WHY MASSAGE?

 

Attending to the Physical:

** Improves and increases circulation of blood and lymph flow

** Provides relief from joint and muscle tension

** Aids in the removal of metabolic wastes

**  Helps reduce muscle spasms and pain

**  Lowers blood pressure and damaging high cortisol levels

Attending to the Emotions

**  Helps to lessens and neutralize anxiety

**  Evokes a deep state of relaxation and calming

**  Re-connects the body/mind/spiritual bond

**  Provides a safe place to look forward to letting go

Attending to the mind:

**  Helps diminish the damaging effects of mental stress

**  Allows a greater awareness of overall stress and sense of self-control

**  Provides clearer thinking and a relaxed state of alertness from more O2

**  Gently calms the sympathetic  system, to be quietly present

WHY AROMATHERAPY?

 

**  Nature’s living energy – essential oils resonate more closely with our cells

**  Inhaling relaxing oils like Lavender or Lemon quickly go to the limbic portion of the brain gently soothing the emotions

**  Attention to pain can be immediate with Peppermint, Pan Away or Basil

**  Therapeutic grade essential oils with care, love and intention can profoundly and swiftly shift you to a more energetic, calm or peaceful place

**  Topically, inhaling or injesting essential oils during a massage allows for a cohesive spiritual grounding that the busyness of life, electrical connections and trying relationships may alter

**  A more viable, safer and greener method to restore balance and vitality

**  Essential oils have the highest electrical frequency (Rose oil the highest) to be an ally for health so disease, chemicals and toxins have extreme difficulty taking hold

**  God’s medicines and Nature have a much longer track record than the alternative – centuries or the counterpart –  decades

    There are over 125 million people suffering from chronic disease in the U.S. today; all of them looking for answers to their affliction, many struggling to find a way out of the WILDERNESS  of our modern healthcare system.  As Young Living educators, we have the privelege and unique opportunity to extend our hands to those on the edge of the WILDERNESS.  By touching their lives in a manner that escorts them out of the WILDERNESS, harmony, joy and radiant health can be restored.  What an auspicious time to begin the journey toward healthy living!!

      When we hear the word invest, our thoughts naturally go to money, time and energy.  Let’s consider investing in people – those who are committed to reclaiming their health.  Investing in people – in their health and our health is a viable plan for the future.  At a time when there is so much to be unsure of in this economy, Young Living offers safe, predicatable, and effective products for remedying what ails us.

      Young Living is a solid investment; they prepare us with the finest cutting edge support materials and educational opportunities.  They enhance and transform our lives with essential oil infused supplements, personal care products, and the know-how to use them, resulting in bountiful health and radiant vitality for all.  This provides a foundation from which to share, teach, and witness the positive and wide reaching impact that quality therapeutic grade essential oils can have on the world.

      As a former jockey, I compare this investment to another business experience – horse racing.  In horse racing, there are claiming horses that can be bought for a set price after the starting gate opens and after the race begins.  At the end of the the race, the trainer and groom take the horse they have claimed to their barn, and in a good trainer’s hands, a transformation can begin over time.  I have seen dull, listless, and sad racehorses change into shiny, healthy coats, with clear eyes and a happy attitude.  This leads to improved races.  It takes a sound diet, supplements, a new regime, as well as love and patience to turn a horse around.  Just like this example of happier racehorses, the same can be said of YL distributors and friends who have learned to invest in themselves and others.  Many beautiful benefits are obvious with time – physically, emotionally, spiritually, and financially.

      Our Young Living Grand Convention continues this week in Salt Lake City, Utah, for all to gather for excellent leaders, researchers, and teachers all helping us learn as much as possible for the future of green, natural health.  The focus this year on the oil of Frankincense – the Crown Jewel of oils for healing will reveal much to be shared over many years.  Look for a future post on the above.

      It would be an honor for more dedicated people to join my YL family to help spread the word of natural and holistic healing options for all from such a high integrity company such as Young Living.  Click here www.youngliving.org/lindapenkala  to begin your journey that can change your life and that of manyothers for years to come.

      The beautful thing about incorporating aromatherapy and essential oils into our lives is that we can be our own creative NATURAL chemist and make blends for particular scenarios and needs through the year.  As we come into the summer, let’s embark on some healthy, chemical free and DEET free natural essential oil based options for our skin and clothes.

MOSQUITO AND BUG REPELLENT -  in a large spray bottle fill with water and put lemon, peppermint, eucalyptus radiata, and lemongrass.  15 drops of each, then shake well before using.   The blend Purification I use as it has many effective oils that keep bugs away – especially citronella and can be made the same way.

MOTH REPELLENT:  Patchouli

HORSE FLY REPELLENT: Idaho tansy floral water, which you can make yourself the same as above

COCKROACH REPELLENT: Mix 10 drops peppermint and 5 drops cypress in 1/2 cup salt water.  Shake well and spray where you see them

SILVERFISH REPELLENT: Eucalyptus radiata

APHIDS REPELLENT: Mix 10 drops spearmint and 15 drops orange oils in 2 quarts of salt water, shake well, and spray on the plants

Some suggestions I have learned over the years is to  mark the bottle as to the oils, and the area – garden, family repellent, or insects around home.  I have found that ants either despise peppermint oil in water or clove oil to keep them away – it is a matter of finding the correct ones to get the job done.  HAPPY BUG FREE SUMMER!!
