Aromatherapy for the Chakra System

Aromatherapy for the Chakra System

The ancients created a profound system, the Chakras. While the original focus is primarily sought in transending our physical reality as the antidote for suffering, today it is common to balance and advance spiritually. The current challanges of our times can benefit greatly when we take time to quiet our bodies and minds and work to seek a deeper connection with the sacred; the self, spirit and natural world.

Integrating what we have lost and have yet to discover, within and around us, brings a wholeness and wellness that most can certainly enjoy and benefit from. About ten years ago I began exploring the Chakras but it wasn't until a few years later that I learned combining my Young Living essential oils with this practice that I found an even deeper sense of healing, wholeness, shifting, and connection. The aromatherapy benefits applied during any relaxing, focused, or meditative practice does facilitate the experience on perhaps more levels than we are aware. See Olfactory: Influence of Essential Oils on Both ind and Body

Initially, I used to diffuse my Young Living oils; which I found to enhance the overal experience. But using the oils topically I found created a much more interactive and nutruring dimension.
Chakras are spinning vortexes of energy, which both take in and emit life-force energy. There are eight main chakras down the centerline of the body, from the top of the head to the bottom of the torso. When all chakras are spinning evenly and in concert with one another, the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual systems of the body are in balance. Therapeutic-grade essential oils are excellent for balancing and blending the chakras.
The following is a basic reference for how to use essential oils for activating and balancing the energy centers—chakras—of the body.

First Earth: The Root (or Base) Chakra

Essential oils: Valor® essential oil, Abundance™ essential oil

Apply topically to the bottoms of the feet and sacrum.

The root (or base) chakra is the first and most important chakra for yoga or any kind of healing work. The key words here are courage, security, safety, grounding, and boundaries.

Second Water: The Sacral Chakra

Essential oils: Peace & Calming® essential oil, Harmony™ essential oil

Apply topically below the navel.

The sacral chakra is the center of your creativity, desire, emotion, sexuality, and intuition. This is where you learn how to give and receive pleasure.

Third Fire: The Solar Plexus Chakra

Essential oils: Harmony™ essential oil , En-R-Gee™ essential oil

Apply topically below the sternum and behind the stomach.

The solar plexus chakra is the center of personal power, ambition, intellect, astral force, desire, and emotions based on intellect and touch.

Fourth Air: The Heart Chakra

Essential oil: Joy™ essential oil

Apply topically to the center of the chest at heart level.

The heart chakra is the center of compassion, love, group consciousness, and spiritually associated with "oneness" with "all that is."

Fifth Ether: The Throat Chakra

Essential oils: Believe™ essential oil, Valor® essential oil

Apply topically to the posterior neck and the base of the occiput (the back part of the head or skull).

The throat chakra is the center of communication, sound, and expression of creativity via thought, speech, and writing.

Sixth Light: Third Eye Chakra

Essential oils: Frankincense essential oil, Peppermint essential oil

Apply topically to the middle of the forehead and above the eyebrows.

The third eye chakra is the center of physic power, higher intuition, the energies of the spirit, magnetic forces, and light. This center is about Divine Thought, balanced intuition, and intellect.

Seventh Crown: The Crown Chakra

Essential oils: Frankincense essential oil, Lavender essential oil

Apply to the crown of the head.

The crown chakra is the center of spirituality, enlightenment, dynamic thought, and energy. The keyword is inspiration. This is the connecting link to your highest and finest self.

Weaving the the knowledge of ancient and modern civilization provides us with a pathway, an evolutionary journey of consciousness. I have found using therapeutic-grade essential oils enhance my work with the Chakra vortices in the subtle body, on the physical body, the central nerve ganglia which emanates from the spinal column, and on the spiritual level. The awakening to these levels is most profound and complimentary.

Banned in 160 Nations… Yet U.S. FDA Regards it as Safe?

This article is from Dr. Mercola site on March 6, 2010

A livestock drug banned in 160 nations and responsible for hyperactivity, muscle breakdown and 10 percent mortality in pigs has been approved by the FDA.
The beta agonist ractopamine, a repartitioning agent that increases protein synthesis, was recruited for livestock use when researchers found the drug, used in asthma, made mice more muscular.
Ractopamine is started as the animal nears slaughter.
How does a drug marked, "Not for use in humans. Individuals with cardiovascular disease should exercise special caution to avoid exposure. Use protective clothing, impervious gloves, protective eye wear, and a NIOSH-approved dust mask" become "safe" in human food? With no washout period?
The drug is banned in Europe, Taiwan and China, and more than 1,700 people have been "poisoned" from eating pigs fed the drug since 1998, but ractopamine is used in 45 percent of U.S. pigs and 30 percent of ration-fed cattle.

This article is from Dr. Mercola site on March 2

Aspartame producer Ajinomoto is launching a new initiative that will rebrand the sweetener as “AminoSweet”.

Just to remind you, the side effects of aspartame can include:

• Headache
• Change in vision
• Convulsions and seizures
• Hallucination
• Nausea and vomiting
• Joint pain

It can cause many, many other problems as well.

Why Essential Oils are Essential

Many Essential Oils repel virus, bacteria, and other microbes.

What Are Essential Oils? Essential oil are the subtle, aromatic and volatile liquids extracted from the flowers, seeds, leaves, stems, bark and roots of herbs, bushes, shrubs, and trees, through distillation. According to ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and Chinese manuscripts, priests and physicians were using essential oils thousands of years before Christ to heal the sick. They are the oldest form of remedies and cosmetics known to man and were considered more valuable than gold. There are 188 references to oils in the Bible. Science is only now beginning to investigate the incredible healing properties of essential oils.

The Properties of Essential Oils
Pure Essential Oils Have Very High Frequency. The effectiveness of Essential Oils cannot be fully understood without some discussion of frequency. Frequency is the measurable rate of electrical energy flow that is constant between any two points. Everything has frequency. In his book The Body Electric, Dr. Robert O. Becker establishes that the human body has an electrical frequency and that much about a person's health can be determined by the person's frequency.

In 1992, Bruce Tainio of Tainio Technology, an independent division of Eastern State University in Cheney, Washington, built the first frequency monitor in the world. Tainio determined that the average frequency of the human body during the daytime is 62 to 68 MHz. (A healthy body frequency is (62 - 72 MHz.) When the frequency drops, the immune system is compromised.

If the frequency drops to 58 MHz, cold and flu symptoms appear. At 55 MHz, diseases like Candida take hold; at 52 MHz, Epstein-Barr and at 42 MHz, Cancer.

According to Dr. Royal R. Rife, every disease has a frequency. He found that certain frequencies can prevent the development of disease and that others would destroy disease. Substances with higher frequency will destroy diseases of lower frequency. The study of frequencies raises an important question about the frequencies of the substances we eat, breathe, and absorb. Many pollutants lower healthy frequency. Processed/canned food has a frequency of ZERO!! The frequency of fresh produce is only 15 MHz, dry herbs from 12 to 22 MHz and fresh herbs from 20 to 27 MHz. Essential Oils start at 52 MHz and go as high as 320 MHz, which is the frequency if rose oil.

Essential Oils Are Aromatic.
Essential Oils are highly aromatic and therefore, many of the benefits can be obtained by simply inhaling them. This can be done by breathing in the fragrance from the bottle, or they can be diffused into the room.

When diffused, Essential Oils can be the best air filtration system in the world. They will:

(1) Purify, by removing metallic particles and toxins from the air.
(2) Increase atmospheric oxygen.
(3) Increase ozone and negative ions in the house, which inhibits bacteria growth.
(4) Destroy odors from mold, cigarettes, and animals.
(5) Fill the air with a fresh, herbal aromatic scent.

Sandalwood: Similar in action to frankincense. It removes negative programming from cells, regenerates bone cartilage and increases oxygen around the pineal and pituitary glands, good for the nervous system and for emotional health,. The pineal gland release melatonin so more oxygen to this gland will stimulate its function and thus increase melatonin. Melatonin is an antioxidant hormones associated with deep sleep,.

Frankincense: Frankincense with its high levels of sesquiterpenes increases the amount of oxygen in the limbic system of the brain, particularly around the pineal and pituitary glands. Builds natural immunity and healing. It increases oxygenation, which increases the life force in the physical body. It also can deepen and slow the breathing to bring mind and body to a meditative state. This oil can cross the blood brain barrier. In increases the activity of leukocytes in defense of the body against infection. It helps to strengthen the immune system. It helps one balance emotionally and have a better attitude. Since it helps to oxygenate the pineal and pituitary glands it allows these glands to function better. This leads to an increase in secretions of antibodies, endorphins and neurotransmitters.

Pineal Gland: It produces melatonin, a hormone that affects the modulation of wake/sleep patterns.

Pituitary gland: The pituitary gland produces hormones which control and regulate the other glands in the body. These glands release hormones that help control and regulate growth and how the body works.
The pituitary gland is divided into two parts: the anterior (front) and posterior (back).
The anterior pituitary produces six hormones:
• growth hormone which controls growth
• prolactin which stimulates the production of breast milk after childbirth
• ACTH (adrenocorticotrophic hormone) which stimulates the production of hormones from the adrenal glands
• TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) which stimulates the production of hormones from the thyroid gland
• FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (leuteinising hormone) which stimulate the ovaries in women and the testes in men.
The posterior pituitary produces:
• ADH (anti-diuretic hormone) which reduces the amount of urine produced by the kidneys
• oxytocin which stimulates the contraction of the womb during childbirth and the production of milk for breastfeeding.

Hypothalamus: One of the most important functions of the hypothalamus is to link the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland The hypothalamus controls body temperature, hunger, thirst, fatigue, anger, and circadian cycles (a roughly-24-hour cycle in the biochemical, physiological or behavioral processes of living beings).

Drop about 4 drops of peppermint oil along dog's spine, and sit back to watch. The fleas come tumbling out of the coat, either anesthetized or dead. Just combed them off. This is for Dalmatian size dog. Use less peppermint oil for smaller dogs, and dilute for cats. Bugs despise peppermint oil!

Orange oil is also wonderful. Orange oil is sometimes called "Orangacide" by fleas. I found this quote on the Internet: "Orange oil breaks down the wax in their exoskeletons almost right away and they die FAST. I noticed that within 5 minutes of using it most of them were dead, within 45 minutes I had a one hundred percent kill rate."

If your pet is infested, grab a couple fleas and put them in a jar and then drop in one drop of orange oil and let us know how it goes!

To make a natural flea collar, saturate a short piece of cord or soft rope with Pennyroyal or Tea Tree oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia), roll up in a handkerchief and tie loosely around the animal's neck.

Four Steps to Colon Cleansing

Colon cleansing is extremely beneficial for curing a number of ailments like chronic constipation, acne, chronic fatigue, candida and almost all kinds of digestive tract problems. On top of this, a colon cleansing is carried out using natural methods, so it has no negative side effects. Here are four steps of the most basic regimen:
1. The first step is to discontinue eating anything that contains excessive chemicals or toxins and foods that slow down the digestive system. This includes all unnecessary medicines, dairy, caffeine, processed and junk food.. Start eating foods that are high in fiber content and restrict your diet to 3-4 meals a day. Do not overeat. Consume loads of water, fresh fruit and vegetable juices without sugar.
2. Start consuming bowel cleansing products.
3 Drink lots of water during your colon cleansing. It is a good idea to take probiotic since a lot of good bacteria from your body also get flushed out along with toxins and wastes.
4. You will have to keep cleansing till you feel that you are rid of all your colon related problems or when you see mucoid plaque being excreted. You can continue taking this for even a month or two since there are no long lasting negative side effects. In case you are doing a colon cleanse as a cure for acne then you might have to go in for liver flushes in order to get totally cured. Most practitioners also recommend that you go in for a colonic so as to clean your colon properly.
Once you clean your colon, you will start seeing positive changes instantly. You will get cured of constipation, bloating, candida, acne and colitis. At the same time, you will also notice an increase in your energy level and vitality. Most people also experience weight loss after a colon cleansing program.

Eliminate Mold Safely, Effectively, Permanently

Science has confirmed the powerful therapeutic secrets of essential oils. Thanks to a Breakthrough Scientific Discovery -- You Can Prevent and Eliminate Toxic Mold In as Little as 24 Hours Using Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils.

Two independent studies by Harvard and Johns Hopkins confirmed that more than 50% of the homes in North America have mold resulting from leaks and water damage, and that where mold is present there was a 50% to 100% increase in respiratory problems.

Fungi can cause health problems to both humans and animals by several different biological mechanisms: infections, allergenic or hypersensitivity reactions, irritant reactions, toxic reactions, and in certain cases they can even cause death. In fact there were 16 infants who died in

an area near Cleveland, Ohio, and the only commonality found among the cases was that all the houses where the infants had lived contained high levels of a toxic mold.

According University of Connecticut Health Center report , 2004, the following is a summary of symptoms that have been found to result from exposure to mold and toxic molds:

Allergies, asthma, lung problems, cancer, central nervous system problems, recurring colds, dandruff problems (chronic), skin problems, eye and vision problems, fatigue (chronic), flu symptoms (chronic), general malaise, sudden hair loss, headaches, hives, irritability, itching (of the nose, mouth, eyes, throat, skin or other areas), kidney failure, learning difficulties, mental dysfunction,

personality changes, peripheral nervous system effects, seizures, chronic sinus congestion, tremors, verbal dysfunction, and vomiting.
