An
Essential Oils Newsletter
Taking Responsibility
MAILING LIST REQUEST
My
newsletters reflect my present state of awareness and truth within
me. As I have made a total commitment to my own Emotional Ownership
and taking personal responsibility for my life, I choose to share my
recent insights with you. My life has always been an “open book” for
your learning and self realization process.
I am not here to
tell anyone how to live or what to believe. I simply share my truths
with you for the purpose of stimulation for your own insights. Part
of this process in my life, called Emotional Ownership, means that I
am perfectly honest with you in what I am experiencing. This
sometimes brings up feelings of fear or anxiety within me. I know
not all people will agree with me. In the past, I allowed this fear
to stop me from being who I truly am. This is no longer acceptable
to me.
Some people may be offended by my truths due to their
religion, beliefs or values in their life. In the past, I allowed
these considerations to prevent me from sharing my total truth. I am
now growing past this former consideration.
I know that this
fear within me was because I was in denial of my own emotions, and I
feared to stimulate another person to feel strong emotions. However,
my Higher Self will no longer tolerate this cowardice. I am here to
share my truth. You are here to share your truth. As always, use
what resonates within you and leave the rest.
I spent two
years of my life in the creation of my book, “Embraced by the
Essence!” This book is loaded with all the information I could put
together from a third dimensional, physical way as to the
Naturopathic Model of healing and the essential oil and supplement
suggestions from the research of Gary Young.
The longer I
engage in Emotional Ownership, the more I am drawn to finding all
the answers within me, rather to just take a pill or rub on an oil
and expect all my life challenges to suddenly disappear.
It
is time for all of us to fully and completely empower ourselves.
While the remedies are physical manifestations of God, the true
point of power is always within. This is now my teaching focus. I
share my own insights in my newsletters, based on my personal
experience, with you in what has brought about the most significant
healing changes in myself, and in the people who are drawn to work
with me.
My work is very different from the way many others
use aromatherapy, homeopathy, herbs or other supplements. I have
three books that describe very well the remedies to use for certain
conditions, which helps in a physical, third dimensional way. My
newsletters contain my most up-to-date research in what is
underlying the reason as to why the condition manifested itself to
begin with. My focus in all the work that I do is to help you
empower yourself.
RESPECTING MOTHER EARTH
Welcome,
my friends, to summer, another season of being outside in nature,
and reconnecting to our beautiful Mother Earth. She is expressing
her emotions big time in some parts of the United
States.
Weather patterns are the emotional expressions of
planet Earth. In New Mexico, we have had some very strong winds.
Strong wind stirs up energies in our physical and subtle bodies. It
can represent anger. I've certainly owned the formerly repressed
anger in me, as the winds have been so strong!
Yes, I have
used Harmony, Forgiveness, Peace and Calming, Gathering, Release and
many other emotional oil blends to help draw my anger out of the
many places where it was stuck in my body. And, I did the next step,
which was to OWN my anger, and accept responsibility for
it.
Tornadoes are the rage of Mother Earth. While I have
compassion for the destruction caused by the recent tornadoes in
Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas, it is nevertheless a symbol for the
consciousness of those in that area.
It is no coincidence
that we are drawn to live or visit certain places on the planet, at
given periods of time. Each energy has something to teach us about
ourselves.
I was drawn to visit Egypt because of many
lifetimes I lived in that part of the world. It also taught me to
come into my full power as a woman. Living in a predominantly Muslim
society reminded me that it is my choice to live in true equality
with men.
My recent experiences in Sweden taught me to tune
in more to nature, and to be willing to express my true emotions, in
the moment. In Sweden, as in Egypt, there is a great emphasis on
everything being pleasant, and to give wonderful hospitality.
However, in this desire for pleasantness, there can be the tendency
to repress emotions, to keep the status quo, or to not rock the
boat.
Take a look around where you live and see how whatever
is happening is a mirror of your consciousness. Rather than to judge
things in terms of “right” or “wrong”, “good” or “bad”. Just
observe, look inside you, own what your external environment is
showing you about yourself. Then, you can choose what you want to do
about what is going on. Perhaps some Acceptance, Magnify Your
Purpose or
Motivation oils would be useful as you tune in.
LEARNING
FROM SYMBOLOGY
Everything on this planet is a symbol for
something within our consciousness. It is part of my work on this
planet to assist people in learning about the symbology of our
physical body, and how that is a symbol for our own emotional
bodies. So it is with the planet, on a much larger scale.
We
are living on a living being, which we call Earth. We have a
physical body, and She has a planetary body. However, some people
still don't realize that She has a consciousness, just as we do. As
many of us have not always respected our Earth Mother, She is now
expressing her emotions. This is a very wonderful reminder to those
of us in human bodies to do likewise.
Disease happens in our
physical bodies because of our denied emotions. There are no
coincidences or victims. We don't “catch” diseases from others. We
draw to us whatever goes on for many reasons. The primary reasons
are always to learn about our state of awareness and
consciousness.
Tornadoes, earthquakes, avalanches and floods
are here to remind us to Wake Up! It is time to think of more than
just ourselves, as we are all One in Spirit. We grow as we work
together for the common goal of Spiritual Union, rather than to
focus on separation and the “me first” attitude that is so prevalent
in America at this time.
I entitled this newsletter “Taking
Responsibility” because I find this is one of the most important
principles in healing ourselves, and also in living a full and
richly satisfying life. Have you ever met a victim or a martyr who
is truly happy and living a fulfilled and satisfying life? I'm sure
you have not!
The reason is that these people do not know
what it means to take responsibility for their own life. So, they
deny their own emotions. They project their unexpressed,
unexperienced emotions onto others, and then blame
others.
EMOTIONAL OWNERSHIP
I shared with you in
the March newsletter about Emotional Ownership in regards to heart
conditions. I will be using this expression a lot, as it is my
truth. Until we, as a human race, put into practice the principle of
owning, accepting, taking responsibility for and expressing our
emotions, we are going to stay stuck, living frustrating,
stressed-out lives while wondering how in the world we can feel
peace, serenity, and the satisfaction we choose to have in our
lives.
When I was first introduced to therapeutic quality
essential oils, and most especially the emotional and spiritual
blends, I truly thought I could just rub on an essential oil, and
“get rid of” my unpleasant (so called “negative”) emotions. Yes, I
did feel much better just using the oils. It brought up my repressed
emotions to the surface. That in itself was a remarkable change, and
I felt much better.
However, I have learned that until I take
ownership of my emotions and see them as my friends, rather than as
enemies, they just move from one place in my body to another. It is
my truth that no oil, homeopathic, flower essence, gem elixir,
pressure-point technique, sound therapy, hypnosis or therapy talk
will bring about true and permanent healing without the concurrent
principle of Emotional Ownership put into action.
Only in
loving and accepting our emotions, and in learning what they have to
teach us, do the symptoms of these formerly repressed emotions
disappear in all aspects of our bodies. It isn't that we “get rid of
them.” It is that we loved them into the wholeness of our
expression.
Yes, all of these techniques and remedies are
very wonderful. I have utilized and benefited from them all. And, I
am here to report my truth that we need to take personal
responsibility and get much more involved in our healing processes.
I would not be where I am in my healing were it not for all these
beautiful essential oils, and the other remedies and practices which
I use. However, I would be remiss in my role as a true healer,
without reporting my new realizations that there is more to the
picture.
EMOTIONAL CLEARING PROCESS
The way I
engage in emotional clearing on a person is to have the person lie,
face down, on my table. I hold Valor on their feet until they pulse
evenly. If this takes more than a few minutes and my intuition tells
me this person is not going to come into balance with just Valor, I
check to see if the spine is vibrating. I find in 9 cases out of 10
lately that it is not.
Many people have radiation or a miasm
in their spine, which causes the vibrations in the spine to shut
down. I use my intuition or my pendulum and select which oil(s) the
person needs. The oil blend I find most frequently to do this job is
Gathering. This is the strongest of any of the emotional clearing
oils. This oil has a very high frequency. If this does not do it
alone, I see what else is next.
The last person I worked on
needed three layers of oils to get her spinal column vibrating. She
needed Valor, Gentle Baby and Orange. Each person will need
different oils. Use your methods of discernment for the person with
whom you are working.
After the spinal column is vibrating, I
check the feet again to make sure they are pulsing evenly. Next, I
generally do some toning, making sounds that awaken soul memories. I
have found that often the first sounds are very powerful, often in a
low tonal scale. The second tone often sounds out the hurting area,
such as the heart. The sounds are very weak and manifest the
energies of hurt or pain. Then I turn the person over, so they are
lying on their back.
I then use whatever oils my intuition or
my pendulum tells me, and put them in the various locations. It is
different with each person. According to what oils I feel drawn to
use, I then proceed to ask questions to the person. For instance, if
I find the person needs Inner child, SARA, Gentle Baby, or Peace
& Calming, I begin to address childhood or abuse patterns. If
there are other oils needed, I see what those oils relate to, and
ask appropriate questions.
I locate the point of repressed
emotions in the body most wanting to have loving compassion,
acceptance and expression. In many cases this is in the abdomen or
heart areas. Sometimes it is in the throat areas. I dialogue with
the person until I discover what is going on that requires emotional
acceptance, ownership and expression.
Either the person will
talk about some memory in their childhood, or they will just make
sounds. Sometimes another life experience will surface, and the
person will begin to tell me the traumatic memory that has come to
the surface. As some souls have many repressed emotions, they may
not have words for their pain. Therefore, I encourage them to make a
sound with the intention of communicating the anger, fear, grief,
pain and hurt present.
LEARNING TO DISCERN AND TUNE
IN
It is vitally important now that those of you who choose
to work with essential oils learn a method of tuning in to the body.
In a previous newsletter, I discussed the use of the pendulum. I
find this a very easy method, if my intuition doesn't tell me what
to do. Some use muscle testing.
If you desire a copy of the
issue with information about using the pendulum, please send a
self-addressed, stamped envelope and $3 for it. The information on
how to use a pendulum is also the first chapter in my book,
“Integrating Your Wholeness.”
The most frequently asked
question from readers of my book “Embraced by the Essence!” is how
exactly do they proceed to use all the oils listed in my book.
People want me to tell them how to heal their friend, spouse or
family member.
The point of power and all answers are within
you. God is within you. You have all the power you need and all the
answers to the questions within you. Learn to ask, and trust the
answer you get. Unless you have a way of tuning in to the person, I
don't suggest working with anyone other than yourself. I know this
may anger or disappoint some of you who feel so drawn to do healing
work on others.
Recognize that the reason you desire to heal
others is that you primarily want to heal yourself. We all project
onto others our own issues and our own emotions because we are in
such great denial much of the time. This is not meant to sound like
a judgment. It is not meant to sound disempowering. It is meant to
inspire you to wake up and work with your own emotional body. When
you begin the process of Emotional Ownership, and in taking full
responsibility for yourself, you will naturally stop denying what is
within and you will stop projecting onto others.
OVER
CARE-TAKING
One of the biggest patterns on planet Earth today
that would serve us all to get over is this issue of over
care-taking. When we focus so much of our energies on serving
others, we neglect and abuse ourselves.
Yes, we all love each
other. It is difficult for us to see someone else in pain. Yet, when
we all take responsibility for that which we draw to us, we will see
that unless we heal ourselves, we can not engage in facilitating
healing on anyone else.
Learning to feel our emotions,
discern our needs and desires and attending to them is a big first
step in stopping this addiction so many of us have to over
care-taking. It is important to learn to feel clearly within
ourselves what our issues are. Then, we must find a way to
communicate them. Learn to set boundaries in our
lives.
SETTING BOUNDARIES
Many in the over
care-taking pattern don't have clear boundaries. Many in this
situation say “yes” to most everything, and find it next to
impossible to say “no” to requests on our time, energies or
resources.
The oils that support you in setting more clear
boundaries are blends such as Sacred Mountain, (or all of the
conifer tree oils as singles), Aroma Life, Ylang Ylang, Magnify Your
Purpose,
Canadian Red Cedar, Cedarwood, Patchouly, Vetiver, Clarity,
Motivation, Grounding, and Live with Passion.
The use of these oils
will help give you a strong foundation in your base chakra, awaken
your heart chakra, and help to activate and balance your masculine
and feminine energies. Whether or not you are occupying a male or a
female body, you have both masculine and feminine energies within
you.
You need strong masculine energies to set boundaries, or to
establish ground rules in yourself and in any relationship that
works. Masculine energies provide the action needed to implement the
feminine energies. You need strong feminine energies to tune into
your heart, to awaken and feel the energies of your desires. When
you come from a place of balance between these two forces within you
(whether you are in a male or a female body), and when you tune into
God within you, uniting your energies with those of the Creator
within, you are in your power.
GRADE C MAPLE
SYRUP
Many of you have asked about the availability of Grade
C Maple Syrup. I have just found out from a reader (A.J.
Cohan) who researched this and discovered Southface Farm Sugarhouse
in Ashfield, MA (413) 628-3268. They sell this syrup to patrons of
the Master Cleanser Diet. The grading terminology has been changed
by the USDA What used to be called grade C is now called grade B.
Check out their website: www.shaysner.com, or e-mail
tmccrumm@shaysner.com or maple@shaysner.com. The syrup sells for
about $30 for 2 gallons.
WORKING WITH
AUTISM
Autism is a condition in which one's reality is
greatly distorted. There is a tendency towards introversion and
aloneness, excluding the external reality. Many times it is
diagnosed as a “mental disease”, and people have thus worked with
essential oils relating to brain function.
In any disease
condition, it is always wise to ensure proper neurological function,
which controls other body processes. Choose the oils that work on
the brain and spinal cord.
In the heightened healing and
spiritual work with which I am now engaging, I am finding that all
disease conditions have an emotional component. This is especially
the case with autism. One must discern why this person, usually a
child, has the desire to cut him or herself off from their external
reality.
In many cases, there has been a severe past life
experience of trauma. Perhaps the person was killed in a severe
earthquake, tornado, fire, volcano or flood. Perhaps the person was
imprisoned in a concentration camp, raped or killed in a
particularly traumatic manner.
So, the autistic individual
doesn't feel safe to exist in a physical body, in a physical
dimension. They may not feel safe or feel they can trust themselves
or others because they are expecting a repetition of a painfully
traumatic experience.
This type of condition requires most of
all an unconditionally loving and accepting facilitator. One must
respect the space this individual is in, and not judge them. Begin
slowly to build trust. Use essential oils which will help that
person bring their buried emotions to the surface. Sometimes Rose
oil will be too strong to use at first. Use gentle oils such as
Orange, Inner Child, Acceptance, Awaken, or Gentle
Baby.
Don't try to smother this person with hugs and other
manifestations of love expression. They may not want to be touched,
so honor this. Gradually, as you choose the correct oils for this
person, they will begin to open up. They may be filled with fear,
anger and rage. Let them act this out through toning, or making
sounds, art therapy, dance or movement therapy, kicking in a
swimming pool, screaming and hitting pillows against a bed or just
hitting their fists into the pillow. Do what works for this
individual.
The most important part of this process for the
facilitator is to drop your expectations as to outcome. You may be
able to help them in this lifetime, or you may not. It may take
several lifetimes before this individual feels safe enough to come
into physical form without such a debilitating
condition.
Changing the oils you use on a daily or weekly
basis is very important. Don't use the same oils all the time. Allow
the body to select the one(s) it needs at a given time, and watch
what progresses.
PAST LIFE ISSUES
Many of the present
disharmonies or disease conditions in our bodies are here in this
lifetime because of experiences in other lifetimes. I will give a
few examples of how these patterns can carry over from one lifetime
into the next:
Cancer can manifest due to old resentments, or
a need to punish yourself out of extreme guilt, self-judgment or
self-disgust.
Fibroid Tumors in the female reproductive
organs can manifest due to dying in childbirth in another life
experience, or due to anger, fear or rage at
men.
Constipation and Intestinal Challenges can manifest due
to your body being sick and tired of all the emotional residues and
old vows you are holding on to, lifetime after lifetime. It can be
due to over care-taking, old resentments, or anger towards
yourself.
REORGANIZATION
OF MY BUSINESS
As I reported in my last newsletter, I am in
the process of reformatting my entire business. My work as a healing
teacher is changing dramatically as I gain new experience in my own
healing, and in those who are drawn to work with me.
I am now
working with three new people. My life partner, Markho Rafael from
Sweden, will be here in July to join me in my work. Markho will
publish my books and William Shaffer's books. He will also do the
promoting and marketing of our books and services.
William
Shaffer and Donald Johnson have also joined me and are now living in
Socorro. Together, we are all here to serve you in our respective
ways. Markho, Donald and William will be answering the phone and
taking your orders for products and services.
NEWSLETTER SUBSCRIPTIONS
Sometimes, I
send out hard copies of the newsletter to everyone on my mailing
list. Most times, I only send it to those who have sent in their
donation for subscriptions. To ensure you will get a hard copy of
every issue, please send me your check for $12 or more, which simply
helps with the cost of printing and postage. I do newsletters
quarterly.
