Essential Oils for Healing Your Body or Changing a Reaction

Did you know you can use essential oils for healing your body or changing a reaction?    

Since I am familiar with Young Living Essential Oils, and know that they are therapeutic grade essential oils I’m going to reference a few of their oils today in this blog.  

You can use any comparable blend or singles that seems to work for you.  

Here are some tips:  make sure you are careful when handling the oils to not get your hands near your eyes after applying them.  

If you do have a red reaction or burning sensation with one of the “hot” oils (clove, cinnamon, peppermint, etc.)  dilute it with olive oil or Young Livings V6. 

Some oils make you photosensitive so you wouldn’t want to go out in the sun after applying them.  Be aware of the properties of the oils you choose to use. Use them carefully and sparingly at first to see how your body reacts.

Here are some of my favorite oils and a few of their basic uses. 

Thieves Oil:  This is one of those remedies to always have on hand.   I suggest using this if you have a sore throat.  You can put one drop directly on your tongue and it helps kick the cold out in a much shorter period of time, decrease the sore throat pain instantly, or you may just not get a cold at all.  I also suggest diluting it with olive oil and putting it directly on your glands if they are swollen right before you get a cold.  If there is a bug bite I suggest putting it directly on a bug bite, stops the itch and the oil is antimicrobial antiviral.  Not on the face as it has clove oil in it which would burn.  Don’t get it on your lips either.  Not a fun experience.

Peppermint Oil:  is a hot oil as well and needs to be diluted.  Careful to not get it anywhere near the eyes.  Use it for headaches or even a fever.  I’ve used it on my forehead (be very careful as this is way too close to the eyes) but it sure worked when running a headache with a fever.  Use it on the base of the skull at the back of the head, feels great on a headache.

Di-Gize:  is an oil to use to aid digestion if you ate something that didn’t agree with you or your stomach was aggravated.   Apply it directly to your stomach region.

Orange Oil:  is uplifting to your mood .  Try  diffusing  it within your home or in the car (wipe on air vents on car trips).  

Peace and Calming Oil: is great to place on the air vents in a car when traveling a long distance and the children or adults are getting agitated on a long ride.

Frankincense Oil: is a great oil to keep around for a variety of applications.  I like it for inducing a feeling of mental peace, relaxation, satisfaction and spirituality. It also awakens insight, helps you to go within dispersing  anxiety, anger and stress. It can be used diluted on wounds for antiseptic properties.  You  can use this on bug bites as it is known to have an anti-inflammatory effect, but I like the affects of Thieves better.  Studies have been done which show it promotes regeneration of healthy cells and also keeps the existing cells and tissues healthy.

Lavender Oil:  Lavender is great for the soothing effect it has. Scent memory is very powerful and if used at bedtime when you are relaxing and preparing for sleep you can train a relaxation response to the oil.  Take it with you on the airplane or traveling and it will help re-trigger that response when traveling.  It relaxes the body as well as it can be used to decrease the scarring effects of minor burns and also has antiseptic properties. 

Hope you enjoy experimenting with essential oils.

Ho'oponopono as Way to Make a Change in Your World & Your Consciousness

In an earlier blog entitled 7 Ways to Make a Change in Your World and Re-Focus Your Life I mentioned Ho’oponopono.   Today is the day to talk a little about that.  It’s an incredible tool for change.

Dr. Stanley Hew Len worked at the Hawaii State Hospital clinic for the mentally ill and used Ho’oponopono to heal the criminals who committed violent crimes against humanity.   

The violent criminals were housed in this clinic, as they couldn’t be tried for reasons of mental illness,  until they were deemed mentally competent to stand trial. 

Needless to say he basically healed the people in the ward, he was there almost four years and only a few patients had to be relocated when the clinic eventually closed.  His teacher, the late Mornah Nalamaku Simeona taught him this art. 

Dr. Hew Len took each patient file and sat with it, waiting for what would arise in him, sadness, fear, anger, resentment, etc.   

He would then do Ho’oponopono into that aspect of himself working at healing himself.  First recognizing this was an aspect of his creation, then regretting that his perceptions created his reality,  asking for Divine guidance in healing it and removing it, and being grateful to the Divine for doing so and guiding him in it.    

Your perceptions are your reality and you are responsible for them.   

If someone is depressed, the kids are out of control, another is angry, you are responsible for the part of you that perceives it.   

The world is your creation, it’s not your fault, but you are responsible to heal that part of you that perceives the person, place or thing as a problem.

He thought of the other person as aspects of himself that needed healing.  I believe this is an important point to make as it allows us to go within deeper.  

 Scientifically, if there is really only One energy and it flows through us all then truly the other is part of yourself.  Healing yourself will in turn positively affect the other people around you.  

 When we do onto others, it is doing onto ourselves whether the actions are positive or negative.  Have compassion for the quality in them that is irritating you, work with it in yourself as well if you can see it as an exacerbated reflection of something you do not like about yourself, whatever comes up in you heal that.   

However challenging it may be to look at yourself in this way, it is liberating if you dare to take the journey. 

You are responsible for your creation of every reaction you have.    

Whenever an issue or reaction comes up in the Ho’oponopono way, say "I love you, I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you." I suggest you say this to yourself as well as the other for bringing it to your attention.  

 This is an ongoing process as moment to moment issues arise, but you can change your life. Make sure you get to a feeling of compassion and the emotion of the words when you use them. If done in sincerity things will change.  

 Take responsibility for you.

How Does Sound Affect Your Body?

I could show the negative or positive effects of different sounds on different people through the use of muscle testing, but that would require you to be in my presence. 

In essence, one tests a muscle in the clear to make sure it's strong and functional.

If that same muscle that was strong in the clear goes weak when music is played for you, that music did not support your body.  

The same thing happens when you lie, a once strong muscle will test week.  

This is a generalization of muscle testing, and you want to make sure the person doing the testing is clean in their thoughts and intent, as they can affect the outcome.

Your body will lead you to the truth if you tap into it.

Certain sounds and music compositions have the power to adversely affect you, or positively support your health and well being.   

Ultimately, you cannot lie to yourself. 

The body looses energetic coherence between its conscious and subconscious beliefs when you lie - they are no longer in harmony.  Your subconscious mind knows your lying and you can't fake it out, this will cause a disharmony within yourself and depletes energy from within.

The muscle will go weak if you do not like something, if the sound doesn't resonate positively with you  it is not contributing to creating harmony within you. This may not be a conscious reaction.

Also, it’s not a good plan to fall asleep with noisy, cantankerous vocals going on as your subconscious mind is always alert and your conscious mind is not there to be a filter when you are sleeping.  

What happens is that any information you are exposed to while you are asleep bypasses the conscious mind and goes right into the depths of your subconscious mind.  

You would then be programming yourself with whatever the words of the music are saying.   

Again, if you’re hearing talk about society being bad or anger at establishment, it will program you for more of this thinking pattern. 

Who needs more of that?  

 Remember, focus on positive thoughts, things which you want to create more of in your life. 

Wherever your thoughts go energy flows, so be wise with what you program yourself with.  

Remember, choose music that creates harmony in your body, mind, and spirit.   Include vocals of a positive nature to support your entire being.

7 Ways to Make a Change in Your World and Re-Focus Your Life

Through love and compassion for you, all things are possible.  If you are stuck in the position of believing the worst for yourself in your life’s possibilities, stop, change your focus and start to believe for the best outcome for you. 

You have this opportunity now to stop your thoughts and redirect your mind.  Believe for the best outcome for you and allow new opportunities to avail themselves to your conscious reality. 

 DO so now. 

There is no time like the present to make a change for yourself toward a better life.  This will also affect everyone in your life. 

If you walk in a place of anger in your life, choose to commit yourself to walking through life differently.  If you walk in a place of sadness in your life, stop now, choose to commit yourself to walking through life with a different vantage point.  First notice what it is you want to change and then make the commitment to do so.  It is your life, live it for your own personal growth and enjoyment.

Are there old beliefs that are constantly coming up again and again to your conscious mind that you no longer want?  If so you need to address them, they need not haunt you your entire life.  Turn and face them, become aware of the thoughts of yourself or your world that you no longer choose to have as part of your conscious adventure of life.  Use techniques to change these thoughts, here are a few:

·     EFT – Emotional Freedom Technique – Releasing unwanted issues.

·         Light  -  Sun light can change emotional responses and more.

·         Color – Different colors cause you to react differently in the world around you.

·         Sound -  Same as color.

·         Prayer – enough said.

·         Ho’oponopono – effective in clearing emotional blocks within yourself toward you or others.

·         Essential Oils –  the same, using it to highten or subdue your reactions or heal the body in general.  

More information on all these techniques coming in future blog posts.

Through the use of these techniques, you will notice a change in your state of consciousness.  You will be clearing blocks which will make it more easy for you to achieve a state of compassion for yourself and others, leading to a better world all the way around.

How Thoughts Effect Your Health

Here is an example of someone effecting their health.  I treated this man who came in with severe chronic low back pain.  He was treated every day for an hour.  During this time we discussed his case and how he perceived his world.   Initially he didn’t believe that his chronic low back pain was related to his state of mind in any way.  

We consistently could get his pain to decrease or even go away completely.  Each day it decreased. 

By Friday of the first week,his long term acute low back pain was totally gone and he felt like a new man. 

He saw that over the weekend he got into a fear state thinking “what if it returned?” 

After having this thought, his deep pain once more returned to his low back.  He started to realize that his consciousness played a role in his pain.  Once again we were able to make the pain go that Monday. 

Tuesday he started to see when he was irritated the low back pain started to return.  He came in and we started to work on him.  I could feel the presence of healing energy within the room wanting to help him this day.  This was the day I truly noticed when someone was blocking the receiving of the energy that was present. 

I didn’t say that out loud as I didn’t want to put this in his head.  Instead he started to speak and said, “I think I’m blocking the healing.”  I remember saying “would you like me to help you release that and allow yourself to heal?” 

He said “yes” and we proceeded to remove his block to his own healing.  By the end of this second week he could clearly see his role in his own healing process.  It was an amazing event for both of us.  He learned about his own consciousness playing a role in his health and started to see how his moment to moment state of mind affected his back. 

I learned that even when I feel the presence of that energy which heals people in the room they can block their own reception of it. Apparently, if they choose to they can be assisted in clearing their receptivity to the healing energy. 

Truly each of us are in total control of what happens to us energetically even if it doesn’t seem that way most of the time.  Ha! 

It’s sort of like a divine comedy on us even when it doesn’t seem like good humor. Trust me, it’s an amazing paradoxical journey even for me.

I truly believe and have seen matter shift instantly when the light of love is willingly received and the shift can be accepted by the person who is dealing with a specific issue.

As long as we show up with love and compassion the other person is free to do whatever they need to do to release their impediment to healing, or not.

Sometimes it is a bit of a challenge to identify one’s source of resistance within and let it go with compassion.

What transpires is between each of us and our Source.

It is also an interesting lesson to not be attached to the outcome while showing up wholeheartedly for someone else.
