Happy 2004
To You
Welcome
to our invitation to make your home a Sanctuary of Aromas. List your New
Year's Dreams for 2004, and set them free on the wings and breath of the
aromas that speak to your heart. It all starts at home.
Choosing
high-quality essential oils can soothe mental stress and strengthen
physical health. Where there is peace, there is understanding. Make the
choice to bring it in.

What Can I Do?
|
|
|
|
 Top essential
oils to choose for relaxation are: Lavender, Orange, Geranium,
Sandalwood, Frankincense. For stimulation: Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Lemon,
Rosemary, Sage. Our OLA™ Custom Formulas are now available for you in
their pure state.
1. Put
a room diffuser in key rooms: living room, bedroom, family room/den. Use
only pure essential oils in diffusers, not essential oils blended in base
oils.
2.
Place cotton balls with 3-4 drops of pure essential oil in pillows,
drawers, closets, or bathrooms. For the kitchen: put a pan of water on
the stove on the lowest temperature and periodically add 4-6 drops of
pure e.o.
3. Keep
Lavender Mists in the bathrooms and at the front door. Using floral water
is a traditional way to greet guests as they are coming in and going out.

Q&A: We're glad you asked!

What do you
think about using the essential oil diffusers with candles, or the
aromatherapy candles?
Diffusers
with candles are good for romantic settings and moments of quiet time.
Put a little water in the dish and add several drops of pure essential oil.
The ultimate would be to find beeswax candles.
Dr.
Andrew Weil states that many aromatherapy candles actually add toxins in
the air. This is certainly counterproductive to our intent. The truly
healthy aromatherapy candles need to be 100% beeswax with pure essential
oils.

Where in the World?
|
|
|
|
Jubail is
located on the east coast of Saudi Arabia, south of Kuwait on the Arabian Gulf. The desert
meets the sea here.
Last
month I was asked to teach a Touch With Oils® Hand Massage class at the
Health Club. We had a circle of eight ladies representing Saudi Arabia, Syria, Taiwan, England, and the USA. The OLA™ #4,
Rose-Lavender Blend touched us all. Our Hand Massage video is now in Saudi Arabia. This is a
miracle. All I did was show up when called, and hold the vision.
The
room smelled lovely when we were done. Debbie, the Fitness Director
thought we should keep the aerobic room this way.
What a
blessing, especially at this time in history, to move into a space with
no boundaries or judgments. That afternoon, I reminisced about similar
times at the Oil Lady shop in Florida, Hospice, the mountain tops of
Ecuador, and now the desert of Saudi Arabia.Touch With Oils®, a language
of no words, takes us to the river that flows through all of us. Giving
and receiving become one. We all know this: it is the language of the
heart.

This Month's OLA™ Storyteller: More Good News!

Our Oil Lady
studio-shop is a Sanctuary of Aromas. It is a diffuser of its own because
over time the aromas have diffused into the walls and floor. People walk
in and tell us they feel better just being there. Before opening the
shop, my home was like this. Friends said they felt better as they were
approaching the house from anticipation, and as soon as I opened the
door, they got it.
As you
diffuse oils in your home, they gradually penetrate the physical
environment. It is subtle and lovely when done with high-quality
essential oils. I do not use potpourri or standard aromatherapy candles.
May your home be a Sanctuary.
Help
each other by sending us your stories. I had to tell my own story this
time. Forgive me, Oil Lady Candace

The Aromatic Home
|
|
|
|
There are plenty
of challenges in the complexity of the worldly ways. Creating a Sanctuary
of Aromas in our home can add balance to our lives. A sacred space that
feels peaceful the moment we walk in, is a gift to ourselves and all
those who enter. Build it and they shall come.
We all know that healthy pleasant smells
soothe our tensions. Did you know that they change the brain's
biochemistry in less than a second? These biochemical messengers go out
to receptor sites on cells throughout the body. Cells make up tissue, and
this is why we "feel good" as the tension in our neck and
shoulder muscles relax.
Choosing the correct aroma is paramount.
Using top-grade oils, like a fine wine, gives us the added benefit of
their antiseptic qualities to fortify our good health. They do not
contribute to the allergic reactions that drive a lot of us crazy. We
were not made to smell synthetic products full of chemicals and food
dyes.
Spend a few moments selecting the right
pure essential oils and aromas for your home. Then read "What Can I
Do". Lavender and Orange are great oils
for relaxation. Peppermint and Eucalyptus are good choices for
stimulation. Suit the oil to the room. Create a place that gives you
peace. Your home is an extension of our heart.
