“The Oil Story” begins in early civilization when human beings first discovered the enchanting and beneficial fragrance of plants.

From the earliest days on earth, our ancestors used the fragrant plants to heal, uplift, anoint and empower their lives. Why should fragrance, or aroma, be so powerful, and so sought after by people all over the world throughout history?

Consider for a moment: Why do you give flowers as a sign of love, good wishes or blessing? What is so magical about the fragrance of a rose? The scent of a pine forest? Is it possible that these fragrances are not only beautiful, but also life changing?

Modern day discoveries help us to understand our need for plants as something more than just food, decoration and shelter. Thanks to laboratory research, we now know something about the chemistry and action of plant fragrances, which come from the unique and mysterious aromatic liquids hidden in various parts of plants–their leaves, petals, roots, seeds, bark, stem and even fruit.

These aromatic liquids are called “essential oils” now, but they were called “precious oils” and “sacred oils” in ancient times. They were used not only for physical wellbeing, longevity, beauty, courage, wealth and political power, but also for sacred purposes in temples, religious rituals, and at births and deaths.

The function of essential oils in nature is to keep plants healthy, free of infection, to repel harmful insects, and to communicate–to each other, to insects, to animals, and to us! As it turns out, the way they affect us is a lot like the way they affect plants, acting on our immune systems, our muscles, internal organs, skin and circulation, and even our emotions, sometimes all at once!

How? Plant fragrances are made of nature’s ancient molecules: complex substances whose structure allows them to pass easily and quickly through our skin, and through the cell membranes of every cell in our bodies. We breathe them in and instantly, as they touch the brain, the molecules of essential oils enliven neurons, inspire emotions, awaken immune response, stimulate hormones, which can then enhance energy, digestion, mental clarity, body temperature, circulation and the feeling of being connected to nature. They are also unique in nature, different from any other natural product you have ever tried, enhancing every part of your body, mind and spirit, with just one or two drops at a time.

“The Oil Story” has evolved into many innovative uses of essential oils that are validated by research. They are now grown through sustainable farming methods, distilled carefully, and then combined into expert formulations of unique essential oil blends. They are added to nutritional supplements, used to boost fitness and support weight management. Additionally, they are added to personal care products for their wonderful scents and notable enhancement to the skin.

Now, we have extensive education on the Science of Essential Oils. We have an unconditional guarantee of quality from the best source of pure, high quality oils in the world…Young Living Essential Oils.  Their farms are based mainly in Utah, Idaho, France and Ecuador. They are major producers who stand out by maintaining the high standards that are necessary for the best quality of therapeutic grade essential oils. All the attributes I have mentioned are specifically ascribed to this company. I cannot speak to the efficacy of any other producers of essential oils. The standards Young Living maintains makes them an extremely hard act to follow.

It’s really important to understand that the safety and life-changing effects of essential oils are dependent entirely on their purity and their quality. Generally speaking, essential oils that you find in department stores, and even health food stores, are of uncertain quality at best. E veryone at Young Living Essential Oils has made it their mission to provide you with the very best, independently tested, life enhancing essential oils.

Repatterning is an interactive system that is facilitated by a trained practitioner.  It allows you to create positive change in any area of your life where you experience limitation, struggle or imbalance.  It’s a process of transforming the patterns that manifest as your life challenges, such as: poor health, financial distress, unfulfilling relationships, lack of self confidence, blocked creativity, never having enough time, etc.  Once these non-coherent patterns are identified and shifted, positive outcomes are automatically experienced.  Your challenges truly give you an opportunity to move to a higher level of order, awareness and self-expression.  They simply let you know there are areas of discord that need to be updated to a higher frequency of resonance and coherence.

Repatterning is based on a foundation of principles from new physics and psychology, as well as, ancient knowledge of the Chakra system of India and the Five Element Meridian system of China.  Repatterning supports us in opening to embrace life and having the courage to walk our true path.  Each session utilizes numerous modalities for creating coherence, such as: sound, light, movement, visualization, emotional release, energetic contact, breath and energy balancing tools.  This depends on what your system will be most responsive to at that time.  Sessions may include the use of pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils and the BEMER technology (Bio Electro Magnetic Energy Regulation).

Repatterning focuses on clarifying, clearing and shifting your body, mind and spirit into positive alignment with your goals, intentions and aspirations on all levels.  Repatterning happens at the level of the conscious and unconscious mind.  This is essential in order for deep shifts and profound healing to happen!

Infants, Children, Teens and Animals respond so well to these sessions!!

If you sense that a Repaterning may be right for you at this point in your life, you’re probably right!

15 Most Cleansing Foods

Apples: Apples are high in pectin, a type of fiber that binds to cholesterol and heavy metals in the body. It helps to eliminate these toxins and cleanses the intestines.

Avocados: Avocado is a cleansing food that contains a nutrient called glutathione, which cleanses many toxins from the body, and helps the liver detoxify and eliminate synthetic chemicals.

Beets: Cooked or raw borscht soup is very cleansing and nourishing.  Beets contain a unique mixture of natural plant compounds that make them superb blood purifiers and liver cleansers.

Blueberries: Truly one of the most powerful healing foods, blueberries contain natural substances that help clear inflammation in the body, lessening pain. Blueberries also act as antibiotics by blocking bacteria in the urinary tract, and can help to prevent infections. They also have antiviral properties and help to block toxins from crossing the blood-brain barrier to gain access to the brain.

Cabbage: Cabbage contains numerous antioxidant compounds that help the liver. Cabbage also cleanses the digestive tract and neutralizes some of the damaging compounds found in cigarette smoke (and second-hand smoke). It also strengthens the liver’s ability to detoxify.

Celery and Celery Seeds: Celery and celery seeds are excellent blood cleansers and contain many different cleansing and healing compounds that help detoxify unhealthy cells from the body. Celery seeds contain over twenty substances that help to clear inflammation from the body… they are particularly good for detoxifying substances found in cigarette smoke.

Cranberries: Cleanse your body from harmful micro-organisms that may be lingering in your urinary tract with cranberries. Cranberries  contain substances that clear harmful microbes.

Flaxseeds and Flaxseed Oil: Flax is loaded with essential fatty acids, particularly the Omega-3s, flaxseeds and flaxseed oil are essential for many cleansing functions throughout the body.

Garlic: Eat garlic to cleanse harmful bacteria from the body, and intestinal parasites from the blood and intestines. Raw garlic has a lot of antioxidant activity. It has many properties that help detoxify the body of harmful substances. Additionally, garlic assists with cleansing the respiratory tract by expelling mucous build-up in the lungs and sinuses. For the health benefits, choose only fresh garlic, not garlic powder, which has virtually none of the above properties.

Grapefruit: Add a ruby red grapefruit to your breakfast to benefit from pectin fiber that binds to cholesterol, thereby cleansing the blood. Pectin also binds to heavy metals and helps escort them out of the body. It also has compounds that cleanse harmful microbes out of the body. Grapefruit is an excellent intestinal and liver detoxifier. Also, grapeftuit therapeutic grade essential oil can be used in water or added to other foods and helps to breakdown excess and unhealthy fat in the body.

Kale: Steam or chop raw kale and add to other vegies in a salad and benefit from its powerful antioxidant compounds that help cleanse the body of harmful substances. It is also high in fiber, which helps cleanse the intestinal tract. Like cabbage, kale helps neutralize compounds found in cigarette smoke and strengthens liver cleansing.

Legumes: Add a handful of sprouted or cooked beans to your next meal since they are loaded with fiber that helps lower cholesterol, cleanses the intestines, and regulates blood sugar levels. Legumes also help protect cells to maintain healthy activity.

Lemons: Excellent liver detoxifier, lemons contain high amounts of vitamin C, a vitamin needed by the body to make an important substance called glutathione. Glutathione helps the liver detoxify harmful chemicals. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice (not the bottled variety) to pure water to support your cleansing efforts on a daily basis, or add a couple of drops of therapeutic grade lemon essential oil. The lemon oil contains Limonene which greatly supports the immune system.

Seaweed: Seaweed could be the most underrated vegetable of all. Studies at McGill University in Montreal showed that seaweeds bind to radioactive waste in the body. Seaweeds also bind to heavy metals to help eliminate them from the body. In addition, they are powerhouses of minerals and trace minerals.

Watercress: If you haven’t tried watercress add this delicious green to your next salad, since it increases detoxification enzymes. In a study at the Norwich Food Research Centre in the United Kingdom, smokers who were given 170 grams of watercress per day eliminated higher than average amounts of toxic substances in their urine, thereby eliminating them from their body.

Eating a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables assists with detoxifying harmful substances from your body. It also helps the cells to maintain normal and healthy cellular activity. Who knew cleansing could taste so good?
