Did you know that 80% of all doctor’s visits are due to stress related issues and about 50% of our most common illness are stress induced?
No wonder yoga had become so popular in our culture. It’s what millions of people do to move, breathe, unwind and let go of stress and tension. Yoga is a way clean the slate of our entire being.
But did you know that we can magnify our yoga practice with essential oils and reduce stress and the occasional blues with aromatherapy?
The olfactory in the action that takes place in the part of our brain where the (more…)
For this blog post, I wanted to introduce you to a dear friend, Brenda Charbonneau, who is standing here in front of an Egyptian pyramid. Brenda is Registered Nurse, specializing in Hospice Care. She is also an Urban Zen Integrative Therapist who I trained back in 2009. I asked her to write about her favorite oils and how she uses them with her patients and their families, and I thought what she wrote was so beautiful, I wanted to share this with you all. I think her words will inspire you too.

Spring is finally here and to get your whole being in resonance with the season, decide to clear and clean out the old, heavy energy of the winter and lighten up on all levels, physically, mentally and emotionally.
According to the principles of yoga, doing poses or asanas that twist and turn the body, such as the Belly Twist Version A, massages the inner muscles and organs, essentially wringing out toxins while (more…)
1. To help you set your intention, ask your self, “Why even cleanse?” For me, I know I will have more energy, my skin will glow, I will shed a few unwanted pounds, my thinking will be clearer, I will be more creative and productive, my immune system will strengthen and…well, the benefits are tremendous. I truly believe that cleansing and maintaining a clean diet benefits all areas of my life.
2. Get an cleansing buddy. Find someone you can be accountable to and with. It is shown that when you are embarking on a cleanse or new fitness/weight loss program, having support and supporting another will keep you in the game.
3. Environmental Cleanse. Start cleaning out your cupboards, pantry and refrigerator of what you know isn’t going to support your cleanse. Really clean those shelves. This can be looked as symbolically as to what you are going to be doing for your body. Also clean out your closet, backpack, purse and your car.
4. Begin eliminating the foods and drinks from your diet that won’t support your cleanse. My New Year’s resolution for 2014 was to abstain from drinking alcohol and I am already feeling the benefits!
5. Upon waking up, drink at least 8 to 16 ounces of water before ingesting anything else. Try adding four drops of Young Living’s Slique essential oil blend, or a drop of Young Living’s peppermint, lemon, grapefruit, spearmint and/or tangerine. Hydrating yourself in the morning is key to good digestion and elimination and adding a drop of two of any of these oils to your drinking water may help curb your appetite through out the day. Be sure to drink half of your body weight in ounces everyday. For instance if you weight 150 pounds, drink at least 75 ounces of water everyday. Juices and tea don’t count!
6. Invest in a juicer, Vita-Mix or my new favorite, the Nutri-Bullet and start shopping for organic produce at your local farmer’s market. As you get more into your cleanse, juicing and veggie/nut/fruit smoothies will be key nutrition for you.
7. Add more twists into your yoga practice. Twists may help encourage better digestion and elimination for your colon and help activate liver and kidney function. Incorporate more cardiovascular exercise into your daily routine. Since our skin is one of the largest organs of elimination, we want to sweat everyday!
