AromaBalance Session

A powerful way to improve your health and well being is through chakra balancing.  To achieve this balance I combine Reiki energy healing with doTERRA Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils.  The oils chosen for this technique work to give your body a natural boost and allow unbalanced chakras to heal.

What are chakras?  Chakras are energy centers that are positioned along the body.  They function as energy transformers, taking the energy from the environment around you and transporting it into and around your body.  They also take energy from your body and release it into the environment.  

There are seven main chakra centers that are positioned along the spine from the base all the way up to the top of your head.  Each of these is associated with different emotions, glands, and parts of the body.  An imbalance in any of these energy centers can affect your health.  The food we eat, the people we spend our time with, the environment, our attitude and stress are just a few of the things that can affect the health of our chakras. 

When your chakras are healthy and clear, your life flows smoothly.  When any of these energy centers of the body become weak, blocked or over-stimulated, it may lead to symptoms of physical, emotional or spiritual imbalance.  Keeping your chakras healthy will help to keep your body in balance resulting in emotional and physical wellness.

The Chakra Balancing oils used in the technique are Frankincense, AromaTouch, OnGuard, Elevation, Serenity, Whisper, Breathe, Digest Zen, Citrus Bliss, Balance and Purify.

Oil Pulling

What is Oil Pulling?

Oil Pulling is a safe, simple, cheap and gentle procedure who’s benefits range from bringing health to your mouth and ridding your mouth of harmful toxins and bacteria, to a method that cures and prevents diseases and extends your healthy life.

Studies are on-going, but the procedure is gaining more and more popularity as people are finding success and positive results with oil pulling.  We will explain the details of oil pulling later in this article, but the basics involve pulling and swishing 1 tablespoon of Coconut, Olive, Grapeseed or some other quality oil around your mouth and through your teeth for up to 20 Min., then spitting.  The therapy is simple and completely harmless, as you do not ingest medication or drugs.

Oil pulling was practiced in Ayurvedic medicine. Modern oil pulling was introduced in 1992 by Dr. F. Karach, MD. Dr. Karach claimed that this treatment will achieve remarkable results with illnesses like migraine headaches, bronchitis, diseased teeth, arterio thrombosis, chronic blood disorders such as leukemia, arthritis and related illnesses, neuro-physiological paralysis, eczema, gastro enteritis, peritonitis, heart disease, kidney disease, meningitis, and woman’s hormonal disorders are completely eliminated from the organism.  Dr. Karach’s claims that oil pulling heals the whole body in perpetuity.   He sites results with terminal diseases such as cancer, aids and chronic infections.

According to the African Journal of Microbiology Research, oil pulling is an effective defense against the bacteria associated with dental caries (tooth decay). Studies show that it has also been beneficial in the elimination of bleeding gums, the fastening of loose teeth and the visible whitening of the teeth.

Many advocates of oil pulling suggest safflower, sunflower or vegetable oil, but more and more studies and successes are finding higher quality oils are more effective.   The anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties of whole, extra virgin coconut oil makes it the perfect choice for oil pulling and certainly is gaining popularity.

The use of essential oils added to the primary pulling oil is slow to find it’s way to most oil pulling enthusiasts because of the lack of superior essential oils that are CPTG quality.   But as people discover how a CPTG essential oil can benefit oil pulling, essential oils will become more and more popular in oil pulling.

Does maintaining a healthy mouth help you have a healthy body?

Up-and-coming science suggests that advanced gum disease can be linked to diabetes, cardiovascular problems, and pre-term birth.

The Early stages of gum disease is gingivitis-which affects a majority of all adults at some point in their lives, and most don’t even know it.

Many theories exist and more studies are underway to explore the connection between good oral health and overall health. The conclusions lead us to know that a healthy mouth leads only to good things.

Lets explore these connections more.

Persistent halitosis (bad breath) is often a sign of a more serious problem in your mouth. Poor oral hygiene and gum disease are the primary causes of halitosis.

It is estimated that around 50% of adults have some form of gingivitis. Gingivitis, if left untreated, may progress to a more serious condition called periodontitis.

Besides weakening your teeth to the point of loosing them, studies suggest that periodontitis may affect the health of your entire body.  

On going studies suggests that periodontitis may be associated with diabetes, heart disease, and numerous other health issues.

Heart Disease and Heart Attack

Studies suggest that advanced gum disease may be a contributing factor to heart disease.  The theory is that gum disease or periodontitis, allow oral germs to enter the bloodstream. These germs may affect the heart by attaching to the fatty plaques in your arteries, contributing to the formation of clots. According to this theory, these clots, in turn, can cause the restriction of blood flow (a.k.a. atherosclerosis) which may lead to a heart attack.

Stroke

On going studies also suggest that advanced gum disease may be associated with the presence of blocked arteries in the brain, a condition which may lead to a stroke.

Further studies advise that gum disease, if allowed to progress, may allow germs to enter the bloodstream. These germs may attach to the fatty plaques in your arteries, contributing to the formation of clots. According to this theory, these clots, in turn, can cause the restriction of blood flow and, in some cases, a stroke.

Diabetes

Emerging science also suggests that diabetes and gum disease may be linked. Not only does diabetes increase your chance of gum infection, but gum infection may make diabetes harder to control.

Diabetics are significantly more likely to develop gum disease because of the way diabetes slows the body’s natural healing process. Research also suggests that advanced gum disease may have an adverse effect on blood-sugar levels-potentially making diabetes treatment less effective.

Can essential oils help with oral care, therefore health care?

This is where effective oral care can become a necessary part of health care.  Essential oils used the with an oral care routine that includes brushing, flossing and oil pulling with anti-septic and anti-bacterial essential oils can prevent gingivitis and peridontitis, thus improving our over all health care.

Exactly how do you do it?

Prior to breakfast on an empty stomach you take one tablespoon of coconut or other carrier oil and add 3-6 drops of essential oils.  

Add your essential oils based on issues.  They might include, but are NOT limited to:

·   On Guard – General immune system, mouth and gum health, teeth problems, halitosis, cold, flu, sore throat, virus.

·   Oregano – Flu, Cold, Virus, sore throat, swollen glands, cold sores, herpes, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, antibiotic, anti viral.

·   Clove – Mouth and Gum, analgesic, anti-biotic, and antiseptic.

·   Frankincense – Analgesic, cold & flu, mouth surgery, mouth trauma, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory.

·   Geranium – mouth and gum, throat, laryngitis, analgesic, antiseptic

·   Grapefruit – Cleansing, detoxifying, anti-septic, antibacterial.

·   Lemon – Cleansing, detoxifying, cold, sore throat, anti-septic.

·   Lemongrass – herpes, halitosis,  

·   Melaleuca – Cold, flu, Immune system, braces irritation, Gum and mouth sores, Congestion, herpes, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial,, antiseptic.

·   Myrrh – mouth, teeth and gum, cold & flu, tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, antiseptic.

Take the oils into the mouth but do not swallow it.  Move the oil slowly in the mouth as rinsing or swishing and as Dr Karach puts it; ” sip, suck and pull through the teeth” for fifteen to twenty minutes.  This process thoroughly mixes the oils with saliva.  Swishing activates the enzymes and the enzymes draw toxins out of the blood. The oil must not be swallowed, for it has become toxic. As the process continues, the oil gets thinner and white.  It is then spit from the mouth, the oral cavity must be thoroughly rinsed and mouth must be washed thoroughly. Just use normal tap water and brush with normal toothpaste, or on guard with water.

This has in effect pulled toxins and poisons out through the mucous membranes of the mouth to be expelled.  If you use virgin coconut oil, expel into the garbage, as it can solidify in the drain.

It is important to understand that during the oil-pulling/swishing process one’s metabolism is intensified. Many feel this leads to improved health.  For many, the most striking results of this process is the fastening of loose teeth, the healing of sores, the elimination of bleeding gums and the visible whitening of the teeth.

The oil pulling /swishing is done best before breakfast. To accelerate the healing process, it can be repeated three times a day, but it is always best before meals on an empty stomach.

Remember, do not swallow. The oil should be spat out.

Per Dr. Karach, that this treatment will achieve remarkable results with illnesses like migraine headaches, bronchitis, diseased teeth, arterio thrombosis, chronic blood disorders such as leukemia, arthritis and related illnesses, neuro physiological paralysis, eczema, gastro enteritis, peritonitis, heart disease, kidney disease, meningitis, and women’s hormonal disorders are completely eliminated from the organism. The benefit according to Dr. Karach’s is that the oil therapy heals the whole body in perpetuity. In terminal diseases such as cancer, aids and chronic infections Dr. Karach reports this treatment method has been shown to achieve astonishing results.

Essential Oils – Where do I begin?

This is the question that so many of us have when looking at essential oils! Using essential oils is simple and highly satisfying, but with so many oils and oil blends available it can be overwhelming for beginners. As a simple first step to your journey with essential oils, I recommend our introductory essential oil kit. This kit includes our most popular oils-lavender, peppermint and lemon. These 3 essential oils will provide you and your family a compelling experience with the life-enhancing properties of therapeutic grade essential oils.

Lavender is our most popular oil. It is widely used and acknowledged for its calming and relaxing properties. Here are a few ways that I like to use lavender:
• Apply to the bottom of feet before sleeping for a calming effect
• Apply to bee stings or bug bites to calm the reaction
• Add to bath salts or fractionated coconut oil for a relaxing bath
• Apply to your wrist during stressful situations
• Apply to sunburn or scalded skin to soothe
• Apply to back and feet or a restless child
• Use with fractionated coconut oil to soothe diaper rash
• Calm sensitive skin and soothe pores after hair removal
• Apply to chapped lips before applying lip balm
• Use with peppermint for a healthy scalp massage
• Add to lotion or fractionated coconut oil for a stress relieving hand massage
• Add one drop to a band aid pad to soothe a cut or scrape

Peppermint is my personal favorite essential oil. I think it was the first oil I ever experienced! As an essential oil, it is useful to ease breathing and as a digestive aid. Here are a few ways to use peppermint:
• Take one drop internally to calm indigestion or upset stomach.
• Add to hot water and drink as a tea or cold water for a refreshing drink
• Add to a cold compress to reduce fever
• Use with lemon to disinfect your toothbrush after or during illness
• Diffuse aromatically or apply topically to open sinuses and airways
• Apply with lavender to sore, tired muscles and joints
• Breathe during a meal to help you feel full
• Add to a cold water compress or foot bath to cool off when overheated
• Inhale as a non-stimulant, invigorating pick me up on long drives
• Add to shampoo and conditioner for a stimulating hair and scalp massage
• Diffuse during study time for alertness

Lemon is known as a powerful aromatic, topical, and internal cleanser and can be used to complement many other oils. Diffusing lemon in a room can cleanse the air and uplift mood. It can also be used on surfaces throughout the home as a non-toxic cleaner. Here a few other ways you can use lemon:
• Add a drop to a glass of water served at a restaurant to cleanse
• Diffuse or apply topically for mood elevation
• Add to drop of honey to soothe a cough or sore throat
• Dilute with fractionated coconut oil for a daily conditioning nail massage
• Apply directly to cold sores for soothing relief
• Diffuse in a room to neutralize odors
• Remove gun, label adhesives, and greasy substances from fabric
• Add to olive oil for a non-toxic furniture polish
• Use to clean kitchen counters and stainless steel appliances

Oregano Essential Oil

Powerful antioxidant and immunity support, nature’s strongest antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, lymphatic stimulator, supports respiratory system.

Oregano Essential Oil is our first choice when coming down with a cold or flu symptoms. My husband and I use 6 drops of Oregano in a capsule 3 times a day and for my son, we apply 2 drops of the oil to his feet and then cover them with socks.

Oregano is a hot oil, so I do not recommend taking by mouth without first diluting it or putting it into a capsule. You can purchase capsules at your local health food store. Also, for young children, be sure to cover the feet immediately so they do not touch the oil and then touch themselves.

Here is a wonderful article on the benefits of using Oregano Essential Oil and the research. Be sure when using essential oils that you are using only Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade for health and wellness benefits!

Oil Of Oregano Rivals Modern Antibiotic Drugs
by Bill Sardi

Oil pressed from oregano leaves that contain the active ingredient carvacrol may be an effective treatment against sometimes drug-resistant bacterial infection. Georgetown University researchers have found that oil of oregano appears to reduce infection “as effectively as traditional antibiotics.”

Oil of oregano at relatively low doses were found to be efficacious against Staphylococcus bacteria and was comparable in its germ-killing properties to antibiotic drugs such as streptomycin, pencillin and vancomycin. [Science Daily 10/11/2001] The findings were presented by Harry G. Preuss, MD, professor of physicology and biophysics, Georgetown University, at the American College of Nutrition’a annual meeting in Orlando, Florida.

Earlier this year researchers at the Department of Food Science at the University of Tennessee reported that, among various plant oils, oil of oregano exhibited the greatest antibacterial action against common pathogenic germs such as Staph, E. coli and Listeria. [Journal Food Protection, Volume 64, July 2001] Last year British researchers reported oregano oil had antibacterial activity against 25 different bacteria. [Journal Applied Microbiology, Volume 88, February 2000] A clinical study in Italy has shown that oil of oregano can be used to treat intestinal parasites. [Phytotherapy Research, Volume 14, May 2000]

The body of positive evidence for oregano oil as a major antibiotic is growing. Among 52 plant oils tested, oregano was considered to have “pharmacologic” action against common bugs such as Candida albicans (yeast), E. coli, Salmonella enterica and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [Journal Applied Microbiology, volume 86, June 1999] Pseudomonas is a type of germ that is getting more difficult to treat as it has developed strains that are resistant against antibiotic drugs.

Of recent interest are reports showing that carvacrol from oil of oregano kills spores, such as Bacillus cereus and Bacillus anthracis (anthrax). [Archives Microbiology, Volume 174, October 2000; Quarterly Review Biology, Volume 73, March 1998] Bacillus cereus is considered to be from the same species as Bacillus anthracis (anthrax). [Applied Environmental Microbiology, Volume 66, June 2000] In tests of antibiotics and antiseptics, Bacillus cereus is often used in studies in lieu of the anthrax strain. [University of Michigan News & Information Service, Sept. 23, 1998]

Oil of oregano is not to be confused with common oregano in the kitchen spice cupboard, which is usually marjoram (Origanum majorana or O. vulgare) rather than true oregano (Origanum vulgare).

The growing problem of antibiotic resistance has health authorities concerned. Already various germs are showing resistance to vancomycin, particularly to intestinal bacteria (Enterococcal species) among hospitalized patients. [Southern Medical Journal, Volume 94, August 2001] Vancomycin is considered to be the most potent antibiotic available and is withheld from use as a drug of last resort. Vancomycin costs about $16 per pill versus about $1 for the purest-strength oregano oil. Drug resistance does not develop against naturally-occuring antibiotics such as garlic and oil of oregano.

Eucalyptus Essential Oil

Eucalyptus is a key ingredient in many cough and throat medicines and also in chest ointments. I love using it for easing sinus pressure and congestion. It is also used widely both for its calming and clearing properties as well as to ease breathing. Here are a few tips for using Eucalyptus essential oil:

• Apply to chest and feet to clear congestion and ease coughs
• Apply to sinus area to soothe pain and pressure
• Mix with fractionated coconut oil to relieve muscle pain
• Diffuse to enhance breathing
• Add to hot water and inhale to reduce nasal congestion
• Add to a cold compress to reduce a fever

21 Spiritual Resolutions for the New Year

This excerpt was adapted from Unity Magazine.

By Victor M. Parachin

Now’s the time of year for … taking stock of your life.

1. Have an in-depth look at your life. Ask yourself: What needs attention? Where does improvement need to take place? How can I serve God and others more effectively? Then, after you compile a mental list, choose just one thing you’d like to work on today.
2. Practice the attitude of gratitude daily. There’s always something to be thankful for; find it.
3. Let your light shine. Offset darkness by being light. Remember what Jesus said: “You are the light of the world. … Let your light shine.” (Mt. 5:14, 16)
4. Stretch yourself. Do something to expand your comfort zone. Push yourself to make a difficult phone call, reach out for a new friend, sign up for the marathon.
5. Offset meanness, pettiness and vulgarity. The best way to do this is by constantly being a person who is courteous, respectful, kind, grateful and who exhibits a generosity of spirit.
6. Budge a grudge. “Forgiveness is the power that enlivens relationships. Forgiveness keeps life moving forward, creates harmony, and makes you spiritually strong,” writes Maoshing Ni in his book Secrets of Longevity: Hundreds of Ways to Live to Be 100.
7. Listen more than you talk. Many people you encounter daily are struggling under some burden. Listen with kindness, sympathy and understanding.
8. Do it now! Don’t delay. Don’t procrastinate. You’ve wanted to take that class—do it now! You’ve wanted to begin an exercise program—do it now! You’ve wanted to sing in the church choir—do it now!
9. Refrain from complaining. When Unity minister Rev. Will Bowen challenged his congregation at One CommUnity Spiritual Center in Kansas City, Missouri, to go complaint-free for 21 days and gave them purple bracelets to wear as a reminder, the atmosphere at the church changed. … Bowen says, “We’re always affirming either what we want or don’t want, so we want to affirm our good or that which we desire.”
10. Deal with your demons. “When you have faults, do not fear to abandon them” was the teaching of Confucius.
11. Avoid gossip. There’s too much of that going around. Stop yourself and discourage others from gossiping by changing the subject, saying something positive about the person being gossiped about, or excuse yourself and walk away from the conversation.
12. Cultivate a healthy perspective. When problems emerge, a balanced perspective is vital. Here is wisdom from John C. Maxwell in his book The Winning Attitude: “There is an expression I use quite often when I sense that the difficulties of the day are overwhelming me. At the moment when I have ‘had enough’ I say, ‘This too shall pass!’ That brief statement really works. It helps me gain perspective on my situation.”
13. Look for the good in everyone. Make it your goal to appreciate something about every person you encounter. Then share your appreciation with them. You will uplift and brighten their day.
14. Be more personable. Address people by name. As you go through a checkout line, see if the cashier is wearing a name tag. If so, thank him or her by name.
15. Have a beginner’s mind. “Being a student means you have room for new input,” writes Wayne W. Dyer in his book Real Magic: Creating Miracles in Everyday Life. “When you are green, you grow; when you are ripe, you rot. By staying green you will avoid the curse of being an expert. When you know in your heart that every single person you encounter in your lifetime has something to teach you, you are able to utilize their offerings in a profound way.”
16. Look for God in all of life. Think about these words from T. Byram Karasu, author of The Spirit of Happiness: Discovering God’s Purpose for Your Life: “You may find God in the laughter of your children; the grief of a friend; the opening of forsythias after a long winter; the noisy joyfulness of birds and wind; or the quiet testimony of ants and cobwebs. God’s altar is everywhere and in everything.”
17. Live hopefully. No matter what happens, always focus on your hopes, not your hurts.
18. Be enthusiastic. “Enthusiasm makes ordinary people extraordinary,” observed minister Norman Vincent Peale.
19. Be an encourager. Your kind words can make the difference between going on or giving up for someone who is struggling. Anthony Kubek hated high school so much that he quit. His basketball coach, however, saw talent and encouraged him to reconsider. Kubek returned, graduated, went on to college, and even earned a doctorate. He became an expert on China and wrote nine books. Much of that success can be traced back to a coach who encouraged a frustrated teenage boy decades earlier.
20. Practice great patience. Be a patient driver. Be patient with your colleagues, family and neighbors.
21. Keep fine-tuning your life. Singer and breast cancer survivor Sheryl Crow observes: “We talk about defining moments, but I think nothing can define you. They’re all refining moments. You’re constantly refining yourself and refining your life.”

The Chakras

THE CHAKRAS

Chakras are energy centers that are positioned along the body.  They function as energy transformers, taking the energy from the environment around you and transporting it into and around your body.  They also take energy from your body and release it into the environment.  

In Sanskrit the word chakra means “wheel” and refers to the shape and the spinning nature of chakras.  A healthy and balanced chakra will spin clockwise and quicker than one out of balance and will be able to transform the energies around you faster.

There are seven main chakra centers that are positioned along the spine from the base all the way up to the top of your head.  Each of these is associated with different emotions, glands, and parts of the body.  An imbalance in any of these energy centers can affect your health.  The food we eat, the people we spend our time with, the environment, our attitude and stress are just a few of the things that can affect the health of our chakras. 

When your chakras are healthy and clear, your life flows smoothly.  When any of these energy centers of the body become weak, blocked or over-stimulated, it may lead to symptoms of physical, emotional or spiritual imbalance.  Regular Reiki healing sessions and daily meditation are both wonderful ways to achieve and maintain balance in the body.  Keeping your chakras healthy will help to keep your body in balance resulting in emotional and physical wellness.

The ROOT CHAKRA is Red and is located at the base of the spine.  It is associated with issues of survival, drive, ambition, grounding ones energy in the physical dimension, your life forces and balancing experiences that create fight or flight. 

The SACRAL/SPLEEN CHAKRA is Orange and is positioned in the lower abdomen just about two inches below the navel.  It is associated with creativity, sexuality, relationship and reproduction.

The SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA is Yellow and is located below the sternum above the stomach.  It is associated with issues of personal power, emotions (especially blocked emotions), passion for living, and the ability to protect oneself from being the target of negative or aggression emotions.

The HEART CHAKRA is Green or Pink and is positioned in the center of the chest.  It is associated with compassion, friendship, empathy and the ability to give and receive love.

The THROAT CHAKRA is Light Blue and located in the throat and upper chest area.  It is associated with communication, expression and speaking ones truth.

The THIRD EYE/BROW CHAKRA is Dark Indigo Blue and located between your eyebrows.  It is associated with intuition, understanding, visualization and inner vision.

The CROWN CHAKRA is Violet and White and located at the crown of the head.  It is associated with cosmic awareness, spirituality and your connection with the Divine.
