peace into your life.

It is very interesting to observe what essential oils are
doing for human beings right now at this time in history on
this planet. As many of you know, John and I have a
traditional Anniversary Sale every June, and Christmas/Holiday
Sale every November. This means I speak or email with hundreds
of you twice a year, and I personally call as many as I can.
What an aromathic telethon this is!
What I hear the most is how we've all dealt with many
stressful times in our lives, and managed to hold onto the
balance as we went through it. However, right now many feel
pushed over the edge with insecure feelings of the unknown,
the losses already endured, and the path we're on with no road
map as to what we might expect as we get over this next
mountain. This means the way we think about things is
changing, and this needs to happen to continue the climb and
chart our course.
Many people are telling me the essential oils are a major
help with the stress. They may not purchase as many as they
would like, but they're not willing to give up their most
comforting essential oil, mist, blend or gel.
My sense is that essential oils are really coming into
their own, in terms of what they are here to do. Since the
beginning of time they have served human beings in (1)
protecting our health (physical and nonphysical), (2)
assisting us through transitions of ALL kinds, and (3)
celebrating the joys of life with us. So if we ever needed
them to "protect" our mental, emotional and physical health,
and assist us through transitions... it is NOW.
I always felt I was ahead of my time when I started working
with essential oils in the late 1980's...and John and I didn't
know what this year had in store for us in terms of the
economics of our little company. To be up 25% from last year,
hear from people we've not heard from in many years, and hear
stories of relief and gratitude ... is a heartfelt reward
beyond words. I always say: "Aroma is the silent language of
the soul." So be it ... and thank you for being here. Anchor
deep as you walk your path, one sacred step at a time, and be
a light in the world to yourself and others. We can all do
this together.

What are some others things you can do for your aromatic
sanctuary?
(1) Put Knowsy the Lavender Moose in
your spot and put a drop of Lavender or your favorite pure
essentil oil on his nose. He is so healing to touch and hold.
Stuffed animals bring joy to all ages. We sell more Knowsys to
adults than to children.
(2) Put a few drops of our Precious Christmas Oil in
a room diffuser or in a warm pot of water to infuse the aromas
of Pine, Orange, Cinnamon and Clove in your spot.
(3) If you spend a lot of time in your car, make an
aromatic car sanctuary for youself. Keep a soothing
mist with you and mist often. Put a cotton ball with your
favorite pure essential oil on it in a special spot. Don't put
the pure essential oil on the dashboard. It can take the
enamel or finish right off a surface.
(4) Lavender Mist your pillow at night to wash away
the day and bring on the sweet sleep of night.

Create Your
Aromatic Sanctuary |

There are lots of things we cannot control in life, and
they can overwhelm us if we let them. We can control what pair
of glasses we put on to see the events, how we decide we will
think and feel about it all, and we can create a sanctuary of
aromas for retreat and comfort. It's like getting back to the
well for a drink of water. Sometimes we feel like we have to
drag ourself across the desert to get there. So let's see what
we can do about creating this "spot" and keeping a little bit
of it with us wherever we go.
Choose to enjoy your holidays by staying mentally and
physically healthy. One of the elements that can help with
this is the precious gift and medicine of old of essential
oils. While they are protecting your health, and assisting you
through transitions, let them help you enjoy and celebrate
this season as it was always meant to be.
This can be as simple as setting up a room diffuser
with your favorite essential oil and a bottle of your
favorite mist on the table or desk to get a "breath of
fresh air" anytime. Keep some bottles of your favorite pure
essential oils right here too. Select the one that is
right for that moment. Close your eyes, take 5-7 deep breaths
and sit quietly as your reflect and affirm the strength and
love that is deep within you.
The act of setting up a "special aromatic spot" is a
stress-reducing act by itself. Do it consciously. Select a
place or part of a table that is meaningful to you. Maybe this
is by a window with a nature view. Put down a cloth and select
some special trays or dishes that you love to look at and
touch. Put a little dish of cotton balls here, so you can add
a few drops of pure oil to one and carry it with you (close to
you heart and lungs is good). You can also make a personal
cotton ball diffuser for someone else to "make their day".
Add some other things to this "area" that make you feel
good just to look at it. Flowers, stones, candles, a favorite
book are just a few ideas. I feel good just thinking about
this.
Essential oils are timeless and cross-cultural. One of
their best qualities is their natural ability to soothe our
emotional state. Find "your aroma" and your life will change.
Diffusers are a wonderful way to create a sacred space in
your home and office with the energy of essential oils. They
help us stay healthy and deal with the memories and emotions
of the holidays. Diffusers allow us to be wrapped in the
gentle comfort of lovely aromas. Choose your favorite ones.
Be gentle with yourself ... life is precious.
Our Spa Scenter Room Diffuser (my first choice for
diffusers after many years and many diffusers) is our featured
item in the December Special of our Baker's Dozen Holiday
Gifts. Many of these items can help you create your aromatic
sanctuary! See "This Month's Spotlight".
