Salutations To You!
As we move through our transition from the shop in Naples, to our
home and mail order business in Colorado, we will have some product
updates for you.
Our new size for the OLA Seven Massage Blends is a 4 oz. cobalt
blue glass bottle (with new/improved labels) and a white pump that
locks. The 1 oz. and 6 oz. sizes are replaced with this perfect size
for home and travel. I have also finally made my improvements to
Formula #1 and #5. Consider purchasing an OLA Seven Sampler
to experience them all in 4 ml bottles.

Frankincense (Boswellia carteri from Somalia) is extracted
from the resin of the tree. “Franc” is from medieval French
meaning “free, pure, abundant” and “incensum” is Latin for “to
kindle”. These are good words for transitions. It was
traditionally used to fumigate homes, in religious ceremony as
holy incense, and in perfumes and cosmetics for skin care.
Medicinally, the liquid is an antiseptic, anti- inflammatory
expectorant. It is good for any stress- related conditions.
Use it to soothe, restore, and revitalize.
Receive a 10% savings on the 10 ml and 4 ml size.
The 4 ml is perfect to keep in your pocket as an inhaler.

As you know, we will be closing the shop in Naples on April
15th. Be sure to get your oils you will need for a couple of
months while we relocate to our home in Colorado. We will
reopen the business on June 15th for mail orders by web, fax,
or phone. Our toll free number comes with us, so keep it with
you. What an adventure!
I will be teaching my last Touch With Oils™ Hand Massage
Class in the shop on Monday February 13th from 6:30 to
8:30pm. We’ll go over how to open up the energy in your hands
and work on your own hands. Then you will watch, give, and
receive my Touch With Oils™ Hand Massage. What a gift to give
to others. It reminds us how giving and receiving are truly
one. A payment of $30.00 per person reserves your spot. Class
of 12.

How to use Frankincense for transitions?
(1) Keep a little bottle with you for inhalations.
Close eyes and take 5 to 7 deep breaths. FEEL it go
through your brain, lungs, and system establishing peace and
balance in your transition. How wonderful to be protecting
your health naturally, at the same time. (2) Put some
in a diffuser for the room, or on a cotton ball for you
pocket. (3) Put a drop in the center of you palm, rub
hands together vigorously, cup you nose with close eyes and
breathe deeply. (4) Do #3 before prayer, meditation, or
exercise such as walking. (5) While doing any of the
above, connect your new thoughts and emotions with the aroma
and action you are taking. (6) Add 3-4 drops to bath
water. Rest in the warm water and quiet time you have created.
Think and FEEL a deep peace, and re-establish your
desired thoughts. (7) Mix Frankincense in Organic
golden Jojoba to apply to skin. Apply to nose, temples, back
of neck, and heart. Palms of hands and soles of feet are
powerful spots too.

Frankincense For Transitions |
|
|
|
Transitions involve going through something: a passage from
one place to another. Life is about transitions.
Physical or nonphysical, we are moving from our comfort zone
into an unknown. We don’t always like this because it’s an
adjustment of sorts. So when we’re faced with transitions we
choose to bring on ourselves (like New Year’s resolutions) or
those that life tosses us (like the loss of a loved one or a
physical challenge), we need all the help from the soulful
elements of life we can muster up. Some of these are: pure
aromas, prayer and meditation, activity and rest that we
enjoy, being with family and friends we love, music and
movement of the body, good foods, you take it from here.
One of the roles essential oils have played since the
beginning of their relationship with human beings is assisting
and comforting through transitions. The unconscious response
of the aroma’s nose-brain connection means we don’t have to
“think “ our way through it. As the whiff of comfort comes in,
the brain chemistry changes as an autonomic nervous system
response. No effort required. What a relief!
Frankincense is an ancient medicine of Egypt, India, and
China. It was used in times of plague to ward off disease. It
is also used to strengthen, protect and purify the body and
soul, clear the head, and deepen the breath. My most prized
teacher, Micheline Arcier of London, carried it with her on
travels. Me too. Transitions are travels, whether we leave
home or not, we are going somewhere new. My first bottle of
Frankincense came from her in 1992 and I still have it.
Remember, aroma is a language of thought, memory and
emotion. If Frankincense conjures up unpleasant feelings
for you, then try another precious oil like Rose, Jasmine,or
Ylang Ylang. You can always soften the Frankincense with a
touch of Lavender, Orange or Rose. Read “What’s On YOUR Mind”
for ideas on how to use your transitional oil. See our website....
