- Ever wonder what exactly are essential oils?
Essential oils are the equivalent of the plant's blood. Like our blood, the oils carry a multitude of nutrients through the body of the plant to provide nourishment to all the plant's parts. These nutrients, like all substances, have a frequency. In fact, like everything that is alive, there is an energetic frequency. Like striking a gong and hearing the resonance of the sound go on and on and on, all living things have a resonance and a frequency at which they vibrate. So, the oils also have resonance and frequency. And, depending upon which nutrients are significant, an oil will have a frequency or vibration consistent with that nutrient. When we apply those oils to our body, or ingest them when safe to do so, we take in that nourishment and is assists us in raising our frequency to the level of the oil's.
- How does using essential oils create wellness?
Well, as I previously described, when we take in the life blood of the plant with all its rich nutrients, we absorb those properties to raise our level of health by increasing (or reducing in the case of an overactive situation) our vibration. Not unlike all other practices that we may do to achieve greater states of health, yoga helps us to move the body with specific exercises and breathing techniques that flush out toxic energy and leave more healthy, pure states of resonance, meditation assists us in nurturing the soil of our mind so that the health thoughts which we have planted may take root, sound healing literally resonates the cells of our body so that they begin to vibrate in harmony, all of these methods and more act on a fundamental level to bring us to greater states of health. When health is good, our vibration is said to be pure. We become like a fine-tuned instrument. And we are!
- What if I just like the way they smell?
That is great! There are plenty of reasons that enjoying the scent is healthy. For one thing, our sense receptors through the olfactory system send chemical messages directly to the brain. It's like sending an email to your brain when you wear a scent that you like and that also has healthy properties as a bonus. And if you find you need the properties of a particular oil, but you can't tolerate the scent, just apply it to the bottoms of your feet. The absorption rate is quick (3 minutes) and you won't have to smell it in order to receive the benefits. Sometimes, as we begin to purify the condition around which that oil is needed, we begin to have a better tolerance for that scent. So applying to the feet is a great step to ultimate de-toxification.
As a secondary intention, don't underestimate the power of how you smell and its affect on those around you. You may find that when you start wearing the oils people approach you and ask "what is that you are wearing?" It happens to me all the time. The oils have such a potent and rich quality that no perfume can even come close. Don't be surprised to find people hanging around you just to get a whiff!
- There are so many oils around, how do I know what I'm buying?
It's not always easy to tell the quality of the oils you are purchasing if you do not know the producer of those oils and how strict they are in sticking to good farming and distilling practices. There are many good brands of oils available, but keep in mind that if your oil producer is not choosy about where they procure their constituent parts, you may end up with oils made from plants grown just down the road from a garbage dump or a polluted body of water. The idea of organic farming becomes very appealing when you think about using oils. Whatever is in the soil, will ultimately be in your oil. So this is not something to take lightly. I have sampled many oils in my ongoing search for the most pure, the best smelling, the most cost effective. For the past 13 years or so I've been a distributor for Young Living Essential Oils. Time and time again, I return to these oils because, though they are sometime costlier than other oils, they are consistently potent and they give me results. Whether it's applying Lavender to a mosquito bite and having it disappear or applying their digestive blend (Di-Gize) to my belly and feeling relief from a nauseous tummy, I am consistently pleased with their scents, their availability, their longevity and the response I receive from those around me who have to smell me!
