and to reduce scarring and skin discoloration.

 

When her hand wasn't in the water she would add all the oils listed above along with

Aloe Vera gel. It took about 10 hours before the hot painful heat subsided. When this

happened she could finally sleep. Not finding our Rose ointment at the cabin either, she

used Tender Tush to help keep her hand moist and alternated it with her YL hand and

body lotion.

 

By Saturday noon, she could rub her hands together without any pain. By Sunday most

of the half circle from the heating element had disappeared along with most of the larger

blisters.

 

She continues to use the YL oils and supplements of Longevity capsules, Sulfurzyme,

and Super Cal to support her body.

 

Today, Monday, she is using her hand like nothing happened. But she will have to continue

using the products to reduce and remove the scarring.

 

Always grateful to have our Young Living products.

Another episode of Burned hand over the weekend....

 

 I too, burned my hand on Saturday evening.  I have a glass top stove and forgot I had

used the burner earlier and went to brush crumbs off with the flat of my hand.  I immediately

had Gil run upstairs and get the Lavender.  I kept putting that on every few minutes. then

put some helichrysum on as that was handy, and later put on frankincense.  The burning

had stopped after a couple applications of the lavender.  After dinner I looked up what to

do for blisters and it said to use the spikenard to regenerate the skin. I kept putting that on

and also put on the Genesis Hand lotion.  Sunday, the hand was a little sore, and could

barely see a couple small blisters across a couple of fingers. I applied more lavender,

frankincense, and spikenard during the day with the Genesis Hand lotion.  Today there

are no signs of a burn or blisters, but still applied more spikenard with the lotion.

 

Sure glad I had the oils as I probably would have had to gone to the Dr. and surely

couldn't be using my right hand today.

My husband has Alzheimer’s.  Early on, I would drop Peace and Calming on my wrists and then rub my wrists on his to calm him.  We were enveloped in the fragrance.  However, after he was placed in a care facility and his medicines changed, the P&C would make him more agitated.
 
One of his medicines, Trilifon, caused him to lose the ability to hold his head up and he would lean drastically to one side also.  He was in great pain.  I started using Valor on the spine vita flex points on the bottom of his feet, and massage his feet and legs every night.  I made sure he was lying straight when he went to sleep.  Within days he was soon standing straight and tall again.  He was noticeably calmer, also.  I believed it was because the pain was reduced.  But, he also had other pain issues.
 
In time Trilifon was reduced and so was the need for Valor.  However, I find that he responds well to Valor when agitated.  If he is too upset to have it put on his wrists when I arrive, I stand behind him and drip a drop on the crown of his bald head.  He automatically rubs it in himself.  If he gets it on his fingers, I wipe them thoroughly when he calms down so that he won't get it in his eyes.  It works great for him.  It is about $23 for 15 ml.

Bi-Polar Disorder Or Manic Depression

Author: Robert Corrington

Link: http://www.oil-testimonials.com/essential-oils/861

 

Like millions of Americans I suffer from bi-polar disorder, otherwise known as manic depression.  For over a decade now I have taken many of the latest medications used to stabilize mood swings.  I continue to take these medicines and will do so in the future as they help a great deal.  However, these pills do not cure the disease nor do they create a sense of joy or well being.

 

Several months ago my masseuse introduced me to Young Living products and I have not looked back.  My depressions have lessened and my sense of self has been dramatically improved.  There is now a joy in living that I have not felt in years.  I am still experimenting with different oils but have found some constants already. 

 

• I use Joy, Peace and Calming, Valor, Ylang Ylang, SARA, Lavander, and now I have added Frankincense, Rosewood and Brain Power (an especially effective oil).
• I rub them on the bottom of my feet, on my neck, on my chest, and inhale them with the diffuser.
• I should add that my wife now uses essential oils and is completely sold on them.

Recently I published a book on manic depressive disorder and should there be a second edition I will add a chapter on essential oils.  They have brought me to a new level of health and well being and I look forward to sharing these experiences with others.

** ONLY Therapeutic Grade essential oils have the ability to support therapeutic results. Essential oils commonly found in natural foods and bath shops are usually perfume grade at best, meaning the healing plant chemistries are destroyed, absent or diluted with chemical fillers.

See other posts on depression on this blog for more uses on oils and emotions.

Many people suffer with chronic sinus infection. Here is some excellent information compiled by Nancy Sanderson, with testimonials from various people at the end. Also, since mold in the home or work space will create chronic sinus symptoms, it is worthwhole to check if you have mold. (Diffuse Thieves, remediate the cause of the mold, etc. www.moldrx4u.com ) ~Deborah

CHRONIC SINUS INFECTION

Here is a great recipe that Dr. Penoel (French Medical Aromatherapy doctor) used on his patients.  I remember this story he wrote about a little girl that had sinus problems so bad that the parents Dr. of this little girl wanted to do surgery.  They heard about Dr. Penoel and this is what he used She did not have to have surgery. (NANCY SANDERSON) Read more in Dr. Daniel Penoel’s book “Natural Home Health Care Using Essential Oils”

Rosemary and tea tree oils can be used in a saline solution for a very effective nasal irrigation (using a neti pot)

    10 drops rosemary
    6 drops Melaleuca ericifolia
    8 tbls very fine unprocessed sea salt

The essential oils are mixed thoroughly in the fine salt and kept in a container.  For each nasal irrigation session, use 1 teaspoon of this salt mixture is dissolved into 1 1/2 cups distilled water.  This oils/salt/water solution is then placed in the tank of an oral irrigator to irrigate the nasal cavities, which is done while bending over a sink.  This application has brought surprisingly positive results in treating latent sinusitis and other nasal congestion problems.

·    Eucalyptus Blue that is very powerful for the sinuses.

·    Essential oils such as Eucalyptus radiata and ravensara strengthen the respiratory system, open the pulmonary tract, and fight respiratory infection.

·    Also diffuse and sit in front of the diffuser.

·    Or take a half cup of hot water with 4-5 drops of oil and cover head with towel and inhale the moisture and oil.  Make sure the water is not hot enough to burn your finger before you put the oil in to insure that it is not too hot for the oil which would fracture the molecules.

·    Another thing to do to help with the nasal problem is use Blue Eucalyptus or the new Breathe Again roll-on and apply over the nasal points on the face and cover with a hot wash cloth doing a hot compress. 

·    Also apply oils to the feet reflex of the sinuses and put feet in a hot foot bath.

Gargle 2-5 times daily:

·    Many have found it effective to place one drop of thieves or tea tree at the very back of the tongue and hold it in the mouth, mixing with the saliva for several minutes then swallowing.  (I like to use Exodus II,) 

·    You can also use the Fresh Essence Mouthwash with a little extra Thieves in it or Exodus II and gargle with. 

·    Also there's the Thieves spray and I have added a couple drops of oregano to the Thieves spray to give it more strengthen.  Mix thoroughly.

·    I also gargle with NingXia Red

Supplements:

Super Chewable C, ImmuPro, Exodus, Inner Defense softgels, NingXia Red
-----
Below are some more recipes that you can use if one doesn't work try another one.  Everyone's body is different, so it is great to have several things to try.

This is a blend used for diffusion or put a couple drops on tissue or hankie & inhale deeply, as needed.

DIFFUSE /INHALE

·    20 drops Rosemary (mucolytic)

·    20 drops Eucalyptus Radiata (anti-inflammatory & expectorant)

·    20 drops Peppermint (decongestant& stimulant)

TOPICAL CHEST RUB:
Used for respiratory problems. Rub a few drops on chest, neck, when needed to help break up congestion.

·    5 drops Rosemary (mucolytic & anti-inflammatory

·    5 drops Eucalyptus Globulus (expectorant & anti-inflammatory)

·    3 drops Frankincense (antiseptic

·    3 drops Thyme (antiseptic & immune booster)

·    Add these oils to 2 oz. of a base of sweet almond oil (moisturizer)

·    AND 1/2 oz. Vitamin E as a stabilizer.

IMMUNITY BOOSTER BLEND:

This blend strengthens your immune system to help keep you from "catching" the bug. Use once a day as a preventative during colds/flu season.

·    6 drops Eucalyptus Globulus (anti-viral, microbial, bacterial)

·    6 drops Lemon (keeps lymphatic system moving)

·    6 drops Lavender (mild sedative)

·    6 drops Frankincense (antiseptic)

·    Add these oils to 1/2 oz. of Vit. E and 2 oz. of Apricot kernel oil

Hoping these blends can be of some use to someone out there. Most of these oils I think everyone has them on hand.

 

CHRONIC SINUS INFECTION -- VARIOUS EXPERIENCES

I would like to share with you one thing that I found that really worked for me.  In Nov. we were traveling and I only had a few oils with me and I felt this burning going on inside my nose like when a sinus infection starts and I did not want that to happen. I looked for R.C. as I was out of Eucalyptus Blue since the convention and I did not have R.C.  So I used Purification, applying it inside my nose.   The burning went right away in minutes and it lasted 4 hours.  Applying it again and it lasted another 4 hours.  I had to use it one more time and the burning sensation never came back.

Just returned from the 2008 Young Living Convention Saturday evening. While there I purchased the new oil Eucalyptus Blue. On Monday I had guests spend the night. The next morning one of the guests woke up with tremendous sinus pain. She said if felt like someone punched her hard in the left cheek. I had her smell and then apply one drop of the Eucalyptus Blue to her cheek. Immediate relief. I mean immediate. We were both stunned. Within a few minutes she was her happy self. This oil is awesome!!   Janice Erhart
~~~
 
I'm stunned right now. For about the past year and a half, I've had chronic sinus infections, seven of them to be exact. I'm convinced it became fungal because when the antibiotics would clear the infection, I could still feel a sludgy kind of junk still in my sinuses. (I also made the correlation of my sinus infections with the exact timing of a burst pipe in our house which took months for insurance to clean it up, I'm 100% certain there is mold and fungus in my crawl space as a result affecting me, I have a history of allergies to molds, dust, seasonal allergies.) 

I just ended my last round of antibiotic two days ago. Last night I could feel the pressure in my sinuses growing and I was devastated. I just received my essential oils and was layering the oils topically and inhaling them; and then I read here at the testimonials of someone ingesting 10 drops of Thieves and swabbing his nose with Purification. That was it. Within an hour I had purchased capsules, made my Thieves capsule, injested it, swabbed my nose...and within ONE HOUR I was noticeably better. It was probably sooner but didn't acknowledge it because I didn't want to be disappointed. 

I took another one today when I got up, another at lunch, and then tonight after dinner. I've NEVER EVER felt this good in years! My ears are actually popping and I can hear better, I have my energy back. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE MY LIFE BACK!!!! 

If I have to take Thieves the rest of my life, so be it. Not a big deal at all. I'm a believer and now I'm going to become a distributor! I'm so thankful my YL distributor happened to find me!   Regina V

I have had issues with sinus congestion and sinus infections my entire life. I became frustrated with antibiotics and began a search for something less harmful. I found relief with R.C. Adding a few 3-5 drops into a saline solution nasal spray and using the solution/oil blend every morning, has helped reduce my sinus congestion. I highly recommend it.   Shannon Briese

My 12 year old daughter has suffered with chronic sinus infections all her life and so have I. When I would get a sinus infection it would get me down for several weeks and it never seemed to go away completely and would last all through the winter. Back in August we both started to take a small capsule with 4 drops of Thieves in it and we have not has a sinus infection since. We have both had great results with this oil.  Karla Besand
~~~
 
My husband had a bad cold that lasted for 2 weeks. I have been using the oils for 2 years, but he has been reluctant to try them. At the end of his cold, as usual, it turned into a sinus infection. He can tell without even going to the doctor. 

Well, after he saw the results of my taking a capsule of thieves (10 drops) and frankincense (3 drops) which took my cold away in 1 day, he said he'd try it for his sinus infection. He was surprised & amazed that after 2 doses (1 after supper & 1 before bed), the next morning he felt better - sinus pain gone! Sinus infection gone! He took 1 dose before bed for a couple days after, and it never came back. So, now he's a believer!   Julie Randall

July is 'allergy month' for my friend. She routinely visits dentists during this month because she experiences pain in her sinus area and her jaw. The dentists have never found tooth issues to explain the jaw pain. She has used RC and Peppermint and Eucalyptus Radiata on the sinus and jaw areas this week. She has applied the RC and Eucalyptus Radiata and the jaw discomfort and the sinus issues are reduced and eliminated, respectively. She found the Peppermint fragrance to be too strong around her face and didn't want to dilute the oil with a vegetable oil, so she has used it as a rinse for her mouth.   Mirian Saxton
~~~
 
I have used peppermint oil at the first sign of a sinus infection. I put some on my face before bed and most often by next morning it has reduced the pain.   Frances Austin
~~~
 
Over 5 years ago, I was plagued by chronic sinus infections which would last up to two weeks. The sinus infections would return a month or two later. My symptoms were sinus headaches, burning sinuses and constant drainage. I missed lots of work back then and over the course of twelve years, I received countless prescriptions of e-Mycin, Robitussin, Amoxicillin, Flonase and Suprax. 

Then I was introduced to Young Living Essential Oils by my sister, Ann Hovey. I started using Peppermint oil on my sinuses, temples (AVOID DIRECT EYE CONTACT) and in my drinking water. I also learned that certain foods were contributing to the condition so I reduced my intake of dairy. I haven't been on an antibiotic since 2000! 

I am so grateful for these products and most importantly the education around nutrition, health and healing we have received from Gary Young! Amy Stewart
~~~
 
I've a long history of sinus infections related to allergies, leading into bronchitis and vertigo. Since I've routinely used oils in the following manner, I've not had to take an antibiotic for any flare-up and the flare-ups are much less frequent. (I did also start allergy shots, so that seems to be helping.) 

At the first sign of sinus blockage, swollen glands, sinus headache, I mix a few drops of mixing oil, a couple of drops of Thieves oil blend, and a couple of drops of Frankincense. I put in on my finger and coat the inside of each nostril. After the first breath in, I may sneeze, so I don't put it all in at first! I also coat my glands if swollen. If really stuffed and staying home or going to bed, I coat the outside of my cheeks and nose. I've also coated my chest. I get some immediate relief and in a matter of hours have a significant decline in all symptoms. May need to continue and do frequently until symptoms are gone. Has been my life saver!   Jackie Kolb

Hello, I get inhaler blanks from abundant-health.com and load them with Rosemary oil to be used on nasal and sinus congestion. It works like a charm. I gave a few away and everyone loves them. I have also diffused it and put it on a cotton ball attached so the air from my humidifier spreads it through the air. And I have received relief from colds, flue, allergies. What a gift and the price is truly right. Jacquelyn Kington

THE THREE GIFTS

 

 Have you ever wondered why the three wise men brought Frankincense, Myrrh and Gold to the holy child?

 

Consider this Ancient Wisdom…

 

Imagine ancient Biblical times, when essential oils were the primary source of medicine used to prevent infection, disease and plague, aiding headache, grief, and depression; supporting healthy pregnancy, childbirth and lifelong wellness as well as easing death. 

 

Imagine King Tut’s tomb with all its riches, containing ornate alabaster vessels of essential oils sealed with fat, still viable and potent after thousands of years… how’s that for shelf life?

 

Even more interesting, researchers now believe that “Gold” was Oil of Balsam, often called “gold” in biblical times for its beautiful color.

 

Modern Cure?

 

In our lifetime, infection fighting essential oils have often been eclipsed by modern medicine, so much so that most people know little of them. Yet lavender was used to prevent gangrene in wounded solders during the last world war. And oils were used during the great plagues of Europe to loot and steal from the dead and dying… though the robbers didn’t contract the plague… they did die of other causes once apprehended. ;)  With resistant staff infection a growing concern today, thankfully, science is again taking a fresh look at essential oils.

 

Here are a few highlights of these precious healing oils and the rich chemistry that they offer: (© Essential Oil Desk Reference, Essential Science Publishing)

 

FRANKINCENSE (Boswellia carteri)

 

Historical Data: Also known as "olibanum," or "Oil from Lebanon" the name frankincense is derived from the Medieval French word for "real incense." Frankincense is considered the "holy anointing oil" in the Middle East and has been used in religious ceremonies for thousands of years. It was well known during the time of Christ for its anointing and healing powers and was one of the gifts given to Christ at His birth. "Used to treat every conceivable ill known to man," frankincense was valued more than gold during ancient times, and only those with great wealth and abundance possessed it.” It is mentioned in one of the oldest known medical records, Ebers Papyrus (dating from sixteenth century BC) an ancient Egyptian list of 877 prescriptions and recipes. (“Universal Healer Oil”)

 

Medical Properties: Antitumoral, immuno-stimulant, antidepressant, muscle relaxing.

 

USES: Depression, cancer, respiratory infections, inflammation, immune-stimulating.

 

Fragrant Influence: Increases spiritual awareness, promotes meditation, improves attitude and uplifts spirits. Frankincense contains sesquiterpenes which stimulate the limbic system of the brain (the center of memory and emotions) and the hypothalamus, pineal and pituitary glands. The hypothalamus is the master gland of the human body, producing many vital hormones including thyroid and growth hormone.

 

Bible References: There are over 52 references to frankincense (considering that "incense" is translated from the Hebrew/Greek "frankincense" and is referring to the same oil).

 

Exodus 30:34—"And the Lord said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; these sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight: 

 

"Leviticus 2:1—"And when any will offer a meat offering unto the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:

 

"Leviticus 2:2—"And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord:"

 

 

MYRRH (Commiphora myrrha)

 

Historical Data: It is mentioned in one of the oldest known medical records, Ebers Papyrus (dating from sixteenth century BC) an ancient Egyptian list of 877 prescriptions and recipes. The Arabian people used myrrh for many skin conditions, such as chapped and cracked skin and wrinkles. It was listed in Hildegard's Medicine, a compilation of early German medicines by highly-regarded Benedictine herbalist Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179). (Revered during childbirth to prevent infection for mother and child.)

 

Medical Properties: Powerful antioxidant, antitumoral, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antiparasitic, analgesic/ anesthetic

 

USES: Diabetes, cancer, hepatitis, fungal infections (Candida, ringworm, eczema), tooth/gum infections, skin conditions (chapped, cracked, wrinkles, stretch marks)

 

Fragrant Influence: Promotes spiritual awareness and is uplifting. It contains sesquiterpenes which stimulate the limbic system of the brain (the center of memory and emotions) and the hypothalamus, pineal and pituitary glands. The hypothalamus is the master gland of the human body, producing many vital hormones including thyroid and growth hormone.

 

Bible References:

 

Genesis 37:25—"And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and behold, a company of Ishmelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt."

 

Genesis 43:11—"And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds."

 

Exodus 30:23—"Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels."

 

“GOLD” Balsam Fir (Abies balsamea)

 

Historical Data: The fir tree—a tree commonly used as a Christmas tree today—has been prized through the ages for its medicinal effects and ability to heal respiratory conditions and muscular and rheumatic pain.

 

Medical Properties: Anticoagulant, anti-inflammatory

 

USES: Throat/lung/sinus infections, fatigue. arthritis, rheumatism, urinary tract infections, scoliosis/lumbago/sciatica, reduces cortisol (death hormone) production.

 

Fragrant Influence: Grounding, stimulating to the mind, and relaxing to the body.

 

Bible References:

 

Samuel 6:5—"And David and all the house of Israel played before the Lord on all manner of [instruments made of] fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals."1

 

Kings 5:8—"And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which thou sentest to me for: [and] I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir."1

 

Kings 5:10—"So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees [according to] all his desire."

ADDICTION

Text by Deborah Lynne Carlton

Excerpt from Carolyn Mein's "Releasing Emotional Patterns" indented.

 It is believed that the root of all addiction is fear, and the desire to be loved. Any attempt to fill that void with a substance, behavior or addictive relationship in order to feel safe or loved is nearly impossible. Addiction signals that part of us which must be filled from within with pure self love. The decision to love oneself exactly as we are… rather than trying to be what we imagine others need us to be in order to receive their love, keeps us on that never ending hamster wheel, always running but never quite arriving at the deeper, richer place of self love.

 

Limiting beliefs may appear around feeling undeserving of love. Children who grow up in a home where they felt unloved may adapt the belief of not being loveable, which manifests throughout life as addiction, and addictive often abusive relationships which are not loving in nature, etc.

 

The physical anchor of addiction is the liver. The liver is also the anchor of Anger, Rage, Depression and Allergies and in some way, every trauma, loss or illness that we experience is also imprinted in the liver. Thus at some point, addressing liver health and toxicity may be useful in the healing of addiction. (See post on ANGER for a useful protocol). In the world of essential oils, we also utilize the blend JOY on the liver (a drop a day) to gently release anger and stored emotions.)

 

Caroline Mein’s book, “Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils,” is an excellent resource for those interested in taking a proactive role in their personal emotional freedom. Following is tool for working with issues around Addiction.

 

The opposite of Addiction is “Freedom”

The “Way Out” Affirmation is “I am wanted and loveable.”

Utilizing the blend called “Peace & Calming” on the Brain alarm point (Midline to the hairline).

 

1. Identify and FEEL the emotion ADDICTION.
2. Deeply inhale the blend “PEACE & CALMING” taking it into all of your cells.
3. Feel the OTHER SIDE of the emotion (FREEDOM)
4. Apply 1 drop of PEACE & CALMING to the Brain Point (Midline to the hairline), plus top of head, forehead and base of cranium.
5. Focus on the statement *I am wanted and loveable.*
6. If desired, say the statement until something shifts and you feel it.
7. Repeat this process as often as useful. If issue of Addiction is deeply rooted, that may be 7 times a day for 3 weeks, if that is what it takes to clear the emotion from your life.

The Blend of Peace & Calming promotes deep relaxation and a sense of peace and emotional well-being, helping to ease tensions and uplift spirits. When massaged on the bottom of feet (2-3 drops) it can be a wonderful prelude to a peaceful night’s sleep. May calm overactive and hard-to manage children. Reduces depression, anxiety, stress and insomnia. EODR, 3^rd Edition. Product Spec Sheet: http://www.youngliving.us/pdfs/PIP_Peace&Calming.pdf

 

 

*PEACE & CALMING is a proprietary blend of therapeutic grade essential oils from Young Living.

ABUNDANCE  (Lack/Scarcity)

Text by Deborah Lynne Carlton

Exerpt from Carolyn Mein's book indented

 

 

It could be said that money problems (lack/scarcity) are essentially our limiting self beliefs showing up in that mirror.
Do we deserve to succeed?
Be supported doing what we love?
Are we good enough?
Smart enough?
Is there enough money?
Do you have to work hard to get money?
Is it really the economy, or do our limiting beliefs keep abundance, people and opportunities from coming to us?

 

The core possibilities are endless.

 

Carol Look, a master EFT practitioner, focuses primarily on this topic, and her extensive database of newsletters can be found at www.carollook.com. Carol’s newsletters are rich with set up phrases and clues that can enlighten us to the nature of our hidden and limiting beliefs.

 

Another option is Caroline Mein’s book, “Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils,” which is an excellent resource for those interested in taking a proactive role in their personal emotional freedom. Following is tool for working with issues around abundance.

 

The opposite of Scarcity or Lack is ABUNDANCE.

The “Way Out” Affirmation is “I am in alignment with universal flow.”

Utilizing the blend called “ABUNDANCE” on the Laryngeal Prominence of the throat.  

 

 

1. Identify and FEEL the emotion LACK
2. Deeply inhale the blend “ABUNDANCE” taking it into all of your cells.
3. Feel the OTHER SIDE of the emotion (Abundance)
4. Apply 1 drop of JOY to the Larynx, plus top of head, forehead and base of cranium.
5. Focus on the statement *I am in alignment with universal flow*.
6. If desired, say the statement until something shifts and you feel it.
7. Repeat this process as often as useful. If feelings of Lack or Scarcity is deeply rooted, that may be 7 times a day for 3 weeks, if that is what it takes to clear the emotion from your life.

 

*The Blend of Abundance contains Spruce, which is useful in clearing emotional blockages, including those which usually exist around receiving Abundance. It also contains oils which have been possessed by the wealthy through the ages and associated with wealth. This blend calibrates one’s frequency to the attraction of abundance and success. It enhances the frequency of the energy field that surrounds us through stimulation of the somatides.

 

*Have a ball … anoint your checks when paying bills… invoices when billing clients… anoint your chakras to set the tone for the day, inhale it and imagine your perfect successful business. Place a few drops in your water fountain, on the telephone, computer keyboard… appointment book… whatever means by which business or abundance may come to you!

 

*Enjoy how the exotic sent of Abundance attracts people to you – what a wonderful way to connect with them!

The fear of Abandonment is usually sourced from childhood experiences and often manifests throughout life either in attracting partners who will abandon, or in our own aggressive, sabotaging, clingy behavior which forces them to abandon us. Alternately, we may abandon them before they abandon us. When actively expressing this contractive emotion, inwardly, we abandon ourselves and limit love from being received from its many potential sources.

 

The fear of Abandonment may be accompanied by a deep belief that relationships do not last, especially in those who experienced the loss of a parent through death, divorce, depression or emotional dysfunction.

 

Caroline Mein’s book, “Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils,” is an excellent resource for working with issues of Abandonment.

 

The opposite of Abandonment is “At-One-Ment”

The “Way Out” Affirmation is “I embrace all of life’s experiences.”

Utilizing the blend called “Lavender” on the Small Intestine alarm point (top of hip bones).

6. If desired, say the statement until something shifts and you feel it.

CONTROL (Fear of Losing)

Text by Deborah Lynne Carlton

Excerpt from Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils indented.

 

 

Many people experience uncomfortable situations during childhood that they could not control. Perhaps a parent left, or basic needs were not met and they learned to provide for themselves at a young age. As adults they become extremely self sufficient due to this earlier conditioning where depending upon others was painful or disappointing. This individual will generally refuse help from others.

 

If we were meant to do it alone, would we have all this company on earth?

 

Imagine this person praying for Divine assistance, but rejecting help from the friend (earth angel) who is sent to provide it?  This entrenched pattern of being unable to receive typically appears in the form of financial lack. Excessively controlling people may become inappropriately controlling in relationships, basically driving love and support away from them. Thus continues the victim’s dance. Attempting to control, in a world where little can be controlled, necessarily leads to exhaustion and unhappiness, however it plays out.

 

Carolyn Mein articulates the “tentacles of control” beautifully in “Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils.” A person with control issues may both fear losing control, and detest being controlled by others. (“If you want it done right, do it yourself!”) They may typically prefer self employment, but resist routine or structure even of their own creation and so their own business suffers. Authority figures may trigger intense emotional responses thus the control program continually creates stress and drama – an internal war without end. Afterall, the more you try to control reality, the more it proves you can’t.

 

Gandhi was wise in suggesting that we BE the change we wish to see in the world.  

Here is a precious opportunity to heal the war within.

 

“Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils” is an excellent resource for working with issues around Control.

 

1. Identify and FEEL the emotion of CONTROL. (Recall an event that triggers it if helpful.)
2. Deeply inhale the blend “PEACE & CALMING” taking it into all of your cells.
3. Feel the OTHER SIDE of the emotion (Balance)
4. Apply 1 drop of PEACE & CALMING to the Stomach Alarm Point (on sternum between breasts), plus top of head, forehead and base of cranium.
5. Focus on the statement, “I am content and blessed.”
6. Say the statement out loud until something shifts and you feel it. (The spoken word is proven 80 times more effective than quiet thought.)
7. Repeat this process as often as useful. If the feeling of Control is deeply rooted, possibly 7 times a day for 3 weeks, if that is what it takes to clear the charge of this emotion.

 

The Blend of Peace & Calming promotes deep relaxation and a sense of peace and emotional well-being, helping to ease tensions and uplift spirits. When massaged on the bottom of feet (2-3 drops) it can be a wonderful prelude to a peaceful night’s sleep. May calm overactive and hard-to manage children. Reduces depression, anxiety, stress and insomnia. EODR, 3^rd Edition

Excerpt from Carolyn Mein's book indented.

 

 

It is believed that the root of all emotions is either love or fear, every human act – an expression of love or a cry for it… the source of all illness at its most basic element – a lack of self love.

 

I believe that our purpose in this human journey is simply love. Regardless of how we may arrive at that knowing, the painful childhood stories, the woundings – it’s all the same road, just different vehicles. In the presence of pure love, all that is less falls away, insignificant.

 

What keeps love from us then?

 

The same thought forms that restrict happiness and abundance, primarily the belief that we don’t deserve it, we’re not lovable, love is painful or love is conditional. Thus the ego continues to reaffirm these beliefs, our own subconscious effectively sabotaging those qualities in life we crave most. 

The people we intuitively attract will never love us enough, how could they?
The success we seek remains elusive, we don’t really believe in it. 

Yet we cry at sappy movies and love songs, define ourselves by our painful stories and perpetuate them with every new introduction (Hi I’m Phil, I didn’t get enough cookies as a child) and all the while that great cosmic mirror is talking at us….Is this really true?

 

Only if you believe it...

 

Caroline Mein’s book, “Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils,” is an excellent resource for working with issues around receiving Love.

5. Focus on the statement *I allow myself to be real.*
6. If desired, say the statement until something shifts and you feel it.
7. Repeat process as often as useful. If fear issuess around Love are deeply rooted, that may be 7 times a day for 3 weeks, if that is what it takes to clear the emotion from your life.

 

LOVE (Conditional Love / Love with an Agenda)

 

1. Identify and FEEL the issues around Conditional Love.

The blends of Release and 3 Wise Men are proprietary formulations of therapeutic grade essential oil by Young Living. EO’s from bath shops and natural foods stores are often perfume grade and thus may not yield therapeutic results. Perfume grade oils have been rendered toxic by the distillation method, fillers, chemical extractants, etc. and may cause adverse reactions.
