Pampering yourself is about self-care.
It's about giving to yourself so that you can be the best
you can be, feel the best you can feel, and look the best
you can look.
But how many people do you know who make pampering a
priority?
Not many if any - because lack of self-care is at epidemic
proportions. That's why the "spa" theme is so popular,
because the need is so great. And everybody is just too
busy. What busy-ness is saying is "I have to fulfill all of
these obligations and demands outside of myself". For the
most part, people put themselves last on the list, if they
make it there at all.
So what happens from a lack of self care?
The body ages faster, gains more weight, becomes more
susceptible to disease, and unhappiness becomes a normal
state.
So you might say, - "well Who has time for pampering?". . .
. . .and I say "ah! but there are ways to pamper ourselves
daily - that are easy, affordable, and portable too." The
reason I can say this is because seven years ago when I
learned about this - my life changed drastically.
Seven years ago I was introduced to therapeutic essential
oils. This was very different from the 'aromatherapy' I
studied in my board certification process to become a
Holistic Nurse. The experiences with these oils were
'energetic' - based on 'subtle energy' - of which I studied
for four years with physicist Barbara Brennan. I observed
that these plant oils had enough vital force (or chi) and
natural properties to:
-
Realign a spine with a simple application on the bottom of the feet
-
Encourage hair growth
-
Reduce wrinkles on the face
-
Diminish broken blood vessels
-
Calm an extremely nervous person by rubbing them on her wrists
-
Balancing the digestive track of someone who couldn't keep food down
-
Release pent up grief after loss of a loved one
-
Instill confidence and courage
-
Elevate the mood of a depressed person
-
Stop someone from snoring
-
Help insomnia
It almost sounds too good to believe, doesn't it? I would
think that too if I hadn't experienced and witnessed 7 years
of what I call 'mini-miracles'.
Here are essential oil recipes for some of the above
conditions:
- Hair growth 10 drops cedarwood, 8 drops rosemary, 10 drops
sandalwood, 10 drops lavender. Add equal amounts of base
massage oil and massage 1 tsp of mixture into the scalp
vigorously for 2 - 3 minutes; leave on scalp for 60-90
minutes (a great time to do this would be during an exercise
routine). Shampoo out.
- Help insomnia - Vetiver - apply a few drops to the bottom
of the feet
- Stop Snoring - thyme oil - rub on bottom of feet
