When we meet people, it is important to quickly and clearly let them know who and what we are. To do this in a way that is concise, enthusiastic, and memorable, it is sometimes called your “infomercial.”

1. Make your infomercial Short and Succinct. Does it make the other person say “tell me more?¢‚Ǩ¬ù or ?¢‚Ǩ?ìhow do you do that?” Grab them with an ‘actionable’?Ǭ† headline, like - “I take the fear out of standing up and speaking in public…”

2. Think of it in advance.?Ǭ† Create different ones according to your?Ǭ† ‘audience’ if you can in advance. People create images and assumptions in their mind.

3. Remember the Results you want to achieve. You want them to say “tell me more!”

4. Be Articulate in your message. Paint in the other person?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s mind a “word picture.” Help them to ’see’ what you do easily and effectively.

5. Time is of the essence-20 seconds is optimal. Or you will see their eyes glaze over.

6. Speak with Enthusiasm and Energy.?Ǭ† Your approach can be contagious when you show your passion and interest - which means you need to have some ‘action’ in what you say.

7. Set a Goal. How do you focus on what you do as a ‘benefit’ - such as “I help people who are facing the challenges of products that are slowly killing them…”

8. Focus on the the other person. Make it easy for them to hear and listen to you. Give your quick ‘headline’ and then say, “What is it you do?” Then find a way to “connect the dots” between you by relating to what they?Ǭ† have told you.

When you carefully plan how you introduce yourself, you will start interesting, dynamic conversations.?Ǭ† Always make the person you are speaking with curious and interested.?Ǭ† Tell them something that will stay in their mind when they think of you.

The bottom line is to introduce yourself in a way that will make people want to know you better.?Ǭ† Developing those relationships is the heart of networking.

Do you know about the power of therapeutic-grade Essential Oils and oil enhanced products you can have in your home?!!!

Here is some information that I think will amaze you?¢‚Ǩ¬¶.

Highly concentrated, essential oils contain virtually all of the plants healing nutrients, oxygenating molecules, trace minerals, enzymes, vitamins, hormones and more. Because they are concentrated, therapeutic grade essential oils are from 50 to 70 times more potent than the dried herbs or fresh plants that they are derived from.

Unlike dried herbs, which can lose up to 90% of the healing nutrients and oxygen molecules, property harvested and distilled Essential Oils do not. Read more about how antioxidants get into plants.

Research further shows that Essential Oils when applied to the soles of the feet will penetrate every singe cell of the body within 21 minutes.

Because the life force of the plant is contained in Essential Oils, and because this life force synergizes so favorably with the human body, Essential Oils are now being considered as medicine by some of the world?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s most prominent doctors.

Clinical research has proven 100% pure therapeutic-grade (without solvents or chemical additives), Essential Oils can:

?¢‚Ǩ¬¢ support a healthy Immune system
?¢‚Ǩ¬¢ create an environment unfriendly to viruses, bacteria, fungus
?¢‚Ǩ¬¢ act as a general antiseptic
?¢‚Ǩ¬¢ can retard or inhibit tumor growth

See my small and growing list of links to scientific studies.

Recent research has also shown that many of the so called ?¢‚Ǩ?ìsuper germs?¢‚Ǩ¬ù that has modern medicine so concerned, cannot survive in the presence of certain Therapeutic Grade Essential oils.

Read more about essential oils and supergerms and find my small but growing list of scientific studies.

This is certainly a message of hope!
?¢‚Ǩ?ìYoung Living offers health solutions found nowhere else on earth. These essential oils truly represent the new frontier of medicine; they have resolved cases that many professional had regarded as hopeless.?¢‚Ǩ¬ù ~ Terry Friedmann, M.D. Cofounder of American Holistic Medical Association

Feng Shui energies change from year to year. This is the most significant difference between classical Feng Shui and Black Hat or Tibetan Feng Shui (neither of which take into account the cyclical nature of time and space). Since we do not live in a ?¢‚Ǩ?ìstatic?¢‚Ǩ¬ù world it is important to acknowledge and work with the energies of a given year and take any necessary precautions.

In the Year of the Rat, the very bad energy of the ?¢‚Ǩ?ìFive Yellow?¢‚Ǩ¬ù - symbolizing obstacles and misfortunes is in the ?¢‚Ǩ?ìsouth.?¢‚Ǩ¬ù This center number often reflects the focus of events prevailing in the year. If there is an important space in your home or workplace (bedroom, entrance, office) in the south it is recommended that you negate the negative energy of the Five Yellow with a ?¢‚Ǩ?ìmetal wind chime,?¢‚Ǩ¬ù a chiming pendulum clock can also serve as an acceptable remedy, as would playing Tibetan singing bowls daily. It?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s the metal and sound that you?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢re looking to make happen as the vibrational frequency can help ?¢‚Ǩ?ìshift?¢‚Ǩ¬ù the bad energy and neutralize it.

The worst months will be: February, August, and November.

Another bad star number 2, symbolizing sickness, will arrive in the northwest in 2008. It is advised to ?¢‚Ǩ?ìnot?¢‚Ǩ¬ù do construction in the northwest of the house as it is not favorable to move earth or do construction here during 2008. To help dissolve the bad energy of the number 2 it is advised to string 6 metal coins and hang them in the northwest.

It is also not recommended to sit with your back to the South as you will be sitting against the unfavorable energy called the ?¢‚Ǩ?ìThree Shars?¢‚Ǩ¬ù or ?¢‚Ǩ?ìThree Killings.?¢‚Ǩ¬ù

In the Southwest will be the bad Star 7, representing scandals. The traditional solution is to place a 3 or 4 stemmed bamboo plant grown in a glass vase of water placed in the southwest.

There is potential for more flooding and water disasters during 2008. Be mindful of your house plumbing, roof, and other sources of possible flooding, potential sources of water damage, or fire damage.

The overall energy in our homes will be represented by what?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s called the ?¢‚Ǩ?ìFlying Star 1.?¢‚Ǩ¬ù This is not an actual star, but a name representing energy. The Flying Star 1 is water element and is at the center of every home and building.

Young living essential oils to diffuse that may help shift negative energies:

Young Living Singles:
Lemongrass
Frankincense
Sandlewood
Tangerine
Lemon
Thyme

Young Living Blends:
White Angelica
R.C.
Sacred Mountain

The most effective way to shift the energy of a space and to eliminate germs and unwanted odors is to diffuse your essential oils using a cold-air nebulizing diffuser. Learn more about diffusing…

Tip: You can take any essential oil single and make your own blend in the well of your diffuser. For example: several drops of thyme and tangerine would be quite nice aromatically and will also kill pathogens in the air.

As always, to get the best results use therapeutic-grade essential oils as they have a significant life-force and are capable of helping to make amazing differences.

Year of the Rat, Essential Oils and Our Health

Until January 15, 2008 take advantage of this special FREE offer - Essential 7 Oil Collection?Ǭ†

The Year of the Rat, 2008, is symbolized by two elements earth sitting on top of water. According to the cycle of birth and destruction, which governs the inter-relationship between elements, earth is the conqueror of water. However, the water of the Rat year is very strong and earth on top of water has no foundation and cannot control the water of the Rat year. Instead of the earth conquering water, it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s more like a confrontation between earth and water elements. This relationship is said to bring a year which is apparently stable with a lot of underlying tensions and confrontations.

The Chinese calendar year goes on a 60 year cycle. Which means we experienced the same year of yang earth on Rat in 1948.

The Rat belongs to the strongest water element and it is the first of the 12 animal signs. The Rat is also considered the ?¢‚Ǩ?ìFlower of Romance,?¢‚Ǩ¬ù thus will stimulate more romance and sex scandals.

The Rat is in a ?¢‚Ǩ?ìclash?¢‚Ǩ¬ù relationship with the Horse, a clash between water and fire element. This is a clash between water and fire elements and will often bring accidents related to both fire and water, air and the sea. The most famous water disasters in history, such as the South Asia tsunami on 26/12/2004 and the sinking of the Titanic on 14/4/1912, both incidents happened on a date with prominent appearance of the Rat.

Looking at past history, in 1228 a year of Earth Rat, there is big flood in Holland killing 100,000 people, and in 1588 another year of Earth Rat, the Spanish Armada encountered storm in Ireland and 5000 people died in this heavy storm. In 1888, year of Earth Rat, there is ?¢‚Ǩ?ìGreat Blizzard?¢‚Ǩ¬ù in the east coast of the USA and 400 people died.

The Rat is in a ?¢‚Ǩ?ìpenalty?¢‚Ǩ¬ù relationship with the Rabbit. Which may cause disharmony and irritations.

For people born under the Horse or Rabbit it is said that to negate some of the negative influence and turbulence one might choose to wear a pendent of an Ox.

(Note: many Chinese Astrology books are extremely simplistic and if you were born in late January or early February you may not be the Chinese animal you thought you were.)

Year of the Rat and Essential Oils around the Home

Essential oils have been used as a healing modality before biblical days and have been considered man?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s first medicine. Therapeutic usage of pure essential oils is seeing a re-emergence and is anything but “New Age.”

The popularity in using therapeutic-grade essential oils in conjunction with holistic healing practices and on their own in daily life is helping many to discover there are safe and effective ways to ease every day ailments and situations such as: headaches, stress, sinus problems, germ & bacteria exposure, toxic mold, digestive upsets, and much more.

The novelty aromatherapy products widely available will not have the same beneficial effect as a therapeutic-grade essential oil - as a matter of fact, those products may have adverse affects due to their adulteration and chemical additives. If you experience the sick feeling like I do when I go near a box store isle and get one whiff of the novelty aromatherapy candles, diffusing products, soaps, and so forth - rest assured, your body is trying to tell you something, those products are toxic.

There are hundreds of real essential oils available and there is no need to settle for inferior products. I love showing people that there are so many ways to use high quality essential oils - ways that you may never have dreamed.

9 Ways to Use Therapeutic-grade Essential Oils

1. Ease stress. Put a drop into your palm and dip your fingertip into the oil, then apply to pulse points. Good Young Living essential oils are: Roman Chamomile, Lavender, Sandlewood, or Cedarwood.

2. Pick me up / mental clarity. Studies have shown essential oils of Peppermint and Lemon do the trick. The Young Living blend, Brain Power, is quite good too.

3. Good night’s sleep. Put a drop in your palm, rub on soles of feet and lightly on your pillow. Good essential oils for aiding restful sleep: Lavender, Roman Chamomile, Valerian (you may not want to put this on your pillow though), and the Young Living blends of Surrender, or Hope.

4. Inhalation. A drop in cupped palms over the nose to open breathing passages and help ease head pain. Good choices are: Ravensara, Peppermint, Eucalyptus radiata, Geranium, or the Young Living blend M-Grain.

5. Soles of feet. You may be surprised that rubbing a couple drops of a real essential oil on the soles of the feet can have a very beneficial effect. I wasn’t until I started applying oils to my feet that I became fully aware of how much they absorb, now I am especially conscious of what touches my feet and my skin in general. Good essential oils for staying grounded are the Young Living blends Grounding and Sacred Mountain.

6. Digestion. Rub a couple drops on the belly. Good choices would be: Peppermint, Fennel or the Young Living blend Di-Gize.

7. Cologne / perfume. Essential oils make great choices for a fragrant cologne/perfume. Some of my Young Living blends are: Joy, Abundance, Motivation, Sensation, Sacred Mountain, Gentle Baby, and Inspiration.

8. Diffusing. Using a cold-air nebulizer diffuser is the best way to get these essential oils into the air so they can provide benefits [killing germs and bacteria, purifying the air, killing toxic mold, and raising the vibrational energy of the home]. Terrific choices would be: Thieves for mold and germs, Purification for yucky smells, Christmas Spirit for germs and odors, Citrus Fresh for a nice fresh scent and pick-me-up, Sensation for those romantic evenings, Joy to uplift the overall mood, Exodus II, Sandlewood or Frankincense for meditation or other spiritual practices, Inspiration or Brain Power for creative times, to name only a handful.

9. Bathing. Feel like you’ve just treated yourself to a spa experience. Add 4-6 drops to sea salt or epsom salts and add to your bath water. Some excellent choices would be: Lavender, Roman Chamomile, Sandlewood, or Young Living blends of Sensation, Melrose, PanAway, Joy, Gentle Baby, Motivation, Inspiration, Gratitude, Live with Passion, or Dragon Time.

Do you know there is a US government website and database where you can submit an adverse side effect of a vaccine and/or review adverse vaccine side effects? Well, you know now!

This database lists only 228,212 adverse vaccine events between 1990 and October 2007. I wonder why the number is so low? Perhaps because not many of us know it’s available???

In 1990, the number of entries were 1,920. In 2006, there are 17,468.

I think MORE people need to know about this, don’t you!?

Feel free to spread the word about this by sending out a link to my essential oil blog at: http://aromatherapy4uBLOG.com , or to

The National Vaccine Information Center: search the database at: http://www.medalerts.org/vaersdb/ , or

MedAlerts at:
http://www.medalerts.org/index.html

To Report Vaccine Damage

If you suspect that you or your child has experienced a vaccine reaction, report that reaction to the government at the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS). Due to reporting of adverse events, the rotavirus vaccine was removed from the market for causing bowel obstructions in infants and children.

You can also report a reaction to the National Vaccine Information Center. We have kept a vaccine adverse event database since 1982. To report a reaction to NVIC, click here.

Since 1990, the U.S. Government has collected many thousands of reports of vaccine damage. This database, called the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is available for anyone to download. However, the data available from the government is difficult to use for these reasons:

?¢‚Ǩ¬¢ It is broken up into separate databases for each year

?¢‚Ǩ¬¢ Each year’s data is split into two different files: one with the details of the case, and another with specific information about the vaccinations that were given.

?¢‚Ǩ¬¢ There are some formatting errors in these files

?¢‚Ǩ¬¢ This site combines all of the VAERS databases into a single online search engine

Click here to use the US government’s VAERS search engine.

Watch this video and you’ll wonder why the American Academy of Pediatrics still fights state legislatures about the use of thimerosal (mercury) in vaccines behind the scenes after publicly asking for their removal eight years ago, after watching Brownyn Hancock’s disturbing documentary Vaccination: The Hidden Truth.

If you’ve ever doubted the real need for vaccinations, especially with recent recommendations from the CDC to vaccinate young girls for the human papillomavirus (HPV), AND the latest vaccine to prevent cavities, I urge you to watch this video that I’ve posted on my essential oil blog…

[90 minutes, probably one of the best time investments you will make in your life]

How do researchers get favorable results for vaccines?

A few common ways (of many):

?¢‚Ǩ¬¢ strict definitions of “vaccinated”

?¢‚Ǩ¬¢ strict definitions of “disease”

?¢‚Ǩ¬¢ “false positives”

While I watched this video… I couldn’t help but think of all the times I saw or heard about infants and children becoming sick or having reactions to vaccinations. I feel horrible that I didn’t know more about this in the past. That I could have perhaps shared this information, in doing so, made someones life better.

Another thing on this video that really stands out in my mind that I hadn’t realized before… that some, if not all, childhood illnesses are present for a reason. Like having mumps as a teenage girl prevents ovarian cancer. What if… these childhood non-life-threatening illnesses are “suppose” to be a natural way for our bodies to NOT get many of the diseases that are out of control in our society today?

We HAVE been fed, over recent generations, a well packaged web of lies.

The thing I am most grateful for right now is that there are blogs and that mine is quite popular. Why? I feel empowered, like I can make a much larger difference in the world. Reaching so many more people and providing them with information so they can make “informed” and “educated” choices for themselves and their families.

Thank you for encouraging and helping me to make my blog what it is., I wouldn’t be doing this if it weren’t for you.

Aromatherapy is a broad and expanding field that scientists have recently begun to explore.?Ǭ† Aromatherapy means to treat with aroma through inhalation.?Ǭ† It is well known that aroma reaches and influences the deepest human instincts.?Ǭ† When high quality/therapeutic-grade essential oils are diffused and inhaled, aromatherapy not only delivers the calming benefits of fragrance, it also delivers the many health benefits unique to essential oils.

Increasing Oxygen and Nutrient Uptake

It has been theorized that when essential oils are diffused, they can increase atmospheric oxygen in the atmosphere, essential oils increase atmosphere oxygen by releasing oxygenating molecules into the air.

Not only do they increase oxygen in the atmosphere, essential oils increase the body’s ability to transport oxygen into the cells.?Ǭ† The lipid-soluble structure of essential oils allows them to easily pass through cell membranes in the nose and diffuse into the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, the essential oils can help transport oxygen and nutrients into the cells.?Ǭ† One of the causes of disease in both plants and humans is the inability of nutrients to penetrate the cell.?Ǭ† This results in cell deterioration, can lead to cell mutation, and creates a host for bacterial and disease.

Chemical Cleansing

Essential oils can make chemicals nontoxic by fracturing their molecular structure.

European scientists have found that essential oils work as natural chelators, bonding to metallics and chemicals and carrying them out of the body.

Filtering and Purifying the Air

Therapeutic-grade essential oils also increase ozone and negative ions, which inhibit bacterial growth.?Ǭ† This prevents and destroys odors room mold, cigarettes, animals, etc.?Ǭ† Diffusing essential oils work as an outstanding air filtration system.
Olfactory System
Tracing the path of essential oils through the olfactory system is fascinating and telling.?Ǭ† The olfactory membranes are very tiny and well protected by the lining of the nose.?Ǭ† They contain about 800 million nerve endings that receive the microfine, vaporized oil particles, carry them along the axon of the nerve fibers, and connect them with the secondary neurons in the olfactory bulb. The impulses are then transported ot the limbic system and the olfactory sensory center at the base of the brain. They pass next between the pituitary and pineal gland and move to the amygdala, which is the memory center for fear and trauma.

Only in 1989 was it discovered that the amygdala plays a major role in storing and releasing emotional trauma and that aroma has a profound effect in triggering a response frm this gland.?Ǭ† Dr. Joseph Ledoux, of the New York Medical University, theorized that this could be a major breakthrough in helping to trigger the release of pent-up emotional trauma.

People who have had nose surgery or other structural conditions my find it difficult or impossible to detect a complete odor.?Ǭ† The same is true of people who heavily use makeup, perfume, cologne, hair sprays, hair coloring, perms, or other products with synthetic odors.

Olfactory nerves are like other nerves and organs in the body. They respond to electrical signals and impulses that form coded messages dispatched to various areas of the body.?Ǭ† This may be why inhalation of some oils will increase the production of endorphins, neurotransmitters, and antibodies. Real fragrances, rather than those of chemical sources, are one of man’s greatest enjoyments - bringing back memories and creating feelings of security, grounding, and well-being.

Of course if you’re looking for a home-based business or career change, you have the opportunity right now to get into the best smelling business known! Yes, Young Living is International! Take a look at the Starter kits and contact me if you have questions.

As a work at home mom or home-based business owner, it can be hard to strike a balance between business and family life. Your children, spouse and daily commitments need you, but so do your clients. Finding that perfect balance helps reduce stress and enables you to experience more harmony in your life. But exactly how do you find that balance?

Here are four tips to help you achieve greater balance:

1. Dream of your perfectly balanced day ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú Find a quiet place and ask yourself, ?¢‚Ǩ?ìIf I could have the perfect day ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú what would it look like??¢‚Ǩ¬ù Be very specific. What do you see, smell, feel, experience?
Write it down.

2. Make a list of things you would like less of and more of in your life. Rate each of those likes on a scale of 1 ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú10 with 1 being things you like least and 10 being thing you want most.

Write down the top 3 things you want more of in your life. Then write 1 idea of how you could get MORE of that in your life.

Then write down the top 3 things you want less of in your life. Make a note of ways that you could have LESS of that in your life.

3. Create a daily and weekly to do lists. When you write items on this list, be sure to ask yourself, ?¢‚Ǩ?ìWhat 3 items, if I did them would make the greatest impact with the least amount of effort??¢‚Ǩ¬ù Then write down those things. Limit it to three so your list is do-able.

By prioritizing, you can do the things that really matter most in your work and life.
4. Review your daily top 3 priorities every morning. Consider writing them on an index card and placing it somewhere where you?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ll see it like on your computer.
Summary: You are in control of your life. With every decision you make you shape your own reality. Balance is simply a matter of knowing what you want and making good decisions. By deciding what you want, making a plan, and actively going for it, you can create the life of your dreams.

If you or someone you know is looking for a career change and are wanting to get into the wellness business consider starting working with me. Contact me through my website.

Essential oils were mankind?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s first medicine. From Egyptian hieroglyphics and Chinese manuscripts, we know that priests and physicians have been using essential oils for thousands of years.

In Egypt, essential oils were used in the embalming process and well preserved oils were found in alabaster jars in King Tut?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s tomb. Egyptian temples were dedicated to the production and blending of the oils and recipes were recorded on the walls in hieroglyphics. There is even a sacred room in the temple of Isis on the island of Philae where a ritual called ?¢‚Ǩ?ìCleansing the Flesh and Blood of Evil Deities?¢‚Ǩ¬ù was practiced. This form of emotional clearing required three days of cleansing using particular essential oils and oil baths.

There are 188 references to essential oils in the Bible. Oils such as frankincense, myrrh, rosemary, hyssop, and spikenard were used for anointing and healing the sick.

In Exodus, the Lord gave the following recipe to Moses for ?¢‚Ǩ?ìa holy anointing oil?¢‚Ǩ¬ù:

Myrrh
Sweet Cinnamon
Sweet Calamus
Cassia
Olive Oil

The three wise men presented the Christ child with essential oils of frankincense and myrrh. There are also accounts in the New Testament of the Bible where Jesus was anointed with spikenard oil; ?¢‚Ǩ?ìAnd being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box and poured [it] on his head?¢‚Ǩ¬ù (Mark 14:3). ?¢‚Ǩ?ìThen took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment?¢‚Ǩ¬ù (John 12:3).
