As we sit here at Starbucks waiting to meet with team members and potential new customers , my mind goes back to January 2016 and where we were in our journey in life. I will say first and foremost that we are most grateful to God for taking us through every fire that we have faced , this is why I feel so strong about this current door that has opened for us. This door comes in the form of essential oils and a company called Young Living.
Essential Oils are in fact the lifeblood of the plant so how can we benefit from this? This is where I feel that God has really started working on my understanding of these oils and their power and benefits to our body and health. While I'm not a doctor or medical professional at all I can certainly testify to the changes essential oils have made in my life since January.
I know that many people may not believe the way I do and that's ok , but I feel a strong need to get the word out about how these oils can make great changes in ones life. It is an up hill battle because so many people are very entrenched in modern man made medicine and seem to have no Faith in Natural methods at all yet they express a strong Faith in God. I for one have had my eyes opened to just what these oils can do and just how easy maintaining a healthy lifestyle can be.
There are many great things to be said about Young Living Essential Oils that were deciding factors in our choice of companies to work with. As Christians we are very careful about who we do business with and it must be honest and above board. In our research of companies we found Young Living to be just that and also found that many other members are like minded in their belief in God. We were also impressed with the quality of the products and the fact that they work as stated , there is not an auto ship unless you work it as a business which is totally your choice. You must also know that 93% of our members only use the products, that's only 7% that work as business owners.
Well enough for now. I will continue to share more of my experiences with essential oils and continue to offer a healthy lifestyle change to those who want to seriously make changes.
Until next time be Blessed
John

Life Changes Not Fads
Hello all!
Finally getting around to writing that post I promised on our new eating habits.
We are now using Young Living vitamins, minerals, essential oils, Ningxia, tooth paste, mouth wash, hand soap, hand sanitizer, cleaner, shave gel and more. There are so many products that we are switching over.
Ningxia Red is amazing, it is a high nutrient supplement. We learned the hard way just how great this is. We ran out after almost 30 days of taking it. The difference was amazing. We have not ran out again.
Thieves has a line of products that uses the Thieves essential oil. Every one of the products I have tried we have loved. The cleaner replaces every cleaner in your cabinet it smells great and cleans great too. The toothpaste and mouth wash are great. The ingredients are good for your mouth, The hand sanitizer has no chemicals that are harmful to you in it. The cough drops are new and are amazing at stopping coughs. The lozenges are great too.
The lavender shower gel is out of this world. I fell in love with it the first time I used it. I can't wait to try the shampoos, conditioners and other shower gels.
Your skin is your biggest organ everything in the air and any thing that touches it is absorbed and filtered. Keep that is mind when slathering on lotions, and using soaps and cleaners.
I won't keep going on about Young Living. I just wanted to share how they are also helping us in our new life walk.
We are eating a lot more fresh vegetables and fruit. We have cut out a lot of carbs and snack foods. When we eat out we make healthier choices. I can tell if we fall back to the less healthy meals. I actually crave the vegetables.
We are slowly losing weight and keeping it off. Before when changing my diet I have gone on fad diets. Those all led to failure because you have to change everything all at once. By changing one or two things at a time we are making great progress and creating life habits. I can not stress how important that is. Good habits start out weighing bad habits and you can tell a huge difference.
Let me encourage you to not listen to the nay sayers and strive to make 1 change at a time. Your life will change dramatically if you do that.
We are happier and healthier than ever before. We just want others to fell like we do and make better choices.

Spring Cleaning!
I am starting some spring cleaning here. We have let stuff get a head of us so I am also purging. What is funny though is the more I get rid of the more we seem to have. So what are you doing for your spring clean?
We are fixing to remodel the main bathroom. We have to replace tub it is plastic and cracking. I am going to replace with a shower. We will also replace toilet and put new cabinet with new sink also. I have tile to replace old linoleum flooring. Will keep you updated on progress.
We are also cleaning our health. We are changing our eating habits and removing toxins from the house. We are using a lot of essential oils, products that use essential oils instead of toxins and using vitamins with essential oils.
This is a slow process of removing items. You don't realize all the chemicals in everything you use. I have switched my toothpaste and love it! I am now getting rid of the toxic cleaners. The Thieves cleaners smells great and cleans good.
By changing our eating habits we are slowly losing weight and not gaining it back. We are making good habits and not falling back to the old ones. We are starting a nutrient habit, which means making sure we are getting vitamins and minerals that our body needs to function at peak. I will write a post on this all by itself later with a lot more detail.
Our dogs are also benefiting from our diffusing plus we use the essential oils to make their skin/coats healthier and repel insects. Diffusing is really beneficial to our high strung dog that is scared of everything and jumpy over every noise. By diffusing Stress Away it calms her down a lot.
Off to do some cleaning and purging. Have a Blessed day!

In The Beginning: Spikenard
SPIKENARD
Our third oil of the Bible that we will look at is Spikenard. This oil comes from India and is a highly medicinal oil. It was also one of the most precious oils of the time , used only by Priests , Kings , or High Initiates. We know of course the New Testament speaks of Mary of Bethany who anointed the feet of Jesus with this oil before the Last Supper.
Spikenard has a variety of medical properties such as, anti-bacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, relaxant, and an immune stimulant.
Some other well known uses for Spikenard are insomnia, menstrual problems/ PMS , heart arrhythmias, nervous tension. Spikenard has fragrant influences also, such as, relaxing and soothing , and helps nourish and regenerate the skin.
In our Bible Spikenard is mentioned more than a few times, one being in the Song of Solomon:1:12 " While the King sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof"
I hope you have enjoyed this brief overview of our third Ancient oil of the Bible.

In The Beginning Myrrh
MYRRH
Let us take a look at our second Ancient Oil of the Bible which will be " Myrrh". This oil has many wonderful qualities that we will list later in this post. Myrrh was also one of the gifts that was brought to Jesus at His birth.
Myrrh is obtained through a steam distillation process of the gum/resin. The origin country of Myrrh is Somalia and Myrrh is mentioned in some of the oldest medical records dating back to the 16th century (BC)in an ancient Egyptian list of 877 prescriptions and recipes. Arabian people used Myrrh for many things such as chapped or cracked skin and wrinkles. It was also listed in Hildegard's Medicine, a compilation of highly regarded medicines by Hildegard of Bingen ( 1098-1179).
Medical properties of Myrrh have been said to be :
Powerful Antioxidant
Antitumoral
Anti-Inflammatory
Anti Bacterial
Antiviral
Antiparasitic
Analgesic/Anesthetic
Myrrh has had many uses throughout the years and here are just a few:
Diabetes
Cancer
Hepatitis
Fungal Infections(Candida / Ringworm
Tooth / Gum Infections
Skin Conditions (Eczema / Cracked and Dry Skin / Wrinkles and Stretch Marks.
Fragrant Advantages of Myrrh include:
Promotes Spiritual awareness and is uplifting because it contains
Sesquiterpenes which stimulate the limbic system of the brain (the center of memory and emotions). Myrrh is found in many of our essential oils.
Genesis:43:11: And their father Israel said unto them, if it must be now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices and myrrh, nuts and almonds.
Exodus: 30:23: "Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure Myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels".

Thank You and God Bless you.

At that time there were no doctors or medicine as we know it today. It was all natural and made by God. It can't get any better that that.
So I'm going to introduce you to 12 oils of the Bible. I will give you a brief history of the oil and some of the things it was used for. I hope you not only enjoy exploring these ancient oils but may find them to help you in some way.
