Excerpt from Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils indented.

At some time or another, we may experience a feeling of emptiness that seemingly cannot be filled. Especially if love, support or a feeling of safety were lacking in the childhood home, or significant wounding has occurred.

This sort of emptiness does not respond to external means of filling it, in fact, it may seem bottomless in nature, as if a constant leak exists somewhere. Major life changes such as the lost of loved one through divorce or death or the loss of employment may also leave one feeling empty, unable to pick up the pieces and create a new life.

Though verbally processing emotions can lead to an understanding of the source cause, and allow us to formulate action, the mind is not able to access where these emotions are stored or fully remedy the issue – thus the feeling may hang on like a shadow. For this, we must work deeper into the emotional mind, body and cellular memory to affect tangible change. Fortunately, therapeutic grade essential oils have the ability to access these levels.

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 the Feeling of Emptiness.

1. Identify and FEEL the emotion or essence of EMPTINESS.
2. Deeply inhale the oil of “LEMON” inviting it deeply into all of your cells.
3. Feel the OTHER SIDE of the emotion (FULL)
4. Apply 1 drop of LEMON to the BREAST Alarm Point (45^? angle 2” up from nipple), plus top of head, across forehead and base of cranium.
5. Focus on the statement, “I am complete.”
6. If desired, say the statement until something shifts and you feel it.
7. Repeat this process as often as useful. If feelings of Emptiness 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.

Therapeutic Grade Lemon may also be used to clear the emotional patterns of Being Left Behind, Fear of Detachment, Frustration, Life Being Unbearable, Sadness and Stuck.  Always use therapeutic grade oils. Essential oils purchased in retail locations are often perfume grade containing chemicals and toxic fillers and cannot be utilized for therapeutic results.

Excerpt from Carolyn Mein’s book indented


Bitterness and resentment create hardness in the body and in our lives. Bitterness and hard thoughts are believed to be the emotional source of gallstones. Fear, Resentment, Hatred and Envy disrupt the energy of the thymus gland and weaken the immune system.

For true healing to occur, consider your daily emotional, mental, physical and spiritual diet. Are your thoughts predominantly filled with bitterness, resentment, anger or denial? If so, how does your life, health or relationships mirror this back to you?  

• Love is our birthright and most natural state,
• Love is expansive, like the pebble tossed into the pool, rippling outward.
• Thus Love functions according to the laws of nature/God.

Negative emotions are contracting and make us smaller than our soul’s natural expansiveness.

• Small in other people’s eyes, smaller in our own.
• Like the rose bud that fails to blossom, negative emotions keep us closed
• and unable to receive love or happiness.
• Negative feelings and thoughts occupy huge space within us and require loads of energy to maintain.
• The release of negativity allows us to be filled with those good things that we desire.
• Choosing to maintain negativity hurts primarily us, then everyone we touch.
• Unless healed, it is the way we will be remembered. How do we choose to be remembered?
• This is a defining difference between being the river or the stone, the master or the victim of one’s life.

JUDGE NOT

If you feel stuck in resentment, waste zero energy judging yourself. Better to focus on finding where the separation occurred and ask those compelling life questions such as:

• Who am I?
• What is my life purpose?
• Can I forgive myself for choosing that hard lesson?
• Can I find the wisdom in it?
• Divinity exists within us all; regardless of how many layers we may have accumulated or acted out in the pain body …
• Could it be that every painful lesson is but a stepping stone across the river to one’s awakening?

Repeat this practice as desired, even 7 times a day for 3 weeks, until the feeling and emotion is no longer charged for you. Affirm the positive until it is real and you are free from limiting emotion.

As the years pass, you may find, when glancing back upon your journey, that every step, every choice, every realization (even those which you once resented) make perfect sense in the order of awakening and self empowerment. Not a moment in time is ever wasted, not one. Accepting that notion opens all kinds of doors, both in receiving the full gift of our life experiences and moving beyond them.

The oil of therapeutic grade LEMONGRASS promotes psychic awareness and purification. It contains properties known to be antifungal, antibacterial, antiparasitic, anti-inflammatory and regenerates connective tissues and ligaments, dilates blood vessels, improves circulation and lymphatic flow.

How a Bad Thing Was Once A Good Thing

Our friend Dr. David Stewart shares this research with us. Read more about Dr. Stewart, founder of www.raindroptraining.com

Those who market good therapeutic grade essential oils are sometimes accused of "selling snake oil." If you are ever so accused, your response should be, "Yes, I do. Would you like a bottle?"

There are those in Australia who know what "snake oil" really is because 100-200 years ago the Australians exported "snake oil" to America because it was in great demand from miners, trappers, and families who were moving into the Western wilderness.

The early pioneers had to contend with many dangers which included not only their exposure to the weather and the threat of hostile Indians, but also the daily peril of rattle snake bites.

But there was a remedy. Traveling salesmen who serviced those early pioneers had an oil that, when applied to a snake bite, would penetrate the skin and detoxify the poison. That oil was Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternafolia). And that is how the traveling merchants of the West came to be known as "Snake Oil Salesmen." In the beginning, it was a good name implying a good and effective product.

Unfortunately, back in the pioneering days, some of the traveling salesmen acquired bad reputations, not because their oils did not work, but because they were dishonest in other ways. But that is no reflection on the efficacy of melaleuca oil as an on-site detoxifier.

So there you are. Many of you really are snake oil salespeople after all. And you can be proud of it.

Incidentally, the American pharmaceutical industry seized upon this derogatory label over a hundred years ago in order to portray as fraudulent, anyone who sold anything in competition with their own products, including other legitimate herbal remedies which had a long standing record of success, both in European historical usage as well as that of the various American Indian tribes. 

19th century missionaries raised money for their work by supplying the pharmaceutical industry with herbal remedies which they researched and collected from the tribal medicine men.  However, if anyone else sold the exact same remedy, they were labeled as "snake oil salesmen" even though this term originally had a positive connotation.  So from the beginning, this demonstrates the method of indoctrination utilized by big business pharmacy in order to misconstrue the truth in favor of their own monopoly. 

When congress passed a law that prevented the patent of any natural herbal remedy, the pharmaceutical industry then proceeded to negate as "useless fraud" the very herbal remedies that they had previously sold themselves for many years.  At the turn of the century at least 95% of all listings in the American pharmacopeia were herbal extracts and tinctures. 

After the law was passed preventing patenting of these remedies, manufactured synthetic chemicals replaced these, since of course they could be patented and therefore a nice big fat profit margin was assured.  Today over 180 billion dollars per year of pharmaceutical prescription drugs are sold, not counting the over the counter medications. 

WHAT'S RIGHT WITH THIS PICTURE???!!!

It is important to know that these many wonderful emotional blends by Young Living, and the process by which they are used for emotional release, is based upon research of ancient heiroglyphics documenting the work of the renowned Egyptian healers.

Essential oils were more highly prized than gold and only the wealthy could afford them. Those who could afford such care would be taken deep into the chambers of the pyramids by the priests, sometimes for three days, where essential oils would be utilized in silence and darkness to “cleanse the blood and the flesh” of “evil spirits” ie, negative emotions… traumas… anything that might hinder a soul’s perfect after life. Baths would be taken at sunrise and sunset, with essential oils floating on the water.

The Egyptians were all about that perfect after life and their understanding of the depth and potency of the oils was profound. Gary Young devoted a great deal of time in Egypt following this research.

In ancient times, medicine was still in the hands of the priests and therefore the spiritual aspect of healing was intricately woven with the science.

Later in man’s history, a separation occured where the church retained possession of the spirit, however medicine became the realm of the scientists. I believe that pivotal separation has led us to this crisis in our medicine and healing where scientifically based, non-intelligent chemistry that has been manipulated is not able to cure, only suppress symptoms, while creating many harmful side effects. New strains of super bugs are showing up with virtually no opposition in the scientific world and man now asks, “How can we heal this?”

Did you know that ancient texts prove the Egyptians successfully cured 81 diseases?

Highly prized essential oils were entombed with the wealthy and royal dead in ornate, hand-carved alabaster vessels. 2000 years later, the oils were found medicinally viable upon opening King Tut's tomb.


Here is the gift of true therapeutic grade essential oils – living intelligent chemistry which has not been manipulated, therefore recognized by our body intelligence as a beneficial substance, easily taken in and moved throughout the body to deliver valuable oxygen, fight infection, release emotions, repair damaged tissue and DNA… the body intelligence knows what to do. Our job is to utilize and apply the oils wisely.

For more information of this nature, you may find Dr. Stewart’s “Healing Oils of the Bible” a delightful read.

Why exactly did the three wise men bring frankincense gold and myrrh to the Christ child?

Why have these ancient healing oils come back around today? Perhaps we are ready to understand them.

Greetings,

For those concerned about allergies to plants vs. oils created from those plants, it might be helpful to understand that while one might be allergic to the chamomile plant, the allergen is contained in the larger molecule structures, which are eliminated during the distillation method that captures the essential oil.

Following is an article by Dr. Steward which may calm your concerns. Most certainly, it is the grade of essential oil that determines the result, as well as the level of health or toxicity of the applicant.

I hope this helps,

Deborah

Sensitivities to Essential Oils

by David Stewart, PhD, DNM

www.raindroptraining.com  

There are a couple of ways one can be sensitive to essential oils, but an allergic reaction is not one of them. Allergies are erroneous immune responses to proteins, peptides, and amino acids - all nitrogen compounds, none of which are found in essential oils.

You can have an allergic reaction to a vegetable oil such as olive, corn, peanut, walnut, almond, etc., since these are cold pressed and can contain small amounts of proteins. For example, occasionally a person can develop an allergy to an oil blend such as Valor, which is sold by Young Living. The allergy is not due to the essential oils of spruce, frankincense, rosewood, and blue tansy in the blend. It is due to the almond oil in the blend. So read your labels.

What may appear to be an allergic reaction to a blend of essential oils may be due to a carrier oil contained in the blend.


You can also have an allergic reaction to citrus oils which are cold pressed from the rind. However, while we refer to citrus oils such as orange, lemon, lime, and grapefruit as "essential oils," strictly speaking they are not. By definition, a true essential oil must be steam distilled, not expressed.

There are also oils extracted by solvents such as onycha, jasmine, and neroli. Strictly speaking, they too are not true essential oils. Technically, they should be called absolutes, not essential oils. One can have a true allergic reaction to these because, like the citrus oils, they have not passed through a distillation process and can contain traces of proteins, peptides, or amino acids.

Because of the nature of distillation by heat, steam, and water, that true essential oils must undergo, they do not contain the necessary compounds to trigger allergies because these compounds do not pass through the distillation process.

Hence, sensitivities to essential oils, in the sense of allergic reactions, are not possible. Allergic sensitivities are due to the body developing antibodies in response to certain nitrogenous molecules. No one has ever found antibodies in humans from essential oils. So if one has a reaction to an essential oil, it is something else. Not an allergy.

Hot Oils

There are oils that are naturally hot, such as oregano, thyme, mountain savory, cinnamon, cassia, and a few others. This is because of their phenolic compound content which cleanses our cells and paves the way to healing. Such oils can be taken internally via capsules or applied to the skin directly with caution or diluted with a fatty oil.

If burning or irritation occurs to the skin from such oils, prompt application of a vegetable oil layered over the essential oil will take care of the problem in short order.

The same thing applies if you get an essential oil in your eyes or if you swallow a hot oil, like oregano, and it burns your mouth and throat. Don't use water, use a vegetable oil for immediate relief. Pour it directly in the eyes or take it orally if your mouth or throat is affected.
 

Detox Reactions

As for sensitivities to essential oils that produce a skin rash or other allergic-like symptoms such as headaches or nausea, this is always a detox reaction. While allergic reactions get worse and worse with each exposure to the offending substance (allergen), detox reactions eventually get less and less severe with each exposure to an essential oil until it disappears completely once the toxins are cleared from the system.

When one has a detox reaction from an essential oil (which is a good thing), they need to back off from using oils for a while and increase their water intake and, perhaps, get into a cleansing routine for a month or so, going light on the use of essential oils for a while. What is happening in this kind of sensitivity is that the oils are detoxing too rapidly for the colon and kidneys to handle so the toxins come out through the skin as the third avenue for excretion. It is better to keep the rate of detox down to levels that are flushed out through the kidneys and colon, if possible.

Emotional Sensitivities

In rare cases, a person can react to a perfectly pure therapeutic grade essential oil as if it were an allergen or a toxin, but in reality the response is neither an allergy nor a detox. It is something else.

Another kind of sensitivity to essential oils has to do with emotions. In cases of extreme unresolved grief, which can be due to the loss of a loved one or other circumstances, one can become sensitive to anything, even the most harmless of things. In extreme cases, people can become universal responders, reacting to almost everything in what appears to be an allergic reaction. This malady is sometimes referred to as "Extreme Chemical Sensitivity" (ECS) or "Environmental Illness" (EI).

In such cases, some people have been known to react in an allergy-like fashion to even the purest of essential oils, such as those sold by Young Living. But healing from such an illness does not come by treating it as an allergy, because it is not an allergy in the classical sense. It is a spiritual-emotional disease and must be dealt with at that level.

The spiritual and symbolic message in this sort of reaction is that the individual is so depressed, unhappy, and unwilling to accept life as it has been given to them that they are rejecting all of creation and, thus, react negatively to everything. There is a scriptural reference to this in Proverbs 17:22, "A broken spirit dries the bones."

The basis of our immune system is in the marrow of the bones where the T-cells and other white corpuscles are formed. Allergies and other environmental or chemical sensitivities are due to malfunctions of the immune system at the level of the white corpuscles (leucocytes).

Hence, this Bible verse is actually referring to a negative autoimmune response originating in the bones caused by an individual's rejection of the world around them stemming from extreme grief or a broken spirit.

The solution to this spiritually rooted illness is to recognize the source of the grief, accept it, and deal with it. When that is done, the sensitivities disappear, usually within a few days and sometimes overnight.

Applying selected essential oils for emotional purposes can assist in revealing and releasing the buried feelings that underlie such a malady.

Adulterated Oils

There is one other source of sensitivity that may be blamed on essential oils and that has to do with perfume and food grade oils. True therapeutic grade essential oils are grown organically, harvested in proper ways and times, distilled gently at minimum temperatures and pressures, and bottled without any ingredients removed or added. All of the essential oils sold by Young Living are therapeutic grade oils. However, the vast majority of aromatic oils sold in retail stores and other places are perfume or food grade oils.

A true therapeutic grade essential oil contains hundreds of compounds, all of which are necessary in a proper balance for them to possess healing power. Since only a few of these compounds contribute significantly to aroma and/or taste, when essential oils are used for fragrances or flavors, the only compounds that matter to commercial users are the ones that have smell or taste. In some cases, this involves only 2 or 3 compounds in an oil, and the manufacturers and users don't care if these compounds are natural or synthetic so long as the smell and taste are there and the cost is cheap.

Hence, fragrance and food grade oils are always incomplete in their composition, containing only part of the chemical profile of a complete therapeutic grade oil. Furthermore, they are usually adulterated with synthetic compounds or diluted with petrochemicals to increase their volume and profitability.

One can have reactions to such oils, but these are not reactions to true essential oils. Such reactions are due to the adulterants in the oil. They are not caused by the natural essential oil components of the oil.

For More Information

So there you have it. As to what you should do in a given situation where sensitivities are encountered, you will have to decide. If you want a more detailed discussion on essential oils, reactions to them, and allergies, my book, THE CHEMISTRY OF ESSENTIAL OILS MADE SIMPLE, has a lengthy discussion of the subject. It is available from Essential Science Publishing, Abundant Health, and other sources. Hope this helps.

I recently began working for an association of trauma surgeons.
READ: Six very traditional allopathic docs who love to cut.

One morning, one of the docs came hobbling into the office with a badly broken toe and clearly in pain. I had some of the Pain & Muscle Spasm blend in my purse and thought about offering it for him to try, but I wondered,” Is this appropriate?” … I am new here and just becoming familiar with everyone and prescription remedies are clearly the first choice among this crowd.

Yet I went back to the surgeon’s office where he was talking with the head nurse practitioner, shoe off, foot propped up on the desk, big toe black with bruising and extremely swollen.  The break was already a couple days old. He looked up and said “Ya, what do you want?!!”

 “I noticed you’re hurting.

  This is something I personally use and it is often helpful.

  You’re welcomed to try it if you wish.”

He snorted, “Oh ya, what’s that?”

I answered, “This is an essential oil blend formulated to relieve symptoms and swelling.”

An undisguised smirk spread across his face – pure skepticism that made my heart pound and face blush red (gulp) but I shot back, “And if it works… you won’t be laughing!”

With that he surrendered – “SURE I’ll try anything, what do I do!”

I then gave HIM the roll-on bottle and directed him to coat the area in general. Even that light touch was excruciating, but he did as suggested, the head nurse practitioner witnessing the exchange, and I returned quietly to the front office hoping there would be no repercussions.

THE EPIPHANY

Ten minutes later, an astounded surgeon appeared – “HEY, what the heck is that stuff? I hate to admit it, but it WORKED!”  (Woo HOO!)  Further, he had no concept how such a thing could possibly work.  Honestly, I didn’t say a lot… I have waited a long time for this moment and small doses work just fine for a paradigm shift. All the co-workers were watching with fascination, many of them asking what is that stuff… and where can I get it? And I could see some serious mental wheels spinning everywhere.

Instead, I asked if he would like a few more oils layered on the area to improve on the situation? He plopped down and applied Lavender and Peppermint over the area, all the while marveling at how the swelling had clearly reduced and he was astounded at the tangible relief of the additional oils. Then off he went to surgery for the next trauma event.

A few hours later, a truly bewildered surgeon appeared again and displaying a normal sized toe and ball joint, the deep black bruising mostly wisps of red now as the bruising moved out. I offered another dose of the oils since it was Friday, and likely to be a long weekend for him with that toe.

NOW ABOUT THOSE VOO DOO OILS!

The following Monday I could hardly wait. When the surgeon appeared he strode directly toward me and announced loudly, “Now about those VOO DOO oils… you have no idea how it pains me to admit this, but they really WORKED! How much are they, and where can I get some?!!!”

I asked to see the toe, which had no swelling or bruising, even though he had been on it alot during the weekend. I offered another dose of oils and after applying them, he proceeded to stand in the middle of the room with everyone listening as he narrated how the oils were moving in, tingling, then cooling and numbing the pain… relief appearing on his face. He smiled and said he couldn’t wait to try it on his wife’s chronic neck symptoms… and from what I could gather he had been telling everyone about it.

***************************

When the oils arrived the following week, he was ecstatic! I also provided the EODR info on peppermint, lavender and the Pain/Muscle Spasm Blend, and pointed out the medicinal properties and uses, slipping in the Lemon info on the pathogens it neutralized by diffusion (Can anyone say hospital infection?) He was fascinated, scanning the information, asking questions, still not quite able to wrap his head around it but open. I mentioned Oil of Benzoin being the base for the long time wound and surgery disinfectant that hospitals had traditionally used… and how Coumadin and other meds were derived from isolated compounds in plants.

Basically, my explanation was that these oils are the “pure healing plant chemistry, before science got a hold of them and started messing with nature.” And I do believe he got it!  Wee Ha!

PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE!

I have been waiting YEARS for doorways such as this one to present themselves. And with this new job I receive calls all day long from people in pain, people being scheduled for the clinic or surgery and people who have become hooked narcotics and still hurting physically and emotionally. I find interesting that fate has placed me here, the silent holistic observer… where I cannot say a thing about alternative methods. The doc quipped that maybe he should quit what he is doing, and do what I do. Funny huh? His colleague confided that it’s a small miracle that he was receptive at all, being one of the more resistant to natural healing of the team. No doubt, there will be more good things to follow…

RESENTMENT

Bitterness and resentment create hardness in the body and in our lives. Bitterness and hard thoughts are believed to be the emotional source of gallstones. Anger and rage may damage the heart and endanger our lives.

For true healing to occur on any level, one must consider one’s daily emotional, mental, physical and spiritual diet in discerning the root cause. Are one’s thoughts filled with bitterness, resentment, anger or denial?

Consider this:

Love our most natural state,

Love is expansive

like the pebble tossed into the pool, rippling outward to infinity.

Love thus functions according to the laws of nature

and maintains itself once it is welcomed and reaffirmed.

Negative emotions are contracting and

make us smaller than our highest soul expression.

Small in other people’s eyes, small in our own.

Negative emotions are fear based

and signal separation, on some, level to one’s divinity.

• Negative feelings and thoughts occupy a great deal of space within us and require infinite resource to maintain. It keeps us from receiving love.
• The release of negativity allows us to be filled with those good things that we desire.
• Choosing to maintain negativity hurts primarily us, and everyone we touch. It is the way we will be remembered. Is this how we choose to be remembered?

Therefore, the cancellation of bitter thoughts with positive loving affirmation may well be the first step to healing bitterness in our lives, however it may manifest. This is a defining difference between being the river or the stone.

JUDGE NOT

If you have found yourself wedged between the bitter place of anger and resentment, waste no energy judging yourself. Better to go within and discern where the separation occurred. If you forgive that other person for the feeling of wrongdoing, other doorways may necessarily present themselves to you. Compelling questions that require courage to ask such as:

• Who am I?
• What is my life purpose?
• Can I forgive myself for choosing that hard lesson?
• Can I find the wisdom in it?
• Divinity exists within us all; regardless of how many layers we may have accumulated or acted out in the pain body …
• Could it be that every painful lesson is but a stepping stone across the river to one’s awakening?

WHAT DO WE GET FROM HOLDING ONTO RESENTMENT?

Maintaining resentment or bitterness towards another (or ourselves) may serve a purpose of distracting ourselves from considering such questions. As they say in “What the Bleep do you know?” How far down the rabbit hole are you willing to go?

In Carolyn L. Mein’s book, Releasing Emotional Patterns With Essential Oils,” she offers the following practice for releasing Resentment:

• In a quiet moment, call the feeling of Resentment to your heart.
• Imagine the times, events and people who you have held that feeling towards, including yourself.
• The opposite of Resentment is Embracement
• The positive affirmation is “I am wanted, lovable and I am whole.
• Speak the affirmation aloud, for the voice is 80 times more powerful than the silent thought.
• Inhale the essential oil of Lemongrass.
  Apply a drop to the Hepatic Duct (on your right side, between 7^th & 8^th Rib)
• Continue to affirm.
• You may also apply a drop of Lemongrass to the base of the skull and crown chakra.
• Dilute with a dab of carrier oil if it becomes hot, since Lemongrass has that nature.

 Repeat this practice as desired, even 7 times a day for 3 weeks, until the feeling and emotion is no longer charged for you. Affirm it until it is real and you are free from this limiting emotion.

As the years pass, I find when glancing back upon my journey that every step, every choice, every realization (even those which I once resented) make perfect sense in the order of awakening to my highest soul purpose. I believe that not a moment in time is ever wasted, not one. Accepting that notion opens all kinds of doors, both in receiving the full gift of my experiences and moving beyond them.

DEPRESSION

Text by Deborah Lynne Carlton

Excerpt from Carolyn Mein’s book indented.

One aspect of Depression could be explained as a backlog of suppressed anger and emotion, especially concentrated in the liver. Depression suppresses the immune system along with other physical functions such as digestion, hormone balance and sleep, etc. People with depression may express chronic fatigue, pain and auto-immune diseases as well as a loss of hope and excitement for life. 

Depression, Despair, Hopelessness and Grief disturb the thyroid function, where, coincidentally, unspoken feelings are often held.

People utilizing depression meds have shared that it seems to “suppress” the emotions so that they can “function,” however they feel unable to access emotions or release them, thus existing in a sort of emotional void with anger backing up inside. This may create a tendency to manipulate episodes of anger or rage, so to vent off some of these emotions, however true relief is rarely experienced from this venting, or from crying.

Therapeutic grade essential oils are able to access emotions stored in the body as well as those emotional centers of the brain including the DNA imprinting.

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. www.bodytype.com Following is tool for working with issues around Depression.

The opposite of Depression is “Alive”

The “Way Out” Affirmation is “I am glad I am alive.”

Utilizing the blend called “Peace & Calming” on the DEPRESSION alarm point.

1. Identify and FEEL the emotion DEPRESSION.
2. Deeply inhale the blend “PEACE & CALMING” taking it into all of your cells.
3. Feel the OTHER SIDE of the emotion (Alive)
4. Apply 1 drop of PEACE & CALMING to the DEPRESSION Alarm Point (behind ear along temporal bone), plus top of head, forehead and base of cranium.
5. Focus on the statement, “I am glad I am alive.”
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 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.

ANXIETY

Text by Deborah Lynne Carlton

Except from Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils (indented)

Anxiety affects so many people at some level, whether stemming from abuse or from a stressful core belief systems that leads us to fear losing control or being controlled. Simply being alive on planet earth at this time can be stressful.

Anxiety about the future weakens the pancreas and spleen. (The pancreas governs core life issues and survival, the spleen has to do with feeling life is unfair.) Anxiety is also depleting to the adrenals and requires a huge amount of our daily energetic and emotional resource. It keeps us in a state of hyper-vigilance and often hyper-reactivity, thus limiting any true feeling of wellness. People with depleted adrenals may also experience difficulty sleeping.

Therapeutic grade essential oils can be very effective in reducing or eliminating the cause and effect of anxiety, first by calming the nervous system and restoring a sense of peace and equilibrium. Secondly by working into the DNA and emotional centers of the brain where the abuse or core belief memories are held that fuel anxiety.

Single Oils for Anxiety: Geranium, Ylang ylang, Sandalwood

Blends for Anxiety: SARA*, Hope, Joy, Peace & Calming, RutaVaLa, Inner Child, Grounding, Trauma Life, Valor, Forgiveness, White Angelica

Excerpted from Carolyn L. Mein, DC’s phenomenal book, “Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils:”

1. Identify and FEEL the emotion ANXIETY
2. Deeply inhale the blend “JOY” taking it into all of your cells.
3. Feel the OTHER SIDE of the emotion (Confidence)
4. Apply 1 drop of JOY to the Capillary point (Level w/bottom of ribs, 2” lateral to midline), top of head, forehead and base of cranium.
5. Focus on the statement *Peace, Be Still*.
6. If desired, say the statement until something shifts and you feel it.
7. Repeat this process as often as useful. If Anxiety is deeply rooted, that may be 7 times a day for 3 weeks, if that is what it takes to clear the emotion of Anxiety from your life.

The Blend of Joy is formulated to produce the magnetic energy of joy in the heart, mind and soul. It inspires romance and helps overcome deep seated grief and depression and may be useful in times of loss. A drop applied daily to the liver may help ease out long held anger, rage and resentment. Apply a drop of Joy to the heart, navel, behind the ears, wrists, etc., as desired. Joy may also be worn as an alternative to perfume.

My sweetheart awoke recently with all the classic symptoms, and though he put on a good face and went to work, he returned home early and went to bed. That evening, I applied the following oils on his back and the soles of his feet in this order, using (5) drops on the back (feathered up and down, and smeared around) and (3) drops total to coat the feet.

1.    VALOR

2.    OREGANO & THYME (combined and applied at once)

3.    BASIL

4.    LAVENDER

5.    THIEVES (antimicrobial blend)

6.    PEPPERMINT

7.    VALOR

Taint rocket science, just get the oils on there and let them do the work!

The following morning, no fever, no aches, no chills. Still some symptoms to move through, but a much healthier, happier and more comfortable process.  Pretty amazing huh?  He actually went to work that day and did fine.

A Bit About These Oils:

VALOR is always the first oil applied in the Raindrop Oils session. It begins balancing the electrical/nervous system, clearing stress, swelling and emotional blockages along the spine, and setting the stage for good healing to occur.

OREGANO & THYME offer unique benefit of cleansing cell receptor sites throughout the body that can become disadvantaged due to infection, toxins, heavy metals and trauma. These receptor sites, (envision thousands per cell, and trillions of cells) are responsible for receiving the body’s coded messages which control immune response, waking up, going to sleep, digestion, etc. A very important function indeed. Oregano & Thyme are like the ground forces, clearing the way for deep healing.

OREGANO

The ultimate amplifier – Peppermint is often applied last as it amplifies the action of the preceding oils, and drives them into the system efficiently, doing its magic along the way. Ahhhhhhh!

VALOR

As and end note, Valor is applied again to seal in the other oils and encourage the body to hold this healing message.

FINAL TID BITS:

·   No moist packs were utilized, though this certainly would have been an additional benefit (on the back and feet both).

·   I like to wrap feet in moist towels and slip them into plastic bags and under warm blankets.  Wring out the towels.

·   Before using moist packs, be sure to coat the back with a small amount of V6, OrthoEase or a fatty oil (olive, grapeseed, jojoba, etc.) to decrease the burny chemistry of those hot infection fighting oils.

·   Any number of oils could have been used for this sequence, so long as Valor, Oregano & Thyme were the first three oils.

·   If you don’t have one oil, use what you do have.

·   For less the a day’s wages, you may feel exceptional relief, move through symptoms quicker and more comfortabley.

·   In this instance, many days of potentially lost wages were avoided.  

Additionally, research indicates that fish oils help regulate the body’s immune response. Young Living offers an impeccable fish oil supplement that includes beneficial essential oils.

Elderberry has also been shown as highly beneficial in protecting against flu. Search the topic and see what you find.
