Growing Positive Thoughts in this Economy

There is a belief out there that that goes something like “Thought precedes energy precedes manifestation.” Or in other words, when you have a thought, a little bundle of energy is created and it is this packet of energy that becomes the basis for the ability to manifest the original thought. Every thought we have…

Balancing Ions

We are now moving into spring, the energies are rising and the desire to get back outside is palpable. As soon as the sun begins to warm and buds begin to poke out, we all just want to shed the winter layers and feel the sun on our skin. The lengthening rays of evening light…

Aromatherapy at Tax Time

The old quip by Benjamin Franklin: “Certainty? In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes” definitely applies at this time of year. Yes, it’s the run up to April and that means taxes are coming due. We all deal with taxes differently, but for a vast majority of people, taxes equate to stress.…

Sharing a Loving Frequency

In a past article, we explored the idea of finding and giving oneself love and self-care; with the notion that it is only through loving oneself that others can love you; and that others reflect the love back to you that you give yourself. I also put forward that like attracts like and if you…

Aromatherapy for the Golden Years

The senior years have always been considered “the golden years”, but let’s face it, it’s no fun getting old. From about the mid-fifties onward the body seems to start breaking down.

Aromatherapy for Menopausal Women

There are many jokes flying around about menopause and how it affects women and unless you have actually experienced the physical and emotional changes that occur during this time, you wouldn’t understand the punch lines. This is a very profound time for women; their bodies begin to alter, their emotions become erratic, their memories can…

Aromatherapy for Ladies Only

In keeping with the categories of the last few months, I thought it would be fun to compile a list of women’s challenges in life and the essential oils that can help them through their struggles. I know some of these ailments have been covered in the past months, but I thought it would be…
