Chakras are a tool I have enjoy understanding to support me on my "work on myself".  They give me a step-by-step perspective, direct and profound.  Watch this video to understand more...

What is a Chakra?   Chakras are "centers of activity for the reception, assimilation, and transmission of life energies."  This information I share with you on this video is from one of my favorite text books:  The Sevenfold Journey:  Reclaiming Mind, Body, and Spirit Through the Chakras, by Anodea Judith & Selen…

We were in Ecuador in 2008 for two weeks to learn from Gary Young.  We traveled on an amazing bus ride journey from Quinto to Guayaquil that was supposed to be 6 hours and turned into 12 hours!  There was a lot of ADVENTURE going on during this journey.  We were on the Amazon Adventure trip!  LOL Back in these days, you had to be resilient to travel with Young Living.  The crazy adven…

Often we get annoyed around someone who CHOMPS.  You can hear every bite, every movement, and sometimes see the food moving around in their mouth!  Yuck!  Chomping is not necessary, but CHEWING your food is important and healthy!  In fact, it is within your mouth where digestion begins.  Chewing your food breaks down the big food particles into small, liquefied pieces as it mixes with saliva.  Chewing your food properly signals your body to release digestive enzymes in the stomach that help to b…

Do you feel dehydrated?  August is a month that I find it tough to stay hydrated.    How do you know when you are dehydrated?  For me, my eyes get dry, my mouth gets dry, and I actually have dreams about water!  It that crazy?!?  I find myself thinking about water in different ways all day long...

I have been having these dreams a lot, so through the months of August and Setpember, I practice these steps to up my hydration game.  Here are steps to stay hydrated from most intense to least.  You …

My two most favorite essential oils are Frankincense (Boswellia carteri) and Lavender (Lavendula agustafolia)!  I love them so much I have crowned them as the King and the Queen of all essential oils.  Why?  When  in doubt of what to use, Frank and Lav are generally regarded as safe in their versatility and gentleness.  Here are a few reasons in more educational terms.  Both Frankincense and Lavender are gentle yet multifunctional in uses for our whole well being.  Both are available as Vitality…

Use of aromatherapy is all about energy. Who wants more energy with essential oils?!

Essential oils have their own unique frequency ranging from 52 to 320 megahertz. This is more energy than fresh produce and fresh herbs provide. The high level of energy in essential oils helps us stay healthy. By just applying a few drops of pure, organic, therapeutic grade essential oils to our bodies, we come into harmonic resonance, renewed energy, and healthy life. To stay above the wellness line we must…

The past few weeks I have found myself drinking more and more chamomile tea.  It is one of my favorite teas for sure.  Making another cup, I started thinking about the chamomile flowers and how I love the daisies!  It took me to the beautiful farm day in Mona, Utah when we played in the fields and sunshine.  So often we do not correlate the flowers to the tea to the essential oils we love.

Chamomile supports our skin, our nervous system, our immune system, and our rest time.  It is a beautiful …

1. Smart Travel

Do you tend to pack everything AND the kitchen sink? Take the staples and be ready for anything wherever you go!  A non-water diffuser such as Therepro or Aromalux makes for a serene environment when the family is close quarters in a hotel room or challenged with environmental changes. Think Thieves products for keeping clean.  Essential oil bottles are great for planes, trains and automobiles.  Pack them in your checked bags or your carry on in our ziplock bag.  Oils earning fl…

A package arrived.  Inside the well taped, recycled box was another beautiful box.  The beautiful box delivered the Hat.  This is not just any hat.

It was in Ecuador in 2012 where the Hat and I first met.  I was on an award trip with Young Living Essential Oils for hitting Gold rank.  This was not my first trip to Ecuador but my 3rd time to travel there with Young Living.  In 2008, I took my first trip with Young Living Essential Oils to learn from Gary Young and others on a two-week incredible…
