Salutations To You!

This issue is about the relationships we have with ourselves, each other, and the planet. The challenges of life go on, and as long as we are alive they'll be mountains to climb and rivers to ford. Let's get some help from Nature with the power of aroma.

My enewsletter will not come to you every other month. Please see the home page of our web site for the 4 classes I'll be teaching the last 2 weekends of February in Naples, Florida. See "Candace's Corner" for other things I'm offering in February.

Our Aromatic Best to you,

    Candace's Corner of The World

    John and I with our pup, Muga, are traveling in our RV named "Tango", and our "winter walk-about" now sees us in Naples, Florida. It's been 4 years since we moved from Naples to Colorado. Time seems to fly by, and life is about change ... so go for the gold whenever you can.

    The month of February, my birthday month, brings many opportunities for you if you would like to learn and experience more with me in the Good Works of essential oils. In addition to the 4 classes listed in the next paragraph, I will also do private classes of 6 or more in your home if you are in Naples. The fee is $55.00 per person for a three hour class. I will also be offering private consults and the true English Aromatherapy Massage treatments. I'm not sure of the location yet. Please call or email if you are interested.

    I will be teaching 4 classes the last 2 weekends of February: (1) Integrate Aromatherapy into Your Life, (2) Touch With Oils® Hand Massage, (3) Integrate Aromatherapy into Your Practice, and (4) Touch With Oils® Face & Body Treatment. These will be at the Florida Health Academy of Naples, 261 9th St. So. Register at: 239.263.9391. CE hrs for NCBTMB (Approved Provider #451025-09) are available for massage therapists.

    Find a moment to enjoy Nature. God's grandest cathedral is Nature ... in all her majestic garb.


    What's On YOUR Mind?

    Entrainment of thought & feeling with smell. The power of visualization and aroma. We all know this power when we smell something, and a strong memory and emotion pop up. So let's use aroma to empower a goal/dream for 2010.

    While thinking and feeling about one of your goals for 2010, smell your favorite essential oil. Connect the thought to the smell. Put some real feeling into it. Choose an aroma that does not already have an emotional connection for you. Perhaps it's time to find a new one that you love. Spend a few quiet moments each day (optimally twice a day, morning and night), connecting this thought with this exciting aroma. Then when you smell this aroma your thoughts go to that goal/dream. Notice how the aroma makes you feel after this entrainment process. Keep the essential oil with you all day if you like.

    Smell is the only sense that is completely developed at birth. It is crucial to our survival. Let the pure essential oil aroma bring in your goal/dream with the power of the mind. The better you visualize your dream while breathing in the aroma ... the stronger it is.


    Essential Oils & Relationships

    As we move into 2010, we acknowledge relationships of all kinds that we are "intending" to improve. One of the true values of Aromatherapy is its ability to enhance relationships. It all starts with the relationship we have with ourselves. Then this is what we give out to others.

    First let's review that TRUE Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of therapeutic-grade essential oils; and PURE Essential Oils are highly concentrated volatile liquids extracted from some part of a plant or tree. One of the reasons essential oils enhance relationships is because they are a microcosm of holistic medicine. The liquid has a natural chemistry that supports the physical body. The pure powerful aroma affects our nonphysical parts.

    The first time essential oils stepped into my life in about 1989, I could see how thye served us in many ways: (1) to bring our scattered parts back together. They don't let us separate our emotions & thoughts from our bodies, (2) to bring us back in touch with compassion and understanding for all creatures great and small, and (3) to bring us back in touch with Nature.

    Three other types of relationships essential oils provide are: (1) to PROTECT our physical and non- physical health with the medicine and message in their liquid and aroma, (2) to CELEBRATE the events and joys of life with us, from awakening in the morning to sweet sleep, and (3) to ASSIST us through transitions. We are always in one of some kind. If we are alive, we are transitioning

    Whether you use essential oils for inhalation or with touch, you receive their "medicine and message" because they effect the body and mind through both methods. They are an ultimate expression of unity.

    When you bring essential oils into your life, they can change your life and those around you just by being in the air ... like osmosis. I used to tell the girls that worked in my Oil Lady shop in Naples, that if someone walked in the door and they were breathing ... they got it.

    See "Candace's Corner of the World" to see about joining me for classes or sessions, and experiencing essential oils and relationships.

    Be gentle with yourself ... Life is Precious. Let essential oils help enhance your relationships through 2010. The side effects are improved health, emotional balance, and getting in touch with your heart. We're all climbing our mountains ... one by one. I sure like doing it with Lavender and Rose oil. Find yours.
