Beautiful Essential Oils and Their Healing Benefits

I found this wonderful essential oils product line called Young Living Essential Oils that I really want to share. There are many things you can do with essential oils including making your own bath salts and blends. Essential oils are healing, and each type of oil has a specific healing quality. For instance, did you know Lavender essential oil, one of the most versatile of all, is not only used for its calming aroma therapy, but also to soothe and cleanse cuts, bruises, and skin irritations, among many other benefits? Usually when someone thinks of essential oils lavender is at the top of the list, however, there are many other oils to choose from as well. For example, Cinnamon Bark, Clove, Lemon, Peppermint, Frankincense, and Eucalyptus, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Why choose a specific brand of essential oils over another? Well, for starters, the reason I have chosen Young Living Essential Oils is because of its therapeutic grade quality, and the fact that the company itself has been around for many years. There is also the fact that some of the brands of oils and perfumes out there are not all that great quality and can actually be toxic to you and your home environment. Young Living also has an expansive variety of oils to choose from, including some very special blends such as Peace & Calming, Valor, Thieves, Purification, and Panaway. All have awesome healing benefits. I have personally been using all these blends along with Lemon, Lavender, Peppermint, and Frankincense. You can take a look at  all the different oils yourself and also learn a little history about Young Living by clicking here: Young Living Essential Oils.  When you get to the home page, click on the Product Line link and also check out the About Young Living link. When you find an oil you're interested in, click on it and you will find a list of it's different uses. I'm sure you'll find this information interesting.

Healing with Baby Steps

The past couple of months have been all about healing and gaining my strength back physically, but also, emotionally and mentally. I started working out by just doing what I could. I felt that if I exercised even ten minutes a day and did modified poses to start, it would help me have more confidence. It worked, I've been going steady and I'm feeling better and stronger everyday. I kept a record on my calender, which I can look back on and see how far I've come. I worked my way up from modified poses and not even being able to do a push-up, to doing a full routine and many push-ups. I still have a ways to go, but I'm happy to say, I'm getting there. The exercises I'm doing are mostly from the Slim in 6 program with Debbie Siebers, Start it up and Ramp it up. I also have thrown in some yoga and Qigong along the way. I have P90 with Tony Horton as well and have done those workouts a couple of times, albeit painfully. I haven't just been physically working out though, I've also been working out my brain. I'm learning French, using Rosetta Stone Language Learning Software. I absolutely love this program, it's fun and very user friendly. My son is using the program also. We are both really enjoying learning a new language. I'm attempting to learn guitar too, although I haven't been all that consistent with it. My guitar was given to me for Christmas and I'm only on the first book, so basically I'm learning to play baby songs. Baby steps right? I think it's going to be quite a while before I'm speaking French fluently, playing guitar like a rock-star, and doing cart-wheels. That's okay though because I'm loving the whole healing while learning process, and the journey is what counts right. Panic attacks are far and few between now as I'm focusing on positive ways to improve my life, rather than allowing irrational fears to pull me down.
