Gathering with your favorite people becomes even sweeter with your favorite Young Living products on hand (and your wellness habits in full swing).
Patchouli, Cinnamon Bark, Clove and Nutmeg will be the stars of your favorite diffuser blends. Spiced Turmeric Herbal Tea will be a great start to your morning. And when it's time to wind down, let the evening melt away with ImmuPro chewable tablets..
- Autumn Breeze: 3 drops Orange, 3 drops Cinnamon Bark, 2 drops Northern Lights Black Spruce, 1 drop Clove and 1 drop Nutmeg
- Coffee Shop: 4 drops Stress Away, 3 drops Cinnamon Bark, 2 drops Tangerine
- Pumpkin Spice: 3 drops Clove, 3 drops Cinnamon Bark, 2 drops Orange, 2 drops Nutmeg, 1 drop Ginger
- Add 10 drops each Cinnamon Bark and Vanilla

You can use this oil to help you move out of a fake role and more into the true version of you.
- Simply sit in a quiet place, add a drop of Cinnamon Bark to your palms, rub in well, then cup your hands over your nose and breathe deeply. Repeat a positive affirmation, a personal truth or scripture. Sit and breathe until you feel something shift. You can repeat this process as often as necessary.
- Clove essential oil is an antioxidant powerhouse! Clove has an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value of 1,078,700 μTE/100 g, meaning it provides your body with a large supply of antioxidants to support health and healing. (To give you an idea of what this means, oranges are created 750 μTE/100 g and kale is rated at 1,770 μTE/100 g.)
- Clove is a key ingredient in the Thieves essential oil blend because of its incredible immune support properties.
- Add 2 drops Clove to 1 cup Epsom salt and then add to your bath water (ideally, let the water run into and over a cup containing the salts) for a relaxing soak. Sit back and soak up all the health benefits of Clove essential oil.
- Don't want the full body experience? Cut the recipe in half and add the salts to warm water to a large bin for a simple, wonderful foot soak.

Lavender
June's Oil Spotlight
Lavender essential oil has a scent that's a wonderful blend of fresh, floral, clean and calm. It's this dynamic aroma that has made the plant a classic for perfumes, soaps, freshness, and beauty products.
Lavender is a great beginner oil and a must for every home, which is why its a part of the Everyday Oils Collection in the Starter Bundle. Lavender essential oil isn't a favorite only because if its classic scent - its also highly versatile. From skin care products to relaxing routines, this oil can infuse and enhance many areas of your life.
Each month we focus on using an oil every day to help us in accomplishing our goals. Join us in choosing a method of application and simply getting this oil on and around you every day in June. My goal is to use up an entire bottle for my personal use.
Lavender AT A Glance
- Has a fresh, floral aroma that pairs well with many other oils
- Can help cleanse and soothe minor skin irritations
- Can be soothing to the skin after a day in the sun
- May reduce the appearance of blemishes
- Support aging skin
- Cams and relaxes the mind and body
- Soothes seasonal respiratory needs
Background
- Fear and Abandonment, being left alone. By rubbing Lavender over the abdomen and using the mantra "I embrace all life's experiences" can help us be open to self-reliance and our contentment to all things. The opposite of abandonment is not being fully self-reliant, but being connected to everything working together for our good.
- Fear of Criticism. This one is huge, especially if you are in a line of work where you put yourself out there often (or if you have a high-maintenance toddler too!) Using Lavender as perfume while paring it with mantras and unconditional love for ourselves can be a great practice for developing self confidence.
- Fear of New Things, fear of moving forward. Sometimes there are big transitions in life and sometimes it seems scary to open ourselves up to change. Lavender has a beautiful way of calming the central nervous system to help us be more open to change and gaining positive momentum.
Daily Habits with Lavender
- Unwind in the evening with a calming, Lavender-infused neck or back massage. Feeling tense? Add a little Peppermint and Frankincense.
- Use Lavender as a part of a bedtime routine by rubbing it on the bottoms of your feet and diffusing it next to your bed.
- Make a relaxing Lavender eye pillow (find the details here)
- Rub Lavender and coconut oil on the skin after time in the sun or make an after-sun spray or balm.
- 1/4 cup solid coconut oil (or liquid carrier for a spray)
- 10 drops Peppermint essential oil
- 20 drops Lavender essential oil
- Optional: 15 drops Tea Tree essential oil for extra red/hot skin.
- Add 10 drops of Lavender to 1 cup Epsom salt to a bath to create a relaxing environment. We also love adding Peace & Calming or Frankincense to the mix.
- Use Lavender seasonally to support the airways when air quality is less than ideal.
- Seasons Change Roller Blend: 15 drops each Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Copaiba then fill it with carrier oil. Roll over the chest, wrists, or just below the nostrils.
- Add 5 drops each Lavender and Copiaba to 1 cup fine grain sea salt and dilute with 8-12 oz distilled water to make a DIY nasal rinse solution.
- Use a drop of Lavender Vitality under the tongue or swiped on the inside of the cheek.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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."
- 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."
- I have courage to honor my truth.
- I learn from all experiences.
- I forgive (others or myself).
- I support myself.
- I am worthy.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
- Anger
- Frustration
- Being held back
- Rebellion
- Feeling wronged
- Fear of success
- Loss of identity
- Cleansing
- Freedom
- Harmony
- Unconditional love
- 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."
- 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
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.

- Forgive yourself for allowing the person to affect your health and happiness.
- 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).
- Give the other person permission to forgive you.
- See the good in the situation.
- Be thankful for the experience and the lessons you gained from it.
