There are always stressful days but lately it seems like we are living in crazy times. The stress level seems to be cranked up. Too many demands on our physical, mental and emotional selves can drain our energy. Essential oils can be a big help during crazy stress filled days.
Stress Away Essential Oil
Stress Away is one of Young Living’s Essential Oils that I am using a LOT these days.

With all the stress we face every day we can easily find ourselves feeling bad and reaching for a snack. Do you ever find yourself falling into a habit of emotional eating to deal with the stress?
I learned something interesting a while back that helped make a connection in my brain. Stress raises cortisol levels. We knew that but here’s the thing I didn’t realize: When your cortisol level is high, you start craving carbs.

Here’s another interesting thing . . .

Did you know that eating sugar and starchy carbs raise your cortisol levels even higher?

So as cortisol goes up, it increases carb cravings, and after indulging in starchy or sugary carbs, guess what else follows suit with it? You start feeling emotionally crappy because you indulged. This contributes to the vicious cycle of emotional eating. Stress Away is especially useful to help with stress related eating. Another reason to use Stress Away during stressful times.

Add Stress Away to EFT for even more power to your Tapping sessions. Stress Away is an AWESOME oil to use along with EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)

Tap While You Gripe is one of my favorite ways to use EFT. It is a super simple technique. Just tap and tell the story. Focus on the negative feelings and tap and talk it through.

Example: While tapping through the points, say whatever you are feeling: “I am so stressed. This Covid thing is so scary! So many strange things going on in the world. It’s affecting the economy and income. Are we going to be able to stay healthy? Stuck at home. Wearing masks. So stressed. I just want to watch movies and eat CARBS! That’s making more stress!! So angry! So stressed! …”

Tap through the points and pour out your feelings. Keep going until you feel better. Once you have released enough of the negative feelings, switch to positive. End with some thoughts on strength and confidence or anything positive you want to feel.

Don’t get too worried about the exact wording you use or what order of points to tap. You don’t even really need to say the words out loud. Just focus on the negative emotion you want to clear. Keep talking (or thinking) and tapping.

EFT Points:
KC = Karate Chop
EB = Beginning of the Eye Brow
SE = Side of the Eye
UE = Under the Eye
UN = Under the Nose
Ch = Chin
CB = Beginning of the Collar Bone
UA = Under the Arm
WR = Inside of Wrists
TH = Top of Head

You can also tap the fingertip points. Each finger can be tapped at the base of the nail.

Abundance Oil and EFTAbundance oil blend is my favorite oil of all Young Living’s oils. Abundance Oil blend is the reason I am a distributor with Young Living Essential Oils. It is a very uplifting oil that smells wonderful, but Abundance oil blend also attracts abundance. I have seen it over and over in my life and especially in my business.

Abundance Oil is one that we really need, especially in the stressful times we are living and the economy worries many people are feeling.

If you are familiar with the Law of Attraction, you know that what you focus on you attract more of. When you worry and stress over the economy, you hinder the abundant energy you have in your body. That makes it almost impossible to build a business or attract any kind of abundance.

I have seen the Law of Attraction working from both sides. Years ago, I went through a time where I was desperate to generate enough income to just make ends meet. I was in a sales job with a home cleaning system where I had to visit people’s home to demonstrate the cleaner and only got paid when I sold one. It seemed as though I couldn’t sell one if my life depended on it. Actually, my financial life did depend on it.

The owner of the company came with me on some presentations to see what I was doing wrong. When we were leaving a home presentation, she said, “I don’t understand why you aren’t selling anything, you are really good!”

I didn’t understand the Law of Attraction back than but I do today. The reason I couldn’t make any sales is because I had an energy vibration of desperation. I desperately needed a sale.

I was radiating that desperate energy. People could feel it. I didn’t realize I was affecting people with my desperate energy.

Here is another example – Around that same time my husband and I were traveling and doing art shows for our jewelry designs. Mark, my husband, made flameworked glass beads and I did copper enamel designs. We put them together with gemstones and made beautiful works of wearable art.

We won several best of show awards with our designs and even drew crowds with Mark demonstrating glass bead making over a flame, but making enough money to create a living was a real struggle. We would often just cover show expenses.

Oh how I wish I had known about Abundance oil back then! Well, today I am so very grateful for Abundance oil blend. It is, hands down, my favorite oil. I use it EVERY DAY. By using Abundance oil, I become like a magnet attracting abundance. I would never consider touching anything business related without using Abundance oil first.

Abundance is a blend that raises your energetic vibration to attract greater prosperity into your life. It is an oil blend that is "created to enhance the frequency of the harmonic magnetic energy field that surrounds us. This higher frequency creates the "law of attraction," a harmonic magnetic energy field around oneself.

How To Use Abundance Oil Blend

Use Abundance Oil blend first thing in the morning to get a good energy for the day, then use it whenever you feel the need for an abundant lift. Put 2 or 3 drops in your hands and rub together. Inhale deeply.

Use Abundance Oil before doing anything business related.

Add a few drops of Abundance Oil to cleaning water, especially when cleaning your office.

Diffuse it in your home office.

Put Abundance Oil on before paying bills.

Use Abundance Oil With EFT.

Abundance oil is wonderful used with EFT. An example of an EFT session below on worries about the economy. You could also use Peace & Calming for the first part of the tapping script while you focus on negative emotions, then shift to Abundance Oil and focus on more positive abundance attracting energy.

Add a couple drops of Essential Oil to your fingertips before you begin tapping.

Even though I am afraid because of the economy, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
Even though the news is full of depressing things about the economy and people losing their jobs, I choose to accept myself and release my fears.
Even though I am worried about how will we will pay all our bills during this worrisome time, I choose to accept myself and release my fears.

This economy is so scary.
I am afraid there isn’t enough income these days of quarantine.
The news is full of scary things.
So stressful.
I have bills to pay and obligations to meet.
I am feeling all this stress.
Stress and worry.
What if this gets worse?
I can’t help but to worry about the future.
I’m a little afraid there is no hope.
Feeling stress and fear.
OK, I know these negative thoughts only feed the fear.
I choose to shift to a better energy.
Negative thoughts and feelings block abundance.
I am choosing a better energy.
I am releasing the fear about the economy.
We have been through bad economy before.
Releasing negative emotions about the economy.
Releasing the fear that there is not enough money.
Release and let go of fears about income.
Releasing fears about the economy.
Letting go of the fear that there will never be enough.
I am releasing the fear that I won’t be able to pay my bills.
Letting go of the stress.
I am releasing all my fears about the economy.

I choose to feel calm and safe.
I feel confident in my ability to attract the income I need.
I choose to feel excited about the opportunity that this economy is creating.
This is a great time to work on my Side Hustle with my Young Living Business.

I am confident there are plenty of people who want to supplement their income.
Some of those would love to join me.
We can do this together.
I choose to feel comfortable and full of expectation in any economy.
No matter what is happening around me,
I choose to be calm and in peace.
I am strong.
I am confident.
I am peaceful.
I am attracting abundance, no matter what the economy is like.

Take a deep breath.

Sacred Frankincense vs. Frankincense, do you know the difference?

Young Living offers both Frankincense and Sacred Frankincense essential oils. These oils have similar properties and can be easy to confuse. Both essential oils come from the frankincense tree, but are found in different species. You may know that there are many different types of eucalyptus, for example, Eucalyptus Radiata, Eucalyptus Blue, and Eucalyptus Globulus are all different species of Eucalyptus essential oils that Young Living offers. Boswellia Carterii (Frankincense) and Boswellia Sacra (Sacred Frankincense) are different types of Frankincense essential oil Young Living offers!
Here’s how you can tell these two oils apart!


Frankincense:
– Comes from the Boswellia carterii tree
– Produced primarily in Somalia, along with more than 80 percent of the world’s production
– Used more commonly to support healthy-looking skin
– Contains the powerful component Insensol


Sacred Frankincense:
– Comes from the Boswellia sacra tree
– Produced in Oman and grows in challenging climates
– Contains about 20% more alpha-pinene which contributes to its distinctive fragrance

With all the stress we face every day we can easily find ourselves feeling bad and reaching for a snack. Do you ever find yourself falling into a habit of emotional eating to deal with the stress?

I learned something interesting a while back that helped make a connection in my brain. There was a segment on a morning show on how your personality could contribute to weight gain. They mentioned how stress raises cortisol levels. We knew that but here’s the thing I didn’t realize: When your cortisol level is high, you start craving carbs.


Here’s another interesting thing . . .


Stress Away Reduce Emotional Eating


Did you know that eating sugar and starchy carbs raise your cortisol levels even higher?

So as cortisol goes up, it increases carb cravings, and after indulging in starchy or sugary carbs, guess what else follows suit with it? You start feeling emotionally crappy because you indulged. This contributes to the vicious cycle of emotional eating.


When I heard this information I was so happy I always keep some of Young Living’s Stress Away Roll-On handy. Stress Away is especially useful to help with stress related eating. I have been using Stress Away in the afternoons and evenings ever since I learned about that. I have noticed that, when I use Stress Away I have a much easier time resisting the urge to have a snack. Hearing that bit about cortisol levels really reinforced my intent to keep using Stress Away.


I’m enjoying a cup of Slique tea and rolling on a bit of Young Living’s Stress Away as I write this blog post. It has been a strangely stress filled day today and I am thankful for these products from Young Living. Have you tried Slique Tea? Oh MY!! I love the taste. It’s yummy!

Carrier oils are used to dilute essential oils prior to application. They carry the essential oils further into the tissue or help hold the essential oil topically. Carrier oils vary in thickness. Tired and overworked muscles respond best when the essential oils penetrate deep into the tissue. For this application, choose a lighter viscosity carrier oil.

If applying to someone with sensitive skin, use a medium viscosity carrier oil to slow down the rate of absorption.

Fast Absorption
Safflower
Hazelnut
Grapeseed
Apricot Kernel
Canola
Camellia Seed
Rose Hip

Average Absorption
Jojoba
Coconut
Argan
Olive
V6
Sunflower
Hemp Seed

Flax Seed
Evening Primrose
Oat
Macadamia Nut
Sweet Almond

Carrier oils from Light Viscosity to Barrier:

Fractionated Coconut Oil
Sweet Almond Oil
Young Living V-6 Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex

The really thick oils can be used as a barrier.

When using carrier oils in making your own skin care recipe, you will want to consider the comedogenic rating of the different carrier oils. Choosing carrier oils with lower comedogenic rating will reduce the likelihood of clogged pores.

Comedogenic Ratings

0 – Won’t clog pores
1 – Very low likelihood of clogging pores
2 – Moderately low
3 – Moderate
4 – Fairly high

Five Easy Steps to Blending Essential Oils

Decide on the purpose or reason that you’re creating the blend.
Choose the application method – bath, diffusion, compress, massage etc.
If necessary get the supplies you need (like V-6 Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex or diffuser etc.)

Select 3 – 5 essential oils that will work together to accomplish your purpose.

Choose the dosage or concentration level of the oils you need – for the method you want.

Carrier Volume 1% EO 2% EO 4% EO
1/2 Ounce (1 TBS) 3 Drops 6 Drops 12 Drops
1 Ounce (2 TBS) 6 Drops 12 Drops 24 Drops

1% is great for kids and the elderly
2% is great for all over body lotion type application
4% is great for concentrated area of massage

Add the oils to your carrier oil or lotion or to your bath (usually 8 – 10 drops) or whatever method you chose – and enjoy!

Other things to remember:

• Only add 1 oil to a “ready made blend”.
• Use only 3 – 5 oils to make your own blend.
• Blend just one drop at a time. One drop can make a big difference.
• Write down what you do – so you avoid making mistakes twice and also so that you can recreate what you like.
• Blend in small quantities so that you don’t have a big batch of something you hate. Once your blend is perfected
you may go ahead and make larger quantities.
• Mix your oils in a glass container.
• Have FUN! Let imagination and your nose guide you.
