Transform Old Behaviors

March 8, 2010 in Alternative Therapies, Anxiety, Aromatherapy, Blends, Diffusing, Emotional Release, Foot, How do I use, Mind / Body / Soul by Jonell Elder | No comments

Behavioral patterns can be hard to change. When we get in the habit of doing something it can take a lot of hard work to break those bad habits.  We have all heard from many people and sources how to battle and overcome bad habits. The key is in understanding our bad habits, wanting to change them, believing it is possible and to start somewhere, sometime.

Young Living essential oils has over 150 different  single oils and blends.  Their are approximately 70 blends that have been specifically formulated to help with different issues, whether it be physical, emotional or spiritual.

There are many Young Living essential oils that could aide in changing behavioral patterns, or otherwise known as bad habits. The one I will concentrate on now is Transformation.

Transformation™ empowers and upholds changes you want to make in your belief system. By replacing negative beliefs with revitalizing new thought patterns, a transformation in behaviors, emotions, and attitudes is possible.*

Repressed trauma and tragedy from the past may be out of sight, but they are definitely not out of mind.  Memories are imprinted in our cells for better or worse.  Stored negative emotions need to be replace with joy, hope and courage.

Reaching into the deepest recesses of memory, Transformation empowers and upholds the changes you want to make in your belief system.  Positive, uplifting beliefs are foundational for the transformation of behavior.*

Transformation contains: Lemon, peppermint, sandalwood, clary sage, frankincense, balsam fir (Idaho), rosemary, and cardamom.

How to Use

Foot application:

The first place I would suggest applying the essential oil is to the bottoms of your feet. Before you put your shoes on for the day, take a moment to first drop 1-2 drops of the essential oil and about 1/8 teaspoon of V6 carrier oil onto the palm of your hand, stir three times in a clock like motion, and then apply to the bottoms of your feet. With the remainder of the scent that is on your hands, cup your hands over your nose and take several nice long deep inhalations. (Be mindful to not touch your face with your hands, just cup your hands about an inch away from you nose and face.

When essential oils are applied to the bottoms of the feet the essential oil passes easily through our skin and cell membranes within 20 minutes.

According to researcher Jean Valnet, M.D., an essential oil that is directly applied to the skin can pass into the bloodstream and diffuse throughout the tissues in 20 minutes or less [all the more reason why you want to know your essential oil is the purest, as are Young Living Essential oils.

Diffusing

You can also put 5-10 drops of Transformation oil in a diffuser to diffuse in your environment. The bonus by doing this is not only may it help you to feel beter, but anyone else that is around may feel better too.

When diffusing essential oils the essential oil is in the air, and you are breathing in the tiny molecules of essential oil and this effect may help to balance your moods.

In a cold air nebulizer diffuser start by diffusing your Young Living essential oils for 15-30 minutes, one to four times a day for normal situations. Place the nebulizer diffuser higher in the room (a shelf, bar, or fireplace mantle are good choices) so that the essential oil mist has a longer distance to fall through the air.

The natural properties found in Young Living essential oils produce a soothing, uplifting effect on the mind and emotions. When an essential oil containing the optimum level of therapeutic constituents is diffused, the result fosters a sense of emotional balance and well-being.

When the aroma of essential oils are inhaled, the scent travels to the reticular system of the brain stem where emotions and memories are connected. This enables essential oils to improve emotional wellness in many ways.

Aromatherapy, or essential oils, are helpful in elevating and balancing moods. Nature has many answers for problems and balancing out emotions is one of them. Therapeutic grade essential oils carry the “life force” of the plant and they offer the plant’s vibrancy and normalizing effects.

The fragrance of an essential oil can directly affect everything from your emotional state to your lifespan. Essential oils work differently than any other natural substance.

Full Body Massage: Mix 4 drops with 1 teaspoon V-6 Massage Oil.

In the Bath: Mix 4 drops with 1/4 cup Epsom Salts or Sea Salt, add to running bath water.

Take one day at a time. Work on today to begin to put your past behavioral problems where they belong, in the past. Do not fret about them, or the past and do not worry about the future. We can not control our past or our future but we can work on today and make our daily goals a focus of change.  Here’s to kicking those bad habits right out the door.

Students, Do You Need Help For Studying?

February 16, 2010 in Anxiety, Application, Aromatherapy, Blends, Carrier Oils, Foot, How do I use, Mental Clarity / Studying, Smell / Olfactory, Therapeutic-grade Essential Oil, Young Living Essential Oils by Jonell Elder | No comments

We are all students all our lives. We are always learning. When we are a student, from kindergarten on through graduate school, or continued education for whatever your passion may be,  (like Young Living Essential Oils).  No matter the age, focus, clarity and belief are often hard commodities to come by.  Many students tend to procrastinate and then have to work even harder to get tasks done on time.  No matter the age, lifestyle, race, religious beliefs or financial status, it is the same, anyone could use help at some point in their life to kick start themselves to study and complete assignments and tasks.

What can we do?

  1. Get enough rest.
  2. Eat good food and drink pure WATER!!
  3. Exercise
  4. Apply and inhale essential oils.

I have been a Young Living Distributor since 1996 and I understand the amazing therapeutic qualities of Young Living essential oils and the remarkable therapeutic power of plants and nature’s healing powers through therapeutic grade essential oils.   This is why number 3 says “Apply and inhale essential oils.” (Read more on quality of essential oils.)

There are over 150 different Young Living essential oils and I am going to talk about three essential oils that may help for:

  • Alertness
  • Clarity
  • Concentration
  • Retention

These oils are:

  1. Peppermint has a strong, clean, fresh, minty aroma. Dr. William N. Dember of the University of Cincinnati studied peppermint’s ability to improve concentration and mental sharpness and found that inhaling peppermint oil increased the mental accuracy of students by 28 percent. This powerful essential oil is often diluted before topical application. Peppermint may also be used to enhance the flavor of food and water.*
  2. Clarity oil blend promotes a clear mind and alertness. It contains stimulating oils including peppermint and rosemary, which have been used for many years to promote mental sharpness. Clarity can also be used to help restore mental alertness or wakefulness when you are experiencing fatigue or drowsiness.*
  3. Brain Power oil blend gives your brain a boost with essential oils that are high in sesquiterpenes. Use it to clarify thought and develop greater focus.*

You can see why I have suggested these essential oils, just by reading how they may help for studying and for learning in general.  They may be used for all ages, from young to elderly. The proper proportion of how much essential oil to use is determined by age and size.

Follow these steps with any of the above mentioned essential oils for adults (not youngsters or elderly).

Foot application:

The first place I would suggest applying the essential oil is to the bottoms of your feet. Before you put your shoes on for the day, take a moment to first drop 1-2 drops of the essential oil and about 1/8 teaspoon of V6 carrier oil onto the palm of your hand, stir three times in a clock like motion, and then apply to the bottoms of your feet.

When essential oils are applied to the bottoms of the feet the essential oil passes easily through the skin and cell membranes within 20 minutes.

According to researcher Jean Valnet, M.D., an essential oil that is directly applied to the skin can pass into the bloodstream and diffuse throughout the tissues in 20 minutes or less [all the more reason why you want to know your essential oil is the purest, as are Young Living Essential oils.]

Inhalation

With the remainder of the scent that is on your hands, cup your hands over your nose and take several nice long deep inhalations. (Be mindful not to touch your face with your hands, just cup your hands about an inch away from your nose and face.)

Inhaler

Another great tool and easy to carry with you anywhere, is to put essential oils into inhalers.  These inhalers are great for carrying around the aroma of your favorite essential oils without having to take the whole bottle! The inhalers are small enough to easily fit in a purse, pocket, or bag so they are perfect for traveling.

You can see the inhalers and purchase them at www.abundanthealth4u.com

(Do foot application, inhalation and inhalers with all three oils, waiting a few moments between each application.)

When the aroma of essential oils are inhaled, the scent travels to the reticular system of the brain stem where emotions and memories are connected. This enables essential oils to improve emotional wellness in many ways.

Aromatherapy, or essential oils, are helpful in elevating and balancing moods. Nature has many answers for problems, and balancing out emotions is one of them. Therapeutic grade essential oils carry the “life force” of the plant and they offer the plant’s vibrancy and normalizing effects.

The fragrance of an essential oil can directly affect everything from your emotional state to your lifespan. Essential oils work differently than any other natural substance.

The natural properties found in Young Living essential oils produce a soothing, uplifting effect on the mind and emotions. When an essential oil containing the optimum level of therapeutic constituents is inhaled, the result fosters a sense of emotional balance and well-being and the emotional balance is very effective and stimulating to the mind which of course helps with clarity, concentration and retention.

Doesn’t the thought of using a natural substance from the earth, seem like the perfect additive to stimulate your organic brain? For me that takes little thought process. Are you students ready to get started with this natural help, to see you through crunch study times? If you are,

5 Tips To Get Motivated

February 15, 2010 in Application, Aromatherapy, Blends, Foot, Lemon, Orange Oil, Young Living Essential Oils by Jonell Elder | No comments

Motivation does not always come easily and there are some days when it’s hard to stay on track or even get started.  Even when we are feeling motivated there are obstacles that we will likely encounter along the way.  Something comes up in the day and the distractions may pull us away from what we want and need to get motivated about.

Sometimes thoughts of how to get motivated come while we are falling asleep.  When we wake up, having the gumption to carry through with those night time thoughts may not be so easy. Staying motivated is not easy. If it were, everybody would do it. But, it can be done.

5 Tips to Get Motivated:

1.  Start your day in a good mood

  • In a seated position, with feet flat on the floor, take a few deep breaths. Deep breathing is such a powerful technique for centering and focusing energy. Inhale through the nose, hold for 2 or 3 seconds, exhale slowly through the mouth. Repeat several times.
  • Another variation is to take a whiff of a refreshing, uplifting essential oil, such as Young Living essential oils of Lemon, Orange or Joy oil blend.
  • Follow up with applying Motivation oil blend to the bottoms of your feet.

2.  What is it you want to get motivated about? What is your goal? Be specific and be positive and right it down.

  • Apply Envision oil blend to the bottoms of your feet and breath in the left over scent from your hands.

3.  Plan for success.  The plan should include all the things that you will do to achieve your goal. It should also indicate the deadline for each task.

  • Write on your calender the day that you are setting your goal for.  This is a “follow up” to yourself to see the progress you are making.

4.  Mark your calender daily when you have achieved something towards your goal.

  • Put a happy face or a gold star.  Something that stands out and reminds you of your accomplishment.

5.  Each day start with step number one.  Once you become more familiar with essential oils you can choose different oils to start your day.

  • Young Living has over 150 different essential oils.  I can help you to choose what essential oil may fit what you are looking to help, be it physical or mental.

These are some easy steps to follow. They do not take a lot of your time, but they could very well be what will help you to get motivated for what ever it is you need motivation for.  Some days are easier then others, but just work on today.  And while you’re at it, remember to count your blessings and I’m sure that some of those blessings are instances that took motivation to make happen.

Essential Oils Promote Greater Happiness

February 13, 2010 in Application, Aromatherapy, Blends, Calming, Depression, Diffusing, Emotional Release, Foot, Young Living Essential Oils by Jonell Elder | No comments

Happiness can be a feeling that is in the shadows of many peoples emotions.  At times when we feel depressed, angry or uncertain about life, sadness takes over. When this feeling has overtaken us it is hard to even want to think about changing our feeling, as we are so consumed with our negative thoughts, and that is all we think about.  This can be very hard to turn around and when these feelings are upon us, we don’t even care much about making them go away.

What’s important for anyone who may be feeling this way is to realize that it is possible to feel better and what it takes is change of thought and also the remarkable therapeutic power of plants and nature’s healing powers through therapeutic grade essential oils.

Here are steps toward feeling happy:

  1. Take a moment to recognize your feelings.
  2. Believe you can change your feelings to happiness and positive energy.
  3. Choose a Young Living Essential oil for what ever emotion you are feeling at the moment.

What do I mean by “Choose a Young Living Essential oil for what ever emotion you are feeling at the moment.”?

  1. If you are feeling sad, you may want to choose Joy oil blend.
  2. If you are feeling anger, you may want to choose Forgiveness or Release oil blend.
  3. If you are feeling stress, you may want to choose Peace & Calming blend.
  4. If you are feeling lousy but can’t seem to pin point your emotion, you may want to choose Lavender or Harmony oil blend.
  5. If you are feeling unmotivated, you may want to choose Motivation oil blend.

These are some choices of oils that may help in times when you are feeling despair for whatever reason. They could be enhanced with topping off with the essential oil blend of Believe.

The next step after determining your choice of essential oil is what to do with it, how to use it so that you are able to begin to feel better.

All of the Young Living essential oils I have mentioned above, may be applied topically, by inhalation or by diffusing them.

Foot application:

The first place I would suggest applying the essential oil is to the bottoms of your feet. For instance, if you wake up in the morning feeling sad or not in a very good mood, before you put your shoes on for the day, take a moment to apply 1-2 drops of Joy oil to the bottoms of your feet.  With the remainder of the scent that is on your hands, cup your hands over your nose and take several nice long deep inhalations. (Keep hands away from touching the skin on your face.)

When essential oils are applied to the bottoms of the feet the essential oil passes easily through our skin and cell membranes within 20 minutes.

According to researcher Jean Valnet, M.D., an essential oil that is directly applied to the skin can pass into the bloodstream and diffuse throughout the tissues in 20 minutes or less [all the more reason why you want to know your essential oil is the purest, as are Young Living essential oils.  Read more on quality]

Diffusing

You can also put 10-15 drops of Joy oil in a diffuser to diffuse in your environment.  The bonus by doing this is not only may it help you to feel more joyful, but anyone else that is around may feel better too.

When diffusing essential oils the essential oil is in the air, and you are breathing in the tiny molecules of essential oil.  This effect may help to balance your moods.

Emotional “Home” Improvement

February 7, 2010 in Air Freshener, Alternative Therapies, Aromatherapy, Blends, Depression, Diffusing, Emotional Release, Foot, Lemon, Smell / Olfactory, Young Living Essential Oils by Jonell Elder | No comments

Our emotions need improvements, and often times it may be difficult understanding how  to go about changing how negative emotions are effecting our overall mood. We are all familiar with making home improvements when they are needed.  What about emotional improvements? Emotional home improvement, this is another way of looking at, and understanding our emotions.

Emotions are triggered by many situations, from someones actions towards us, the media, loss, stress, the weather, disappointment, trauma and the list goes on. We can feel hurt, sad, angry, lonely, fearful, ungrateful, worried, confused, or unloved. So what are some easy ways to turn our emotions around?

Here are a few steps that may help in getting started recognizing a negative, unhealthy emotion. Once we begin to recognize them, the next step is understanding the type of emotion, so that we can determine how to help begin to feel better and more positive.

  1. Recognizing a negative emotion.
  2. Realizing our emotions are indeed in need of improvement.
  3. Taking time to turn negative emotions into positive emotions.
  4. Understanding that each emotion may need a different approach in correcting it.

The next step towards this new positive change, is with Young Living therapeutic grade essential oils. Young Living essential oils give you the results and true therapy your body needs. Essential oils are the only substance on earth to support the entire body, and once a therapeutic-grade essential oil is applied to the body, whether by inhalation, ingestion, or topical application to the skin, the essential oil enters the bloodstream. The essential oil is then metabolized and chemically changed quite rapidly, but during this period a multitude of therapeutic effects are possible. The effect we are looking for here is to correct our emotions.

There are many emotions to deal with, but I am going to write about what to do for sadness.  Young Living has several different essential oils that may help to alleviate the feeling of sadness and the one that I most often use and find lifts my spirits is Joy.

This is what I do with Joy:

  • Apply 2-3 drops to the bottoms of each of my feet.
  • Inhale the scent from my hands, by cupping my hands over my nose. Taking several long inhalations.
  • Diffuse Joy essential oil blend in my diffuser throughout the day for 15 minuets at a time. Not only are my spirits lifted, but the aroma in the room is a beautiful floral scent.

I find that the effects of Joy oil lifting my spirits is within seconds and I am always thankful that I am feeling better and thrilled with the amazing quickness that essential oils help.

Diffusing or directly inhaling essential oils can have an immediate positive impact on mood.  Olfaction is the only sense that can have direct effects on the limbic region of the brain.

Essential oils operate by interacting with the cells of the ‘olfactory‘ system, where upon reaching a membrane inside and at the very top of the nose after inhalation. The interaction of natural fragrant molecules on the olfactory membrane initiates a nerve signal that can quickly trigger various parts of the brain to respond – invoking a memory, a feeling, calming, alertness, reduced anxiety, or simply the perception of a scent.

Here are other essential oils which may be beneficial in help alleviating sadness:

  1. Cedarwood
  2. Lemon
  3. Jasmine
  4. Frankincense
  5. Peppermint
  6. Valor blend
  7. Hope blend

Clinical studies at the Department of Psychiatry at the Mie University of Medicine showed that lemon not only reduced depression but reduced stress when inhales.(1)

Young Living essential oils are a much better alternative therapy for many situations. Isn’t it better knowing that you are being helped with a natural substance, a quality essential oil from Young Living, rather then taking medications that can also cause adverse effects and more problems.

Are you ready to now make your emotional “home” improvements? This is the right place for you to accomplish a healthier, happier feeling from the inside out.  I look forward to hearing from you, please do not hesitate to contact me, so that I can help you to choose the essential oil that may help you to feel better emotionally.

Self-Confidence and Essential Oils

February 3, 2010 in Application, Aromatherapy, Blends, Diffusing, Foot, How do I use, Relaxation, Wholesale / Member, Young Living Essential Oils by Jonell Elder | No comments

Throughout history and into the future someone will be lacking in self-confidence. Some are blessed with confidence and others are not. We may grow and mature and become more confidence, but for others it may not come so easily and it could be debilitating and hard at times for some to cope with this low esteem.

In my previous article “5 Ways to Build Self-Confidence” I made suggestions of different essential oil blends to include in the 5 Ways to Build Self-Confidence process.  Following is the list of each essential oil, how they may help, and how to use them.

1.  Valor Roll On works with both the physical and spiritual aspects of the body to increase feelings of strength, courage, and self-esteem in the face of adversity. Renowned for its strengthening qualities, Valor enhances an individuals internal resources.*

  • Apply Valor Roll On generously to feet, wrists, or back of the neck. Also apply in the palm of your hand and then cup your hands over your nose and take three long inhalations of the scent.  (Keep your hands from touching your skin)

2.  Joy oil is a luxuriously exotic blend with uplifting overtones that creates magnetic energy and brings joy to the heart, which may exude from you to others.*

  • Diffuse and/or apply one to two drops of Joy oil behind your ears, on your temples, wrists, over your heart, and onto the bottoms of your feet. Also apply a drop onto the palm of your hand and then cup your hands over your nose and take three long inhalations of the scent. (Keep your hands from touching your skin)

3.  Gratitude is a soothing blend of therapeutic-grade essential oils designed to elevate the spirit, calm emotions, and bring relief to the body while helping to foster a grateful attitude.

  • Diffuse and/or apply one to two drops of Gratitude oil behind your ears, on your temples, wrists, over your heart, and onto the bottoms of your feet.  Also apply a drop onto the palm of your hand and then cup your hands over your nose and take three long inhalations of the scent. (Keep your hands from touching your skin)

4.  Acceptance stimulates the mind with oils specially blended to promote feelings of accepting ourselves and others, regardless of perceived barriers. This blend also helps overcome procrastination and denial.

  • Diffuse and/or apply one to two drops of Acceptance over the heart, on the wrists, behind the ears, on the neck and on the face.  Also apply a drop onto the palm of your hand and then cup your hands over your nose and take three long inhalations of the scent. (Keep your hands from touching your skin)

5.  Stress Away Roll On is a unique blend of vanilla, lime, copaiba, and other pure essential oils relieves daily stress, encourages relaxation, and reduces nervous tension.

  • Apply Stress Away Roll On generously to feet, wrists, or back of the neck. Also apply in the palm of your hand and then cup your hands over your nose and take three long inhalations of the scent.  (Keep your hands from touching your skin)

On any given day you could use any of these oils, or any of our other 150 essential oils for physical, mental or spiritual natural healing.

Essential oils are the natural, aromatic volatile liquids found in shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, and seeds.  Only certain plants contain essential oils, they are known as the aromatic plants. The essential oil is formed in very small structures in the leaves, flowers, or other parts of the plant. (Read more on “What is an essential oil”)

Historically, essential oils have played a prominent role in everyday life. With more than 200 references to aromatics, incense, and ointments throughout the Bible, essential oils are said to be used for anointing and healing the sick.  Essential oils are the only substance to support our entire body, physically, emotionally, spiritually, or for our social health and our mental health.

Young Living essential oils are very concentrated and a small portion of essential oil is all that is needed at the time of each use.  Once a therapeutic-grade essential oil is applied to the body, whether by inhalation, ingestion, or topical application to the skin, the essential oil enters the bloodstream. The essential oil is then metabolized and chemically changed quite rapidly, and during this period a multitude of therapeutic effects are possible.

Hence the way and essential oil works depends on the constituents that are in each oil and on the individual the essential oil is being applied to.  Each Young Living essential oil blend has been formulated to work towards helping for specific concerns. This is why I am suggesting the above oils. When applied topically, diffused or inhaled the benefits are truly remarkable to experience.

The quality is another very important factor and very important for you to understand that I am only talking about and suggesting the use of Young Living therapeutic essential oil.  Young Livings goal is to have only the purest oils available on the market and the quality is never a question.

When diffusing these Young Living essential oil blends you may experience relaxation, stress reduction, clarity of mind, uplifting, feelings of acceptance, joy, courage, self esteem and much more.

The Nebulizer diffuser is, sometimes also called a ‘Cold-Air Nebulizer Diffuser’. It is perhaps the best type as it is the most versatile for all purposes. The benefits of this type of diffuser are that it literally puts the essential oil into the air in micro-fine particles that stay suspended in the air for several hours. Diffusing 5 to 15 minutes several times a day is a good practice to follow.  Read more on diffusing.

Young Living has over 150 different oils and over 400 products in total.  We are able to offer a wide variety of natural ways to help anyone who is seeking better health and well being.

The best way to get started using Young Living essential oils is by becoming a wholesale customer and starting off with one of our getting started kits.  Perhaps starting with the Start Living Everyday Oils kit would be the way you would want to begin your journey of healing with pure and natural Young Living products.

I look forward to hearing from you so that I can better help you to determine what would be the best way for you to get started and becoming a part of our Young Living family.  Please contact me and click on this link Wholesale Customer to learn more on how you can save on your products.

Orange essential oil is uplifting and helps to reduce anxiety and stress. A 1995 Mie University study found citrus fragrances boosted immunity, induced relaxation and reduced depression. This is particularly good for those in geographical locations that lack sunshine and don’t get adequate sunlight on a regular basis or rooms without much light, diffusing orange essential oil is great for helping with depression and seasonal affective disorder. Orange essential oil is very warming oil both physically and emotionally.

Orange helps to stimulate joy, optimism and playfulness, harmonizing feelings and awakening to creativity. It’s wonderful to diffuse and use for household cleaning for both children and for adults particularly during times when you may feel tense, nervous and withdrawn and need help to relax and open up.

The fruit of Citrus sinensis is called sweet orange to distinguish it from Citrus aurantium, the bitter orange. Sweet Orange essential oil is produced by glands inside the rind of an orange fruit. This can be seen when an orange is peeled, the fine mist that sprays into the air emitting that delicious orange scent is the essential oil. The orange peels are cold-pressed to extract the essential oil. Young Living’s orange essential oil is food grade and can be used as a flavoring of food and drinks, as seen below. While orange essential oils fragrance in perfumes and aromatherapy by massage therapists and other health professionals provides emotional and physical benefit.

Diffusing Orange Essential Oil

The easiest and simplest way of putting essential oils into the air for inhalation is to use an aromatic diffuser. A cold air diffuser uses room-temperature air to blow the oil up against some kind of nebulizer. This breaks the oils up into a micro-fine mist that is then dispersed into the air. The oils, with their oxygenating molecules, will then remain suspended for several hours to freshen and improve the quality of the air. The anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and antiseptic properties of the oils kill bacteria and help reduce fungus and mold. Essential oils, when diffused, have been found to reduce the amount of airborne chemicals and metallic’s as well as help to create greater spiritual, physical, and emotional harmony.

Diffuse for 10 minutes every 1-3 hours. This will help you to conserve your therapeutic-grade essential oils and provide the best olfactory benefits.
