Thank all of you that have followed this blog!

hank you Mark Valentine for helping me get this blog up and running and all of you that have read it. I thought it would be fun sharing some of the amazing things that I have found written about essential oil and sharing this knowledge freely in the hopes that some of you may read and study and use these wonders in Aromatherapy as an alternative to other products out there.

My direct and personal experience with essential oils and Aromatherapy has been simply amazing. I have been able to find a means to stop horrible ear aches that bothered me all my life. I have seen my allergies subside and get better and back to normal. I have experienced a mental experience that has allowed me to quit drinking and smoking and I have totally changed my life style by changing my diet and exercise habits.

I will miss playing around this blog but I have a lot of other things to do in this life besides blogging so when everything expires on the domain name and the web hosting I will be gone…

Aromatherapy does work and anyone that tells you otherwise is a liar. It was largely derived from the trail and error method instead of the science method but that not mean that it does not work. Life is a trail and error experience too.

The only regret I have is I wish I would of be introduced to Aromatherapy while I was in my youth. I think my life would of turned out a whole lot more beautiful…

There are plenty of books written by excellent authors about Aromatherapy that can and will back up any claims about Aromatherapy.

Good bye and may all the blessings and love in this universe be there for you when you need them.

The possibilities for Aromatherapy

 Reposted on request….

Aromatherapy

_{Mankind has been using various degrees of Aromatherapy for thousands of years and it still works as good as it did when it was first used. I just saw a special on TV about two MD’s that are using Aromatherapy now! One runs a cancer clinic and one uses it in her MD practice.}

The second MD showed a school teacher that teaches ADHD students. When the school teacher told the class to study they did for a short amount of time then started getting restless and stopped studying. The teacher then put on some of the oils that the MD gave her and walked over to one of the students and didn’t say anything but let the student smell the oils on her. She said it a amazing, after a couple of minutes the student went back to studying and was clear and mentaly alert again.

_{It seems that all types of religions and different sects of people have used incenseand smells in religious ceremonies for thousands of years. The use of the sense of smell raises the mind to higher levels of mind and balances the mind and body so there is peace between them. The body and mind are in conflict a lot and even the different parts of the body are in conflict with each other parts of the body at times. The sense of smell can help you make a time when all the conflicts are held to rest allows the mind to focus on the soul and get more in tune with higher levels of thinking.}

_{Alway remember that using the right amount of anything you do is better then overdoing it.}

Pain, Massage Therapy and Aromatherapy uses

Working with others is where I have gained the most experience.

Almost all the people that come to me for massages are people that are feeling pain somewhere in their bodies and are doing something to ease that pain. I do chair massage in a health food store where people come find alternatives to a pill centered health system.

There are quit a few people in their eighties going in and out the store and I talk to them all the time. There is one common thread with these people. All the healthy people in their eighties are active and almost all of them exercise daily. They do good diets, exercise, get good rest and do body cleanses to keep their bodies free of toxins.

Well anyway when I am massaging people I feel what is going on in their necks, backs arms and hands while performing my massages. 

The amazing thing I have found out it is if I use essential oil based oils on them the massages go much better then not and they respond much better to the massages with essential oils.

Another amazing thing is that their bodies are telling them in body laungage and signals to the brain where the pain is coming from and the intensity of the pain. When I massage a knot between the shoulders I can feel that area relaxing and I also feel and sense a relief from the brain when the knot begins to break up.

The amazing part of this is the body sends messages to the brain and if the brain can do something about like rubbing it the body senses this and relaxes and stops sending the message. If the brain does not do anything the pain remains and can stay there for a long time is nothing is done. 

When the area gets massaged it increases the blood flow and gets the oxygen, food, new cells and detoxes the area all at the same time. The Circulatory system in our bodies does a lot for us. (I like Cayce saying about taking care of your self. Circulatory, assilimation, rest, and elimination)

If a person is experiencing pain the body is telling the brain that something is wrong. Very often it is a blockage of the circulatory system and the body is sending a message to the brain for help to clear out the blockage get the brain and other things flowing in the area. I have worked on people who have had blockages and knots and have suffered for weeks until enough pressure and movement has be applied for the normal circulation to return and all that pain goes away…

There are certain areas in all of us that are prone to bad circulation and hence pain. Massage, heat and cold can help you get the circulation going again and the pain will go away.

The babyboomers was and still are the greatest generation!

In Special Honor to the Babyboomers…

World War II ushered peace into a world that had seen millions killed and wounded by war and brought about the biggest baby boom in the history of mankind. Prosperity like never before was achieved in the following years unmatched by any period in time by mankind on the earth. It truly was a golden moment for mankind because all citizens were equal. We were born during these times.

We witnessed the first 9" television screen sets inside those 50 to 150 pound wooden boxes holding vacuum tubes and watched 3 channels of TV with our parents. As the screens grew larger and then in color we was awed by the space race unfolding between us and the Russians and then watching an American make the first step on the moon and hearing "One small step for man, One giant leap for mankind".

Transistor and stereo radios came on the scene and everyone was listening and singing to the new revolution of music that evolved quickly into rock and roll and everyone was feeling happy just being alive. We cruised main street in cars that would burn rubber and do a quarter mile at over one hundred miles an hour. We studied and learned about computers the size of whole floor of a university building at college. Disco became hip and we danced the nights away singing Elvis and the Bee Jees and all the other great bands and partying like there would be no end of the good old days. Looking back I still get a really nice feeling about everything from that era and how innocent we were.

Eventually we drifted apart, each of us on our own mission of the life. Some of us has already passed over out of this life into the unknown. Those of us remaining are now in middle age and heading towards the dreaded word, elderly.

I spent most of my life from those good old days to now doing the good old thing of working and paying the bills just like most of you. Then something happened and I changed course from what others wanted me to be to what I wanted to be and I found my bliss. I went to school and become a Massage Therapist and worked in gym and then into a health food store as a massage therapist. In order to renew my Massage licenses I took a Aromatherapy course and liked the health results that Aromatherapy made to my life so much I took a National Certification Course in Holistic Aromatherapy and recieved certification in 2003. I have been practicing Aromatherapy since then and have observed the world from inside the gyms and health food stores that have all the plant, herbal products and essential oils and have observed people who use them and how they can help one stay healthy without using all those dangerous drugs that are being used currently.

People are always telling me that the creator created the earth, the plants and humans in the same vein and we are closely related in many ways. Through the plants he created, he also created a way for animals and human beings to use these plants for a healthy life. Would any of us be here if there was no plants on the earth? I look into the night sky and am totally amazed that life on earth even could of started considering how big, vast and dangerous it is out there. I personally believe this earth was created for a reason and that guiding hands have guided it to this juncture.

I am proud to be one of those babyboomers and I think I was born during these great times for a reason. I am writing about what I have seen and to pass on this knowledge to others in the hope that it help other babyboomers through middle age and how to live a healthy and happy life. There are alternatives that one can do to stay healthy and learning about these are in your own self interests not some big company that cares about their profits more then your health.

It is not just about babyboomers however. We unlike any other generation born before on the earth was blessed with the ability to actually lead mankind into the next level coming up. We experienced life from an angle that had never ever been experienced before. We are the only ground breakers that can steer humanity in the right direction into the future.

Everybody is all freaked out about the depression or recession depending on who you listen too. Listen to me now. The rich has been almost wiped out and their power over how everything is run is ebbing. That is the best thing I have heard in my whole lifetime! The good news is all the generations after us are going to be able to buy homes at a affordable cost and get health care at a affordable cost.

As far as health care is concerned in the future a society that really takes care of "all" of its people in a caring matter and uses all the "Natural" ways to meet this vital means is a society that is worthly of the what we are and where mankind needs to go for everyones sake…

It is about time to use the knowledge from the past

What have we learned from the past?

There are those that say "the past is nothing and we should not consider the past because that is old and we have the tools of science now to determine the path to the future".

There also are those who say "The past clearly reveals the future path we should follow based upon the failures that we have seen happen in the past".

It seems that mankind has a real problem with this.

What is the answer?

In my personal opinion I think they both right in a way…

We do now have a more advanced science that can more clearly examine everything and explain more about how everything works. We also have a more profit driven society that dominates everything over every thing else including our health and how we live.

In the history of recent mankind there has always been those that "rule" their roost and make a modest profit and everything is pretty much okay. There really is nothing too wrong about this approach if it does not get out of hand.

The problems that we are facing now are more serious then ever. It is a make or break time for you my brothers and sisters. This is the time to either shit or get off the pot…

The things that Aromatherapy does is real and science is proving that every day. The old ways of saying  take this for a certain condition are being proved every day.

It is the greed of those that control the system that is destroying everything. It is not those that want to help you find safer ways to address your health…

What is the best way to sell something?

Claim it better then anything else…

I love our system in America that takes care of us in emergencies but the rest of our medical system that pumps their almost worthless drugs that kills our other organs in  the process sucks!

The old ways was based upon experience… Is not that the scientific way?

If the powers that created us and the earth and the heavens and everything is so great all knowledge is already there…

Love yourself first and then love everything else like yourself.

We all share the same pain living and we all are part of this totally amazing experience. When you master the art of living and being happy with nature you have reached your highest level of experience in this live…

Why does mankind keep screwing up?

It has not learned from the past and there are a lot of parasites making money off you…

Science is great and will prove that the natural substances in aromatherapy actually work when those that control the system lose control because of their failures not aromatherapy’s

What’s happening in organic foods?

In reviewing what the great authors in Aromatherapy wrote about food and organic foods there seems to be a unified agreement that organic foods are the best source of "fuel" for our bodies. Just like "Aromatherapy" products that are not real aromatherapy products there is numerous "organic" products that are not organic. Aromatherapy and Organics are real and marketers are using these terms to market products that don’t fit into the definition of these terms to make money off their deceptions.

There is a official site over at Organic Consumer Association that has been around for a very long time that knows organics like no one else and has a lot of useful information about organics. Organic standards should be strict, fair and for the public good over those that only market products under the impression that they are organic when in fact they are not.

There are things more important then money and your health is just one of those things. If your health fails what good is all the money in the world going to do for you. Please start living a healthy lifestyle and take care of your body and mind when you can before it starts getting affected by all the harmful things out there.

The use Aromatherapy calms the mind and heals the body.

There are many ways to improve your body and mind and the use of essential oils has been proven in many studies to assist with the healing of the body and mind. I would not had believed this before I started on my journey of exploring Essential oils for the different ailments that my body needed and the results are good. That is way I am doing this blog to encourage others to open their minds up and try something new for themselves.

So many of our ills are pyschomatic meaning they are a combination of mental and physical factors and for them to heal we need to take care of both in order to achieve lasting healing. Our bodies are wonderful healing machines in their own right, if you don’t set a broken bone it will heal deformed and if you can not heal the mind it will affect the physical aspects of you life in various ways that are not normal. To be fully alive one should use all the different resources including Essential oils to lift the mind out of the ordinary and to the next higher ievel of thought and happiness.
