Essential oils have been a part of my life for over a decade. Back in 2012, a friend of mine sent me a bag full of oils and I literally had to do an internet search to figure out what to do with them. Now I have become a certified Aromatherapist so I can share the benefits of these oils. with others. Essential oils are very concentrated plant extracts. They contain the vital force of the plant and chemical constituents that we can use for healing. What most people don't realize is that essential oils, once absorbed, go straight to the limbic system, which is considered to be the center of emotional response. So, along with enjoying the glorious scents of these oils, they can improve the state of your emotions and nervous system. They can also set the energy and ambiance of any space. Especially during this time when we are confined to our homes. For instance, you can diffuse a blend of lavender, orange, and frankincense for the perfect stress relief blend. Lavender relieves both physical and emotional stress, orange is uplifting and promotes relaxation, and frankincense lifts the spirits and improves attitude. See the benefits?? Imagine how you can manage the atmosphere of, not only a gathering, but your household on a daily basis. There are several different ways to utilize essential oils. Here are some examples below:
Remember that not all essential oils are created equal. Some brands sell carrier oils with very little amounts of essential oils in them. Look for things like "fragrance" in the ingredients.

moment, for just a few minutes a day, can have amazing benefits for your overall well being. Personally, I have found that prayer is for asking, giving our supplications to God, and meditation is for receiving. Intentional silence gives the universe the opportunity to speak to you. Anytime I've needed clarity about a situation, even something as simple as what to name my blog, I received the answers expectantly through meditation. Here are a few more benefits below:

You can’t tell someone how to love you, you get to see how they love and choose whether or not to participate.- Iyanla Vanzant
because I'm not done, I'm still on this journey, but I'm further along than I've ever been. With that said...…..I have come up with a series of questions...…..for you to ask yourself. My prayer is that as you go through them, you can take an honest assessment of how you have been honoring yourself, and how/if others honor you.
can have similar effects on our bodies as well (which are anywhere from 50-75% water.) History has always acknowledged the effect the moon has on human beings. The word "lunatic," which is interpreted as madness or hysteria in multiple languages, literally translates to "moon sick." It comes from the Latin word "lunaticus," meaning epilepsy or madness, diseases that were thought to be caused by the moon. Some believe that the similarity between "month" and "moon" are no coincidence. On average, each moon phase occurs once a month. The repetitive growing and shrinking of the moon effects us all. This article will simply give some pointers on how to use this influence to your advantage. Tonight happens to be a super full moon, super meaning that it is very close to the earth and appears very large in the sky, so it is a very good time to start!
New Moon *The moon and sun are on the same side of the earth, so it appears completely dark in the sky. Its influence is low at this point. This is a time for new beginnings, fresh starts, detoxing, cleansing, setting intentions, less action, more planning. Eating very light is beneficial, plenty of fruits and vegetables. The body is easily able to release so it is an excellent time to burn fat with cardio exercise. Make good use of this time by spending time alone, meditating, praying. It is normal to feel a little withdrawn at this time, canceling plans, ignoring phone calls. Embrace this energy. Turing inward is how to make the most of it. First Quarter *This occurs about a week after the new moon. After the intention setting of the new moon, taking action can begin here. However, there may be challenges or obstacles. Stay organized and be prepared to make quick decisions. Full Moon *The Sun and Moon are on opposites sides of the Earth. As we are all aware, things can get a little weird during this time. Emotions tend to run high so be careful not to get overly emotional. However this is harvest time. Time to reap the benefits of the intentions set during the new moon. As the moon gets bigger so does the appetite, so protein and more hearty food is beneficial during this time. It's also favorable for anything to grow, so it is an excellent time for building muscle by weight lifting. Last Quarter *This is the opposite of the first quarter leading to the next new moon. It is a time for release, letting go, and forgiveness. Focus on releasing negative emotions and anything no longer serving you. Participate in any activities that can help you do this spa treatments, message, yoga etc. It's ideal to have a healthy state mentally, physically, and emotionally, in order to set intentions for the new moon.
