Salutations To You!
March ushers in Spring and as we see peeks of it coming through
here in Colorado, Winter is still holding on as best it can. The
grace of the seasons.
Spring is about rejuvenation and renewal. So this month our Oils
for Spring are on special, and we explore the spirit of youth and
joy... that is DEEP in the HEART of all of us.
Our Aromatic Best to you
for Happy Thoughts and Healthy
Breathing,
| This Month's Spotlight Is On... |
 |
|
Our Rejuvenation Face Gel is our most popular formula for
women and men (made just for me in about 1995) and its ancient
aromas have become our signature scent. So now it is available
in a mist.
For this month the NEW Rejuvenation Pak, which is smaller
and in a new carrying case, and our NEW Rejuvenation Mists (3
sizes) are on special for you....treat your face for YOUR
Spring!

The first time essential oils touched my skin and my nose
in 1989, I knew there was much more here than what meets the
skin and nose. They seemed to touch the heart and soul, with
messages about the spirit of life....all the while they were
making me FEEL better, physically and mentally.
In 1993, by the grace of God, I flew to London to study
with leading Aromatherapist Micheline Arcier. At the time she
was not teaching any more, but due to a letter I sent her, she
told me I was to come over to London because she was to teach
me. It was her connection with the essence of essential oils
and her luminous gentle yet strong spirit, that made me feel
like "home". She learned her craft from Marguerite Maury and
Dr. Jean Valnet, pioneers of modern aromatherapy. With the
passing of these three individuals, came a great loss to the
world of compassionate human beings with tremendous passion
for their "works", and a vast perspective on the profound
powers of aromatherapy on the body and mind.
April will be the one year anniversary of Micheline
Arcier's passing. In her book, Aromatherapy, she
explains how the "odour" acts on the emotions and thoughts to
create an atmosphere of well being, and through right skin
application the oils themselves aid the "tonicity and
elasticity" of our skin.
In Marguerite Maury's book, The Secret of Life and
Youth, she states, " We are not trying to add years to
life, but to add life to the years!" These two ladies had a
rich and fulfilling life together and individually. Their
connection with the essence of life, is what kept them young
and passionate. Essential oils were the medium. I salute them
both. This is barely a drop from their ocean of knowledge and
wisdom.
"Pleasant smells can be attributed to the well being of
humans." Aristotle

Here are some wonderful things to do for yourself...and
loved ones:
1. Use straight pure essential oils for inhalation to
change your mind and create Happy Thoughts and Feel Good
Emotions. Carry a little bottle as an inhaler, or use cotton
balls and diffusers.
2. Use blends of appropriate essential oils in base oil for
the following: (A) Pour in palm, apply to nose, temples, back
of neck. Rub palms and cup nose, close eyes and inhale deeply.
Massage face and body daily. (B) Make up a warm bath and do
(A) while sitting in the tub. (C) After a shower while still
wet, do (A). Then towel off. Who's on first...and What's on
third? Laughing keeps us young at heart.
Some of our best blends for renewing the skin and the mind
are: OLA Blends #1,#2,#4,#7 and Scar & Bruise Oil. One of
my regulars is to put some Rejuvenation Gel in my palm, add a
little puddle of Organic Golden Jojoba and use it as my
massage oil for face, neck and body.

Secrets of Staying Young |
|
|
|
Wouldn't it be great to have the "secret," the magic
bullet? Well, we do...it's right inside of us: Divine Love
starts in the heart...the place where it's always
been...patiently waiting for us...to quietly come home.
I've often thought that as a society, it's time for us to
THINK with the heart and FEEL with the mind. The Egyptians
believed the center of intelligence was the heart. We all know
our thoughts, beliefs, and feelings are reflected in our
physical tissue and the happenings of our daily lives. I once
heard Dr.Chopra put it so succinctly: Happy Thoughts create
Happy Cells.
Our thoughts can be "happy" if we are focused on connecting
to"right" activities/work, right people and right places. Then
there is right food, right exercise, sleep, prayer,
meditation, silence and love of nature. And oh yes...the mind.
Each, a book in its own right. Aromas are one of the most
instantaneous ways to change our mind due to the olfactory
system's relationship with the brain. Essential oils are part
of the package of good medicines to stay young in body and
spirit.
Aromas are a language of thought, memory and emotion.
Essential oils were among the origins of medicine as liquid
elixirs for the skin, and of perfume due to pure concentrated
aromas. Their rejuvenating properties for tissue repair and
renewal , as well as for the mental-emotional state, has been
known from Cleopatra to holistic medical doctors. They knew
their secrets of life and rejuvenation.
One must use pure high-grade essential oils to benefit from
their cell-regenerative properties. Before rubbing them on the
skin, be sure they are blended in high-grade base ingredients,
like Organic Golden Jojoba (which by itself is radiant for the
skin).
Frankincense, Sandalwood, Geranium, and Rose are some of
the ancient and best known essential oils for restoring
vitality to the skin. They also create a greater sense of well
being for the spirit. Hippocrates's prescription for good
health was a scented bath and aromatic massage every day.
Imagine the change in stress levels if we did this! It would
wipe the slate clean everyday. This is a Happy Thought!
