2000, The Essential 7 Kit
Hello
Everyone!
Many
of you have expressed an interest in learning more and more about
how to use Essential Oils in every day use. I am very excited
to share with you ways in which to do so.
This
issue will focus on the “Essential 7” Kit. It contains
3 single oils: Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, and 4 blends: Joy,
PanAway, Peace & Calming, and Purification.
This
is a great starter kit for anyone interested in Essential Oils
and Young Living products. Personally, I feel you get a lot of
“bang for your buck” and it’s a great way to
sample a variety of oils.
Lavender
is considered the “Swiss Army Knife” of all the oils,
being the most versatile oil. Great for burns, sunburn, skin irritations-
ideal for skin care, rashes, cuts, bruises, allergies, headaches,
herpes, and muscles soreness. Considered antitumoral, antiseptic,
anti-inflammatory, calming to the Central Nervous System-can be
used for depression. As you can see, the list seems endless. When
in doubt, use Lavender.
My
daily Lavender ritual: After showering, I apply 1 drop to hands,
rub together and pat on face; 2 drops to hands, rub together and
pat on breasts (antitumoral). Can be used as a deodorant. Need
a lift? Apply 1 drops to hands, rub together, cup and breathe
deeply for 1 minute. Will lift your spirits and clear your sinuses
too!
Lemon
has antiseptic, disinfectant, antibacterial, antiviral-like properties.
Great for digestive problems, sore throats, herpes, warts, shingles,
improves memory, microcirculation, lymphatic and immune function.
Add a drop or two in your glass/bottle of water and drink. Diffuse
or add 10-12 drops to a spray bottle. Great for cleaning and wiping
up, refreshes the air too!
Peppermint
supports digestion, expels worms, pain-relieving, anti-infectious,
anti-fungal, antibacterial. Can heighten or restore sense of taste,
improves memory and concentration, reduces fevers, headaches,
respiratory infections, stimulates the gallbladder. Mix in a spray
bottle with Lavender and water, or mix both in unscented massage
oil creating a muscle liniment, heavenly! Try licking a fraction
of a drop of Peppermint. WoW, what an incredible breath refresher.
Joy
is an exotic blend, uplifting, bringing joy to the heart, inspiring
romance, helps with overcoming grief, depression and despair.
Place on heart chakra, behind ears, wrists.
PanAway
helps relieve pain and inflammation, increases circulation. Beneficial
for muscle, bone and joint discomfort. Good for general aches
and pains.
Peace
& Calming is specifically designed for diffusing.
Promotes relaxation. Massage on bottom of feet and shoulders to
promote a good night’s sleep.
Purification
is an antiseptic blend for diffusing to purify, cleanse the air,
neutralize mildew, cigarette smoke & unpleasant odors. Add
a few drops to your washing machine, or add 10 drops to a spray
bottle and use for cleaning. Neutralizes the poison of insect
bites.
Feel
free to email me to share your personal experiences and favorite
uses with the oils. Pass a copy on to your friends, downline,
or anyone interested in the oils. Please let me know if you do
not wish to receive future newsletters.
Brightest
Blessings!

Hello
everyone!
It’s
cold and flu season time so I thought discussing the “Golden
Touch 1” kit would be appropriate. This kit contains 7 essential
oil blends that can benefit respiratory, digestive and endocrine
function. With the holiday season right around the corner where
we have a tendency to “indulge”, and “stress”
levels seem to rise, our body becomes very taxed. Here’s
a great kit to help us through the season!
Endoflex is an oil blend that can help with thyroid,
endocrine and hormonal balance improving metabolism. Apply on
chest, abdomen, wrists, throat, lower back, base of big toe (thyroid
point).
Di-Tone
assists in digestive irregularities and disturbances, excess gas
and bloating. Has been found to rid animals of parasites by applying
to their feet. Massage 1-2 drops behind the ear for morning sickness.
Apply to bottom of feet, abdomen, add 1-2 drops to a glass of
water, or place 1 drop on tongue.
Melrose
includes 2 melaleucas that are renowned for their antiseptic properties.
Used for burns, cuts, scrapes, rashes, bruised tissue. Very beneficial
for animals. Has antibacterial, antifungal and anti-infectious
qualities. Diffuse or create spray bottle to dispel unpleasant
odors, apply topically to skin, place 1-2 drops on a cotton ball
and place in ear for earaches.
Thieves
is one of my favorites, a must for the cold/flu season. Highly
antiviral, antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-infectious. Was found
to have a 99.96 % kill rate against airborne bacteria. Apply to
chest, bottom of feet, throat, diffuse in home/work environment.
Mix with a carrier oil before applying to chest/throat if skin
is sensitive.
Raven
is a soothing blend to support the respiratory system, lungs,
and bronchial tubes. It contains an oil called “Ravensara”,
from Madagascar. May help alleviate symptoms of asthma, bronchitis,
pneumonia, sinusitis. Apply to chest, throat, feet, place a drop
on pillow at night.
Juvaflex
is designed to help support the liver and lymphatic cleansing
and detoxification. Anger and hate are stored in the liver. Juvaflex
supports breaking addictions. Apply to wrists, over liver or Vitaflex
points on the feet.
RC
gives relief to respiratory congestion, colds, sore throats. Apply
to feet/toes, chest, neck, add to humidifier, diffuse home, make
a spray bottle. Contains 4 different eucalyptus oils including
myrtle, pine, spruce, marjoram, lavender, cypress and peppermint.
Last
but not least, ImmuPower, an oil blend that is
not in this kit, but I wouldn’t be without. A powerful blend
that helps support and strengthen the immune system. Contains
frankincense, cistus,
oregano, Idaho tansy, black cumin, clove, hyssop, ravensara, mountain
savory. Massage to bottom of feet, chest, 4 drops along spine.
Place 1-2 drops on cotton ball and place in ear for earaches.
Happy
Holidays!

eye contact with the oils. In case of accidental eye contact,
put 1-2 drops of any pure vegetable oil in the eye, call your
Doctor if necessary. Never use water, and never drop oil directly
into ear canal.
If
skin is sensitive, add any pure carrier oil to the essential oils
or to the skin (apricot, almond, grapeseed, vegetable oil).
Next
month: What would you like me to discuss? How the oils are used
for emotional releasing? Call/email me with your suggestions,
personal experiences and favorite uses with the oils.

a joyous holiday season!

Living
With Passion by Donna Lefferdo

Living With Passion, by Peter L. Hirsch
I've
always admired people who live their life with passion. To me,
passion seems to be the catalyst for a fulfilling and purposeful
life. I've always thought of myself as passionate. But I wasn't
sure how to go about putting it all together so that I could feel
empowered, make life changes, and co-create the life I desired.
A
few of years ago, I came across a wonderful little book, "Living
With Passion", by Peter L. Hirsch. It helped create a paradigm
shift allowing me to see things differently. This started the
many wonderful changes in my life. I was headed in a new direction.
After 24 years of Nursing, I changed careers and started a home-based
business. Having control of my schedule was important to me. I
wanted more time for myself and my family. I also wanted to do
something I loved and could make a living at.
It
didn’t happen over night, it took time to evolve but I was
“willing to do what it takes”. Like a mantra, I kept
repeating, “Think of moving through these changes like a
pack horse, not a race horse. It’s a marathon, not a sprint”.
I took a giant leap of faith, started trusting in the process,
stayed focused, and let the Divine Plan unfold.
By creating a vacuum in my life, my dreams were birthed. Getting
out of my own way allowed Spirit to work through me because “Spirit
knows its business”.
It
has been 8 years since I resigned from Nursing. I have a successful
private practice in massage and the healing arts, a home-based
business, traveling both for work and pleasure, and a new home
that I love. I was published for the first time in the Essential
Edge Magazine this year, and created my first Newsletter. I have
met the most incredible people and friends networking, and every
day is a new growth experience. I hope the following information
will be food for thought for those that want to make certain life
changes.

Peter
L. Hirsch talks about the 10 Simple Secrets That Guarantee
Your Success:
#1
Success Secret: Challenge! He said that challenge is
the catalyst for success. The word literally means false accusations,
it's made up. We make up challenges to serve our needs, desires,
and purpose. Hirsch said he used to avoid challenges. Now, he
seeks them out, because he’s caught on to their power to
empower. He sees himself as a challenge nut calling himself “a
challengeaholic”.
#2
Success Secret: Belief! The more certain you feel about
something, the stronger your belief. If you introduce doubt, you
can weaken or kill a belief. Beliefs are not absolute truths,
but we operate as if they were. However, we can change our beliefs
whenever we so choose because we are in control of our beliefs.
Beliefs are your Destiny! They shape your actions which create
your results that stretch out over a lifetime. My friend Carl
Janicek once said: “There are 3 types of people: Those that
make things happen, those that watch things happen, and those
that wonder how things happen.” Which one are you?
Napoleon
Hill who wrote Think and Grow Rich describes a principle called,
The MasterMind Group. It’s the "coordination of knowledge
and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people,
for the attainment of a definite purpose.”
It's
vital you find a group of peers-between 4 and 6, including yourself,
with whom you can discuss all of your challenges and together
seek solutions to your problems. You will find that 5 minds together
have the total sum of much more than those five minds. They are
the equivalent of one Super-Mind. (continued on page 3)
