You Only Need One Drop

10/17/2017

Detoxing the liver is a big plus with doTERRA Essential Oils. But remember, you only need a drop or two when you use essential oils. Keep these key points in mind when thinking about how the liver processes essential oils.

Liver breaks down every essential oil utilized
The larger the quantity the more the liver has to deal with. Less oils more frequently is always better
Times it takes to break down? Varied opinions from 30-120 minutes.
Excessive use at one given time can reduce the effects of that oil.

Less is More!

Reflexology Points

10/14/2017

I love putting doTERRA essential oils on my feet. On top of the reflexology points, the bottom of your feet have big pores so the oils are absorbed much better. You can even do this on your babies feet, just always remember you have to dilute when using essential oils with children. They are very powerful.

Another great place is on your hand. Just put one drop of oil in your palms, rub around gently, then massage that one spots that really needs it. Sometimes you'll know, and sometimes your body will tell you and there will be a spot that is just a little more sensitive than others.

You Are What You Eat

10/14/2017

So true!

There are so many foods in today's world that are not good for our bodies, and our bodies let us know. Our food has been so modified, it's not what nature had in mind for our nutrition.

And processed foods, too. We need to eat as many organic, natural, unprocessed, non-modified foods as possible. Gluten/Wheat, Dairy, and Sugar and big culprits. If you are having digestive issues, you really need to begin a path to better eating.

Check out this great article that talks about how essential oils can help us on our journey to great eating habits.

Set a Daily Intention - Limbic Resonance

10/11/2017

Limbic Resonance - Every heard of it?

It is truly amazing, and has scientific backing. Basically, it refers to your emotional system synchronizing with others around you. You become in-tune to each others inner states.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbic_resonance

When your limbic brain resets, those near you can actually sense and imbibe that shift. So try and set a good intention at the beginning of your day. Make your day, and others, even better.

Some examples are:
I intend to ...
manifest happiness naturally.
lead by example.
be open to success and abundance.
stop taking things personally.
forgive others, and myself.
love unconditionally.
make meditation a more important part of my lifestyle.
make someone smile every day.
accept whatever happens as if I had chosen it.
channel delight into my day.
gain strength.
witness Divinity in everyone.
develop a skill and improve myself.
bring light into other people’s day.
show up for myself.
respond first, and then react.
allow myself grace.
encourage and inspire by being my authentic self.
follow the flow.
hustle and work hard with the peace of knowing that I am loved regardless of the outcome.
create more simplicity and peacefulness in my day.
discover who I am and what I enjoy.
give back to the community that has inspired me.
explore something I’ve never seen before.
pause before responding in conversation and lead with empathy and love.
give up control and let God handle it.
be afraid and do it anyway.
dance like nobody is watching.
rise to meet my own standards.
answer the call of service.
live authentically and unapologetically.
be selective with my time.
be the person my friends can rely on.
find beauty in everything.
Or choose just one word - Peace; Joy; Clarity, Travel; Caring; Generosity; Love; Sharing; ...

Try writing a good intention on a piece of paper and carry it around with you and refer to it often. Put it on your desk or in your car. You can even put a drop of an essential oil on the paper to enhance the experience. Keep referring to it throughout the day. At the end of the day, reflect on how well you did, and how it improved your day.

I would love to hear feedback on how it went. Please feel free to comment about your own experience.

Sleep - So Important!!

Sleep is so important. Our bodies need that down time to regenerate and repair.

Check out this article about how important a good nights sleep is, and how you can get back to sleep if you wake during the night.
