Essentials for July 2021

The July Essentials are Here!
What should I order?


For the month of July, we are focusing on all things personal care to show ourselves some love and help us move towards our health goals. Here are a few items we are using this month and beyond to support our physical, mental and emotional health everyday.


Lavender Mint Clarifying Shampoo - for beautiful, healthy hair
Frankincense essential oil - for glowing, healthy skin
Valor Bar Soap - to add some zen to your daily routine
C-B-D Beauty Boost - the ultimate in skin
Sulfurzyme Capsules (or Powder) - for happy hair, skin, and nails
Lavender Lip Balm - the best lip balm around


Lavender Mint Clarifying Shampoo


Healthy hair depends a lot on what and how we cleanse it. The Lavender Mint Clarifying Shampoo is minty and invigorating and perfect for all hair types. The scent promotes feelings of calm and clarity, and nourishing ingredients promote beautiful, healthy hair.



Frankincense Essential Oil

Frankincense essential oil has long been known for its incredible grounding and healing properties and carries huge historical and spiritual significance. Frankincense has been used in religious rituals for over 3,000 years. It has been know to enhance immunological function, beautify skin, and increase spiritual awareness. This oil is a must-have for every home because of its versatility. 

Lean more about Frankincense essential oil in my Oil Spotlight of the Month post.


Valor Bar Soap

Love your skin and elevate the everyday with Valor Bar Soap. Ground yourself with nature and the woodsy smell of Valor while you get ready for the day ahead or wind down at the end of the day. The nourishing formula cleanses without drying out the skin and the scent is incredible.

CBD Beauty Boost

Your skin is your largest organ, and the state of your skin can tell you a lot about your body's needs. Your skin is exposed to everything the day brings - heat, cold, sun, wind, environmental toxins, household toxins, and more. So we need to do everything we can to show our skin (and our bodies) some TLC.

CBD Beauty Boost contains a combination of pure, potent CBD, tamanu oil, grapeseed oil, and rose essential oil for a truly luxurious experience.

For more, including a great DIY Beauty Serum, check out the July's Ditch & Switch blog.

SulfurZyme

If you have skin, hair, nails, or joints (and we hope you do), you are likely not getting enough of this compound. Weak and brittle nails, hair that doesn't grow or isn't healthy, joints that are painful and skin issues can all be giant billboard signs telling you that you need more nutrition in this area. Skin that is ultra sensitive to the topical use of oils can be another telltale sign. This one supplement (capsules or powder) can do so much to help you benefit from everything else you are doing with your oils to increase your health.


To learn more, check out the July Supplement Spotlight post.

Lavender Lip Balm

A daily must have! This is our favorite lip balm, and it doubles as a carrier stick when in a pinch! Apply to lips, cheeks, noses, any part of the skin that needs a little TLC. We like to keep one in our bag, one by the bed and one in the bathroom.

In fact, its so luxurious that each dropper contains the essential oils from on e full Damask rose.

This blend of CBD, rose essential oil, tamanu oil, and grapeseed oil works to maintain an even tone and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Just one daily dropper of this Smart Spectrum blend will moisturize your skin and promote a youthful glow. Nature's Ultra CBD Beauty Boost is ideal for all skin types, so no matter what your needs are, CBD Beauty Boost can help!

Key Ingredients

How to use your
Gifts with Purchase

Do you ever see the monthly freebies Young Living so generously offers us, and wonder, "But what would I do with that?" Well, we've got you covered with these simple tips and DIYs for how to use the freebies.

And remember - you can always pop the oils into your diffuser for added benefits!

Citronella essential oil

Make a DIY Outdoor Pest Spray
  • 30 drops Citronella
  • 20 drops each Rosemary, Tea Tree, Myrtle, Geranium, Lemongrass
  • Splash of alcohol-free witch hazel
  • Fill with filtered water or fractionated coconut oil (per your preference)
  • Spritz it at sporting events, while camping or anytime you want to enjoy the outdoors annoyance free.
Make Citronella Beeswax Candles

  • hemp wicks, wick sticks & a wick centering device
  • glass jars
  • 75 drops Citronella essential oil
Set a wide, shallow dish on the stove with water and heat to medium-low, very gently boiling. While the water heats, prepare your jars by adding a stick to the metal ring of the wick and press firmly into the middle of the bottom of your glass jar. Align the wick holder on the top of the jar to keep the wick from moving to one side.

Pour about 1/3 of the jar full of beeswax pellets, then add 1/2 tsp coconut oil. Repeat the layers, finishing with the beeswax to near the op of the jar. As you fill the jars, make sure that the wick remains in the center. The coconut oil is optional but helps to slow the burning of the beeswax so your candles will last longer.

Once the water is boiling gently, place your jars in and allow the wax and coconut oil to melt. Add more beeswax pellets as needed as the wax melts and naturally lowers.

Once the wax is melted, remove from the water bath and place on a baking rack to cool. Add essential oils, dropping them all around the wax. Allow the wax to cool and harden, then enjoy!

Mineral Sunscreen Ditch and Switch - June 2021

Mineral Sunscreen

June Ditch & Switch


As the gatekeepers of our home we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products for ourselves and families! 

Join us as we detox our beach bags this month and switch out convention chemical sunscreens for Young Living's Mineral Sunscreen. This switch is a simple one that can have a huge impact on your health and the health of your family.

Chemical Sunscreen
Chemical sunscreens are designed to be absorbed by the op layers of skin as they work in two different ways to help neutralize harmful UV radiation. On one level, it deflects and scatters the sun's harmful rays before they damage skin, while on the other level, they filter the UVA/UVB and convert them into heat, neutralizing them.

Unfortunately, chemical sunscreen may cause skin reactions certain people and can worsen melanoma and rosacea. They also contain one or more of the following active ingredients: oxybenzone, avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene, homosalate, or octinoxate, each of which carries its own potential for harm. 

Ingredients of Concern
  • Oxybenzone - (sometimes called benzophenone-3) is one of the most commonly-used sunscreen chemicals, it is linked to endocrine disruption, organ system toxicity, contact allergies, and photoallergies, meaning exposure to light is required to generate an allergic response. In fact, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) recommends avoiding oxybenzone because of concerns that this ingredient may disrupt hormones and cause allergic skin reactions. Oxybenzone is also harmful to aquatic life, in 2018 Hawaii banned it to protect coral reefs.
  • Octinoxate - commonly used UV filter that protects from UVB rays, but not UVA rays. It may be listed as OMC, methoxy-cinnamate or ethylhexyl methoxy-cinnamate and is lined to endocrine disruption as well as reproductive toxicity. Researchers have detected octinoxate in breast milk, urine, and blood. Like oxybenzone, this ingredient was targeted in Hawaii's ban, as it harms coral reefs.
  • Homosalate - a common ingredient that absorbs only UVB rays to prevent direct skin exposure. Homosalate is linked to hormone disruption and may also enhance the absorption and penetration of pesticides, including bug sprays, as well as other harmful ingredients found within sunscreen.
Further, a small randomized clinical trial published in May 2019 in the Journal of the American Medical Association reveals that four of these sunscreen chemicals (avobenzone, oxybenzone, otocrylene, and ecamsule) are absorbed into the bloodstream at significantly higher levels than 0.5 nanogram per millimeter (ng/ml). That's far above the amount at which the FDA requires topical medications to undergo safety studies to determine the possible toxic effects.

Mineral Sunscreen
This type of protection relies on two different types of minerals - zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. They work by physically deflecting UVA and UVB rays from getting to the surface of the skin. Because of this, their formulas are naturally a little thicker than chemical versions as they are meant to sit on the skin's surface, rather than absorbing beneath it. Unlike chemical sunscreens, which typically take 20 to 30 minutes to absorb into the skin, mineral sunscreens offer immediate protection - no waiting needed. Mineral sunscreens can also be applied on top of makeup and other skin care products.

Why we love YL's Mineral Sunscreen
  • Contains naturally derived plant and mineral based ingredients, including non-nano zinc oxide, so it's not absorbed into the bloodstream.
  • Available in broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection.
  • Filled with skin-loving essential oils like Helichrysum, Carrot Seed, and Frankincense that put a protective barrier on your skin and help retain the skin's natural moisture while out in the sun.
  • Has a non-greasy, lightweight formula that goes on smoothly (aka no white residue).
  • Stays water and sweat resistant for 80 minutes
  • Carries an official global certification from the National Skin Cancer Foundation and is recommended for daily use to help prevent skin cancer.
  • It is safe for ALL skin types and won't clog pores.
  • It is reef safe! An estimated 14,000 tons of sunscreen go into the ocean each year and most (all chemical based ones) kill coral reefs. It is such a problem that Hawaii passed a bill banning ingredients that harm coral reefs.
What about SPF?
SPF (sun protection factor) is a measurement of sunburn protection. So if your skin would normally burn after 10 minutes in the sun, wearing an SPF 10 sunscreen would theoretically allow you to stay in the sun for 100 minutes (10 x 10) without burning. A higher SPF doesn't always equate to that much more protection. Also, note that SPF is a measure of protection against UVB rays only, and we need protection against UVA rays which is why we want "broad spectrum" sunscreen.
  • SPF 15 blocks 93% of UVB rays
  • SPF 30 blocks 97% of UVB rays
  • SPF 50 blocks 98% of UVB rays
  • SPF 100 blocks 99% of UVB rays
Daily Sunscreen Use & Savvy Minerals
When it comes to the delicate skin on our face, we want to be sure we're protected, especially in the summer sun. Young Living's sunscreen works great as a base underneath your Savvy Minerals by Young Living makeup to offer the SPF boost you want.
  • Wash and prime your face, then apply the SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen all over your face and rub it gently but completely. You may find it helpful to lightly set the sunscreen with a dusting of Diamond Dust before applying the rest of your makeup.
  • Apply the rest of your Savvy Minerals as usual. Or, skip the full face look and tint your sunscreen with your Savvy Foundation. Quick and easy for summer days!
Join us this month as we overhaul our beach bags and choose a healthier sunscreen for ourselves and our families.

Mineral Essence Supplement Spotlight - June 2021


Mineral Essence

Supplement Spotlight


According to the two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling: "You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency".

Trace minerals are incredibly important for our overall health. The body requires nearly two thirds of all the elements currently know to man in order to support optimal health, cognitive function and overall performance. Keeping these minerals in balance is a complex, yet incredibly vital task. The events of everyday living demand a continual ingestion of minerals, ideally from the diet, but given current farming practices, it just isn't enough.

Traditionally eating fresh, sprouted grains, fruits and vegetables grown in nutrient-rich soil has been the primary supply for a full spectrum of ionic minerals. Unfortunately in today's world, naturally occurring, nutrient rich soil is becoming increasingly rare. Decades and decades of vegetation growth and aggressive modern farming techniques have brought many of the earth's minerals to the surface where they have been washed away. Synthesized fertilizers are routinely applied to farms and fields where minerals have been depleted, but man-made fertilizers provide only enough mineral substance to support basic plant life.

And just like so many other areas of our health, we can achieve our goals with supplementation. Mineral Essence is a balanced, full-spectrum ionic mineral complex enhanced with essential oils. It contains sixty ionic minerals including iron, zinc, silicon, fluoride, boron, lithium, sodium, sulfur, magnesium, chloride, selenium, Thallium, calcium, and potassium. Added in is Peppermint, Cinnamon bark, and Lemon essential oils. The addition of essential oils helps the body absorb all these ionic minerals, making them more bioavailable (and useful) to our bodies instead of just passing through.

The following deficiencies have been linked to many health issues - including those that affect our emotional health - and all of these deficiencies can be improved with Mineral Essence.
  • IRON - affects around 20% of women and 50% of pregnant women. Pair with Master Formula Master Formula for ideal results.
  • SELENIUM - a key component of thyroid health. Pair with Master Formula for ideal results.
  • MAGNESIUM - some sources say up to half the population is deficient in magnesium. One serving of Mineral Essence provides 80% of our daily requirements.
  • ZINC - this mineral is used by more enzymes than any other mineral our bodies need and is used for everything from gut health to DNA repair.

Mineral Essence makes you feel amazing and gives our bodies needed minerals. Minerals are critical to enzyme function, hormone production, bone building and breakdown  creating long luxurious hair and nails, and transmission of nerve signals." Dr. Lindsey Elmore

Here is a closer look at each ingredient in Mineral Essence and how it supports our system:
  • Calcium - essential for healthy bones and teeth, assist in blood clotting, muscle contraction, and nerve transmission.
  • Chromium - assists in the metabolism of glucose and regulates blood sugar.
  • Cobalt - promotes the formation of red blood cells.
  • Copper - promotes normal red-blood cell formation, connective tissue formation and central nervous system function. By storing and releasing iron, copper contributes to hemoglobin formation.
  • Iodine - required by the thyroid hormone to support metabolism.
  • Iron - important in red blood cell formation, energy and cognitive function.
  • Magnesium - supports nerves and muscles and activates over 100 enzymes.
  • Molybdenum - contributes to grown and development.
  • Phosphorous - works with calcium and contributes to healthy bones and teeth.
  • Potassium - regulates heartbeat, fluid balance, and helps muscles contract.
  • Selenium - an essential component of a key antioxidant enzyme, also necessary for normal growth and development.
  • Sulfur - required for muscle protein and helps with soft, healthy hair.
  • Zinc - found in every fluid, tissue, cell and organ throughout the human body with high concentrations in the brain. Inadequate intake can affect over 200 enzymes involved in digestion, metabolism, reproduction and wound healing.
  • Cinnamon essential oil - antiviral, antibacterial and a strong antioxidant. It also contains high levels of phenols - oxygenating compounds which function as catalysts.
  • Lemon essential oil - promotes leukocyte production, which is an important factor in the immune system.
  • Peppermint essential oil - antibacterial and a first-rate support for the immune system, also supports digestion.

HOW TO USE

Take 5 half-droppers (1 mL each) morning and evening or as needed as a mineral supplement. May be added to 4-8 oz of distilled/purified water or juice before drinking. We recommend adding to cranberry juice if needed as the supplement has a spicy, mineral flavor. Shake well before using and refrigerate after opening.

You can also apply this to skin or use in an epsom salt bath to allow for absorption through the skin. Note, however, that this route of administration will provide less absorption than ingestion.

Note: This product contains royal jelly, which may cause allergic reactions, especially in those with bee or honey allergies.

Join us this month as we use Mineral Essence this month and beyond to support overall health and wellness and feed our bodies with the good things it needs!

DIY - Relaxing Lavender Eye Pillow

Make this today!
DIY Relaxing Lavender Eye Pillows

These eye pillows are a fun DIY and are wonderful to have around the home! You can choose different fabrics or even change the essential oil, but we are partial to Lavender. They are also wonderful when you are experiencing head and neck tension or are needing a little extra TLC!

These eye pillows can be enjoyable just as they are, without warming or cooling. Place them over your eyes and breathe in to relax, relieve stress and help encourage restful sleep. Or you can use the hot or cold. To use cold, place in the freezer for about 20 minutes before use, or keep in the freezer between each use.

To use warm, carefully heat in the microwave for 10 second intervals. Be careful to not let it get too hot. Start with 10 seconds on one side and then flip and do 10 seconds on the other side. the flax seeds inside are great for holding onto heat for an extended period, and healthy will also release more scent oils from the lavender buds.

You will need the following for pillow:
  • 1/4 yard of fabric (you will have extra) Note - make sure the fabric is washed and dried before you begin
  • 1 1/4 cup flax seed
  • 3/4 cup dried Lavender buds
  • 20 or so drops Lavender essential oil
For each pillow, cut 2 layers of fabric measuring 4.5 inches by 10.5 inches. You'll want right sides facing out for frayed edges or right sides in for no frays. Begin by sewing alongside a long edge, making your way all mourned, with a 1/4 inch seam allowance. Be sure you leave one short edge open to fill the pillow.

Mix the Lavender buds, flax seed and a few drops of Lavender essential oil in a bowl, then fill the pillow bag until its mostly full. The measurements above should give you the perfect amount. Finally, sew the open edge closed containing the insides.

A few tips..
  • a lightweight fabric will help the smell diffuse better, think a medium weight linen or light cotton.
  • The amount of Lavender and flax seed can be played with. If you desire more buds, go ahead and increase that amount. If you want more flax, have at it.
  • Losing smell? Try cursing the bag in your hands to help more scent release.
  • Other essential oil options:

CortiStop

When cortisol is produced too frequently, it can have negative health consequences such a feelings of fatigue, difficulty maintaining optimal health of the cardiovascular system. This is the root cause of adrenal fatigue. Adrenal fatigue can bring with it negative health consequences such as fatigue, weight gain, and cardiovascular disorders. 

Enter CortiStop.

Stress Away Bath Bombs

No matter how you do it, take a moment for yourself is always a good idea, and one of my favorite way to do that is with a long soak in the bathtub. So, lets ditch the Bath & Body Works or the brightly colored displays at the stores and grab the Stress Away Relaxing Bath Bombs instead. 

Stress Away is one of Young Living's most popular blends and for good reason. This oil is wonderful for creating a calm, relaxing environment. PLUS these natural bath bombs are made without colorants, synethetic preservatives, parabens, or animal-derived ingredients - making them some of the best bath bombs you can get your hands on!

Adding White Angelica or the oils in the Feelings Kit can improve your emotional outcome. Citrus oils in general help to promote feelings of creativity, confidence and contentment.

The Feelings Kit Ditch and Switch - May 2021


The Feelings Kit

May Ditch & Switch


As the gatekeepers of our home we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products for ourselves and families! 

Join us as we detox our emotions this month and switch out conventional coping mechanisms for healthier, healing options. 

For May, we are focusing on digging deep to release all our comfort vices, sit with and honor our experiences and trauma, and to the emotional work needed to move forward in healing and self love. Instead of turning to things like detachment, Netflix binges, alcohol, food, sugar, shopping, work, projects or any other comfort measures that keep us from truly processing the emotions beneath, we are going to pull out the Feelings Kit and use these oil blends with intention and consistency.

WHY WE USE IT

Why use these essential oils (or any Young Living oils at all) for this process? Because of the power of aromatherapy and the limbic system. Our sense of smell is directly related to our emotions and mood. The cranial nerve associated with smell sits next to the hypothalamus - the area of the brain responsible for mood, feelings, and emotional processing.

Further, the Feelings Kit blends contain a combination of essential oils high in compounds that can cross the blood brain barrier to reprogram bad coding from the cells. The other compounds rewrite that code to restore the original perfect copy, one that will not keep us pulled into the physical and emotional effects of stress.

This is a process, but the great thing about essential is that we have CHOICE to embrace that process instead of loading our bodies up with lots of toxins and other things that create more confusion in the cells.

The feelings collection includes six essential oil blends, each of which is a powerful tool for supporting and releasing emotional patterns. Use in the morning and evening to promote peaceful thought and spiritual harmony.

Harmony essential oil blend
(info via Carissa Sherman)

Harmony essential oil blend helps to release toxic benefits and though patterns related to feeling ignored, crushed, hostile, afraid of punishment, beating ourselves up, sarcasm, and stubbornness.

  • When we feel ignored, our perception is that we are not a part of the big picture. We aren't good enough, worthy enough, or able to play our part.
  • When we are crushed, we are collapsing inwardly. Who we are has been forced down and suppressed. We stop seeing our part.
  • When we are hostile, we are quick to see others as the enemy, and everything in life as an opposition to our part. We are trying to play alone, because we can't trust the other parts.
  • Fear of punishment is the opposite of love. When we are beating ourselves up, we actually turn from love into fear. These are opposites.
  • Sarcasm is an emotion that develops from long-term exposure to incongruent words and actions. Example: witnessing hypocrisy, or long periods of time living with someone who brings drama or trouble on themselves, remaining clueless to the cause. This emotion produces "mocking." Instead of harmony, it creates a repetitive and offensive sound that interrupts the notes of others.
To Use:
  • When there are situations where you are experiencing some of the emotions listed above, sit or stand still until you feel where that emotion is causing a sensation in your body. It might feel like pain, twitching, tingling, aching, nausea, heat, cold, or a general tension.
  • Rub harmony over the area (or just nearby if its sensitive), and hold your hand over the spot.
  • Take several deep breaths. This is a simple step to become aware of the mind-body connections. 
Its okay if you don't know how to fix all of these issues right this minute. Begin embracing the idea that you have a part to play, a harmony that only you can add to the relationships and opportunities in your life.

Forgiveness oil blend
(info adapted from Carissa Sherman and Eryn Jones)

The oils in the Forgiveness blend are high frequency oils, Melissa, Geranium, Frankincense, Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, Coriander, Angelica, Bergamot, Lemon, Ylang ylang, Jasmine, Helichrysum, Roman Chamomile, Palmarosa and ROSE! These oils work synergistically together to create a calm, uplifting environment when forgiving yourself and others.

This blend can help us release the stagnant, toxic thoughts stuck in our body's memory that act as a safety mechanism. They were encoded in our past when we felt unsafe, and from that point on, all of our senses have been given a warning note that says something like "people will hurt me when they get too close," or "men/women can't be trusted," or "I am not lovable," among other signals. These memories can be triggered by sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell, and they show up in our current experiences and pull us down. The most common emotional patterns created are Self-Denial, Revenge, and Distrust.

The problem is that our bodies can't tell the difference in an emotional threat and a physical threat. When we start feeling emotionally vulnerable after these messages have been encoded, the body will send warnings, sometimes thousands of times per day, to keep us alive. We want to reverse these patterns, to restore the blubbering of our original ability to be at PEACE.

Emotions associated with Forgiveness:

Distrust (felt in the gut)
  • Distrust results from being stressed, and stress is caused by many subconscious messages pulling us in different directions. To establish a healthier pattern of trust, we need "integrity," which is where our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions can become consistent. No more secret messages internally scattering our thoughts.
  • Old pattern: Distrust.  New pattern: Integrity
  • Affirmation: "I honor truth."
  • We can release old trauma and untruth that is stuck in the body, and we move forward with integrity.
Wanting Revenge (Felt in the head, back of neck)
  • There is no such thing as turning your feelings off or magically being detached, so what we are doing here is to move in a different direction with a new and greater purpose - to detach or remove ourselves from the mission of revenge.
  • When you diffuse Forgiveness, if relationships where you have wanted someone to get paid back resurface in your memory, you can take a moment to establish a thought pattern.
  • Old pattern: Revenge.  New pattern: Detachment (move in a new direction.
  • Affirmation: "I have a new mission. I am letting go of the old."
Self-Denial (felt in back of neck, base of skull)
  • The most common root of denying our own needs is expecting other to know what we need before we have asked. This leads to living with a spirit of neglect, blaming others, and unforgiveness. In fact, it often looks like taking care of everything under the sun EXCEPT for ourselves, and an underlying thought cycle that we are "the only one who does anything around here."
  • Old pattern: Self-denial.  New pattern: Wisdom.
  • Affirmation: "I support myself."
When using Forgiveness blend, meditate on the opposite of the above emotions - supporting yourself, finding awareness to honor your own truth, detaching from allowing someone else to have a say over your worth and value.

Use the mantras below as you apply the oil, sit with the feelings until you feel a shift. Oils are very powerful in helping to create new pathways in the brain.

Mantras to pair with Forgiveness blend:
  • I have courage to honor my truth.
  • I learn from all experiences.
  • I forgive (others or myself).
  • I support myself.
  • I am worthy.

Inner Child oil blend
(info via Carissa Sherman)

Inner Child essential oil blend releases emotions that distort memories in our cells. Think of this like a picture or video of past events where little edits were made to present something threatening, even if that was not the case. The symptoms of this vary widely, but we might notice some patterns:

  • When someone tries to be honest, especially friends/family, we continually hear their voice criticizing us for months afterward.
  • We find ourselves revisiting the same short list of past hurts on a regular basis, telling stories about what someone did or said to us, thinking each time that if we just vent... the pressure of that pain or offense will let up.
  • We create an image of ourselves (typically a bad one) and no matter what we do to take care of ourselves, that recording makes sure we stay ashamed, disappointed, and hopeless, or...
  • We finally start feeling better about ourselves because we have fulfilled an imaginary list of "things that will make us feel accomplished" - only to find that the stress of keeping up with that list starts to slowly steal from our relationships or our sanity.
Inner Child blend is sometimes referred to as "The Therapist." When you visit a therapist, they do their work, not by talking, but through listening. They encourage you to share the feelings, past, and thoughts that make up you inner workings. To process through how you came to your patterns, actions, and current beliefs.

Many times there were situations where someone as a child felt unseen, unheard, or unvalued. In order to move forward, it is important to look back and allow that inner child to speak. When we consider what a child will need, we begin to see our own needs more clearly. It's obvious to us that a child who has experienced something new or difficult would require additionally help and attention to deal with that event.

Some practicalness for this blend are:
  • Overcoming the trauma of abuse
  • Promoting acceptance
  • Accepting our own needs
  • Stimulating an emotional healing process
  • Releasing obsessive habits and patterns
  • Supporting the mind, body, and emotions during periods of transition.
  • For children who struggle with intense fear, trouble letting go and moving on, or who have been uprooted or experienced a traumatic change - this oil will be a huge support.
To Use:
  • Place several drops of Inner Child in your diffuser. you can also apply some around the navel and rub a drop into your palms to inhale directly.
  • Use this blend on and around you consistently. Our emotion patterns that took a lifetime to form aren't going to get unraveled completely in one day.

Present Time oil blend

Present Time is an oil blend of Neroli, Spruce and Ylang Ylang in a base of almond oil, making it wonderful for direct application or diffusing. Present Time helps you focus on the here and now, so you can get beyond the past and move forward. When paired with the other oils from the Feelings Kit, this is a powerful tool for truly bing present with your current experiences and releasing the pain of the past.

Neroli: used by the ancient Egyptians fo rite healing of mind, body and spirit. Neroli is stabilizing and strengthening to the emotions, promotes peace, confidence and awareness, brings mental awareness to alleviate anxiety, depression and insomnia.

Spruce: opens and releases emotional blocks, fosters a sense of balance and founding.

Ylang Ylang: promotes relaxation balances male and female energies, restores confidence and equilibrium, alleviates insomnia.

This blend of oils creates a strong, encouraging scent to increase the ability to focus on the present moment. As busy people, parents, care givers, employees, etc. we can become so focused on the next deadline, task or responsibility, and it becomes very easy to lose sight of what is directly in front of us. The stack of papers or dishes or laundry seems so time sensitive that we rush through the people in front of us - children, spouses, partners, friends, even ourselves. Present Time helps us to allow ourselves to give and receive in the present even when we have been hurt in the past.

Release oil blend

Release is a blend of Ylang Ylang, Olive oil, Lavandin, Geranium, Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, Grapefruit, Tangerine, Spearmint, Lemon, Blue Cypress, Davana (a POWERFUL emotional oil), Kaffir Lime, Ocotea, Jasmine, Chamomile, Blue Tansy (highly supportive and calming to the Central Nervous System), and ROSE. These oils are high frequency and powerful for allowing us to tap into the root of our emotional distress, honor the past experiences and release the pain to move forward in our full potential.

Release is a helpful blend to aid in releasing anger and memory trauma from the liver in order to create emotional wellbeing. It helps open the subconscious mind through pineal stimulation (sandalwood and tansy stimulate the pineal gland) to release deep-seated trauma.

For our purposes, trauma can be defined as "any situation where you got less than you needed and were not equipped to process it." These traumas actually get stored deep within our cellular memory, and we can use the limbic system of the brain to help shift our thoughts and emotions around these traumas and patterns.

Helps Release feelings of:
  • Anger
  • Frustration
  • Being held back
  • Rebellion
  • Feeling wronged
  • Fear of success
  • Loss of identity
Helps promote feelings of:
  • Cleansing
  • Freedom
  • Harmony
  • Unconditional love
To Use:
  • Diffuse throughout the day.
  • Diffuse with lavender at bedtime.
  • Apply topically to wrists, over the heart, to the edge of ears and feet.
  • Remember to use it EVERY DAY! Repeat a positive affirmation that rings true to your situation.
  • Affirmations: "I am safe. I am loved. I am valued. I am enough just as I am right now."

Valor oil blend

Valor's woodsy, positive scent comes from a blend of Black Spruce, Blue Tansy, and Frankincense. Valor is helpful for many emotions around our fight or flight response, thus it's battle-worthy name. In fact, this oil is inspired by oils that Roman soldiers would bathe in before battle. The oils would sit atop the water in their bath houses and this special blend was added before a big battle. When they rose from the water, the oils would soak and stay on their skin to help prepare them for something big and scary ahead.

This blend can also be a key oil in overcoming emotional abuse and recovering from trauma. It's a powerhouse when facing a trial or season of adversity because its natural properties help align the body both emotionally and physically. Remember emotions and trauma are often stored in the physical tissues and fascia of our bodies and oils help release stuck emotions and tension at a physical level from specific parts of the body:

  • Feeling resigned (like you can't fight it) - diaphragm
  • Feeling like you are losing a battle - just below lower lip
  • Fear of conflict - abdomen, just above right and left hips
  • Feeling aggressive - abdomen, just above right and left hips
  • Feeling defensive - stomach
Valor has properties that get to the core control centers of the negative emotional programs. When we're ready to make a change, to start challenging that 'fight or flight' survival mode with a better way of thinking and living, this is the perfect oil.

Using Valor for emotional support can be as simple as applying some to your shoulders, the bottoms of your feet, the back of your neck, or anywhere that you're experiencing tension or a stressful tightness in your body. One great technique is to place a drop or two of Valor between your wrists (palm-up side) and then hold them together for a few minutes.

It's ultimate diffuser oil with it's deep, grounding scent. If you're taking time to relax, meditate, or work on your spiritual and emotional health, you can just hold your wrists together while you're sitting quietly.

The Feelings Protocol

It has been said that when there's a conflict between reason and feeling, we humans always tend to side with feeling. As Dr Gary Young has said, "99% of life’s decisions are made from feelings."

That’s why if we want our lives to be guided by good decisions that lead to health, happiness, and contentment, we need to be aware of and in control of our present feelings. By focusing on fixing our feelings, we can fix most aspects of our lives - physical, mental, and spiritual.

And the perfect way to do this? Young Living’s Feelings Kit! Yup! 

The primary protocol is to apply these feelings oils before work and every night before bed. Try this for 30 days and notice all the delightful changes the Feelings Kit Protocol will bring into your life.

If you are wrestling with big emotions or trying to process hard situations, here is a great protocol developed by Gary Young that you can follow using the Feelings Kit:

Step 1Apply Valor to the bottoms of your feet to balance your feelings.
Valor's inspiring and calming aroma will help you greet each morning with a positive attitude or refocus at the end of a challenging day.

Step 2 - Apply Harmony on the chakra points to allow negative energy to escape. Harmony's uplifting to the mind, helps you become more creative and confident.
There are seven points along the spine:
  1. Coccyx
  2. Sacrum
  3. Lumbar
  4. Dorsal (heart)
  5. Cervical (where the neck meets your shoulders)
  6. Medulla (hollow place at the center base of the skull)
  7. Pineal (center of forehead)
Step 3 - Apply Forgiveness clockwise on the navel and let go of negative emotions.
Sometimes when others do us harm (or when we do harm on others), we struggle to forgive (them or even our own mistakes). But we owe ourselves forgiveness. To forgive means to free ourselves from negative emotions. To forgive is an act of self-love. Here are 5 steps to forgiveness:
  1. Forgive yourself for allowing the person to affect your health and happiness.
  2. Forgive the other person for any harm he/she may have caused you (this doesn't need to be done in person, as this is just an inner-adjustment on your part).
  3. Give the other person permission to forgive you.
  4. See the good in the situation.
  5. Be thankful for the experience and the lessons you gained from it.
Step 4 - Apply Present Time to the wrists and behind the ears to lift the burdens of the world.
Nothing good can be obtained by living in the past. "Today" is where we need to live to achieve true happiness and fulfillment. And Present Time helps with that - it is so empowering - it creates a feeling of being in the moment.

Step 5 - Apply Release over the front and back liver in a circular motion and wait as feelings of frustration are lifted.
Peace is achieved when we release ourselves from the negative emotions. Release blend facilitates the ability to let go of such emotions, promoting harmony and balance.

Step 6 - Apply 1-2 drops of Inner Child just under your nose to open the pathway to connecting with your inner self.
"When you are a child, all things are possible. There are no limitations," says Dr. Gary Young. Stimulate your memory and reconnect with your authentic self through the sweet fragrance of Inner Child. This is an essential step to achieve emotional balance.

Step 7 - Reapply Valor essential oil to complete the cleansing of feelings and provide completeness and balance.
Relax and unwind for a few minutes more and let yourself shift into a new state. Through time, you will be amazed at how big changes can come in a gentle way.

Join us this month as we dig deep to release our vices, sit with and honor our past experiences, and do the emotional work needed to move forward in healing and self love.

Cortistop Supplement Spotlight - May 2021


Supplement Spotlight

CortiStop


Stress stored and fought by the body is possibly the number one health danger. It is truly a killer. Making sure we have our tools to help our bodies physically and emotionally deal with stress is one of the biggest changes we can make in our health!


What happens when you're stressed? Your adrenal glads go into overdrive and your cortisol levels go up. High levels of cortisol cause the body to scavenge for protein to convert into glucose to provide energy for the brain to deal with the perceived stress (also severely depresses the immune system). 

So adrenaline kicks in.

Adrenaline is your fight or flight hormone (also helps to control blood pressure, sweating, etc). Your adrenals can spike creating a feeling of energy then crash with extreme fatigue when they run out of materials to work with. You feel fine in the morning, but when contemplating work will get extremely tired. The thought of work can wear them out; any type of stress will cause the adrenal glads to over react (extremely tense nervous) or fail to respond (suddenly/extremely tired).

When cortisol is produced too frequently, it can have negative health consequences such as feelings of fatigue, difficulty maintaining healthy weight, and difficulty maintaining optimal health of the cardiovascular system. When cortisol levels are chronically high, it affects the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, basically affecting all your hormones and disrupting the natural feedback loop. This causes the body to be less sensitive to the 'stop signal', and creates a viscous cycle of elevated stress signals. This is the root cause of adrenal fatigue. Adrenal fatigue can bring with it negative health consequences such as fatigue, weight gain, and cardiovascular disorders.

Enter Cortistop

CortiStop is an herb and essential oil supplement that helps to naturally balance the stress response by calming the body and lowering cortisol levels. As cortisol declines, strength and energy return, and the body moves back to a state of equilibrium.

Triggers for elevated cortisol levels:

  • Excess heat/cold
  • alcohol abuse
  • coffee drinking
  • depression
  • anxiety
  • malnutrition
  • personal reltionships
  • surgery
  • physical/emotional trauma
  • diseases
  • big life events (job changes/problems, moving, etc.)

Learn More

Here is a closer look at each ingredient in CortiStop and how it supports our system:
  • Pregnenolone: shown to reduce corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) in experimental models. CRH is the first step in the production of stress hormone cortisol. Pregnenolone is also a precursor hormone from which all other hormones are created It is important for the body's production of progesterone, which blocks cortisol receptors.
  • DHEA: another precursor for progesterone, DHEA is often reduced as a consequence of stress.
  • Phosphatidylcholine: may protect the brain, liver and stomach during times of stress; also a key component for every cell in the body.
  • Phosphatidylserine: helps to balance the Hypothalamus-Pituitary Axis, benefits cognitive function, and may blunt cortisol production. The effects may be more pronounced in people under chronic stress.
  • Black cohosh: a phytoestrogen that helps counteract the effects of cortisol, helps stop stress responses, and may elevate mood.
  • Clary sage: another phytoestrogen that supports hormone balance and helps uplift the mood.
  • Frankincense: a grounding and uplifting oil that also works as an antioxidant within the body.
  • Fennel and peppermint: help soothe the stomach and aid in digestion.
Who Should Use CortiStop?
  • Women who need support or feel the effects of adrenal fatigue.
  • Men can take this supplement when needed! Dr. Purser, the doctor who formulated Progessence Plus, taught in a session on men's health that there is a place for men to be on this supplement in times of high stress and anxiety.
  • NOT recommended during pregnancy. Use while breastfeeding at your discretion and need.

HOW TO USE

  • Take 2 tablets in the morning before breakfast. 
  • If desired, for extra benefits, take another 2 capsules before bed. 
  • Use daily for 8 weeks. Discontinue use for 2-4 weeks before resuming.

Join us this month as we use CortiStop this month and beyond to support healthy cortisol levels and release the stress weighing us down!

This combination is perfect for times when you want to be focused and inspired! Valor, Lime and Envision are three powerhouse oils for creating an uplifting, inspiring environment and cultivating confidence Add all three to the diffuser for an incredible blend!



Start your morning off right with this bright, crisp blend of Starter Bundle oils! PanAway is one of our favorite oils to diffuse, especially for the emotion of exhaustion. The blend of mint oils is incredibly alerting and uplifting, and pairs well with bright, happy Lemon! This blend isn't just for mornings though. Add it to your diffuser whenever you need a fresh start!



Imagine lying in a hammock, late summer sun on your skin, a warm breeze blowing... the perfect scenario for an afternoon nap. This blend of Starter Bundle oils are reminiscent of just that! Bright Lemon, calming Lavender and beauty Stress Away combine for a blend that is wonderful for creating restful vibes.




Summer sunshine, citrusy treats, the scent of flowers on a warm breeze - the essentials of summer - and this blend has all of the above. This combination is perfect for any time of day, but we especially love it in the mornings for helping everyone start off on the right foot.


Nothing says rest and relaxation more than a spa-like environment. Bring the spa to your home with these two Starter Bundle oils. Citrus, eucalyptus and a little mint are the perfect spa-inspired blend. Added bonus if you diffuse this combination during a shower or bath so the steam from the hot water enhances the experience.




Summer is upon us and we are cultivating peaceful, easy feelings all season long! White Angelica is a wonderful blend for releasing the things that drag us down, and this combination is perfect for letting go of the weight of the world and being fully present with your current surrounds.



Moms and essential oils is such perfect paring, and this duo of Starter Bundle oils is perfect for your yoga practice. Diffuse this blend before, during and after your session to inspire feelings of relaxation and intentionality. Breathe deeply as you sit and meditate and let yourself be grounded.



We can't truly rest when our emotions are in a tangle, and this blend is helpful for releasing the weight of the world that we place on our shoulders. (This also makes a great roller blend!) White Angelica is a wonderful oil for emotional support, especially the feeling of overwhelm or carrying a half load.




In our modern world, stillness and rest don't come easy. We have to be intentional about finding time to slow down, disconnect and simply be still. When you are intentional with this practice, the noise of the outside world dies down, and you can find inner rest. Add these Starter Bundle oils to your diffuser, get comfy and just be still!

I have some great ideas that will help you show every mother in your life how special she is to you! Make sure you add a few things on your April Wellness Box so you can be ready for Mother's Day next month.

Whether she needs a little time to relax, some extra energy from taking care of ALL THE THINGS, some time for papering, a little emotional TLC or just some good old fashioned rest, here are a few ideas that we love!

Grab these amazing items to make up a specialized gift basket for all the moms in your life.

Create Relaxation

This blend of Copaiba, Vanilla, and Lime is like an instant beach vacation that's perfect anytime. We love the convince of the roll-on, and the lovely packaging makes the perfect gift.

For the mom who loves to relax with a long, hot soak, these Stress Away Bath Bombs are essential! All the zen vibes and none of the chemical found in conventional products. And a quick hack - cut the bath bombs into quarters for even more fun.

Moms carry so much. They are the keepers of schedules, emotions, menus, responsibilities, and more. And they often need a big, deep bath to release it all. We love this essential oil blend for daily use. The mix of floral oils makes a lovely perfume!

Give the Gift of Energy

Energy, wellness, vitality. That sums up NingXia Red pretty well, but if you're looking for more, check out April's Essentials post for more about this superfood supplement! Antioxidants are essential for energy, and NingXia is packed with them.

Ever heard of 'mom brain'? It's a real thing - women actually lose grey matter in the brain during pregnancy! All in all the things moms are juggling and no wonder we need a little help. Enter Nintro! We like to call this little shots 'brain fuel' because they help us focus.

Super B vitamins are the real MVP when its comes to energy levels. B Vitamins are crucial for all of us, and this B complex supplement is hands down the best on the market! Super B Vitamin is the Supplement Spotlight for April.

All Moms Need Emotional TLC

One of our favorite essential oil for daily emotional support, Joy is a floral oil that pairs well with Tangerine or Frankincense. Plus, it is incredible on its own and makes a wonderful perfume. This blend is especially helpful for new moms and during the postpartum phase.

The ultimate in emotional support, this kit includes six essential oil blends that can be used together each day to facilitate emotional release and healing - Valor, Harmony, Forgiveness, Present Time, Inner Child and Release.

The friend of those walking through hard times, this essential oil blend is a powerful emotional tool that also doubles as a lovely perfume. It pairs well with Lavender and Orange and it just as lovely diffused as it is worn!

Rest is Best!

Infused with Lavender, Davana, Lemon and Myrrh essential oils, this bath and shower gel is a favorite for daily use as well as a nice long bubble bath. Let mom sit and soak in the tub with the diffuser going for a little rest (and maybe even a nap).

This is a perfect sequel to a lavender shower or bath, and it leaves your skin so soft and nourished. The calming scent of lavender helps the mind and body relax. Find rest, especially after a full day of being a mom!
