Try These Essential Oil Remedies


             Insomnia
~ Is A Thing Of The Past ~

    ~ Prior to being introduced to    
    YL oils, I took Trazadone and,
    later,     Ambien, to help me
    sleep. After getting Stress Away
    and Rutavala     at last year's
    convention, I began     using it
    every night before bed.

    I use the roll-ons - Rutavala
    first, zigzagging up my spine    
    from as far down as I can reach
    to the dimple at the base of my
    skull,then behind my ears, and on my wrists. I hold my wrists together for 10-20 seconds and then inhale 4 or 5 times. I wait a couple of minutes and then repeat with the Stress Away.

Now I fall asleep easily and don't wake during the night (and if I do wake up for some reason, I have no problem getting right back to sleep).
From Uncontrollable To Calm 
       With Essential Oils

My son is my "outspoken" child. This is code for he is loud, he is strong and he will do whatever it takes to get his point across.

He is a cleft palate kid so he is not new to the surgery thing. He had two surgeries in China before we got him. Anytime we go to anywhere surgical-like, he totally FLIPS out. Screaming at the top of his lungs, fighting you, flopping around like a fish and flopping himself right off the side of the exam table. For example, last time we went to Shriners it took 3 nurses and me to hold him down for the doctor to look in his ears and listen to his heart. He has done this 6 times now.
When we walked into the clinic yesterday for a post-op appointment they said, "oh, it's him....." My son has a reputation! Even the doctor paused and said "oh..." when he walked in!

Before going to the hospital yesterday I applied Peace and Calming, Valor, Stress Away and Trauma Life. I mixed in an empty 15ml bottle 20 drops of each oil and filled it the rest of the way with carrier oil. I put a roller filament in the top and applied it to the bottoms of his feet at night.

He walked into the Shriners clinic with a smile on his face. He sat at the exam table happy and content. He waved at the doctor, sat extremely still and quiet without ANYONE holding him while the doctor looked in his ears. The doctor had to clean out one of his ears AND HE SAT THERE SMILING AND LAUGHING AND STILL AS CAN BE WHILE THE DOCTOR CLEANED OUT HIS EARS!!

When the doctor was finished Ian grabbed the doctor's hand and pointed at his ear as if to say, "keep going". My 11 year old daughter was with me and she sat there with her jaw hanging open and asked, "Mom, are you sure this is Ian?"
He normally spends 3/4 of each day sitting next to me in time out for bad behavior. His fits are random and VERY loud. After applying these oils to his feet in the morning and at night he hasn't had ANY fits or time outs in a week!!! This is HUGE!

weight loss update

  When I started the "New Plan" in early March  I weighted 235. Here it is the end of April and this morning I weighted 212. Not too bad for two months and the weather is just now good enough for me to walk every day or ride my bicycle.

Plateaus In Weight loss

         If you will notice ALL weight loss plans no matter how magically you will lose weight by taking what ever pill or drink, all of them will have a tiny disclaimer that results will vary and will improve with an exercise regime. I started out having about 45 pounds that I needed to lose. the first 15-20 lbs come off very quickly with improvements and a change in diet. I also do a few push ups and chin ups and walk at least 3 or 4 times a week. You will continue to lose weight and your health will continue to improve but it will slow down.
    I didn't, and I'm sure you didn't, get over wight over night. Things take time.  The only problem is when your weight loss slows down you will get discouraged and you will soon undermine your progress. Believe me I speak from experience.
         How to over come this;
            First, you must keep motivated. whatever motivates you to lose weight keep it in front of you. Keep it in the forefront. Look at it, go over it every morning when you get up and every night when you go to bed.
           Secondly, do something different. Do a different exercise. ride a bike instead of walking. I like to carry 10 lbs of weight when I walk and exercise. This fools your body into burning calories at a rate for someone that weighs 10 pounds extra. Your body doesn't differentiate between what is your weight and the weight your carrying. All your heart and things that control your metabolism knows is that it is having to work at that extra level of weight.
          Thirdly, I am no athlete and I am not good at sports in general. But find time and ways in your day to play. ANY activity where you move and challenge yourself is a good thing.
     If you have reached a plateau and we all do, try doing these things before you get discouraged. give yourself a week. Remember things take time, but if you do the things I talk about in this blog you will lose weight and your overall health will improve.
                   I guarantee you, these things that I talk about in this blog will help you on your way to a healthier joyful life.

Pushing Through Bad Times

            None of us are perfect. No plan is perfect. No relationship is perfect. No matter how good life gets there will be set backs. The Tao teaches us that with out the bad, the difficult, the bumpy road there could be no good. The bad makes the good that much sweeter.
          When you have a bad day, remind yourself that it wont last. Breath deeeeeeppppppp. Always have a favorite quote, antidote, song or phrase, what ever it is that inspires you, keep that close. Remember no matter how alone you are in your struggle you are not alone. We are struggling, each one of us on this earth struggle with you.
          Count your blessings. We all have them. Pray for better times and success, they will come!
 Endure and PUSH your self forward!
    In Peace and Happiness
