October is upon us! Can you believe that 3/4 of the year has gone by and we are so close to the Holidays? Its the season of pumpkins, spice and everything nice!
This months education will focus on showcasing the new Holiday products that are launching this Saturday, October 7th and processing through grief and difficult emotions with essential oils and the dangers of synthetics. Having just lost my mom last week, this topic is near and dear to my heart and helping people walk through the same is something I would love to do to help others find calm and healing naturally.
Congratulations to Deb M. for winning our September giveaway of a bottle of Eucalyptus oil. This will be wonderful to have on hand during the winter months to support everything respiratory. I love to use a drop daily on my chest for prevention and several drops on the spine or chest daily, several times a day when distress sets in.
Enter to win a bottle of Gingersnap blend by Jacob and Kate for our October giveway. Just email me your favorite fall activity that you enjoy and one lucky winner will be chosen on October 31st. I personally love apple picking. I just went with my husband and we canned apple sauce and apple pie filling made with coconut sugar for winter. Its one of my favorite things to do in the Fall.
Do you know that statistics have shown that Proctor and Gamble use twice as much essential oil as is produced in the entire world? We have to ask, where are these essential oils coming from? There is more Lavender sold than there is grown, again, this can only point to synthetics bombarding the market. Why is this important? Adulterated oils mixed with synthetic extenders can be very detrimental , causing rashes, burns and skin irritations. Common additives such a propylene glycol, DEP or DOP (solvents that have no smell and increase the volume) can cause allergic reactions, besides being devoid of any therapeutic effects.

When you are assured you have a pure essential oil, you can know that the oils you have in your home are safe for your family from babies, teens, adults and even our pets. Young Living has been the industry leader in essential oils for more than 30 years and being a relationship focused business, you know you can get the education you need when you buy your kit, just by reaching out to those who helped you get started. We all purchased our kits because we desired a change in our life, our health, our home. When you use your oils daily, even just a drop or two, the changes in your body will be evident because pure essential oils bring harmony to the cells, invigorate them, and strengthen them.

Here is an excerpt from the EODR - The Powerful influence of Aromas on mind and body.
The fragrance of an essential oil can directly affect everything from your emotional state to your lifespan. When a fragrance is inhaled, the odor molecules travel up the nose where they are trapped by olfactory membranes well protected by the lining inside the nose. Each odor molecule fits like a little puzzle piece into specific receptor cells lining a membrane known as the olfactory epithelium. Each on these hundreds of millions of nerve cells triggers electrical impulses to the olfactory bulb, which then transmits the impulses to the gustatory center (where the sensation of taste is perceived), the amygdala (where emotional memories are stored) and other parts of the the limbic system of the brain. Because the limbic system is directly connected to those parts of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels, and hormone balance, essential oils can have some very profound physiological and psychological effects.
The sense of smell is only one of the five senses directly linked to the limbic lobe of the brain, the emotional control center. Anxiety, depression, fear, anger, and joy all emanate from this region. This is why the scent of a special fragrance can evoke memories and emotions even before we are even consciously aware of it. Where smells are concerned, we react first and think later. In contrast, all other senses (touch, taste, hearing, and sight) are routed through the thalamus, which acts as the switchboard for the brain, passing stimuli onto the cerebral cortex and other parts of the brain.
The hypothalamus is one of the most important parts of the brain, acting as our hormonal control center. It releases chemical messengers that can affect everything from our sex drive to energy levels. The production of growth hormones, sex hormones, thyroid hormones, and neurotransmitters, like serotonin, are all governed by the hypothalamus. The limbic lobe activates the hypothalamus.
In studies conducted at Vienna and Berlin Universities, researchers found that sesquiterpenes in the essential oils of sandalwood and frankincense can increase levels of oxygen in the brain by up to 28%. Such an increase in the brain oxygen may lead to a heightened level of activity in the hypothalamus and limbic systems of the brain, which can have dramatic effects of not only on emotions, learning and attitude, but also on many physical processes of the body, such as immune function, hormone balance, and energy levels. High levels of sesquiterpenes also occur in melissa, myrrh and clove oil. (EODR - 1st edition)
The reason I got started with Young Living 13 years ago was because of emotional trauma in our family. It worked then to create dramatic changes in our home, and it has worked the last few days after laying my mom to rest and during the 5 months I helped care for my mom in hospice. The days and especially nights were difficult to care for her but with Cortisop to help lower my cortisol naturally and the use of the oils for sleep, stress, anxiousness, and clarity of thought when she had me up all night were life changing. I don't think I could have done it without them. The loss of my mom, at age 94, has been difficult to say the least. I know so many of you have lost people you love too, grieving is a part of life, not a pleasant part, but something we all have to go through. I am so grateful for not only my faith, but Young Living oils because they have calmed my nervous system down when its overstimulated, they have relaxed my muscles and relieved tension, helped me sleep, woken me up through many stages of exhaustion, and comforted me through helping my brain with calming scents. (Christmas Spirit not only helps boost your immune system but also evokes a sense of security and calm to your brain when diffused or smelled straight from the bottle) Christmas Spirit is one of my top blends when I need to feel comforted and secure any time of the year, not just during the holidays. If you have undealt with emotions, check out our Feelings kit. The protocol that comes with it has been literally life changing for so many people in Young Living that have carried around emotions they have been stuck or that they did not want to process for years. I highly recommend you looking into using the kit for 30 days to see what life changing results you have.
I got started with Young Living because of my feelings and the emotions of my kids. I had just lost my oldest daughter tragically and all the “feelings” in our house were pretty negative to say the least. The days were long and hard with being a single widowed mama and now left with 4 kids grieving the loss of their sister, it was not always joyous!
We’re ready to move when we are tired of where we have been stuck, and I was tired of seeing my kids hurting and feeling like there was no solution. I wasn’t willing to use medications but didn’t know what the other options were until my friend invited me to a class where they talked about the power that’s in our plants and how it could positively affect our emotions and deep down feelings about life and circumstances beyond our control. “No way” I thought can liquid in a bottle do that but when your tired of being stuck where your at and ready to move and change, your up for anything! And so our journey began! Being a homeschool mama I like to test things out and see results for myself and boy did I see results and see many of them quickly. I saw Joy in the face of one child, calm in the countenance of another and for myself, I felt less out of control when I applied these gems daily. I was sold, invested and quickly became passionate about helping others experience the same!
Thirteen years and thousands of members later, I am still passionate about how these sweet little bottles can have life changing results when applied by people who are ready to make a change!

Holiday Spiced Pecans (Soaked & Dehydrated)
Even though this recipe has sugar in it, the nuts themselves are much healthier because they have been soaked and dehydrated first. This eliminates the anti-nutrients in them, making them much easier on our digestion. This is similar to the reasons we soak and sprout our grains first, and/or ferment them. These “anti-nutrients”, or “enzyme-inhibitors”, are what makes them be able to be stored for long periods of time without spoiling. That’s great for storage, but not so great for our digestive systems! So we need to neutralize them first, and we do that by soaking and dehydrating. (See instructions below for “Crispy Nuts”)
Sugar can be substituted for healthy sugar-substitute alternatives, however caution is advised as some of these sugar-substitutes can cause digestive upset in certain individuals as well.
YL Vitality oils can be substituted for the spices (Experiment to your own taste! Start with 1-2 drops. Check for taste.)
Great gifts for anytime of year but especially Thanksgiving and Christmas!
Gift in holiday tins, mason jars, or antique containers of your choice and decorate with holiday ribbon and natural fibers. Soaked & Dehydrated Crispy Nuts 
4 cups raw nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans, etc)
1 Tlbsp Sea Salt
Cover with filtered water
Soak 7 hours or overnight
Drain in colander
Dry - (spread nuts on a stainless steel baking pan and place in warm oven no more than 150 degrees for 12 to 24 hours, turning occasionally until completely dry and crisp.)(We use a dehydrator)
Holiday Spiced Pecans Recipe3 cups soaked & dehydrated pecan halves
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
1 T cinnamon
1/2 t ground cloves
1/2 t salt
1 1/2 t vanilla extract
Heat oven to 275 degrees. Bake nuts for 10 minutes. In saucepan combine sugar, water, cinnamon, cloves, salt. Bring to a boil, cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and nuts. Spread out (quickly) on wax paper or foil. If using Vitality oils, add them when you remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla at the same time.
If you have any questions about product usage, shipping, or if you would like to have your friends and family gather at your home while we educate on how to head on a path of great health, we would love to hear from you so we can make that happen! We always look forward to serving you!
