Science behind the WOOOO- WOOOOO

        For a number of years I've been studying Taoist Chinese medicine and healing techniques.  I'm very much a believer in how prayer,visualization exercises, attitude and how you approach something will determine its out come. Prayer and a positive attitude has helped me a number of times. Over this time I've read a few articles that actually support some of my Ancient Chinese texts. Scientific study supporting thought that's thousands of years old. Now I read a new book, suggested to me by a friend, that is called "The Genie In Your Genes" by Dawson Church that supports through scientific study that attitude and the way you process stress and the way you visualize the outcome of things has a direct effect on the way your genes work and process the outcome of your well being. I've always felt that thoughts become things, if you think negative thoughts negative things will happen. Through scientific study this book supports the effect of prayer, postive thinking and the benefits of massage and other methods not accepted by our normal medical academia. Check this book out it might give you the insight or knowledge you need to improve your life beyond your normal beliefs

Try this Amazing and Nutritious Juice

        I'm in the market for a new juicer. I had a cheap one and a while ago the motor burnt out. Now I'm looking at a really good one. I love to make my own juice. Better yet my body loves the fresh juice. I can feel the cells in my body swell up with all the nutrition and goodness that only fresh squeezed juice has. If you ever try the recipe below you will be surprised at the energy and the feeling of well being you get from drinking just one glass of this mixture a day. It is full of potassium, vitamin c and beta carotene. It also helps you hydrate and gives you a full feeling.
              Try this for a very nutritious and sweet uplift; In your juicer add  one beet, depending on size three or four carrots, three or four stalks of celery, a cucumber and a bunch of parsley. You will be surprised at the sweetness of the beet, or at least I was when I first tried it. One note: Don't be shocked at the red color the next morning when you use the toilet. Ha,ha!!!!  

Thieves Household Cleaner

      During the summer, I order quite a bit of product from "Young Living", I really believe in their product line. With most of my orders I get that months promotions. One thing that I got free last summer was"Young Living" Thieves Household Cleaner. I set it aside because I had several other cleaners that were half full. After all an organic "green" cleaner couldn't be as good as these cleaners with all the grease busting chemicals, could it? In the mean time I had been really falling in love with the smell of Thieve Essential oil and had been using a Thieves spray that I had also gotten for free. Well, a couple of weeks ago, I thought I wold check this cleaner out. It did great on the my dirty kitchen counter, but that was fairly easy. Next I used it on a counter top convection oven I have and use fairly often. It makes the best rotisserie chicken, but that's another story. I used the Thieves cleaner on the built up,baked on gunk that had built up on the glass front. I also used it on the floor on some built up spills and grime in front of my counter. I'm here to tell you that with very little scrubbing the Thieves cleaner destroyed all that built up grime! Better and easier, I think, then something with nasty chemicals in it like Purple Power. As a bonus it leaves a super clean smell and if my kids (cats) were to lick at it, because its organic, I don't have to worry about it. It cleaned the floor in front of my counter so well that it makes the rest of the floor look even dirtier then it is. Once it warms up and the little bit of snow we have is gone. I'm pulling my area rugs outside and doing the rest of the floors in my cabin!    

Back Pain????

                For years I have suffered with a pinched nerve in my back which caused my arms and hands to go numb as I slept. I have seen a Chiropractor and that has always kept it in check.  I also see a Reflexologist from time to time. This last summer she told me I was getting pretty bad flat feet.  By the end of the summer I had developed what I was thinking was Achilles Tendonitis. It was getting very painful and made hiking difficult at best. My Reflexologist had suggested another Chiropractor that also did acupuncture. I had always been interested in acupuncture so I made an appointment to see this doctor. The doctor checked me out and suggested getting Orthotic shoe inserts that were made for my feet.  I thought about it and on my next visit she measured and took an imprint of me feet. When they came in I wore them that first week and low and behold the pain in my Achilles tendon went away. It’s been four months now and I haven’t had any problems with my tendon or the numbness in my arms and hands. It’s been pretty unbelievable. I will say that it was expensive, after the order and the three visits, the bill was a bit over five hundred dollars and it as a bad time for me because it was going into a time when a lot of money wasn’t coming in. But what cost do you put on being able to walk and sleep without being woken up in pain during the middle of the night? It was well worth it and I strongly suggest that anyone having problems with their ankles, legs or back to take a look at your feet. After all the feet is your foundation, much like the foundation of a building.

Thieves Oil

         I recently went to New York City for New Years. Two days before leaving I started sneezing and sniffling.  I immediately started rubbing drops of Young Livings “Thieves” essential oil into the bottom of my feet and then putting a drop in my hand, rubbing my hands together in a clock wise motion to get the oil molecules moving and then cupping my hand over my nose and mouth and breathing in three breaths and holding each breath.  I left for New York and ran the streets day and night for 5 days which included a six hour concert and a polar dip on New Years day in the Atlantic Ocean.  During the whole time I practically bathed in the “thieves” oil and felt great. I arrived back to my little cabin tired, broke and unfortunately out of “thieves”.  My body being totally worn out gave in to the cold and while I was down for a week when I got back I am convinced the “thieves “essential oil held off the sickness and in the end there were only two days during the week that I got back that I wasn’t functional.  I sincerely think that without the “Thieves Oil" the sickness would have come on much quicker,  possibly ruining my trip and being much sever then it actually was.

My use of "Young Living Essential Oils"

                                     

         I have been using "Young Living" products for a little over three years now.  I’m a distributor but haven’t really pushed to sale the products. Now that I have used a number of the products and have become a pretty big believer in what they are doing, well….. from time to time, I’d just like to share with you some of my success stories and some of my favorite products and then if you would like you can go to http://youngliving.org/Eddie  to order anything you’re interested in  and try it for yourself.

           When I started using some of the products from "Young living" a couple of the first free products I got were Lavender and Peppermint oil. I quickly fell in love with these two products.  A drop of Peppermint oil in a glass of water is not only refreshing but it’s also a great little pick me up and a great aid to weight loss. The Lavender oil is great for healing cuts and preventing infection. I’ve used it many times and it’s amazing how quickly it will help heal a wound.  These are the only two I used for a great while.They are still two of my favorites and consider them essential.

           With every order over a certain amount you get a little bonus in you order. So over time I got a few samples of different oils but never played around with them much.   That changed about a year ago.

           Now, lord knows, I’m no doctor and when I started getting into the whole raindrop, reflexology, therapeutic massage thing, I thought well, I’m not sure if this will actually improve my health, but at least I’ll smell good! Ha-ha! In the last year I’ve been playing around with some of the oils and have had some great success or at least I like them enough to keep using them.  They seem to give me a lift. I don’t know how to describe it but it’s a positive vibration, things seem to be constantly getting better. I can feel things getting better. Now I don’t contribute all this to Young Living, I have been trying to go in this direction for a while, it hasn’t always been easy, but the positive energy, the feeling of well being has increased in speed since I have been using these products.  Sounds like a bunch of new age hocus- pocus right? That’s what I thought three years ago.  Here is a list of oils I have been using. I urge you to contact me or another Young living distributor. I only want your life to improve as much as mine has. Try some of these products and make up your own mind.   

          After using lavender and peppermint for a while I received a bottle of Joy one of the many oil blends that "Young Living" has. I’ve used it as cologne. I also rub it on my chest where my heart is, it has a wonderful aroma and everyone seems to like it.

   Awaken is a blend I rub on my head and back of my neck, I don’t know but all these blends I’m listing here just seem to give me an uplift to my day when I put them on in the morning.

    Abundance is probably the most refreshing out of these three.

 Then there is Magnify Your Purpose. I will put a drop of this on the palm of my hand and cup my hand over my face and I can immediately feel the synapses in my head firing and my head clear as if a breath of fresh air has cleaned out all the cobwebs. This is a powerful oil that I get amazing results with.

   There is one called Valor, I’m telling you the ones I like and I’m going to tell you the ones I haven’t had much result with. Valor is one of these; I don’t know maybe I haven’t given it enough time.  I’ve been using it about as long as some of the others but just don’t get feel the pizzazz that I get from the others.

Panaway is one I wasn’t sure about at first, I didn’t think much of it, but when I was having trouble with my Achilles tendon it worked pretty well. So, I would say that now, if I have a muscle pain or something of that nature I would definitely use Panaway on it and that could happen with the Valor oil. Maybe I just haven’t used it in the right way.

        I’ve used Thieves and I like Frankincense. The Thieves is supposed to be great for getting rid of mold and there again, I’ve used it as a cologne with great success.

    Then there are oils that I have actually used in cooking and drinks. When adding oils to cooking you add them when you are ready to serve and not during the cooking process.  I have used Lemon and Orange oil with great success on chicken and in my collard or turnip greens.  Young Living probably wouldn’t like me advocating this but I’ve made cocktails with vodka, mineral water, Squirt or ginger ale and added Orange, Lemon, and or Tangerine oils even Grapefruit oil. Even Ningxia Red itself.  I look forward to using thyme oil and oregano oil in my cooking in the near future.

        There are supposed to be all kinds of health reasons for using these oils. They are supposed to work from the cellular level so like herbs or many things that are natural, it takes time. It’s not like going to the doctor and getting a pill. I think the results over time are much better and much more long lasting to the “Whole Body” and well worth it.
